proposed patch to show folder's size (5.80 KB, patch)
2002-05-06 08:23 UTC, Bertrand Mathieu 		needs-work Details | Review

Description Bertrand Mathieu 2002-05-06 08:22:33 UTC 
Currently you have no way to know the size in bytes of a mail folder. It is
even more useful with IMAP accounts if your server has quotas.

The proposed patch prints the size of a mail folder in the status bar.
ex: "3 new, 1 selected, 9 total (270,91 K)".

Comment 2 Not Zed 2002-09-18 06:07:57 UTC 
the patch requires some locking in the summary code, and should always
come with a ChangeLog.

i dont really see much of a problem with it assuming the size can be
reliably determined (which it can't always, but we could add a flag
for that), what about ui people?

Comment 4 Not Zed 2005-05-19 04:06:37 UTC 
renmoving eplugin keyword.  this is definitely core and not eplugin material.

the patch is no longer suitable, adding a virtual method is redundant, it should
just use a folder property.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2005-08-23 15:22:32 UTC 
see bug 251262 (dup?) and relation to bug 270406

Comment 9 André Klapper 2021-05-19 11:31:43 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.
