Group flair is not removed while removing a user from the group since the `before_save` callback methods are not triggered while using the `update_columns` method.
This PR makes several changes to the group SMTP email contents to make it look more like a support inbox message.
* Remove the context posts, they only add clutter to the email and replies
* Display email addresses of staged users instead of odd generated usernames
* Add a "please reply above this line" message to sent emails
Adds the last updated at and by SMTP/IMAP fields to the UI, we were already storing them in the DB. Also makes sure that `imap_mailbox_name` being changed makes the last_updated_at/by field update for IMAP.
This PR changes the `UserNotification` class to send outbound `user_private_message` using the group's SMTP settings, but only if:
* The first allowed_group on the topic has SMTP configured and enabled
* SiteSetting.enable_smtp is true
* The group does not have IMAP enabled, if this is enabled the `GroupSMTPMailer` handles things
The email is sent using the group's `email_username` as both the `from` and `reply-to` address, so when the user replies from their email it will go through the group's SMTP inbox, which needs to have email forwarding set up to send the message on to a location (such as a hosted site email address like meta@discoursemail.com) where it can be POSTed into discourse's handle_mail route.
Also includes a fix to `EmailReceiver#group_incoming_emails_regex` to include the `group.email_username` so the group does not get a staged user created and invited to the topic (which was a problem for IMAP), as well as updating `Group.find_by_email` to find using the `email_username` as well for inbound emails with that as the TO address.
#### Note
This is safe to merge without impacting anyone seriously. If people had SMTP enabled for a group they would have IMAP enabled too currently, and that is a very small amount of users because IMAP is an alpha product, and also because the UserNotification change has a guard to make sure it is not used if IMAP is enabled for the group. The existing IMAP tests work, and I tested this functionality by manually POSTing replies to the SMTP address into my local discourse.
There will probably be more work needed on this, but it needs to be tested further in a real hosted environment to continue.
This overhauls the user interface for the group email settings management, aiming to make it a lot easier to test the settings entered and confirm they are correct before proceeding. We do this by forcing the user to test the settings before they can be saved to the database. It also includes some quality of life improvements around setting up IMAP and SMTP for our first supported provider, GMail. This PR does not remove the old group email config, that will come in a subsequent PR. This is related to https://meta.discourse.org/t/imap-support-for-group-inboxes/160588 so read that if you would like more backstory.
### UI
Both site settings of `enable_imap` and `enable_smtp` must be true to test this. You must enable SMTP first to enable IMAP.
You can prefill the SMTP settings with GMail configuration. To proceed with saving these settings you must test them, which is handled by the EmailSettingsValidator.
If there is an issue with the configuration or credentials a meaningful error message should be shown.
IMAP settings must also be validated when IMAP is enabled, before saving.
When saving IMAP, we fetch the mailboxes for that account and populate them. This mailbox must be selected and saved for IMAP to work (the feature acts as though it is disabled until the mailbox is selected and saved):
### Database & Backend
This adds several columns to the Groups table. The purpose of this change is to make it much more explicit that SMTP/IMAP is enabled for a group, rather than relying on settings not being null. Also included is an UPDATE query to backfill these columns. These columns are automatically filled when updating the group.
For GMail, we now filter the mailboxes returned. This is so users cannot use a mailbox like Sent or Trash for syncing, which would generally be disastrous.
There is a new group endpoint for testing email settings. This may be useful in the future for other places in our UI, at which point it can be extracted to a more generic endpoint or module to be included.
Previously, if the upload_id was present, but the upload was missing, the entire site would give a server error.
We have no foreign keys on this relation, so we have to be able to cope with the situation where the upload_id is present, but the actual upload has been deleted.

Adds a new column/setting to groups, allow_unknown_sender_topic_replies, which is default false. When enabled, this scenario is allowed via IMAP:
* OP sends an email to the support email address which is synced to a group inbox via IMAP, creating a group topic
* Group user replies to the group topic
* An email notification is sent to the OP of the topic via GroupSMTPMailer
* The OP has several email accounts and the reply is sent to all of them, or they forward their reply to another email account
* The OP replies from a different email address than the OP (gloria@gmail.com instead of gloria@hey.com for example)
* The a new staged user is created, the new reply is accepted and added to the topic, and the staged user is added to the topic allowed users
Without allow_unknown_sender_topic_replies enabled the new reply creates an entirely new topic (because the email address it is sent from is not previously part of the topic email chain).
There is a site setting reply_by_email_enabled which when combined with reply_by_email_address creates a Reply-To header in emails in the format "test+%{reply_key}@test.com" along with a PostReplyKey record, so when replying Discourse knows where to route the reply.
However this conflicts with the IMAP implementation. Since we are sending the email for a group via SMTP and from their actual email account, we want all replys to go to that email account as well so the IMAP sync job can pick them up and put them in the correct place. So if the group has IMAP enabled and configured, then the reply-to header will be correct.
This PR also makes a further fix to 64b0b50 by using the correct recipient user for the PostReplyKey record. If the post user is used we encounter this error:
if destination.user_id != user.id && !forwarded_reply_key?(destination, user)
raise ReplyUserNotMatchingError, "post_reply_key.user_id => #{destination.user_id.inspect}, user.id => #{user.id.inspect}"
end
This is because the user above is found from the from_address, but the destination which is the PostReplyKey is made by the post.user, which will be different people.
Currently, if a group's visibility is set to "Group owners, members" then the mods can't view those group pages. The same rule is applied for members visibility setting too.
This reverts commit 7fc7090. And fixed the spec test fails.

Convert all IMAP logging to write to a database table for easier inspection. These logs are cleaned up daily if they are > 5 days old.
Logs can easily be watched in dev by setting DISCOURSE_DEV_LOG_LEVEL=\"debug\" and running tail -f development.log | grep IMAP
For sites that are configured to mute some or all categories and tags
for users by default, groups can now be configured to set members'
notification level to normal from the group manage UI.
* FEATURE: set notification levels when added to a group
This feature allows admins and group owners to define default
category and tag tracking levels that will be applied to user
preferences automatically at the time when users are added to the
group. Users are free to change those preferences afterwards.
When removed from a group, the user's notification preferences aren't
changed.
* Fixed an issue I introduced in the last PR where I am just archiving everything regardless of whether it is actually archived in Discourse man_facepalming
* Refactor group list_mailboxes IMAP code to use providers, add specs, and add provider code to get the correct prodivder
* DEV: Add framework for filtered plugin registers
Plugins often need to add values to a list, and we need to filter those lists at runtime to ignore values from disabled plugins. This commit provides a re-usable way to do that, which should make it easier to add new registers in future, and also reduce repeated code.
Follow-up commits will migrate existing registers to use this new system
* DEV: Migrate user and group custom field APIs to plugin registry
This gives us a consistent system for checking plugin enabled state, so we are repeating less logic. API changes are backwards compatible
This commit ensures that an error is thrown when a user fails to be
removed from a group instead of silently failing.
This means when using the api you will receive a 400 instead of a 200 if
there is a failure. The remove group endpoint allows the removal of
multiple users, this change means that if you try to delete 10 users,
but 1 of them fails you will receive a 400 instead of 200 even though
the other 9 were removed successfully. Rather than adding a bunch more
complexity I think this is more than adequate for most use cases.
FIX: raised a proper NotFound exception when filtering groups by username with invalid username.
FIX: properly filter the groups based on current user visibility when viewing another user's groups.
DEV: Guardian.can_see_group?(group) is now using Guardian.can_see_groups(groups) instead of duplicating the same code.
FIX: spec for groups_controller#index when group directory is disabled for logged in user.
FIX: groups_controller.sortable specs to actually test all sorting combinations.
DEV: s/response_body/body/g for slightly shorter spec code.
FIX: rewrote the "view another user's groups" specs to test all group_visibility and members_group_visibility combinations.
DEV: Various refactoring for cleaner and more consistent code.
I was playing with groups locally and saw this line. I suspect this method isn't needed at all because I don't see any reference to it anywhere in the code, and as far as I know ActiveRecord objects don't have an `id!` method so if this method is called dynamically somewhere it's most likely failing.
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
* Revert "Revert "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989) [Undo revert] (#8024)""
