Summary: It's impossible to run a message filter on a folder that has subfolders → run a message filter on a folder - "choose this folder" option missing, so can't run on folders with subfolders
Version: unspecified → Trunk
It should just need "showFileHereLabel" and "fileHereLabel" attributes on the menupopup. I'll try to get to this later tonight.
Attached patch patch v1 (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
This patch adds the attributes, as I mentioned. It also fixes a problem where icons weren't showing up for the folders in the menu.

Comment on attachment 324194 [details] [diff] [review] patch v1 I noticed this is only part of the fix. It does add back the "choose this folder" - but the actual selecting of a subfolder does nothing.

I can confirm Magnuses words. The option is there, but you cannot select any sub-folder. After making selection (clicking on folder) it just jump back on "INBOX". My version is: version 3.0a2pre (2008063003) (no other patches added).
Still not working! version 3.0a2pre (2008070703)
Note that the imap trash folder menu is also affected by this - subfolders can't be selected. Think they use (~) the same code.
Another place that looks like the same problem is when you try and select a folder to run filters on. (not just the destination). In particular if your inbox has subfolders (mine do), there seem to be problems creating or editing filters so they apply to the inbox.

we should fix this for b1

Confirming Mitra's words. The "Run selected filters on:" in "Message Filters" still handles folder-choosing the old way, doing nothing at all (impossible to choose any other folder than "Inbox"). (Shredder/3.0b1pre)
Switching for b1 flags to target milestones, to avoid flag churn.

jminta, can you look at this? My guess is that this might be fallout from some previous changes...It's on our b1 blocking list.
Attached patch patch v2 (deleted) — Splinter Review
Adds the attributes, and watches for selection. This is the general problem with structuring menus like this (as opposed to the flat structure the binding can also do), but that's a battle for another day.

Comment on attachment 337074 [details] [diff] [review] patch v2 Yep, this seems to work, thx! r=mkmelin
3.0b1 flag is going away in favour of 3.0 flag and milestone combination.
