Seems that in IMAP some strings are still not changed to localized strings (for example when getting new mail in status bar I've got INBOX instead of localized string), see screenshoot (this string should be changed to localized, bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57440 is already fixed).

Nominating for nsbeta1. It will be very confusing for users who are using a
localized build.

which part is the localized string for INBOX in the screenshot ?

"Odebrane wiadmosci" == INBOX ?

It looks like from the screen shot the status bar show
"INBOX Odebrane: Naglowek wiadmosci"
What it SHOULD be ?
Should it be "Odebrane: Naglowek wiadmosci"  ?

I really don't think this should be nsbeta1+. It looks we show English
information IN ADDITIOANL to the localized folder name. Will that confuse user ?

"Odebrane wiadmosci" == INBOX

String in status bar is from string:
imapMsgs.properties - 5036: %S Receiving: Message headers %lu of %lu

"Odbieranie" == Receiving
%S it is folder name

so it should be:
"Odebrane wiadomosci Odbieranie: Naglowek wiadomosci %lu z %lu"

Similar strings are: 5037 and 5045

So in general we are showing English information INSTEAD localized.
Frank, status bar only shows English folder names.
Renominating.

I think the folder name shows in the status bar not frequently happen.
E.g. 
getting headers of INBOX after connecting the server
select trash and downloading headers

I re-nominate for triage this again.

Seems that not only IMAP folder are not localized in status bar - the same thing happens for POP3. I think that folder names are not localized in all strings from localMsgs.properties and imapMsgs.properties.
