Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
Feature request:
If I want to post a new message to a folder (either USENET or IMAP) I just go to the menu item Message->Post New Message to Folder. Annoying, but it works.
But let's say I OpenOffice just gave a new message to me with a document in text format, and instead of sending it as an e-mail, I want to post it to a usenet group. Or I opened a new message with control-n by reflex, typed a lot, and then want to save it to my online IMAP folder for later editing at a public computer instead of to my local drafts folder. Or I decide this particular draft should be sorted into its own folder instead of with all the other junk I'm working on. You get the picture.
The way things are now, I have to save the message as a draft, navigate to my drafts folder, and click-drag it into whichever folder. However, I noticed (see the beginning of this, above) that there is already support for the nifty posting of a message to a folder from within the editing window.
Could someone make it possible to change the send field from To: to Post to: while in the editing window? Like with a right-click context menu or something? Or to just combine the dialog boxes I get at left-click into one, so when I click on the To: field I get to choose not just from my address book, but also get a tab or something for my folder tree?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://
We have instructions on debugging some types of problems. http://
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
