           Summary: Deleting mail folder via context menu can delete
                    incorrect folder
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: wool.in.silver at googlemail.com

Deleting a folder via the context menu doesn't work as expected; see repro
steps.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Right-click on a mail folder you wish to delete.
Select "Delete Folder".
If, like me, you are trying to delete a remote folder, this will take an age,
so carry on with your life whilst you await the delete confirmation.
Select some other folder which you wish to work on in the meantime (and indeed
NOT delete).
When the confirmation dialog appears, you will be asked about deleting the
newly selected folder, NOT the one you wished originally to delete!

For full repro, blithely ignore the confirmation dialog, and irrevocably delete
all of your important emails.
Actual Results:  
KMail deletes 3 years of my emails.

Expected Results:  
KMail does NOT delete 3 years of my emails.
