Description

Probably in 1.8, Icedove will be advertized as the default email client. By then, what about adding a warning when starting Claws Mail about it’s future removal. The message could be:

<em>Claws Mail</em> will be removed in Tails 1.9 (2016-01-26).

If you have emails saved in <em>Claws Mail</em>, you should [migrate your data to <em>Icedove</em>](https://tails.boum.org/doc/anonymous_internet/claws_mail_to_icedove].

[Start <em>Claws Mail</em> anyway] [Exit]

Assigning to anonym who’s coordination all this. What do you think?

Hi,

I think it’s a good idea, but for that case I had also added the interactive part in the script asking if you want to backup the existing “Local Folders”.

Cheers!

I’m not sure to understand your proposal here. Do you this think we should preemptively propose as part of this warning the same backup action as the claws_to_icedove.sh script? Which means if there’s any “Local Folders” under .icedove?

If so, then I’m not sure it’s worth either duplicating this code or moving the backup action into this warning as I think it’s better introduced while doing the actual migration of data from Claws to Icedove using the script. And the script is good to have on the website (and not in the ISO) as discussed and documented already and also to have late fixes with more flexibility.

Hi,

sorry that i did not see your note earlier.

So, no actually, one should simply disregard my comment, and implement your proposal which contains a link to the relevant documentation.

In case that’s unclear (and sorry for not updating Redmine earlier), I’m not going to write this piece of code myself (that would be a bad idea). So reassign to u who’s coodinating all this. 1.8 is 6 days and we’re all super busy so maybe it’s time to drop this idea and mark this as rejected.

This was assigned to me on the day of the 1.8 freeze. Since 1.8 was already released, marking as rejected as per above.
