166601 - RFE: IMAP: order folders according to namespace order, not alphabetically.

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, enhancement)

Description

[Aleksey Nogin]

If I specify Personal namespace to be 
"INBOX.z.", "INBOX.y.", "INBOX.x."
Mozilla will still display x before y before z. It would be nice if Mozilla kept
the specification order. (e.g. z before y before x in my example).

P.S. Mozilla 1.1 on Red Hat Linux 7.3

0.Get namespace specification according user's like.
1.Implement nsMsgFolder::SetSortOrder method to set display order.
2.Then we can get folders according its namespace prefix,and using SetSortOrder
to display them.

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.
