Cyrus IMAP: Sent folder subfolders (for lotsa sent mail - multiple folders) display sender column instead of recipient column. IMAP Folder structure: INBOX + Sent (works - shows recipient column) Sent2000 (shows sender column like normal folders*) + Saved Trash (* since it is a "member" of the Sent folder it should be assumed it is also a sent mail folder)

There is only one Sent folder designation per account, one recognized as the special Sent folder. Subfolders of the designated Sent folder do not figure into this "special" case. I don't believe we have any intention of changing this for the next release(s). Marking invalid (or could be considered RFE).

I stand corrected... it does indeed do this for Sent subfolders in 4.x. Thanks to kulesa for bringing this up. My apologies.

I would like this function added. Why can't I view who the message was sent as? Also I like to see who a message has been addressed to in the inbox. Then can sort by To field.

I agree with Richard Biddle. In my case, I save all my sent messages to the folder Sent. When a new year arrives, a create a subfolder under Sent folder named as the past year (for example now I have the folders '2000', '1999', ...). So, if I open Sent folder, the recipient column exists, right, but when I want to display the messages on any subfolder, the sender column is there and is very annoying. I will vote for this bug because I consider it very important.

If someone wants to fix this (before I get time to do it), here's what we need to do to: IsSpecialFolder() and IsSpecialFolderSelected() in[commandglue.js and threadPane.js (respectively)] need to be fixed. what the code currently does is takes the current folder and checks the flags. what it needs to do is this: check the current folder's flags, if that doesn't return true, try again with the folders parent. (see the nsIFolder interface). I'm not sure if parent will come back as null, or if you have to check if the folder is a server to stop the while loop.

I think this method should be also applicable for bug 82909 (similar bug about the special folder Drafts).

this looks like a good start, but I still have to test it. one question, why not just do this: +function IsSpecialFolderSelected(flags) +{ + var selectedFolder = GetThreadPaneFolder(); + return IsSpecialFolder(selectedFolder, flags); +} that way, you avoid duplicating all that logic. can you try that out, and attach a new patch? moving to 0.9.4, I hope to land it then.

I'm testing this out now, with my suggested change. I've extending this patch to also fix #72791

fixed.

Is this fix included on Mozilla 0.9.3 official release?

0.9.4 trunk.

OK using aug27 commercial trunk build: mac OS 9.0,win98, linux rh6.2

I think this bug is not completely fixed because: although now messages on sent subfolders show the column "Recipient" instead from "Sender", the column still shows the Sender information, and not the recipient. The same occurs with Drafts subfolders, as seen on bug 82909. Should we reopen this bug or open a new one which explains the bug associated with any type of subfolder? Or is already a bug that describes this? Anyone know?
