388822 - delete folder message should be more specific as to what is being deleted

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Mr. Moose]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

When deleting a folder via rightClick/delete, there is a dialog box that says, "Are you sure you want to move the selected folder into the Trash".  It should probably say "Are you sure you want to move folder XXXXXX into the Trash".

It's one extra step where a person can say, "Oops, I meant to delete YYYYYY and not XXXXXX".  Given that you can only select one folder at a time, therefore only delete a single folder, the dialog box wouldn't be overloaded to much information.

I know that moving to the trash doesn't automatically delete a folder but maybe the person didn't notice which folder actually got moved in there and emptied trash a few minutes later.  A minor issue but just an extra safeguard.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.rightClick/delete a folder
2.look at dialog box
3.
Actual Results:  
give generic delete dialog box

Expected Results:  
Expect a specific dialog box that tells what is being deleted.
