(This bug imported from BugSplat, Netscape's internal bugsystem. It was known there as bug #327323 http://scopus.netscape.com/bugsplat/show_bug.cgi?id=327323 Imported into Bugzilla on 05/11/99 15:52) 9/28 RTM Candidate - NT From Messenger, highlight an IMAP server and go to the menu File|Subscribe. A dialog called "Commnicator: Subscrive to IMAP folders" comes up with 3 tabs - All, Search and New. the first tab works - but it looks like Search and New were taken from the code to subscribe to newsgroups and never made to work for IMAP folders Search tab - The field labeled 'Folder:' is always grayed out - so you can't enter the folder name that you're searching for. Note that if you select an news server instead it works. New tab - doesn't work either. All the buttons (including Refresh List) on the page are grayed out. The text above the folder list also refers to Newsgroups intead of IMAP folders.

cc: scurtis and laurel. QA assigned to scurtis.

UI problem - either later or dup. We never had any intention of supporting search, and the new tab should have been removed when we have an imap server selected.

This is invalid. Note that while a news server is selected, the dialog title changes to Subscribe to Newsgroups. We enable the panes, so that you can switch to a news server from within them, without having to select a the right server type first. I think it is better to disable and enable the buttons when choosing different server types, rather than hide and show them. Besides, it would be really strange to select an IMAP server in one of these panes, and have the pane disappear.

Changed summary and priority to reflect RFE for better UI. I see your point about not wanting the panes to disappear if you share the same dialog for news and imap. And I also see how 'New' might not be too interesting for IMAP shared folders. However, the reason I was surprised about Search was because I was actually trying to find an IMAP folder. So the request is: - make search work for IMAP folders -or- - don't share the subscribe dialog between News and IMAP servers. That way you don't have the problem of the 2 panes (seach, new) showing up when they're not useable. You only lose being able to switch from within the dialog from a news server to an imap server - and imho that doesn't seem to be used much

Any TFV for this bug ? ------- Additional Comments From hannigan May-11-1999 14:16 ------- setting TFV to 5.0 and assigned to 5.0 product marketing (sol). ------- Additional Comments From lchiang May-11-1999 15:51 ------- Seth is doing the subscribe dialog for 5.0 so I'll move over and assign to Seth (per talking with him).

Seth, pls take this suggestion into consideration and process accordingly. Thanks.

marking for m8, when subscribe is supposed to be done.

this isn't happening for m8, is it? Moving to m9

moving to m10. no subscribe ui yet.

Subscribe dialog is post-B1; moving to M14

Change QA Contact to me since it's my feature now.

paul is going to be doing the subscribe ui, and bienvenu and I will be doing the back end work (for imap and nntp) re-assign to him.

This seems like a dup of 17795 since Seth is doing the front-end and the back-end of the subscribe dialog. And since the dialog is much simpler than the 4.x version (no more tabs) it seems like we'll have a solution for Gena's original problem of wanting the dialog to be more similar between NNTP and IMAP. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 17795 ***

Yes. The dialog is much simpler than the 4.x version (no more tabs). After we have new design for 5.0, I will pay attention for the "search" especially for "IMAP folders" which this bug described for..... Verified as duplicate.

Removed block bug#5333 from here to bug#17795.
