Show folder size in Properties: bug 64754
Show folder filename in Properties: bug 180546

I really like the idea of putting Compact Folder Now on the Properties dialog; 
that would make a lot more sense than having the separate Compact This Folder 
menu item.

"Copy folder location" is waste of valuable context menu space.
It should be moved to folder property, with naming/functionality change.

CC:ing to David, because we need to know your thoughts on "what folder property
should be".

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

Query tag for this change: mass-UNCONFIRM-20090614

Many of initial requests are already implemented by many improvements of "Folder Properties" panel design/implementation.
For example(IMAP folder's Tabs in Folder Properties):
  General Information / Retention Policy / Offline / Sharing / Quota
However, some of them are not implemented yet. Example.
  Folder attribute such as mail count, size, ...
  "Compact Now" like button ("Rebuild Index" is already placed in General tab)

"Changing back to NEW" is appropriate?
Or we are better to open new bug for remaining requests?
Because enhancement contains "UI enhancement/change", this bug's Product is set to SeaMonkey. But it's commonly applicable to both Thunderbird and SeaMonkey. Product=MailNews Core is better?
