Description:
Please describe your feature request:

After spending several hours converting 530 mailboxes from mbox to
maildir format, at six clicks (or five with a drag), I would like to
suggest the following:

1. A means to recursively transform a tree of mail from one format to
another.
2. When one mailbox is selected and another is right-clicked, the
highlight stays with the original mailbox, not the newly right-clicked
one.
3. The title of the mailbox property window shows a path, not a name of
a mailbox, thus if you are looking at the properties of a mailbox lower
down in a tree (like suppliers -> australia -> a to k -> ato), then you
don't actually see enough of the name to know which box you're looking
at since the dialog itself does not show the name anywhere.
4. Add a means of either setting the default mail storage format, or
setting the storage format on mailbox creation.

Finally, I should also note that I have 1.4Gb of mail, organised into
folders. Evolution took over three minutes to launch with mbox, but half
that with half the CPU/Disk load with maildir. The speed was a bonus,
but the main reason for the transform was because there does not appear
to be a means by which I am able to search all my mail. All I can do is
search it per mailbox. I have now installed swish++, just to search my
mail.
