(Fixed) ---- Additional Comments From geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2013-05-15 14:27:00 -0700 ---- ### History #### #1 Updated by Jim Nelson 8 months ago * **Target version** set to _0.4.0_ #### #2 Updated by Eric Gregory 8 months ago Gmail's web interface offers two options for spam: "Delete forever" and "Not spam." Maybe the solution is to have Archive change to say Delete when you're in the Spam folder, like we do in the Trash folder. #### #3 Updated by Jim Nelson 8 months ago That's exactly what we need to do. It's similar to how we fixed All Mail and Sent Mail: #4652. #### #4 Updated by Charles Lindsay 8 months ago Do we have any way of indicating that it gets deleted permanently, not stored in the trash (like I assume happens if you delete from those other locations)? It seems like trash is the only place where delete is permanent right now, which kind of makes sense. I'm not sure it's obvious or intuitive that deleting from spam is also permanent. #### #5 Updated by Eric Gregory 8 months ago I guess it depends if the users look at the button they're clicking on and understand the distinction between Delete and Archive. Gtk made the unfortunate choice of allowing themes to disable these labels, which definitely presents a usability challenge here. #### #6 Updated by Jim Nelson 8 months ago We could consider moving the Spam to the Trash folder ourselves when Delete is pressed. Or, we could imitate Gmail and morph the button to "Delete forever". There's just something so permanent sounding about it. #### #7 Updated by Jim Nelson 6 months ago * **Target version** changed from _0.4.0_ to _0.5.0_ --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 20:28 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 6515 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6515 Unknown milestone "unknown in product geary.

I think we can just disable the Archive interface on the gmail Spam folder, now that we have separate trash and delete actions.
