Bug ID: 484599
Summary: Name of UI element too long (Hide/Show Sidebar)
Classification: Applications
Product: kmail2

UI Element
SUMMARY
The current name for the toolbar element to show and hide the sidebar is
unnecessary long:
Hide/Show the component sidebar
This makes it uneasy, to use this as a dedicated button in the toolbar.
(See screenshot)
First, there is no other sidebar, so "component" is superfluous to begin with.
Second, other buttons have the option to change, depending on the state.
Like in Dolphin, where the "Split" element changes into "Close" and vice versa.
We could implement, to do the same here.
Otherwise, I suggest to rename the element simply into "Sidebar" and call it a
day.
Also consider, that this causes the translators to do work, so let us decide on
this with foresight. :)
Thanks a lot
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kontact, switch to the KMail panel (I assume standalone Kmail is the
same)
2. Add the 'Hide/Show the component sidebar' element to the toolbar.
3. Acknowledge, that it takes much space.
