Previously DC_EVENT_ERROR_NETWORK events were emitted for each failed attempt during autoconfiguration, even if eventually configuration succeeded. Such error reports are not useful and often confusing, especially if they report failures to connect to domains that don't exist, such as imap.example.org when mail.example.org should be used. Now DC_EVENT_ERROR_NETWORK is only emitted when attempting to connect with existing IMAP and SMTP configuration already stored in the database. Configuration failure is still indicated by DC_EVENT_CONFIGURE_PROGRESS with data1 set to 0. Python tests from TestOnlineConfigurationFails group are changed to only wait for this event.

Development
# run tests
$ cargo test --all
# build c-ffi
$ cargo build -p deltachat_ffi --release
Debugging environment variables
-
DCC_IMAP_DEBUG: if set IMAP protocol commands and responses will be printed -
DCC_MIME_DEBUG: if set outgoing and incoming message will be printed -
RUST_LOG=info,async_imap=trace,async_smtp=trace: enable IMAP and SMTP tracing in addition to info messages.
Expensive tests
Some tests are expensive and marked with #[ignore], to run these
use the --ignored argument to the test binary (not to cargo itself):
$ cargo test -- --ignored
