Description
When a configured swipe action is not available (e.g. the swipe action "archive" is configured, but the user is currently viewing the folder of an account that has no archive folder configured), allow message list items to be dragged a small distance to reveal a "disabled" background (dark gray?). This should signal to the user that the swipe gesture has been correctly recognized, but that the action is not available in the current context.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Android message-list swipe handling and how configured actions are checked for availability. The work is done when an unavailable action permits only a small drag and reveals a disabled background, signaling that the gesture was recognized without performing an action.
