            Bug ID: 340625
           Summary: imap parent folder properties regression (git/4.14)
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: folders
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: rjvbertin at gmail.com

Until recently it was possible to set certain properties (retrieve frequency)
of a collection of IMAP folders by editing the properties of the parent folder,
be it the account entry in the folder list, or a parent folder like "[Google
Mail]".
It seems that this is still possible for "regular" folders (like the "Devel"
folder under which I have gmail store folders for KDE, MacPorts etc.
mailinglists), but it no longer is for "[Google Mail]" or the account entry.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click an entry in the mailbox folder
2. Select the properties action


Actual Results:  
The action has been deactivated for the "account folder" as well as for
"[Google Mail]", among other actions.

Expected Results:  
It should be possible to set at least certain properties on those folders too,
like the retrieval interval. After all the folders directly underneath (Inbox,
"All Mail" etc) do have the option to use their parent folder's property for
those settings. Because of that I'm marking this a major issue.

I discovered this when I wanted to deactivate indexing for several folders at
once, tired of having to wait for a folder sync each time I want to change that
folder's properties. I'd deactivate email indexing altogether as used to be
possible in the nepomuk days, but apparently we no longer have that choice...
