(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[scottputterman]

Put special folders on top followed by alphabetical list of rest of folders.

Will this be for both POP and IMAP?

Comment 2

[scottputterman]

Presumably it would be for any type of mail server with special folders.  So,
yes.  Just like 4.5.

Comment 3

[scottputterman]

consider this a trade for getting the copy/move menus working right!  Actually,
I was having a hard time scrolling to my Inbox all of the time, so I made this
work.  I'll check it in when the tree opens. Reassigning to me.

[Alec Flett]

cool, thanks!

Comment 5

[scottputterman]

I checked this in.  Special folders now are at the top and the rest are
alphabetized.

Comment 6

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

Am I right in assuming that special fodlers will still
line up at the top when the names get translated into
different languages?

Comment 7

[scottputterman]

I hope so. Here's the question:  Do numbers sort correctly in other languages
(i.e. 0,1,2,3...9) if so, we should be fine.

Comment 8

[nhottanscp]

Numbers (in ascii) are sorted in the same order regardless of the language.
Non special folders should be sorted by application locale like subect field in
thread pane.
