354413 - feature request: expanded information on the status line to incude accounts and more information

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 66860

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Boris]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/releases/1.5.0.7.html

The status bar could display additional information as it does various types of processing.  One thing that would be good is to display the account currently being processed during a receive action.  Right now all that shows is which message of all messages for an account is currently being retrieved, however no information about which account is being retrieved is shown.  A message like: "Receiving message 1 of 44 in account work" would be useful.

I'm sure that I will think of other information that would be useful to show on the status bar and will add them here unless I should start a new report for each.  Tips on proper etiquette on this would be appreciated.

Reproducible: Always
