GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 269852
Label should be on "Message" menu when mail is selected
Last modified: 2018-07-30 11:51:13 UTC
When a mail is selected in the List View, Label should be available in the Actions menu. It is currently only available in the right menu context menu.
This will have to wait for 2.3 and the menu layout changes.
this bug is the same as the first item of bug 230978.
now there is a "message | mark as" submenu in 2.3.5.1. however, the labels aren't included yet. *PLEASE* add this within the 2.3.x series! currently labels really aren't easily accessible. dobey, even if you're annoyed that i'm adding you to some bugs as cc, i'm going to... add you. remove yourself or tell me on irc if you're pissed about it. :-)

punting
quoting srag from tonight's discussion: the menu is bonobo menu. the labels have colors in it, and the colors are fetched from gconf, and bonobo is initalised before the UI comes.. the *color* you see in the menu is really drawn with GdkWindow and GcContext stuff you wont have Evolution window realised when bonobo is loading and so drawing colors in bonobo menu is not at all possible in current arch. therefore punting - this will not happen until monday (UI freeze). sad. bug 241477 could be the same problem.
Bumping version to a stable release.
This should be fixable on the kill-bonobo branch.
This is available in the context menu of a message, but not in the "Message" menu from the main menu bar in 3.2.3.
Could this be looked at for 3.7? Obviously it's a bit more than just editing /ui/evolution-mail-reader.ui :(
Let it be Message->Mark As->Label->.... Created commit 2427b2b501 in evo master (3.29.90+)
...aaaaand it had been failing with a runtime warning in an EMailBrowser, the dedicated window where message content or its source can be shown. Created commit 46896a39e5 in evo master (3.29.90+)
Err, I found another glitch, I hope the last one: main menu's Message->Mark As->Label->... had been visible in all views, not only in the Mail view. Created commit 1a23ecf70f in evo master (3.29.90+)
