           Summary: 'Start Maintenance' functionality name not explicit
                    enough
           Product: KMail Mobile
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sabine at kdab.net


Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

The Start Maintenance entry from the Actions tab (View/Start Maintenance) on an
email folder does not have a very explicit name so the user is unsure of what
he will find in it.

Personally I would have guessed some advanced functionalities not just copy,
move , delete...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch Kmail-mobile
- Click on an Imap inbox folder
- Open the 'Actions' tab
- Click on 'View'
- Click on 'Start Maintenance
- A new view appear with the folder name on the top left hand side and its
emails on the right
- Click on one of the emails
- Under the folder name a lot of functionalities appear: Delete email, Move
Item To..., Copy Item To..., Mark Mail as Read, Mark Mail as Important, Remove
Action Item Mark

Actual Results:  
All of those are functionalities that are pretty standard so any user will able
to use them.

Expected Results:  
That is why I would suggest a more descriptive, simpler and less scary for the
user name for the 'Start Maintenance' functionalities maybe something like
'Manage emails'.
