115537 - Inbox shows up alphabetically in folder list

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 115071

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Andrew Treloar]

When using nightly builds later than December 10, 2001, the Inbox folder is
listed in the folder list alphabetically, rather than at the top of the folder
list. This is both when subscribing to the folder and when using the mail client.

Confirmed using Fizizlla/2001121405, but the folder name order doesn't seem quite 
alphabetical.

For example, I see, "Trash," "Drafts," "INBOX," "Jobs," "Mac," etc., which is certainly not 
alphabetical. I can't determine any logic behind such an ordering.

[[not reading bugmail]]

it depends on the default you set.. its not suppose to necessarily be at the top
of the list.. 

Greg,

you see a different issue, where the folders for imap/pop3/news or even local
folders are listed in order of subscription or in order the server is listed in.
mozilla doesn't currently alphabatize them.

Neither of the two above comments really relate to what I reported.  Let 
me try to explain it a bit better.

In Netscape 4.X and Mozilla (until recently!), the order of the folders for my 
IMAP server was:
o    Inbox
o    Sent (because I keep sent mail on the server)
o    Trash
then all the other folders in alpha order.

What I am commenting on is that with the recent  nightly builds, the Inbox 
no longer appears at the top but is sorted with the folders that start with I. 
It has never worked like this before and is quite off-putting.

This one appears to be the same as bug 115071

It does look the same, so I'm marking as a dup.
