Description Bruce A. Mallett 2002-04-11 15:19:44 UTC 
Description of Problem:

Setting up VFolder Sources in the VFolder Editor is difficult with a large
IMAP folder structure

Steps to reproduce the problem:
N/A - See Additional Information

Actual Results:
N/A - See Additional Information

Expected Results:
N/A - See Additional Information

How often does this happen? 
N/A - See Additional Information

Additional Information:

When adding sources to the "VFolder Sources" list, please consider allowing
a "Include all subfolders" option.  Companies such as ours, that have years
of filed email stored on an IMAP server, would find this a real time saver
since adding large numbers of folders to the VFolder source is both time
consuming an a task that requires constant updating as new subfolders are
added.

Would it be possible to use shift-click for a range of folders, and
ctrl-click for individual folder selections?

> please consider allowing a "Include all subfolders" option

Suggestion:
may be implemented as
"vfolder sources" option "specific folders with subfolders"
(as opposed to "specific folders only")

evo patch

for evolution;

This adds "include subfolders" checkbox beside each specific folder, thus users can toggle it for the functionality. Selection of a whole account is not possible, and I think it's not as that issue anyway.

It looks like this in the UI:

   On This Computer : Inbox        [x] include subfolders
   GMail : Inbox/GMail             [ ] include subfolders

aka I repeat the text "include subfolders" on each line.
I do that for two reasons:
a) showing table header steals one row from the folder list view
b) showing only checkboxes in the column seemed weird to me
