Description André Klapper 2011-07-30 12:08:23 UTC
On the "Receiving Email" page for a Standard Unix mbox spool file (accessible via <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Mail Accounts</gui><gui style="button">Edit</gui><gui>Receiving Email</gui></guiseq>) the label for the file chooser is called "_Path:".

To me it's confusing as this refers to the directories only on the "way" from / to the actual file. Proposing to change to "_File:" (but only for spool file, not for spool directory).
Comment 1 André Klapper 2011-07-30 12:13:09 UTC
Probably same for "Local delivery"...
Comment 2 Milan Crha 2011-08-25 16:33:41 UTC
It's path to a file :)
Comment 3 André Klapper 2011-08-25 16:44:48 UTC
To me, a path to file does not include also the filename, but only the folder in which the file is located. But in this dialog you choose the file itself.
So it's not /path/to/foo/ but /path/to/foo/file-named-foo .
As I explained in comment 0 to me it's confusing, to others it might be correct. Maybe a third opinion is good. :)
Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2011-08-25 16:47:21 UTC
Label it "Spool File:".

simple four-liner. Note the 'F' is taken by a Forward button.

> Label it "Spool File:".

it's shared between providers, do not write spool into it, no no.
Comment 7 Matthew Barnes 2011-08-25 16:49:41 UTC
That's unfortunate.
