"Option "Global Inbox" is no longer available for setting up movemail account." was the goal of bug 253519. David's plan was to disable Global Inbox for Movemail, but he forgot this one spot. So it is not a bug that the checkbox is no longer there. When I said "Yes, this would make sense", I meant filing a bug that wants Global Inbox support for Movemail makes sense. But there is more to do than just adding back the checkbox to the Account Wizard. I'm moving this bug from Thunderbird to MailNews because the Global Inbox code is shared.
Severity: normal → enhancement
Product: Thunderbird → MailNews
Summary: Option "Global Inbox" is no longer available for setting up movemail account. → Add Global Inbox support for Movemail accounts

Scott or David: What are the steps necessary to get global inbox support working for Movemail accounts? I don't mind working on this but I'm not very familiar with the implementation of the global inbox.

Phillip, please see bug 253519 - it's just a question of getting the account setup to set the prefs correctly. As I understand it, there's no backend work required, just front end work...

It is a major inconveniece, in fact a blocker for anyone wishing to use movemail, since New Mail Notification does not work for these accounts. It should be marked with the correct severity.

Scott, I agree with comment 6 -- this is really bug not enhancement. However, much more interesting is the question -- can you suggest a way how to configure using of the global inbox by any means (like editing prefs.js or something)? I tried to add appropriate defer_get_new_mail and deferred_to_account (copy of the ones from POP3 account), but it doesn't make any change. Can you help me please?
TB 2.0 does ask if you want to use the global inbox during the account setup, but does not set it up. Once the movemail account is created, there is no way to configure it. Is there something with the movemail accounts that make this difficult to implement? Does anybody have a work-around?

No workaround, I'm afraid. 1) This should be reset to "Mailnews Core" The same thing occurs in T-Bird, so it is likely in common code. 2) This is NOT an enhancement request. An "advertised" feature is not working.

Does this definitely make sense? Should there be checkbox? And if implemented, might there be problems? (mitigated by the ability to use unified Inbox?)

Considering movemail is similar to pop3 (you pull down msgs locally and then do whatever you want with them), I think this option should be possible. It should be a matter of exposing the prefs (also in the Account manager) and make the movemail backend honor them if it doesn't already. I can probably look at that (seems I already assigned it to myself in the past), but can't look at it due to always finding other higher priority bugs.

Oh, that was removed decades ago. It never should've been removed, because what aceman says makes sense. I preferred pre-tabs Thunderbird, and majority such changes have been annoying: I still wish I could just have one inbox (multiple movemail AND multiple POP3) which '"one' inbox' also means NO tabs opening EVER (sure, I disabled them, but they still open from various things)... got a bit off-topic now but I don't think wishes of users, to not have such changes forced, were addressed. So anyway, yes, please re-add the feature of global inbox for movemail (people I know who use IMAP would also like global inbox.)
