Note to myself:

• make sure to include global folder read/unread status in change event

Comment 3

[John Bieling]

What properties would you like to be notified on changed? This is related to what folder properties should be exposed (those which are not accessible at the moment are marked with missing)

• name
• type
• number of read/unread messages (missing)
• is favorite (missing)

What else?

Comment 4

[klaus]

what are the properties we get in the nsifolderlistenner? That has the notify functions, but does not tell for which properties.

just had a lokk at folder properites in the rightclick property menu

-indexed - subscribed - color - synced

what else from that screen and its tabs?

The patch was already so big, I only added the minimum "favorite", "totalMessageCount" and "unreadMessageCount" information. In a follow-up bug I will try to add color and quota, which seem the most useful remaining information.
