61490 - need better default pretty name for movemail accounts

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(MailNews Core :: Movemail, defect, P3)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

movemail accounts have "<userid> on movemail" as default pretty name, since we
don't create one when the account is created.

I'm thinking just "<userid>@localhost" or "movemail for <userid>" would be better.

comments?

"<userid> on movemail" looks just fine to me, since it's symmetric with the 
default names for other account types.

Default for other mail accounts is "Mail for <userid>". So "movemail for 
<userid>" is similar.

Comment 3

[Adam D. Moss]

Accepting.  As to the pretty-name, I really have no opinion!

Comment 4

cc robinf for wording

fyi, New mail accounts are now named <EmailAddressOfAcct> by default. (The "Mail 
for" part was making the names to long).

This is true for Movemail, too. So the current behaviour is consistent for all
account types and this bug should IMHO be marked WONTFIX.

This is no longer needed. See comment 8 for an explanation.
