Note that folder names are properly localized based on the language in use at startup; the bug is only about dynamic localizations. (Well, bug 905869 and bug 905878 are still relevant for the gmail case; see bug 893458 for more discussion on that.) In terms of our deficiencies for dynamic updating: The front-end hands off a set of localized strings to the back-end when the back-end is started up. They get passed via MailAPI.useLocalizedStrings. We do not listen for the 'localized' event so we never push an updated set of strings into the back-end. For this bug, I think the best thing to do is for us to stop trying to have the MailAPI transparently localize folder names via this dance. We should probably just have the UI notice that they are special folders and set the appropriate data-l10n-id value onto the node in question so that the automatic re-localization occurs. (We do still want to listen for the 'localized' event and push an updated set of strings into the back-end for other reasons, namely for message reply generation, but that shouldn't happen on this bug.)

Activity and discussion is happening on bug 855198. Note that bug 1037266 is dealing with the other useLocalizedStrings stuff.
