K-9 Mail 2.400

Description/changelog of K-9 Mail 2.400:

Significant new features

  • It's much faster!
  • Implement local message search
  • Guess mime type (when not specified) of attachments of received messages using file name extension so that we can open them
  • Headers in Accounts, Folder List and Message List now show unread count and background processing activity

Performance

  • lazify loading of message headers in LocalFolder, since they're not needed in most of our use cases.
  • When we load up the "Accounts" activity as K-9 starts up, jump straight to either the FolderList or the MessageList rather than always going through the FolderList
  • Kill the no-op Welcome activity to improve startup performance

Message List

  • Added a new "touch friendly" style with message previews
  • Made it possible to enable or disable "stars" for flagged messages
  • Added swipe-to-select for operations on multiple messages
  • Eliminated old multi-modal message lists.
  • There is now an Expunge action in the option menu.
  • A new "Batch ops" option menu in Message List. Provides flag/unflag, mark as read/unread and delete and select/deselect all. Move and copy are partially implemented, but disabled.
  • The "Sort by..." menu now toggles ascending/descending when the currently selected sort mode is clicked.
  • Incorporate Vincent Lum's new icon for the batch ops sub-menu

Message Composition

  • Eliminate carriage returns from reply and forward text.

Folder List

  • There is now an Expunge action in the context menu (long-press on the folder).

Configuration

  • Add a global preference for enabling animations, beyond those that are necessary. Defaults to "enabled."
  • 250, 500 and 1000 messages may now be synced per folder.
  • Allow user to set a limit on the number of folders to be handled with push technology.

Protocol Support

  • Initial implementation of CRAM-MD5 support for IMAP and SMTP.
  • Only use the IDLE timeout for the folder while actually in IDLE state.
  • For IMAP accounts, it is now possible to disable the copying of deleted messages to the Trash folder, by setting the Trash folder to -NONE-.
  • Each IMAP account can be set to expunge messages in a folder as soon as a move or delete is performed on the folder ("immediately"), each time the folder is polled, or only when executed manually.
  • For WebDAV accounts, the user can now choose the server-side equivalents of the special folders, just like for IMAP.
  • Improvements to cut down on the number of IMAP server connections opened

Platform Integration

  • Implemented delete intent broadcast
  • Delete intents are now broadcasted when we delete a message because it was deleted on the server
  • Implementation of a Receiver and Service to provide for the capability to accept control from other Android applications. Allows for changing both Account-level and global settings. Account-level settings can be applied to a single Account or to all Accounts.

Internals

  • Code namespace changed back to com.fsck.k9
  • Basic code style cleanups
  • Optimized import statements
  • Replace MessageList, FolderList and AccountList's outdated message-passing mechanism with runOnUiThread for improved code clarity and performance.
  • Killed a bunch of debug logging that clutters (and slows) production apps
  • Made it possible to instantiate a localFolder by id.
  • Incorrect (and ancient code) would accidentally clobber the wrong attachment (and only one, rather than all) when deleting a message.
