---- Reported by jim@yorba.org 2012-06-25 22:07:00 -0700 ---- Original Redmine bug id: 5455 Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5455 Searchable id: yorba-bug-5455 Original author: Jim Nelson Original description: The drop-down menus shouldn't list the Outbox as a destination. We should decide how to list the special folders ([Gmail]/Spam, [Gmail]/Drafts, etc.) It makes sense to list them as destinations, but perhaps could be listed at the beginning of the menu, much as they are in the sidebar. Related issues: related to geary - 7190: $GearyOutbox$ $GearySearchFolder$ appear in move/copy dro... (Fixed) ---- Additional Comments From geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2013-09-30 19:08:00 -0700 ---- ### History #### #1 Updated by Adam Dingle over 1 year ago Listing them at the beginning sounds reasonable. It would be nice to have the same order in the menus as in the sidebar. #### #2 Updated by Jim Nelson about 1 year ago * **Target version** deleted (<strike>_0.2_</strike>) #### #3 Updated by Jim Nelson 10 months ago * **Target version** set to _0.3.0_ #### #4 Updated by Jim Nelson 9 months ago * **Target version** changed from _0.3.0_ to _0.4.0_ #### #5 Updated by Jim Nelson 6 months ago * **Target version** changed from _0.4.0_ to _0.5.0_ #### #6 Updated by Adam Dingle 5 months ago The drop-down menus currently include these items: $GearyOutbox$ $GearySearchFolder$ This doesn't seem right. This bug is slated for 0.5 but can't we fix this for 0.4 somehow, even if it means simply blacklisting the above entries from the menus? #### #7 Updated by Eric Gregory 5 months ago Adam, that's an unrelated bug (and a regression!) I filed a new ticket here: #7190 #### #8 Updated by Adam Dingle 5 months ago Oh! Thanks for the quick response and new ticket. #### #9 Updated by Jim Nelson about 1 month ago * **Subject** changed from _Outbox and [Gmail] listed in Move to... / Label as... drop-down menus_ to _Properly list special folders in Move to... / Label as... drop-down menus_ #### #10 Updated by Jim Nelson about 1 month ago Another problem is that the server's folder names appear in this list, not Geary's special folder names, meaning that on Outlook.com (for example) instead of "Sent Mail" users see "Sent", and instead of "Trash" they see "Deleted". --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 20:17 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 5455 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5455 Unknown milestone "unknown in product geary.

Surprisingly, I noticed this problem only now (after 2 years I use geary regularly) and just because I saw the not translated folder name. It would be nice if the dropdown list would take into account the folder/tag the selected message is located, in order to exclude it from the list.
This seems to have been fixed at some point, maybe when we converted to using Popovers?
What has been fixed exactly? I would say only this: - the Outbox is not listed anymore However other problems reported here are not fixed: - in Gmail account I still see [Gmail]>Spam and the like in both label and folder lists - if your locale is different from english, you'll notice that special folders are listed in english instead of localized names; also I have two folders that are listed either in english and in italian, these italian folders show up also below the labels in the sidebar, but they shouldn't (I had this problem some time ago and it was fixed, so looks like a regression?) bug #714106 is related
About [Gmail], I just found Bug #712902 - Don't show childless [Gmail] in Folders list. I guess that as soon as it's fixed in the folders list it will be fixed in the Move to menu as well, right? (In reply to Federico Bruni from comment #3) > - if your locale is different from english, you'll notice that special > folders are listed in english instead of localized names; also I have two > folders that are listed either in english and in italian, these italian > folders show up also below the labels in the sidebar, but they shouldn't (I > had this problem some time ago and it was fixed, so looks like a regression?) > Forget my last sentences. I've checked my webmail and I see that, for some reasons (I cannot remember), I have two extra custom folders (i.e. not set by the server) in italian - Archivio (Archive) and Inviata (Sent). I've now deleted them and let only the default ones. Everything works fine now. So there's one open issue left specific of the Move to menu: special folders appear in english instead of localized language. I cannot find an open issue for this, but I remember it was reported. I guess it's basically what Jim wrote above: > Another problem is that the server's folder names appear in this list, not > Geary's special folder names I have two different dovecot accounts, hosted on different servers, but both use Roundcube as webmail. In the Settings>Folders you see the special folders: some cannot be unchecked, as they are defined by the server. Even if their name is localized, the server folder name is actually in english. But I can also add custom special folders, which I can name as I wish. So this explains why for my account 2 I have this list in Move to menu: Archivio, Drafts, INBOX, Junk, Sent, Trash Archivio was the folder created by me; the others are set by server. In my account 1 there's also the Archive folder set by the server, so it's all english: Archive, Drafts, INBOX, Sent, Spam, Trash Mike, should I open a new ticket for this? Or change it to new and update the title?
Ah, I don't use GMail regularly so I didn't see that. Bug 712902 may or may not fix [GMail] appearing, but I'm also considering removing the special mailboxes from these lists in favour of having high-level actions for them (i.e. Buttons on the toolbar) per Bug 789078. I'll reopen this for the moment so the issue doesn't get lost.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
