Description Lauris Kaplinski 2001-07-06 20:38:39 UTC
If (pine/netscape) mail import dialog will come up automatically,
there should certainly be line, saying clearly something like:
1. Your mail will/will not be removed from original location
2. You can always choose to import later by selecting File/Import
Rationale: confronting with new situation (new program) people do not
like to be forced to make choice - but current dialog kinda forces them,
as they cannot immediately tell the consequences of any 3 option
(import / do not import / do not ask more)
Comment 1 Luis Villa 2001-08-17 20:24:38 UTC
As a result of the UI freeze today, I'm marking all remaining non-1.0 UI bugs to
'future'. Someone reading this should only change the target back to 1.0 under
the following circumstances:
1) The change would not impact documentation. (i.e., 'how to do X' would not
have to be changed in any way.)
2) The change would require trivial work for the programmers involved. Most
likely, only the programmers themselves are able to judge this. So, if you are
not on the evo team, or cannot provide a patch to them for this, you should
probably not make any such changes. 
Sorry that this is going to impact so many irritating bugs, but we have to
prioritize our limited resources.
Comment 2 Toni Willberg 2002-06-06 16:06:13 UTC
Has anyone else requested this?

Nope, I guess. Reopen if still needed with current version.
Comment 3 Gerardo Marin 2002-06-07 16:29:50 UTC
WONTFIX is reserved for developers/designers. I'd like to hear from
Anna before closing this.
Comment 4 André Klapper 2005-07-16 16:04:16 UTC
lauris' comments are totally correct to me and it's exactly as he described. if
we want to get markets, care about the customers. :-)

reassigning to harish, to me this is a 2.5 gaim.
Comment 5 Calum Benson 2005-07-28 10:38:42 UTC
Apologies for any spam... cc'ing usability-maint on all Evolution usability
bugs. Filter on EVO-USABILITY-SPAM to ignore.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2006-02-20 14:51:22 UTC
this would require string changes, but i like that very much.
Comment 7 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 00:27:33 UTC
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 8 André Klapper 2021-05-19 11:32:57 UTC
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/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
