498659 - My [Gmail] All Mail and Archive folders both have the Archive folder icon, only All Mail should have the icon

Attachment: Grab showing the issue

I have to Archive Icons :
 * Archive folder
 * [Gmail All]

I think one should be enough.

none of those folders should be showing up in smart folders mode, and they don't for me. Are you in smart folders mode? It's hard to tell since that's not your whole folder pane...that little grab only shows one archives folder, actually...

Sorry I have

Ludovic@..... (imap gmail)
 inbox
 Archive
 Folder 1
 Folder XXX
 [Gmail]
   Drafts
   Sent Mails
   All Mail
   Spam
   Trash

Both Archive and All mail have the same Archive Icon. I'm in all folder mode.

Ludo I'm guessing you store Archived mail in the Archive folder and not in All Mail?

(I think I changed it to All Mail for Gmail so I only have the All Mail folder)

Yes exactly.

ah, ok - GMail really wants you to use the All Mail folder as the archive folder, so we set that up for the user. I suspect you used a nightly version of TB that created a special archive folder on the gmail server and then ran a newer version that knows to use the All Mail folder. What does account settings for that account say? We really should be removing the archive flag from the archive folder, unless the pref really says to use the archive folder.

I have :
mail.identity.id1.archive_folder;imap://[e-mail]/Archives
mail.identity.id2.archive_folder;imap://[e-mail]/Archives
mail.identity.id5.archive_folder;imap://[e-mail]/Archives

mail.account.account2.identities;id1,id2
mail.account.account6.identities;id5

I think account6 is one of my usenet accounts while 2 is my main mail one.
