Description

The Files app allows right-clicking in the file list, triggering a dropdown menu. However, the Mail app lacks this functionality. To enhance user experience, it would be beneficial for the Mail app to behave similarly to the Files app, displaying a dropdown menu when users right-click on a message.

Research direction

Start by comparing the Files app's right-click behavior with how NcListItem is used for messages in the Mail app. Trace the existing actions-menu entry point and confirm that right-clicking a message opens the same dropdown menu; verify the behavior in the relevant app UI.
