I've updated the docs to match the current BMailComponent, documented
new functions, and cleaned up the MailComponent.h file to at least
somewhat match our coding style.
First in a series (there are 3 more old API docs on the Mail Kit in that
"Public API" folder.)
* Added missing const to some getter methods.
* Date() now tries to parse the date of the mail, and return it as
a time_t; you can still retrieve the actual string via
HeaderField("Date") if you have to.
* Mail now shows the time in the local time zone, and with the
current locale.
* The path will now be relativized before storing it.
* On load, the add-on will be tried to load from the user, then common
and finally system add-on directory.
* Not everything compiles; all protocols, and inbound filters do, though.
* Renamed a few classes to give a better idea what they are for; prefixed
public classes with the 'B' prefix.
* Moved ProtocolConfigView's classes into the BPrivate namespace.
* Moved BMailFilter into its own file.
* Added BMailFilter::DescriptiveName(). This is now used by the RuleFilter
in order to give a description of what it's doing (ie. no more dozens of
"Rule filter" entries in the preferences).
* Removed no longer used MailAddon.h.
* Renamed Addon to AddOn where found, since that is more consistent with the
rest of the API.
* Merged the former MailProtocol with the former MailProtocolThread; the
differentiation between those two was pretty messy.
* All configuration views touched so far are now using the layout kit.
* The RuleFilter is currently broken functionality wise; I have not yet decided
how to solve the stuff it uses (TriggerFileMove() does not exist anymore,
for example).
* BMailAddOnSettings (formerly known as AddonSettings) now directly subclass
BMessage; there are no Settings() and EditSettings() method anymore. The
class uses a copy of itself to determine whether or not it has been changed.
* Lots of cleanup.
Some changes to the API for notifications.
* Don't go through be_roster to send a notification, but use Notification->Send() instead.
* Rename App to Group to make the purpose clearer
And some changes to the notification code itself:
* Use the Notification class as the way to convey informations about a notification. Allows easier extension of this class
* Code cleanup
* Use of the layout kit for the notify window
Unfortunately, the latter part clashes quite a bit with the changes I already did to the notification window, so it's now quite broken. Working on that next, but I wanted to separate that work from the patch ...

default_mail{_in|_out}_directory() methods in the BPrivate namespace.
* Used these methods in the inbound/outbound protocols.
* Moved WriteMessageFile() into the BPrivate namespace as well, and put its
prototype into a new header MailPrivate.h along with the new directory
getters.
* Removed the automatic copy to the sent directory again, and only have one
directory for incoming mail. Incidentally, this fixed#7509, although the
underlying filter restriction remains.
* Automatic whitespace cleanups, some style cleanups. Sorry for the mess.

alternating account names (once AccountName_1 the other time just
AccountName).
Sort accounts by creation time. This fix the order in mail
preferences.

Work in progress: fetch next partial downloaded message.

Accounts are now stored in a separate file. Previously they where somehow magically assembled from the chain ids. Now its possible to remove a account temporary by removing the account file form the account folder.
Each account could have an inbound protocol, an outbound protocol and some filters.
Mails are now associated with an account and not with a chain. This required to replace the chain id attribute by an account attribute.
Replace BMailFilter and BMailChain by a less general approach. Basically the chain had a list of filters and call the ProcessMailMessage for each filter. This made it sometime difficult to understand what is going on, e.g. sometimes a filter used information gathered by another filters. The new MailProtocol and MailFilter classes are calling more dedicated hook functions, e.g. HeaderFetched or MessageReadyToSend.
As before all MailProtocol's (plus their filters) are running in their own thread.
Cleaned up the error and status window a bit. Abstracted the interface to these windows. Should be easy to write a BNotification api back-end now.
Parsing of mail headers is much faster now. Fetching the headers of a large mailbox takes ~min and not ~hour now! Initial checkout time is in the same order like Opera. The problem was the massive use of fgets in parse_header (mail_util.cpp) now the complete header is read in one go. Furthermore, only interesting fields are extracted.
Remove some unused files, BeOS relicts... Feel free to translate the mail server and remove the own language system (headers/private/mail/MDRLanguage.h).
Sorry for the remaining old (and new) coding style issues, sometime just ignore them, to many :(
