Description km 2012-11-17 15:18:26 UTC 
Please allow to set defaults for the following folder properties:

- Act on new/unread mail in this folder
- Keep replies in this folder
- Enable full indexing

Now when you  want to change some property for many folders, you have to open the properties dialog for all of them one by one and change the settings. Very frustrating if you have several dozens of folders to change.

Reproducible: Always

I interpret this one as "extend property inheritance" to these settings (and possibly other settings such as the default identity or custom templates), as this is already possible for the properties in the retrieval tab.

I'm very much in favor of it, because configuring every folder separately is very cumbersome.
However, this needs to be designed very carefully in order to be a UI improvement rather than a UI nightmare.
Probably inheriting should be the default with an overwrite option. Also, the trash folder should probably be an exception with all of these options being disabled.
