Today it’s a great day for Igalia, for tinymail and for the free software in the whole. Today an Igalian made a commit to the tinymail repository, this commit wouldn’t be so important if it weren’t done by a girl.

Her name is Antia Puentes and after drawing several awesome class diagrams (see here and here) with all the main interfaces of tinymail, she sent today her first patch to the source code. In particular she developed a functional test that allows you to delete folders of a mail account. If you want to test if (it’s not currently upstream, but I think tomorrow it will be) it’s better to modify first the mail account used by the test, otherwise Philip will go after you until death :-). It’s as easy as modify some lines of the test/shared/account-store.c file that configures the mail account:

tny_account_set_proto (account, "imap");
tny_account_set_name (account, "imap2.tinymail.org");
tny_account_set_user (account, "tnytest");
tny_account_set_hostname (account, "imap2.tinymail.org");
tny_account_set_id (account, "tnytest@imap1.tinymail.org");

The important lines are the ones that set the hostname, the user, and the proto. Furthermore, you have to modify the function that gets the password at the beginning of the same file, per_account_get_pass_func. You only have to change the string returned by the else.

So Antia, welcome to the community, I hope that you will feel comfortable despite entering a men’s world, and I also help that you’ll contribute to the GNOME’s women invasion :-).
