When marking an email: Unclear labeling "Markierung hinzufügen" [problem of German version only]
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Steps to reproduce:
Open email, click on button "Markieren" ("Mark").

Actual results:
The button to flag an email is called "Markierung hinzufügen" (literally "Add marking") in German (and "Markierung entfernen" ("Delete marking")).
This is confusing because the "main button" is already called "Markieren" ("Mark") and is thus very similar to "Markierung hinzufügen" ("Add Markierung"). One therefore wonders what kind of marking is added when clicking on "Markierung hinzufügen".

Expected results:
Under the button "Markierung hinzufügen", analogous to "Als gelesen"/"Als ungelesen" (As read"/"As unread"), one would expect an option like "Als wichtig"/"Als unwichtig" ("As important"/"As unimportant"), since in German there is no common translation for "as flagged"/"as unflagged".
The expression "as important"/"as unimportant" expresses best what this function ist meant for.

Laura created this task.

@bohlender Dieses Ticket sollte so passen, da wir das ja in der letzten Sitzung schon besprochen haben. Ich würde evtl. nur den Titel etwas kürzen

@machniak
Is our "mark as flagged" the equivalent of "mark as important" in other mail clients?

Yes. It uses IMAP \Flagged flag. This is the same as "Starred" in Thunderbird.
