GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 253820
Menu pick to rename a folder is inconsistent between components

Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: The method to rename a "folder" is not consistent between mail and the other components. In Calendar, Contacts and Tasks to rename a folder you right click on the folder and select Properties in the popup menu. In Mail there is a separate rename menu item in the popup menu when you right click on a mail folder. I'm not sure which approach is correct, but the componenets should at least be consistent.

Adding UI keyword. We might want to add support for doing in-place rename in the folder tree also.
FWIW: the popup is easier to do from mail perspective, since its already done :) To do it in the properties window, it would an hour or two work. You can already do it that way for vFolders anyway.
is this just going to be punted now? ui changes at this stage seem a bit late.
Will have to wait until 2.1
reassigning jpr's old evolution\miscellaneous bugs to harish
still in 2.5.4, reassigning to srag
removing old target milestone. would be nice to see this fixed for 2.8, though.
Bumping version to a stable release.
I do not think this makes any sense. You know, there is a difference between a folder in mail and a source in the addressbook/calendar/task/memo component. The later are not a folders at all. And the argument about vfolders? It's only the other option, you can rename that "folder" same as other folders in mail. WontFix?
OBSOLETE, actually, since I recently added a Rename item to the ESourceSelector popup menu. And I still mean to get rid of the mail folder rename dialog.
