1830004 - The display of the quota in the status bar no longer works

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Toolbars and Tabs, defect)

Description

[adrien.rybarczyk]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/111.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click on a mail folder (for example the inbox).

Actual results:

Previously if the quota exceeded the value of mail.quota.mainwindow_threshold.show, the quota bar was displayed.
In addition, we always saw the number of mail in the folder.

Expected results:

Recover the display of these items.

If we use the development tool and call UpdateStatusMessageCounts(GetSelectedMsgFolders()[0]) for mails and UpdateStatusQuota(GetSelectedMsgFolders()[0]) for quota; the information is back.

There must be a problem with the function that is supposed to call and update its elements. This seems to be _updateContextDisplay of folderDisplay.js

This bug is a bug in Beta.

folderDisplay.js - the file with the caller - is in zombie mode. See https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/05cb2d82a704dd5996636f7559c858f216aad485/mail/base/content/folderDisplay.js#7

I can take a look.

The total count of messages is being reimplemented in bug 1817917, and the size in bug 1817918.
Both are gonna be inline the folder pane and not in the status bar, we're removing it from there.

Previously if the quota exceeded the value of mail.quota.mainwindow_threshold.show, the quota bar was displayed.

I wasn't aware of this feature.
How can I simulate it?

Also this should appear as an inline warning and not in the status bar.

Okay, thanks for the information.

To display the quota, there are 3 preferences (mail.quota.mainwindow_threshold.show, mail.quota.mainwindow_threshold.warning, mail.quota.mainwindow_threshold.critical).

You just have to set the preference mail.quota.mainwindow_threshold.show to 0, to always have the quota displayed in the status bar.

It allows you to have the information from folder Properties -> Quota constantly without having to look at it from time to time.

For testing, Gmail is one of the servers that shows quota.
