Description Milan Crha 2017-07-04 16:40:01 UTC
While working on bug #781790, I did split the Defaults tab of mail account Properties into two. The Defaults contain 'Special Folders', the rest, with two new options, is the new 'Composing Messages' tab. The reason was because the Defaults tab was the tallest in the Properties and by split the two look approximately the same tall, and not sparse as well.

While at it, I renamed corresponding options in Edit->Preferences->Composer Preferences and slightly reordered them. Those corresponding are Start typing at bottom and Keep signature above.

Thanks for the heads-up! I have a 3.24 here on F26 but no 3.25 so two screenshots would be very welcome. :)

(...or three screenshots, re-reading the initial comment?)

Milan:
Going to the "Defaults" tab in the Account Editor in 3.24, there are no "Start typing at the bottom" and "Keep signature above the original message" settings.
Your screenshots from 3.25 have these settings.
As these settings also still exist in 3.25 globally under "Composer Preferences", I assume that the account setting overrides the global setting?

Also, what are "Lookup folders"? If that button allows users to quickly look up their existing folders then the verb is misspelled. :)


(Note to myself: no "on replying" in the user help hence the renaming is not relevant; but lots of "Defaults" pages for each account type to update.)

It's because they had been added.

They are 3-state checkboxes, which is "on/off/neither-on-nor-off", where the last means "use global settings" and it's also the default for existing and newly created accounts.

It's there for a long time, it comes from automatic recognition of real folders for Trash/Junk/... Once clicked, the code connects to the server and looks up respective folders on its own and populates the values as found.

I suppose you do not like the "lookup" word. I do not have it shown misspelled here, even other words like "checkboxes" and "screenshots" are marked as such in this comment.
