tb_in_sf@my-dejanews.com makes this suggestion: by default, displaying the current user profile name in the Title Bar of the Messenger window. Otherwise it's hard to tell what mailbox I'm looking at - it just says "Inbox - Netscape Folder". I tried renaming the Inbox.* files with a test profile but that didn't work (and seems like a really bad idea anyway). -- I like this idea - the messenger toolbar should show you your current context - at least the identity, maybe the actual account that is in use.

This was talked about at a recent mail issues meeting. cc: putterman, sol, and jglick in case they have any comments.
We had mentioned something like "Inbox on server" as what could go in the title bar. I don't think we'd talked about the identity, but if we need that to distinguish it, or just to be more helpful, perhaps we should do that too.
Summary: Show current account/identity in the title bar → Show current account or folder in the title bar
yeah, I think terminology is getting mixed. I'll fix the summary. I agree identity doesn't make sense
This is a nice to have for PR1.
My notes from our meetings say: The name displayed in the Titlebar is "Netscape: <Folder Name> on <Account Name>" (in bold).

done!

Verified Fixed. The Title bar now displays "Netscape: <folder> on <account>". Even though this is fixed I have some reservations with how this information is being displayed. After discussing my concerns I will open new bugs to refine the way the information is displayed.
