tags 321102 patch
thanks
Hi,
please consider the following patch. It disables DIMAP by simply
removing the DIMAP option when creating a new account, making it
impossible to create a new DIMAP account. Regular IMAP is still
perfectly possible.
In order to protect users with existing DIMAP accounts, it also pops up
a warning whenever KMail gets started and detects an DIMAP account.
The patch does not disable DIMAP itself. In fact it does not even touch
the DIMAP code. So other PIM components using DIMAP internally should
not be affected.
I've tested the patch and it seems to work fine.
The patch itself is very small: there are currently two ways to create a
DIMAP account, 1) the regular way and 2) when you start KMail the first
time an the wizard pops in. I've disabled the gui-Elements for the
DIMAP-options in both cases.
The second part of the patch is for the popup. Every time KMail starts
and detects a DIMAP account the popup with a warning is shown.
I think this patch is a good compromise. It does not really fix the bug,
but prevents the user from using DIMAP. IMHO it's better and cleaner
this way than just closing the bug by documenting it.
Cheers,
Bastian
