Suggestions

I'd like to move

  • Viewing messages Section
  • Scroll navigation buttons Spinner
  • Enable move buttons CheckBox Show the Archive, Move, and Spam buttons
  • Scroll move buttons Spinner into the Preferences. I see little use in setting those per account. A user who wants a particular interface will want that for all email accounts. They likely also would benefit from better names/descriptions and should be grouped into a section with other interface-defining preferences. -- thialfihar This might confuse users who only have POP3 accounts. -- cketti

It'd be nice to have

  • Archive folder name FolderSelect
  • Drafts folder name FolderSelect
  • Sent folder name FolderSelect
  • Spam folder name FolderSelect
  • Trash folder name FolderSelect
  • Outbox folder name EditText directly in Account settings. If that is problematic for some reason (POP/IMAP differences or somesuch), then perhaps "Incoming server" should get a better name and indicate somehow that the folder mapping can be found there. -- thialfihar

We could create a dedicated Notification settings PreferenceScreen to gather all notification related settings and make it reference from:

  • Preferences:

  • Notification Section

  • Notification settings PreferenceScreen Configure global notification settings

  • Account settings:

  • Notification Section

  • Enable account specific settings CheckBox Override global notification settings

  • Notification settings PreferenceScreen Configure account specific notification settings

That would require additional work in order to make notification settings independent of the "notification aware object" while not duplicating code. Doing so would help users willing to use the same notification settings for several accounts -- fiouzy +1 -- cketti
