If there is some reason this dialog box cannot be made functional, perhaps it shouldn't be displayed at all as it is confusing and adds to visual clutter. Otherwise, why is it greyed out and can that be fixed?

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.

It is still greyed out and non functional. Maybe it is supposed to be a joke to put a non-functional search dialog at the top of page displaying an IMAP folder list? Does it ever work? I only use IMAP so I've never seen the dialogue work.

Personally, I'd hide it for imap, but UI folks seem to prefer disabling UI items instead of hiding them. Is this a case where you'd prefer it disabled instead of hidden, Neil? Short of making it work for IMAP, of course :-) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/912706/comments/3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2005-09-28T13:05:44+00:00 Neil-httl wrote: Maybe if we renamed it "Show newsgroups containing:" it would make more sense.

If it's a feature that is planned for near future support, then I wouldn't waste time hiding the dialogue. On the other hand, if it isn't a feature that is planned soon -- I'd like to note that this feature has been available in MS Outhouse since at least the 2000 version, so maybe this should be an RFE. But as long as it remains an inactive or unplanned RFE, I'd call it a UI bug that it is displayed for IMAP folders at all -- minor. But it is a probably a 'normal priority feature deficit' (um, is that a bug or a RFE; hard to classify it w/o some predefined "spec" or feature set to which T-bird/Moz should measured. *However*, given that it works for other users (assuming on local folders and maybe POP? or is it even applicable to POP...it doesn't have folders, does it? Been a while since I POPped (*ahem*)), then it seems to be the intention to provide search functionality for folder names. If "Ability to search for folder names" is the "stated feature" that one wishes to support, then this is still a bug. If one creates a odd feature list, along the lines, of "if [it is a day ending in 'y' and if it is a month containing the letters 'u' or 'r' and if] it is a local folder store, or news account (others), then support searching, else not. [i.e. this really is only not supported for folders of IMAP type] Ok, I bracketed some excessive specificaly malarky to highlight the point. Ideally, (in my mind) features should be implemented orthogonally to data types on which they would make sense -- which in this case would include feature-search(data-type-folder), where IMAP does fall into the valid classs of folder data types. But hey, just my "backseat driver", leachy-user point of view (with some "minor" <10 (in base 32, but not hex) number of years of design experience; sorry, bad habit of being a bit of a "smart" (dumb?) ass. Please don't take it personally, I'm just generally irreverent which has the bad and unintended side effect of "endearing" (*cough*) people towards me and my ideas.

Neil, can you elaborate on how not having a known separator is a problem?

I would really love this IMAP folder filter as a feature, as I regularly look for certain folders in a long list to subscribe/unsubscribe. I'd expect it as a filter to the IMAP folders list, so there might evolve no problem from multiple identically named folders (as long as you consider their full path).

We have an extensive folder list and since every subfolder is expanded in the view, it takes a long time to find the folder I want to subscribe to or unsubscribe from.
