Replace duplicate "Disable [mail account]" button with account ordering buttons
Last modified: 2013-09-13 00:46:42 UTC
The list of mail accounts in the settings dialog box places a checkbox to enable/disable each account in turn. Additionally, there is a toggle button to the right of the list (aren't those something the HIG recommends against?) that has the exact same functionality. In light of this duplicate interface elements, I'd propose to remove the button to the right. At the same time, I think it would be nice to add reorder buttons ("move up"/"move down") for selected accounts. This is a request I've seen elsewhere, but I don't remember seeing a reply as to whether or not this was something that would be implemented. The column of buttons seems to me a perfect place to add this functionality.
still valid in version 2.1.6. also, the toggle button on the right misses a mnemonic. one cannot disable an account in the list (=with the checkbox) by keyboard (only workaround: hitting tab until focus arrives on the toggle button), so this is also an accessibility/keynav issue.
