Issue 252
394: Replace code change lost with move of DAmail MailService.java to
K-9. Eliminate the stopSelfs. Without the stopSelfs, the Service
remains active and the Android platform is far less likely to kill the
process, although not absolutely forbidden from doing so. Better will
be to implement the full BroadcastReceiver methodology referred to in
Issue 394, which would allow replacing the stopSelfs, which would make
K-9 a better good citizen.
252: Fix logic for raising and canceling notifications based on number
of new unread messages and total unread messages.

Handle untagged EXISTS messages at any time. Should increase
synchronization speed and accuracy.
Handle IMAP servers that send a NIL where a literal is normally.
Avoids failure to sync when folder contains certain messages.
Throw Exception if folder message count is less than 0, avoiding
accidentally emptying a folder.
Issue 192
Do not remove markers for deleted messages, even if the corresponding
remote message is not returned by the remote store. The remote
message may not be returned simply because the query did not encompass
it on this run. If the account's delete policy is set to "Do not
delete from server", or the delete hasn't succeeded before a folder
refresh, a message for which the deleted marker has been removed can
errorneously reappear.
This will lead to the local store eventually having a large number of
deleted message markers. In the long term, we'll need a way to manage
and possibly automatically remove them.
Merged from branch issue143 @ revision 426:
Complete replacement for SharedPreferences. Uses SQLite database
stored in application's databases folder.
Will load from legacy preferences if DB-backed preferences are empty.
Editor conforms to atomic commit contract.
Hardening of POP3 and SMTP communication:
SMTP: Decrement failure counter when no possible message send
occurred. This way, K-9 will only stop attempting to send messages
for which a possible successful send occurred, but K-9 could not
detect. Any message that is known to have completely failed to send
will be reattempted indefinitely.
POP3: Some reworking of Exception handling. Also, if it is not
possible to get a "message number" for the UID of the message that is
being deleted, conclude that the message has already been deleted on
the server. Mark this as a permanent error, so that it gets removed
from the pending actions queue.
MessagingController: Look for the permanentFailure flag on the
MessagingException, and if a pending action raised a permanent
failure, remove the pending action from the queue so that it will not
be re-attempted nor block later requests.
Significant hardening of the email sending process.
A given message in the Outbox is only attempted to be sent 5 times.
Once the threshold is reached, the message is flagged. asses through
the Outbox skip flagged messages. The message can be tried again by
manually unflagging. When any messages are flagged during a pass
through the Outbox, K-9 raises a notification with a fast flashing red
LED, alerting the user to the failure to send. A note is also placed
in the K9mail-errors.
The read timeout on SMTP connections has been changed to 300000ms (5
minutes)
The send attempt counter is kept in memory, not stored with the
message, so a phone or application restart will clear the counters,
but not the flagged state. As the intent of this revision is to avoid
runaway message sending, this is deemed to be acceptable for now.
The moving of messages from the Outbox to the Sent folder has been
changed to an atomic move.
Extra error checking has been added to the SMTP communication code.
The flashing LED may be excessive.
Provide preference for which folder is automatically expanded when
entering the Folder/Message list.
Can be set to -NONE-, so that no folder is automatically expanded.
Defaults to Inbox, which is like the default behavior of the core
Android Email.
Fails to move the automatically opened folder to the top of the
screen. This needs more work.
The already selected folder should be highlighted (or otherwise
indicated) in the ChooseFolder Activity. This needs more work.
