Allow changing per-folder archive settings when auto-archiving is disabled
Last modified: 2018-05-22 08:58:52 UTC
I noticed that the per-folder archive settings affect manual archiving with the Ctrl+Alt+a shortcut but if I do not want to enable automatic archiving, then I cannot enable custom per-folder archive settings that also affect manual archiving. Instead, the default archive folder is used. I would suggest the following enhancements: Rename the "AutoArchive" tab of the "Folder Properties" to "Archive". Remove the word "old" from each of the three options at the bottom. Change "Cleanup" to "Auto-cleanup" and add a checkbox to the left of it. When the checkbox is unchecked, no automatic archiving will happen in the folder, but manual archiving with Ctrl+Alt+a can happen. So the dialog would be like this: Folder Properties Archive [ ] Archive this folder using these settings: [ ] Auto-cleanup messages older than ( ) Move messages to the default archive folder ( ) Move messages to: ( ) Delete messages
Thanks for a bug report. I did it almost that way. The only change is that the "Archive this folder using these settings:" is not a checkbox. Otherwise it's as you suggested. I cannot push it into the stable branch due to changed localized strings. Created commit 27c038dda0 in evo master (3.29.3+)
