401295 - Use new shutdown service to empty trash, expunge inbox, compact folders on shutdown

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Attachment: work in progress

In order to test the new shutdown service, and refine its API, I've done a little work to move expunging the inbox and emptying trash on shutdown to the new shutdown service, and reworked the compact folder code so that it can be used by the shutdown service (which mostly involves making sure the url listener is notified). The attached patch basically works though it needs to be improved on. It should use a pref to decide if it should compact on exit, and shouldn't hard-code the per-server threshold (though using the global threshold isn't the right thing either). We could perhaps prompt the user if they want to compact folders on exit as well...

making dependent on shutdown service bug.

if we do this, instead of just commenting out the call to hashshutdown servers, we should remove all that code as well.
