        the requirements of the
        <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-cdata">
          HTML CDATA type</a>. The value MUST NOT be
        encoded with HTML entities.</p>

        <p>For example, if the POST data should contain a key "less-than" with value
        "&lt;", and a key "percent" with value "%", this should be represented as
        two HTTP_Post_Data structures, ("less-than", "&lt;") and ("percent", "%"),
        resulting in a POST request whose request body is "less-than=&amp;lt;&amp;percent=%25".
        If a client passes this to a browser by writing it into an HTML form, it
        could do so by representing it as:</p>

        <pre>
        &lt;input type="hidden" name="less-than"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/input&gt;

          <p>This data can be used to generate a HTML file that will
            automatically load the URL with appropriate POST data, in which case
            the client MUST convert any characters that are special within HTML
            into HTML entities. Alternatively, it can be used in an API that will
            instruct the browser how to load the URL (like the Netscape Plug-in
            API), in which case the client MUST escape
            <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt">characters that are
              reserved in URLs</a>, if appropriate for that API.</p>

        This method creates and returns a URL and an optional POST data that
        allow opening the Inbox folder of a webmail account. This URL MAY
        contain tokens with a short lifetime, so clients SHOULD request a new

        <tp:rationale>
          We are not using properties here because the tokens are unsuitable
          for sharing between clients, and network round-trips may be required

    <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
      <p>An interface to support receiving notifications about a e-mail
        account associated with this connection.</p>

      <p>In protocols where this is possible, this interface also allows the
        connection manager to provide the necessary information for clients
        to open a web-based mail client without having to re-authenticate.</p>

      <p>To use this interface, a client MUST first subscribe by passing the
        name of this interface to the <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy"
          >Connection.AddClientInterest</tp:dbus-ref> method. The subscription
        mechanic aims at reducing network traffic and memory footprint in the
        situation where nobody is currently interesting in provided
        information. When done with this interface, clients SHOULD call
        <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy"
          >Connection.RemoveClientInterest</tp:dbus-ref> to allow the CM to
        release resources.</p>

      <p>Protocols have various different levels of Mail Notification support.
        To describe the level of support, the interface provides a property
        called <tp:member-ref>MailNotificationFlags</tp:member-ref>.
        Not all combinations are valid; protocols can be divided into four
        categories as follows.</p>

      <p>Connections to the most capable protocols, such as Google's XMPP Mail
        Notification extension, have the Supports_Unread_Mails flag (this
        implies that they must also have Supports_Unread_Mail_Count, but not
        Emits_Mails_Received). On these connections, clients
        requiring change notification MUST monitor the
        <tp:member-ref>UnreadMailsChanged</tp:member-ref> signal, and
        either recover the initial state from the
        <tp:member-ref>UnreadMails</tp:member-ref> property (if they require
        details other than the number of mails) or the
        <tp:member-ref>UnreadMailCount</tp:member-ref> property (if they
        are only interested in the number of unread mails). The
        <tp:member-ref>MailsReceived</tp:member-ref> signal is never emitted
        on these connections, so clients that will display a short-term
        notification for each new mail MUST do so in response to emission of
        the <tp:member-ref>UnreadMailsChanged</tp:member-ref> signal.</p>

      <p>The most common situation, seen in protocols like MSN and Yahoo, is
        that the number of unread mails is provided and kept up-to-date,
        and a separate notification is emitted with some details of each new
        mail. This is a combination of the following two features, and clients
        SHOULD implement one or both as appropriate for their requirements.</p>

      <p>On protocols that have the Emits_Mails_Received flag (which implies
        that they do not have Supports_Unread_Mails), the CM does not keep
        track of any mails; it simply emits a notification whenever new mail
        arrives. Those events may be used for short term display (like a
        notification popup) to inform the user. No protocol is known to support
        only this feature, but it is useful for integration with libraries that
        that do not implement tracking of the number of mails. Clients
        requiring these notifications MUST monitor the
        <tp:member-ref>MailsReceived</tp:member-ref> signal on any connections
        with this flag.</p>

      <p>On protocols that have the Supports_Unread_Mail_Count flag but not
        the Supports_Unread_Mails flag, clients cannot display complete
        details of unread email, but can display an up-to-date count of the
        <em>number</em> of unread mails. To do this, they must monitor the
        <tp:member-ref>UnreadMailsChanged</tp:member-ref> signal, and
        retrieve the initial state from the
        <tp:member-ref>UnreadMailCount</tp:member-ref> property.</p>

      <p>
        Orthogonal features described by the
        <tp:member-ref>MailNotificationFlags</tp:member-ref> property include the
        RequestSomethingURL methods, which are used to obtain URLs allowing
        clients to open a webmail client. Connections SHOULD support as many
        of these methods as possible.</p>
