Proposals
General
andre proposes those ten issues again that he already proposed with good reasons for the last decades...
- Preloaded popular email providers (GMail, more...)
Ditch the gnome-pilot sync in favor of integration with http://www.opensync.org/
** (GNOME seems to be going the route of http://www.conduit-project.org/ so perhaps this should be considered instead of opensync?)
- Sync GNOME and Evolution versions GNOME 2.20/Evolution 2.20
- Split UI
- Unified Account Management
** maybe reusing libslab (control-center) would be something to look at ?
413618 - Add Undo function for tasks, notes and appointments
438050 - Add summary page for tasks, appointments, birthdays in advance etc
- Make Evolution detect that it crashed last time, like Epiphany does. This may be as simple as touching a file somewhere at start up and removing it on exit. Then on the next start up, check whether the file exists. If it does, take appropriate action like not displaying anything in the preview pane. What else?
255248 - Launching Evo when already running shouldn't start second instance
- Disk-summary
- IMAPX
- IMAP ACL support ?
- Server Side rules (IMAP/Exchange), manageSIEVE
- Custom mail headers while sending mails
- Better support for IMAP offline mode (caching everything in background for first time, instead caching single message when click on it)
A seperate field for specifying the server port (e.g.: 993 for imap-ssl). not only beginners come from mail programs (e.g. outlook) with such a field and without the knowledge, that it can be done via: mail.server:993. (additionally, e-mail providers have documentated the several ports, but an engaged and secure thinking beginner don't know, hot to put it in evolution
a simplier solution: let evolution choose the ports automatically for standard ports. a solution, but not beginner-friendly: give a hint in the ui, how the port must be specified.
Tasks
- Tasklist Improvements (More quick search and advanced search options)
- Support for copying from a task widget in evolution to the calendar with formatting.
Exchange support
- Exchange Delegates support (Mail/Calendar)
- Exchange Summary support (Show from cache)
Calendar
- Work out calendar tooltip slugish behaviour (bug #)
**Can you be more descriptive. Please give the bug id if there are any. ***Tooltip on calendar events is really slow to (re)draw so on slow computer you often see a not so nice trace when moving the mouse a bit fast, will search for a bug ID or fill one ASAP
