SpecialMailCollections Class Reference

from PyKDE4.akonadi import *

Inherits: Akonadi.SpecialCollections → QObject
Namespace: Akonadi

Detailed Description

Abstract class:
This class can be used as a base class for new classes, but can not be instantiated directly.

Interface to special mail collections such as inbox, outbox etc.

This class is the central interface to the local mail folders. These folders can either be in the default resource (stored in ~/.local/share/local-mail) or in any number of custom resources. Special collections of the following types are supported: inbox, outbox, sent-mail, trash, drafts, templates and spam.

To check whether a special mail collection is available, simply use the hasCollection() and hasDefaultCollection() methods. Available special mail collections are accessible through the collection() and defaultCollection() methods.

To create a special mail collection, use a SpecialMailCollectionsRequestJob. This will create the special mail collections you request and automatically register them with SpecialMailCollections, so that it now knows they are available.

This class monitors all special mail collections known to it, and removes it from the known list if they are deleted. Note that this class does not automatically rebuild the collections that disappeared.

The defaultCollectionsChanged() and collectionsChanged() signals are emitted when the special mail collections for a resource change (i.e. some became available or some become unavailable).

if( SpecialMailCollections.self()->hasDefaultCollection( SpecialMailCollections.Outbox ) ) {
const Collection col = SpecialMailCollections.self()->defaultCollection( SpecialMailCollections.Outbox );
// ...
} else {
// ... use SpecialMailCollectionsRequestJob to request the collection...
}
