GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 245101
sort special folders at top

Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: Idealy it would be nice to have INBOX, Drafts and Sent Items (Trash??) displayed first in the IMAP folder lists. However, I would imagine that most people would be satisfied with simply having the INBOX placed at the top. (Maybe just displaying them in the same order as .mailboxlist?)
mailer has no control over folder sorting
Jeff: it does, you can pass a sorting_priority value to evolution_storage_new_folder(). That's what Connector uses to put the Public folders on top, for example. However, I am not sure if/how we should tweak the folder sorting exactly. It needs some further thinking (and definitely not 1.4 material).
This seems to be (partially) implemented in 2.0.2; Inbox is now the first in the list, and Trash is the last.
Enhancement request in OpenSUSE also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219756
Bumping version to a stable release.

This works for Inbox, it's always at the top now, and it's there for quite long time (I see on 3.0.0 and even earlier versions, I guess since comment #3). The rest can be dealt with in bug #202257. Bug #537353 is rather about account sorting, than folder sorting, the user description there is not accurate, but what he wants is to move _all_ Search Folders at the top, which is bug #351025. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 202257 ***
