45395 - Sent & Drafts folders not displayed as "special folders" at the top of folder tree

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Karen Huang]

Used 07-13-08-M17 commercial build

Sent & Draft folders folders should display on the top of other folders for new 
profile.

1) Login to an IMAP Mail account.
2) Actual Results: Notice that only Inbox & Trash folders are displaying on the 
top of the other folders, Sent & Draft folders are not displaying on the top of 
the other folders for new profile.

Expected results: Sent & Draft folders should display on the top of other 
folders for new profile.

Addtional Info: It seems that this problem is not occurring for a migrated 
profile, but is only occurring for a new profile even I set the copies & Folders 
of the account setting appropriately.

so, sent and drafts aren't recognized as "special folders" then.  They are 
probably sorted alphabetically with the other folders

I just tried this in today's build.  When I create a new profile and then create 
an imap account, the sent, drafts, and templates are pointing to Local Folders.  
Those are sorted correctly.  They shouldn't be sorted correctly in the Imap 
account because they aren't special folders.

Then when I change them to point at the imap folders they do not change to 
special folders in the ui immediately.  But, the next time I start up they do.

Since it seems to be doing the right thing to me except for the one problem I 
mentioned, I'm going to move to the future milestone.

So, so you think we still will release Netscape6 with above problem you 
mentioned? Any bug for tracking above problem? (at least I think that this 
problem should disappear for RTM...)
