IMAP Shared: Should list but greyout other user's folders on the COPY menu item 
for read privilege folders

Setup Info:
1) Used two IMAP accounts (Act1 & Act2)
2) Set Read privilege folder in Act1 (for Act2)

Steps:
1) Login to Act2.
2) After subscribe that read privilege folder, you should allow to view all the 
messages in that read privilege folder which setup from Act1
3) Select messages of Act2 Inbox (or other Act2 personal Folders)
4) Actual Results: Select Message|Copy menu|servername|Shared 
Folder|Users|Act1|..(the readprivilegefolder should list here and greyout, but 
there are no folders list here at all...) -> will attach a screenshot for this.

Expected results: The read privilege folder should be listed and greyout from 
this COPY menu item.

why? If the user can't copy to them, what's the point of putting them in the
copy menu? If they were in the copy menu, someone would file a bug that they
shouldn't be in the copy menu... I'm pretty sure this is by design, though I
didn't write the code.

This looks like it's the way the menu code is supposed to work. Marking invalid.
It doesn't prevent you from filing any messages; it just removes menu items that
will never work.

Well. Then how can you explain about the following screen shot that I got for 
new folder dialog since it did disable/greyout the read privilege folder when I 
tried to create subfolder from this read privilege folder....can you explain why 
the code can be implementing on new folder dialog but cannot implementing on 
COPY menu?

yes, the criteria used for building up the new folder menu list is different
than the criteria used for building up the move/copy menu. Think about it this
way: whether or not you can create a sub-folder of a folder is different from
whether you can move/copy messages into that folder. The code that goes through
all the folders figuring out which ones to add to a menu uses a filter function,
and filters out folders that don't match the criteria for the menu being
created. Does that make sense?
