           Summary: some folder operations do not work when mutiple
                    folders are selected
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: folders
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jjm at keelhaul.me.uk


Version:           Git (master) (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

It is possible to select multiple folders in the tree, using Ctrl-click or
Shift-click.  However, not all context menu operations are available or work
properly with multiple folders selected:

Copy/Move To: sometimes crashes (will raise a separate bug for that).

Mark All Mails As Read: disabled in menu, being able to do this on multiple
folders would be extremely useful.

Delete Folder: disabled in menu, but reads "Delete # Folders" so it is
obviously aware that multiple folders are selected!

Archive Folder: works for the last folder selected.

Assign Shortcut: works for the last folder selected.

Folder Properties: works for the last folder selected.

Expire: only appears to work on a single folder, it doesn't say which one.

Mailing List Management: only appears to work on a single folder, it doesn't
say which one.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select multiple folders in the tree, try to perform operations from the context
menu.


Actual Results:  
Anomalies as above.

Expected Results:  
Either the operations should work properly when multiple folders are selected,
or if this is not possible or sensible then they should be disabled.
