535837 - Account column not populated

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 448568

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Thomas Svenson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I really like the new smart folders in TB3. The only problem is that it is not easy to see what account the individual emails have been delivered to.

I thought the Account column would fix that, but it is simply not populated for any of my inboxes.

I have tested with several individual folder of different type and it is not getting populated anywhere.

Location is more or less useless as it says Inbox for every email and thus can't be used as an identifier.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Simply enable the Account column for any folder and see how empty it is.
Actual Results:  
An empty column that takes up valuable space and thus useless.

Expected Results:  
The account name for the mailbox the individual email was delivered to.

I haven't found any fully workable workaround for this.

Recipient can of course be used, but it doesn't work well for mailing lists where the list address is in To.
