Description Patrick OCallaghan 2002-11-23 22:31:27 UTC
Package: Evolution
Priority: Cosmetic
Version: 1.2.0
Synopsis: Folder ordering should not always be lexicographical
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
Description of Problem:
The INBOX folder is ordered lexicographically with all the other
folders. In a large folder set
this makes it difficult to locate rapidly. Although there is the
alternative of using the Shortcut
bar, this takes up screen real-estate and is unattractive for those who
only (or mainly) use
Evo for mail.

Alternatives (in order of desirability):

1) Allow the user to order the folders according to taste, not just
lexically.
2) Allow folders to be colour-coded
3) Set certain folders apart at the top of the list e.g. INBOX, Sent,
Drafts as happens with
a number of other mailers.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. 
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:


Expected Results:


How often does this happen?

INBOX is top most always, using recent versions. At least this part is fixed
already.
Comment 10 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-02-06 16:25:09 UTC
Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. :)

Actually a feature request for user defined manual ordering of mail folders rather than alphabetically already is filed. This is a duplicate ob bug 202257.

Please feel free to report any further issue you find.
