"On This Computer" account doesn't disappear if disabled

[marco.pallotta]

Binary package hint: evolution

If you disable (through Evolution Preferences) the account labeled on the account tree as "On This Computer", this last doesn't disappear from account tree even if you set another account as default.
However it seems anyway disabled as if you press send/receive button evolution doesn't ask for its password.

Tested with Jaunty and evolution 2.26.1

Thanks for the report Marco, to be clear, what you expect is if you disable your pop account the "On This Computer" thing and all the Trash, Sent, etc folder should be vanished from Evolution? If is not that, could you please make a more clear description of the issue, thanks.

Yes Pedro, if I disable "On This Computer" account I shouldn't see this last on the account windows (on the left side of evolution) as I can do with other defined accounts.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

i don't think that' something to good to do but i'm not a evolution developer to decide that, could you open an upstream bug about it at bugzilla.gnome.org? Thanks Marco.

Well Pedro, consider that it's not mandatory that "on this computer" account is the default one. So you can create for many reasons other accounts and you only want to display the default. For some reasons "on this computer" accounts cannot be renamed (bug #399167) and hidden.

I added a bug watch to the upstream bug I opened.

Last comment from upstream:
>>>
This has all been discussed already.
In short: It's still needed for Outbox. So it's not removable. Full stop.
If you're happier with WONTFIX I can reset this to WONTFIX. ;-)

Therefore closing the bug.
