this PR allows setting a "private tag" for a profile, see
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/3373 for a possible
UI.
currently, the core does not do anything with the tag (so, it could also
be a ui.-config option), however, this may change in the future - it
might bet synced, and become also otherwise useful in core. also, having
this in core is better documentation-wise, as otherwise each UI easily
does its own things :)
Why:
- With IMAP APPEND we can upload messages directly to the DeltaChat folder (for non-chatmail
accounts).
- We can set the `\Seen` flag immediately so that if the user has other MUA, it doesn't alert about
a new message if it's just a sync message (there were several such reports on the support
forum). Though this also isn't useful for chatmail.
- We don't need SMTP envelope and overall remove some overhead on processing sync messages.
This change introduces new config options
`proxy_enabled` and `proxy_url`
that replace `socks5_*`.
Tested with deltachat-repl
by starting it with
`cargo run --locked -p deltachat-repl -- deltachat-db` and running
```
> set proxy_enabled 1
> set proxy_url ss://...
> setqr dcaccount:https://chatmail.example.org/new
> configure
```
And also:
- Make it `pub(crate)`.
- Use it in `should_request_mdns()` as using `config_exists()` there isn't correct because the
latter doesn't look at environment.
I.e. treat `DeleteServerAfter == None` as "delete at once". But when a backup is exported, set
`DeleteServerAfter` to 0 so that the server decides when to delete messages, in order not to break
the multi-device case. Even if a backup is not aimed for deploying more devices, `DeleteServerAfter`
must be set to 0, otherwise the backup is half-useful because after a restoration the user wouldn't
see new messages deleted by the device after the backup was done. But if the user explicitly set
`DeleteServerAfter`, don't change it when exporting a backup. Anyway even for non-chatmail case the
app should warn the user before a backup export if they have `DeleteServerAfter` enabled.
Also do the same after a backup import. While this isn't reliable as we can crash in between, this
is a problem only for old backups, new backups already have `DeleteServerAfter` set if necessary.

- To avoid receiving undecryptable MDNs by bots and replying to them if the bot's key changes.
- MDNs from bots don't look useful in general, usually the user expects some reply from the bot, not
just that the message is read.
Recently there are many questions on the Delta Chat forum why some unexpected encrypted messages
appear in Inbox. Seems they are mainly sync messages, though that also obviously happens to
SecureJoin messages. Anyway, regardless of the `MvboxMove` setting, auto-generated outgoing messages
should be moved to the DeltaChat folder so as not to complicate co-using Delta Chat with other MUAs.
`Context::send_sync_msg()` mustn't be called from multiple tasks in parallel to avoid sending the
same sync items twice because sync items are removed from the db only after successful
sending. Let's guarantee this by calling `send_sync_msg()` only from the SMTP loop. Before
`send_sync_msg()` could be called in parallel from the SMTP loop and another task doing
e.g. `chat::sync()` which led to `test_multidevice_sync_chat` being flaky because of events
triggered by duplicated sync messages.
If currently there are no multi-device bots, let's disable sync messages for bots at all. Another
option is to auto-disable sync messages when `Config::Bot` is set, so sync messages can be reenabled
if needed. But let's leave this option for the future.
Probably sync messages generated for a not yet configured account are useless because there are no
other devices yet. And even if this is not true, we don't want to depend on the order of setting
`Config::SyncMsgs` and other keys. Also w/o this the Python tests don't work if we start syncing
`Config::MvboxMove` because they don't expect that sync messages are sent while configuring
accounts.
NB: We don't restart IO from the synchronisation code, so `MvboxMove` isn't effective immediately if
`ConfiguredMvboxFolder` is unset, but only after a reconnect to IMAP.
E.g. the multi-device synchronisation creates the "Saved Messages" chat as blocked, in this case the
chat icon wasn't updated before and the user avatar was displayed instead.
as discussed in several chats, this PR starts making it possible to use
Webxdc as integrations to the main app. In other word: selected parts of
the main app can be integrated as Webxdc, eg. Maps [^1]
this PR contains two parts:
- draft an Webxdc Integration API
- use the Webxdc Integration API to create a Maps Integration
to be clear: a Webxdc is not part of this PR. the PR is about marking a
Webxdc being used as a Map - and core then feeds the Webxdc with
location data. from the view of the Webxdc, the normal
`sendUpdate()`/`setUpdateListener()` is used.
things are still marked as "experimental", idea is to get that in to
allow @adbenitez and @nicodh to move forward on the integrations into
android and desktop, as well as improving the maps.xdc itself.
good news is that we currently can change the protocol between Webxdc
and core at any point :)
# Webxdc Integration API
see `dc_init_webxdc_integration()` in `deltachat.h` for overview and
documentation.
rust code is mostly in `webxdc/integration.rs` that is called by other
places as needed. current [user of the API is
deltachat-ios](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios/pull/1912),
android/desktop will probably follow.
the jsonrpc part is missing and can come in another PR when things are
settled and desktop is really starting [^2] (so we won't need to do all
iterations twice :) makes also sense, when this is done by someone
actually trying that out on desktop
while the API is prepared to allow other types of integrations (photo
editor, compose tools ...) internally, we currently ignore the type. if
that gets more crazy, we probably also need a dedicated table for the
integrations and not just a single param.
# Maps Integration
rust code is mostly in `webxdc/maps_integration.rs` that is called by
`webxdc/integration.rs` as needed.
EDIT: the idea of having a split here, is that
`webxdc/maps_integration.rs` really can focus on the json part, on the
communication with the .xdc, including tests
this PR is basic implementation, enabling to move forward on
integrations on iOS, but also on desktop and android.
the current implementation allows already the following:
- global and per-chat maps
- add and display POIs
- show positions and tracks of the last 24 hours
the current maps.xdc uses leaflet, and is in some regards better than
the current android/desktop implementations (much faster, show age of
positions, fade out positions, always show names of POIs, clearer UI).
however, we are also not bound to leaflet, it can be anything
> [**screenshots of the current
state**](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios/pull/1912)
> 👆
to move forward faster and to keep this PR small, the following will go
to a subsequent PR:
- consider allowing webxdc to use a different timewindow for the
location
- delete POIs
- jsonrpc
[^1]: maps are a good example as anyways barely native (see android
app), did cause a lot of pain on many levels in the past (technically,
bureaucratically), and have a comparable simple api
[^2]: only going for jsonrpc would only make sense if large parts of
android/ios would use jsonrpc, we're not there

Use sync messages for that as it is done for e.g. Config::Displayname. Maybe we need to remove
self-status synchronisation via usual messages then, but let's think of it a bit.

Restart the IO scheduler if needed to make the new config value effective (for `MvboxMove,
OnlyFetchMvbox, SentboxWatch` currently). Also add `set_config_internal()` which doesn't affect
running the IO scheduler. The reason is that `Scheduler::start()` itself calls `set_config()`,
although not for the mentioned keys, but still, and also Rust complains about recursive async calls.
Currently when a user sets up another device by logging in, a new key is created. If a message is
sent from either device outside, it cannot be decrypted by the other device.
The message is replaced with square bracket error like this:
```
<string name="systemmsg_cannot_decrypt">This message cannot be decrypted.\n\n• It might already help to simply reply to this message and ask the sender to send the message again.\n\n• If you just re-installed Delta Chat then it is best if you re-setup Delta Chat now and choose "Add as second device" or import a backup.</string>
```
(taken from Android repo `res/values/strings.xml`)
If the message is outgoing, it does not help to "simply reply to this message". Instead, we should
add a translatable device message of a special type so UI can link to the FAQ entry about second
device. But let's limit such notifications to 1 per day. And as for the undecryptable message
itself, let it go to Trash if it can't be assigned to a chat by its references.
Before it was emitted only on the source device and `test_sync()` didn't catch the bug because of
the interference of the previous call to `set_config_bool()`. Now there's a separate test that does
its job well.
Add an event for a case if a multi-device synced config value changed. Maybe the app needs to
refresh smth on such an event. For uniformity it is emitted on the source device too. The value is
omitted, otherwise it would be logged which might not be good for privacy.
We already synchronise status/footer when we see a self-sent message with a Chat-Version
header. Would be nice to do the same for display name.
But let's do it the same way as for `Config::{MdnsEnabled,ShowEmails}`. Otherwise, if we sync the
display name using the "From" header, smth like `Param::StatusTimestamp` is needed then to reject
outdated display names. Also this timestamp needs to be updated when `Config::Displayname` is set
locally. Also this wouldn't work if system time isn't synchronised on devices. Also using multiple
approaches to sync different config values would lead to more code and bugs while having almost no
value -- using "From" only saves some bytes and allows to sync some things w/o the synchronisation
itself to be enabled. But the latter also can be a downside -- if it's usual synchonisation, you can
(potentially) disable it and share the same email account across people in some organisation
allowing them to have different display names. With using "From" for synchronisation such a
capability definitely requires a new config option.
Motivation: Syncing these options will improve UX in very most cases and should be done. Other
candidates are less clear or are advanced options, we can reconsider that at some point later.
Approach:
- Sync options one-by-one when the corresponding option is set (even if to the same value).
- Don't sync when an option is reset to a default as defaults may differ across client versions.
- Check on both sides that the option should be synced so that if there are different client
versions, the synchronisation of the option is either done or not done in both directions.
Moreover, receivers of a config value need to check if a key can be synced because some settings
(e.g. Avatar path) could otherwise lead to exfiltration of files from a receiver's device if we
assume an attacker to have control of a device in a multi-device setting or if multiple users are
sharing an account.
- Don't sync `SyncMsgs` itself.
Before, it was shown by UI when the chat is empty, however, in case of
verified groups, this is never the case any longer as the 'e2ee now
guaranteed' is always added.
And execute sync messages only if `Config::SyncMsgs` is enabled. Earlier executing was always
enabled, the messages are force-encrypted anyway. But for users it's probably more clear whether a
device is synchronised or not.
