Details

The interfaces required for implementing a new protocol are inconsistent and have a fair amount of now-unused or protocol-specific cruft, all of which adds to the burden of implementing a new protocol. These interfaces should be combed for dead methods or settings which can be moved into generic code.

Some candidates:

  • nsIMsgIncomingServer
  • nsIMsgFolder
  • nsIMsgMessageService
  • nsIMsgDatabase

This bug is not intended to encompass a significant refactoring of the existing interface, but rather a way to address low-hanging fruit getting in the way of new work.
