781443 - Make imapd.js fakeserver simulate real Gmail server

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Testing Infrastructure, defect)

Description

[Atul Jangra [:atuljangra]]

As a part of bug 721316( and few others), IMAP fake server now has the ability to behave as GMail server.
In GMail server, the response of X-GM-LABELS does not return a label corresponding to the current folder. In our "GMail" fake server, we are not taking care of this. We should be doing a check if X-GM-LABELS has a label corresponding to current folder, if so, then we should remove it form the X-GM-LABELS response. 
Depending upon the test-creator for this check is not a good option.

We need to amend the code here:

so as to do the needful. 

CCing David Bienvenu, and Joshua Cranmer.

P.S.: bienvenu: expert in imap and gmail
jcranmer: implemented fakeserver. ( I think!)

Well, I created the patch for Bug 721316, where this was a problem.
So I consider it as a bug, and hence confirming it. :)

Should mark this a blocks bug 798145

I have already made some Gmail related improvements to impad.js in bug 495318, but there is still more to do. This should probably be the first bug to take on so that xpcshell tests can be written for the other bugs that block bug 798145.

I have changed the description of this bug to be broader than just the X-GM-LABELS implementation in imapd.js, although that is the main thing left to do.

We also need to do some work on the message storage. I have some ideas, but they need to ferment a bit more before I write them down.

Please do discuss your ideas as soon as they are ready :-)
