Details
After you encounter a problem with copying your mail to the Sent folder you are presented with an error saying: "Your Send operation was successful, but copying the message to your Sent folder failed. Would you like to return to the compose window?" In this dialog there are the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons. But it should have been the "Yes" and "No" buttons. Build 2000060622 on Win2k

putterman, stealing this if you don't mind. i'm sure you have more important things on your plate than cosmetic stuff like this, anyways than cosmetic things like this. jglick - do you agree that this is what we should be doing here?

UI guidelines for both Mac OS and Windows say *not* to use `Yes' and `No' as button names, and for very good reason: `Your Send operation was successful, but copying the message to your Sent folder failed. Would you like to close the composition window anyway? ( Yes ) ( No )". Oops. For just changing the wording, I'd go for `... Would you like to close the message anyway?', with ( Return to Message ) in cancel position, and (( Close )) in OK position. But the ideal dialog would probably look roughly like this instead: +---------------------------------------------------------+ | {mailAppName} ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::| +---------------------------------------------------------+ | . Your message has been sent, but it could not | | /!\ be saved in your "{nameOfUser'sSentFCopiesFolder}" | | """ folder because {reason, defaulting to `an error | | occurred'}. | | | | Choose Retry to try saving the message again, or | | Cancel to return to the message. | | | | ( Cancel ) (( Retry )) | +---------------------------------------------------------+ So if the user really wants to close the message, they will return to the message and then close it in the usual fashion. That way this dialog can behave consistently with (and maybe even share some code with) the dialog which comes up when saving a message to the Drafts folder fails.

If we knew what we wanted here, I think hwaara wouldn't mind doing it?

sure
Agree that this dialog is just bad altogether. Text and available options should be changed. Can we get rid of this bug and fix 28211 instead? 28211 "On Send, fail to copy to Sent folder should let users retry, not return to compose window."

Marking wontfix, as jglick says, we should fix bug 28211 instead.
