Display Subfolders in tree structure (like on thunderbird for desktop)

[Wumm]

Please add the option to display subfolders in a collapsable tree structure like on the desktop:

inbox
    subfolder1
    subfolder2
    ...

instead of displaying all folder paths in a list like it is currently done:

inbox
inbox/subfolder1
inbox/subfolder2
...

This would add greatly to the ease of use and simplicity of the ui.

I have also a folder structure (3 levels) and its nearly impossible to use it. Its an endless long list.

I support the suggestion too - please add nested folder structures.

Hello

Having used Maildroid for years, alongside Thunderbird on Linux, Mac and Windows desktops, I'm a recent convert to Thunderbird Mobile, and I'm very impressed.

However, I have over 5,000 IMAP folders, and the way that Thunderbird Mobile displays them linearly is not usable/accessible. I remember trying K-9 years ago and rejecting it for the same reason.

Please take this as an up-vote to add hierarchical folders, with expand/collapse, bringing TM in line with Thunderbird Desktop?

Unfortunately I don't have the coding skills to volunteer on this.

Thanks Jonathan.

Going back to Samsung Mail on my phone and tablet - with hierarchical folders, with expand/collapse

I have used the great Thunderbird email program on Linux desktop for more than a decade, and I tried a few times to use K-9 mail on Android as a mobile equivalent. The lack of nested folders made the latter too difficult to use, though. When I heard that there will be Thunderbird for Android, I had no doubt that it will have nested folders, as the feature is pretty much essential for a lot of users, and people expect a certain level of functionality because of the name Thunderbird. I have to say I was quite surprised and disappointed that that Thunderbird for Android was published without nested folders, as I'm not going to be able to use it myself – nor will be a large number of other people.

Definitely a must have feature for me. I've used Thunderbird for email since it was the Mozilla Messaging Suite, and was hoping for a usable mobile app. I may well switch when this feature is added, but having just checked again and found it still absent I will continue to recommend FairEmail as the best Android email client (at least for me).
