This patch does not clog the main location dropdown; it adds one entry "Email service providing MAP access". After the user has entered his email-address the patch check if this address is matching one of the known IMAP service providers. If true then server_address, use_imaps are set and the corresponding widgets are deactivated.
Does this proposal violates some terms of service with Google? Yes - big problem. See http://www.google.com/accounts/TOS Section 5.3 You agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Google, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Google. You specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services through any automated means (including use of scripts or web crawlers) and shall ensure that you comply with the instructions set out in any robots.txt file present on the Services. I think that Deja-Dup should not entice its users to violate some terms of service with Google (and to face disabled accounts). I suggest to rewrite the imap support to present just a plain form with a warning against not to violate some terms of service. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~aladin/deja-dup/imap-support/+merge/46248 Your team Déjà Dup Maintainers is requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~aladin/deja-dup/imap-support into lp:deja-dup. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~deja-dup-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~deja-dup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
