[Kde-pim] MessageQueueJob sends email but returns error

[Shaheed Haque]

I agree with David.

There are several cases in my code where I perform an operation
knowing that it might or might not affect any items. At the moment,
there is no option but for me to test strings to see if the error
return is a harmless (for me) "no items affected" or something that is
an actual problem.

> This error text comes from SendJob::doEmitResult() (in kdepim-runtime/agents/maildispatcher/) when a StoreResultJob returns an error. This error comes from ItemFetchJob called in StoreResultJob::doStart(). The ItemFetchJob returns the error:

> 2) A more general problem is that Akonadi jobs don't return useful error codes, only error strings, so it isn't possible for applications to test whether they care about the errors. In this particular case, using sendmail, the fact that an Item hasn't been created in outbox doesn't really matter, but because KAlarm doesn't know which error has occurred, it has to inform the user who will then think that the mail hasn't been sent, when it actually has been. If Akonadi jobs could return unique error codes for each possible error, this would be really useful.
