User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20030530 Galeon/1.3.5 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20030530 Galeon/1.3.5 In Thunderbird, there are two ways to get to the preferences window: Edit -> Properties... and Tools -> Options. One of these should probably be removed as they are redundant. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
My build only has Tools / Options. There is no menu item under edit called 'Properties'.
What build are you using? I am using build 20030724.
Okay, I have more information on this bug. If you're in a folder it says "Edit->Folder Options". However, when you're in the 'account summary' then it says Options.
Edit -> Folder Properties... shows the Folder Properties dialog. Edit -> Properties... shows the Account Settings dialog. Neither are the Options dialog, but you could say that Edit -> Properties... does the same thing as Tools -> Account Settings...
My mistake: account options.
I still don't see Edit-> Properties in Thunderbird. If you're using 07/24, then that's a self-made build, and you probably shouldn't report bugs against it.
If you have the account name highlighted in the folder view pane, then there is an Edit | Properties. Clicking on that gets you to the exact same place as Tools | Account Settings, as pointed out by Stephen in comment #4. The Edit | Properties access point is therefore redundant.
triaging.

I suspect this incorrect labeling may be related to bug 249620.

I don't see this on Windows or Linux. I'm guessing this has been fixed by another bug in the intervening years.
