Description TLE 2008-03-08 12:18:33 UTC 
There are a number of strings in the .po-file that uses a (s) construction for strings that contains numbers that can be any number. These should be made properly with a msgid_plural construction. I've listed the strings below:

#: ../camel/camel-folder.c:1687
msgid "Filtering new message(s)"

#: ../camel/providers/pop3/camel-pop3-provider.c:45
#, c-format
msgid "_Delete after %s day(s)"

#: ../libedataserverui/e-categories-dialog.glade.h:5
msgid "Item(s) belong to these _categories:"

Furthermore there is some inconsistent use of Groupwise instead og GroupWise in thiese strings

#: ../camel/providers/groupwise/camel-groupwise-store.c:1307
#: ../camel/providers/groupwise/camel-groupwise-store.c:1328
#, c-format
msgid "Cannot rename Groupwise folder `%s' to `%s'"

Thanks for a bug report.

I fixed this within bug #261087

> #: ../camel/providers/pop3/camel-pop3-provider.c:45
> #, c-format
> msgid "_Delete after %s day(s)"

This cannot be changed, I'm sorry. It's a static string, name of the option, which cannot be ngettext-ized.

> msgid "Item(s) belong to these _categories:"

This is in bug #253510

This was fixed in bug #553148.

I'm marking this as a duplicate of the bug #253510, as it's still opened.
