GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 251496
support for folder-specific options (like mutt folder-hooks)
Last modified: 2003-11-29 23:30:27 UTC
For me this bug is a major functionality issue. However it is a new feature request, so the severity is set to wishlist. Evolution should support a number of settings which would be folder-specific (i.e. right-click on the folder and have a menu pop-up "edit settings"). Those settings would include: - view - ability to set default header values: o From: address (or identity/account) o Reply-To:, Cc:, Bcc: o Custom headers - Drafts/Sent folder A number of these settings can already be set in the "accounts" editor (the header values and the Drafts/Sent folders). The per-folder settings should override the per-account settings. If possible the composer should have a "show custom headers" option in the "view" menu. When composing a new message the settings of the currently opened folder should be used. Rationale: I have one IMAP account with a set of folders in which I receive mail for a number of "role-accounts" (noc, news, private, business, several mailinglists). In such a (common) scenario it makes a lot of sense to be able to to set From:/Cc:/Bcc:/custom headers per folder. There are a lot of people who want this, it regulary comes up on the mailinglists: http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2001-May/008736.html http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2001-May/008769.html The first message is over 2 years old, yet I could not find a bugzilla report requesting this feature. BTW, my OS is "debian sarge (3.1)" but it's not in the list ;)
