73499 - [CCK]Need to support prefs, "leave_on_server", as a pop3 server in RDF ds

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect, P2)

Description

[tao]

As of now, this POP3 server pref is not supported in RDF datasource. The
consequence is that we can't conifgure a new POP3 mail account by specifying 
this pref in fooISP.rdf.

Tao, do you have a list of all highest priority items you need supported?

Comment 2

[tao]

How about marking the severity field as "major" as an indication?

Add [CCK] to the summary field for reference.

moving to 0.9.2.  If this can get fixed in 0.9.1 that's ok, too.

Here is how you add customization for leaving messages and deleting messages 
when deleted locally. 

Shruti is working on adding these customizations in ISP's rdf file and the 
following syntax should be familiar with following syntax.

             <NC:rememberPassword>false</NC:rememberPassword>
+            <NC:ServerType-pop3>
+              <NC:nsIPopIncomingServer>
+                <NC:leaveMessagesOnServer>true</NC:leaveMessagesOnServer>
+                <NC:deleteMailLeftOnServer>false</NC:deleteMailLeftOnServer>
+              </NC:nsIPopIncomingServer>
+            </NC:ServerType-pop3>
           </NC:nsIMsgIncomingServer>

Above details are going under incomingServer section.

&

Other customizations, viz., 

         <NC:wizardPromote>true</NC:wizardPromote>
+        <NC:wizardShow>true</NC:wizardShow>
+        <NC:emailProviderName>Fred's ISP</NC:emailProviderName>
+        <NC:sampleEmail>[e-mail]</NC:sampleEmail>
+        <NC:sampleUserName>username</NC:sampleUserName>
+        <NC:emailIDDescription>user name</NC:emailIDDescription>
+        <NC:emailIDFieldTitle>User Name:</NC:emailIDFieldTitle>
+        
<NC:showServerDetailsOnWizardSummary>false</NC:showServerDetailsOnWizardSummary> 
 
       </NC:nsIMsgAccount>

allows ISp to customize the identity page in the account wizard.

This is pretty a safe change. It is not going hurt the build. This one is just 
an example file designed for ISPs to follow and build their own rdf file. So, it 
is a lot of addded value.

Adding Seth to cc list.

According to johng, "OK to miss by beta - at a minimum we need a way for 
distributors to manually customize this pref at rtm."

sr=sspitzer, as long as all the new options in example.rdf work.

Comment 12

[racham]

I tested those options, they set the preferences (on/off) based on the boolean 
values in the rdf file.

[Shruti Vasudevan]
