[Kde-pim] mails download from MS-Exchange server - airsyncDownload

[Shaheed Haque]

Hmm, so the fetching seems slow/broken...fetching 3 mails takes a
awful long time. and if you are wondering why you only have 3 mails
per folder, you'll need to uncomment this bit:

srhaque> svn diff
Index: mail/exmailresource.cpp
===================================================================
--- mail/exmailresource.cpp     (revision 1349246)
+++ mail/exmailresource.cpp     (working copy)
@@ -165,11 +165,11 @@

     fetchItems(collection, items, deletedItems);
     kError() << "new/changed items:" << items.size() << "deleted
items:" << deletedItems.size();
-//#if (DEBUG_NOTE_PROPERTIES)
+#if (DEBUG_NOTE_PROPERTIES)
     while (items.size() > 3) {
         items.removeLast();
     }
-//#endif
+#endif
     itemsRetrievedIncremental(items, deletedItems);
 }

Though there may not be much point before the fetching is fixed :-)
