This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".
This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.
While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I still think that this is incosistent labeling

I'd like to confirm this bug. It's inconsistent language use and it's still in the 1.5beta version. Imho, it can very well be relabeled to 'Account settings for Account' (where actually account should be replaced by the account name, but that would be a different bug, since that problem is also in the 'Get messages for Account')

CC'ing Bryan for this trivial UI issue.

Yes, similar text is also used for the account overview page. The text should be more descriptive to where it will take you, lets change the "Properties..." text to "Account Settings..."

Taking bug...
An initial attempt at correcting this. Should I also change the code in the mailnews/ directories? (I only changed the code in the mail/ directory)

To add more details to my question, there are also other files in suite/ and mailnews/ that call the menuitem ids along with other things, that might regress in SM in this fix for TB.
(Did a quick mxr search and found several similar files touched in the patch also in mailnews/, but the patch doesn't address the changes for mailnews/)

That depends on if you want to fix it for thunderbird or both tb&sm. In this case the similar files outside mail/ are for seamonkey - the patch as is doesn't affect/regress them.

patch v0.1
This makes the context menu for a normal folder show "Account Settings" too, not only the account node.
Do we need the "Account", or is simply "Settings..." better? It's an context menu after all.
(On a side note, it's easiest to apply patches if you stand in the mozilla dir when doing the cvs diff.)

I thought that one word is OK when submitting bug (just wasn't sure whether settings or properties)
Comment 11•17 years ago

I would think "Settings" would suffice unless Bryan thinks otherwise.
Should the menuitem ids be changed as well? philor has pointed out that this may trivially break things probably for extensions.
Patch pending these two issues.

You're probably best off making another menu item for it, hiding/showing that and the Properties item as appropriate, and so on...
Comment 13•17 years ago

Gary: Agreed, I think Settings will work.
Comment 14•17 years ago
|

And I agree with Magnus that changing folder Properties is the wrong thing to do :)
Comment 15•17 years ago
|
||
phil and i are in constant agreement :)
Comment 16•17 years ago
|
||
So I'm not changing anything else but the word "Properties..." to "Settings..."
Is there anything else I missed, since the rest of the changes in the first patch seem unneeded?

patch v0.2
You are still changing the folder properties to read "Settings...". You should only change it for the account node.
So, create another menu item, and enable&show it when we have an account node, hiding the "Properties" for account nodes, showing it for normal folders.

This patch also includes the SeaMonkey bits. I'll ask for a separate SeaMonkey review/approval later (if needed).
