Single-window mode is meant to minimize mu4e window operations (opening,
killing, resizing, etc) and buffer changes, while still retaining the
view and headers buffers. In addition, it replaces mu4e main view with a
minibuffer prompt containing the same information.
The kill ring fills up with lines like:
C: 0/1 B: 28/29 M: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0 S: +2/2 *1/1 #0/0
when using mbsync or another tool using carriage return for progress.
Make the structures use for mu4e-bookmarks a defstruct, and update its
usage throughout the codebase. This makes it a bit easier to read and
extend.
Ensure that the old-style bookmarks are automatically converted.
Add two variables mu4e-index-cleanup and mu4e-index-lazy-check, which
correspond to mu index option --lazy-check and --nocleanup.
Extend the mu server protocol a bit to handle this.
The defaults keep things behaving as they done before.
Clean up the creation of html files a bit, and automatically clean them
up after a short while, so we don't clutter /tmp.
Refactor the html-generating actions, so we don't repeat ourselves too
much.
Though it shouldn't, some users have
mu4e-compose-complete-ignore-address-regexp at nil, which gives errors
with the new contacts code. Be a bit more tolerant.
Improve the contact-sorting algorithm, and make it better cooperate with
completion-at-point functions.
Also deal better with broken rewritten contacts, and document how
rewriting should done (docstrings and reference doc).
mu: cleanup server side; make sure not to loose 'personal' flag when
seeing same contact in non-personal context
mu4e: tweak the sorting algorithm a bit to take the personal flag into
account
set up the extra machinery for making sure emacs does not try to re-sort
our already-sorted contacts.... Also try to improve the sorting strategy
itself.
When we determine the drafts/refile/trash/sent folder, see if we can
find a context matching the particular message. If we find one, let-bind
the vars for that context before determining the folder.
This allows e.g for moving message to context-specific folder, rather
than the one for the current context - useful when dealing with headers
buffers with message belonging to different contexts.
Allow setting a policy about what context to choose when starting mu4e
and composing a message. Basically:
When you have defined contexts and you start mu4e it decides which
context to use based on the variable `mu4e-context-policy';
similarly, when you compose a new message, the context is determined
using `mu4e-compose-context-policy'.
These policies can be one of the following:
- a symbol always-ask: unconditionally ask the user what context to pick
The other choices only apply if none of the context matches (i.e., if
none of the contexts' match-functions returns t:
- symbol ask: ask the user
- a symbol pick-first: pick the first context
- nil: don't change the context
Since the environment (and settings) can change, default to
re-calculating the maildirs when we need them. When you have so many
maildirs that this is slow, you can set mu4e-cache-maildir-list to
t (but be sure to read the docstring).
When contexts have been defined, automatically select one at startup --
either the first whose match-function returns non-nil, or simply the
first one.
Document this, too.
This way mu4e will intelligently shorten mailing list names which
contain dots:
(setq mu4e-mailing-list-patterns
'("\\([a-z0-9.]+\\)\.lists\.company\.com"))
Only issue a message. Refactor a bit.
This is for the use-case where the time to update is longer than the
period between updates -- e.g. you return from suspension/hibernation
and an old update process is still running.
Add two new customization variables:
mu4e-index-update-error-continue
mu4e-index-update-error-warning
With these, we can configure what happens when the mail-retrieval
program finishes with a non-zero exit code.
Make the default to warn but continue; it seems quite some users got
bitten by the old behavior of not updating after an error (which may
only be a pseudo-error). offlineimap/mbsync do not document their exit
codes very well, unlike fetchmail.
Also update manual for this.
Added the customisation option 'mu4e-completing-read-function' which can
be used to choose which method of input-with-completion will be used by
mu4e. This variable is set to the function which mu4e will use.
By default, mu4e will use ido (via 'ido-completing-read'), but any
compatible completing-read function can be used instead. Interesting
choices would include 'helm-comp-read' for Helm-based completion, and
'completing-read' for the built-in basic completion system.
