[edit]
Task List
SPAM Rework
Target: 2.12.1 Owner: Srini Fix Learn as HAM Add bogofilter to plugin base Add support for pluggable JUNK filters. User should be able to choose the default junk filter of the available plugins Provide a interface for providing options for filters. Currently SA options are in Core mailer code. Status: Committed to trunk
Backup Restore support
Target: 2.12.1 Owner: Srini Test the backup-restore plugin. Currently .evolution, gconf are backedup/overlayed. Improve the interface for asking the details to import/restore Add camel-certs also the backup list. Passwords wont be under this list. Evaluate the option to overlay on Evolution assistant setup (New account). Status: Committed to trunk. Needs more testing

Fix and Refactor Printing
Target: 2.12.x Owner: Matthew Clean up Evolution's printing code to better utilize GtkPrint. Also fix several rendering and pagination bugs.

Proposals
[edit]
General
- andre proposes those ten issues again that he already proposed with good reasons for the last decades...
- https://go-evolution.org/Evo2.10
- 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 ?
- 247373 - Intrusive Error Dialogs
- 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
[edit]
- 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.
[edit]
Tasks
- 127558 - Bugzilla Task Backend
- Tasklist Improvements (More quick search and advanced search options)
- Support for copying from a task widget in evolution to the calendar with formatting.
[edit]
Exchange support
- Exchange Delegates support (Mail/Calendar)
- Exchange Summary support (Show from cache)
[edit]
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
