63783 - Context menus for buttons in toolbar

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

Currently there no context menus (when your rightclick) for any of the buttons 
in the toolbar.
Right-clicking on the "Get Msg" could show:
- Get messages for gemal at netscape.net
- Get messages for all accounts

Right-clicking on the "New Msg" could show:
- Compose message using Henrik Gemal as sender
- Compose message using Thomas Gemal as sender

Right-clicking on the "Delete" could show:
- Delete to Trash
- Delete right away (like shift-delete)

etc...etc...

Good context menus are a way to speed up usage of an application.

Why not use the menubuttons for that. There are other bugs about menubuttons for
the mailnews component, look out for them.

there is now a arrow dropdown. But would still like context menus. For compose,
delete, etc.. as described.

There is now a right-click menu, but it applies to the new "toolbar customization" using Toolkit:

  ✓ Mail toolbar
  ----------------------------
    Settings for this toolbar ▶
      • Icons
        Icons and Text
        Text
      ---------------------------
      ✓ Use small icons
        (Show text beside icons)
      ---------------------------
      (✓ Use default settings)
  -----------------------------
    Customize...

The drop-down mentioned in comment #3 is still there. I suggest WONTFIX.
