 * more options should be accessible by right-clicking on account (in left pane):
  * account settings (currently they are buried in the general Settings dialog)
  * IMAP subscriptions
 * when opening Settings dialog, the window resizes after some hundred msec -> if you click quickly, the click might land on another button if the window resizes just in that moment
 * enabling "only show subscribed folders" in IMAP account settings is not applied when closing the dialog (have to restart Evo to make it apply)
 * what do the icons in message list (like the orange circle with white exclamation mark) mean?
  * maybe add tooltips to icons or to headers?
 * the number of unread messages in IMAP Inbox is wrong (Evo says 891 while Claws and others say 2339); the absolute number of mails is correct, though
  * looks like the "missing" mails have been moved to the "Unerwünscht" (Junk?) folder somehow (including some non-spam mails)
  * again, some information about this folder would be nice (like in Properties dialog)
 * the Sent folder for IMAP account does not have special icon (but its name is translated) while the Sent folder for Local Computer does have
 * while all folders can be excluded from mail checking (in Properties), this is not possible for the Junk folder, where it would be useful for me
  * looks like the icon-marked Junk folder is not the same as my IMAP Junk folder but rather some special folder

Articles I'm working on:

Info scraps

  • build deb package without cleaning tree: dpkg-buildpackage -b -D -nc -rfakeroot -us -uc

  • allow moving windows above top panel in Compit: gconftool-2 --set /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/constrain_y --type bool 0

Questions

  • suppose I want to make a self-developed application [or Gedit plugin] available on Ubuntu (on latest four releases); what would be the best way to do this?
    • it shouldn't be necessary to become heavily involved with Ubuntu for this (no MOTU or the like)
    • bonus points for offering the app through a PPA
    • take the "Windows way" as challenge (on Win, it's possible to offer apps simply as static binaries or as setup.exe files)
  • how should spelling/grammar errors in Ubuntu Gnome translations be reported or fixed?
