Haven't checked Linux yet

Overview: When a generic folder is selected, its context menu should match the 
spec which currently shows:

Open in New Window
New Subfolder
Subscribe
Rename Folder
Delete Folder
--------------------
Search Messages
-------------------
Folder Properties

The following changes should be made:

1. Add
a. "Subscribe" after "New Subfolder"

2. Rename
a. "Remove Folder" should be "Delete Folder"

3. Move
a. "New Subfolder" should appear after "Open in New Window"
b. "Rename" folder after "Subscribe"

4. Enable
a. Delete Folder
b. Folder Properties (Depends on bug# 10877 and bug# 32714)

Reassigning to timeless.

per mail triage:  remove nsbeta3 nomination and move to future milestone.  For
the short term, we will combine items here into three bugs (in 3pane) to address
for nsbetat3:  1. delete, change text, move menuitems;  2. enable/disable and
text changes on context (dynamic);  3.  accelerator keys to work (ie. what is
shown in the menus actually does something)

When this bug gets revisited after the first release, we'll need to see what
items remaining that need to be addressed.

my mistake.  Correcting milestone back to previous one set.  Netscape6 doesn't 
need this by nsbeta3 so leaving the nsbeta3 nomination off.  This can be fixed 
at any time designated by timeless for Mozilla.

How about "Compact this Folder" also?

Comment 6

[Ninoschka Baca]

Context menus should list items that are commonly used. The Main Menu UI spec's
Context Menu section does not list "Compact this Folder" as an option. I don't
think this is an option that is commonly used.

that's a myth.

some features are never available in the main menus.

The main menu has compact folders, which compacts _all_ folders.  But sometimes 
you only want to compact a single folder.  Since we don't have a Folder menu, 
we should have it on the context menu.

See bug 64753.  I'll add it to the context menu spec if folks agree.

FYI, the 3 Pane Mail "File" menu was supposed to have "Compact Folders" but 
currently has "Compact This Folder".

the only difference between the spec and this object's menu is the properties
item. all of the properties items just have
'Properties...' instead of '<object type> Properties...'

I don't think folders should contain a Subscribe option.

I agree with Neil; see bug 236667.

I believe this bug has long outlived it's usefulness... Changes (if any) would be made in individual bugs.
