Bug Description

The summary pretty much says it all. This is in the Mail component, in the hierarchical folder list on the left.

Thanks for your comment. Ubuntu gets its translations from
http://launchpad.net/rosetta. This is the place where translation teams
actively work on making Ubuntu more useful in their language. If you want
to change a certain text, Rosetta is the right place for it.

I don't understand the purpose of changing this to 'Search folders'. The function is to 'Select' a folder for use. Search is an entirely different thing and that function is completed elsewhere in the program. I wouldn't recommend this change.

That's incorrect. A Search Folder is a virtual folder which displays messages from all folders which match user-defined criteria. They are referred to as "Search Folders" throughout the rest of the application, except where they are displayed in the folder pane of the Mail component. This error is not present in the US English translation.

"Search Folders" are folders based search criteria, hence the name.

OK, that's fine. I think we were talking about two completely different things.
