I was about to ask "and just how do you view folder properties" when I
looked in the File menu. That's certainly something you'd expect to have
as a right-click menu option, now isn't it?

But I just tried it on the evolution folder, and then another.  Neither
one was having any trouble, I just was checking out this properties
dialog--YET, they both produced messages such as "Reconfiguring folder"
and then "Moving messages" even though I did NOT change anything (well,
the only thing you can change is the mail store format).

I would call this a bug.  It's also probably a useful feature, but no
way should it be triggered by pressing OK after exploring and
discovering the properties menu... there should be some "rebuild folder"
option in there.
