Remove the folder "class" mechanism, use standard IMAP Folder subscriptions

[gavinwa]

I've used K-9 Mail since the very first versions. The 1st, 2nd etc class structure for folders has always baffled me.

Consider dropping this feature in favour of using the standard IMAP folder subscription scheme - if it's subscribed, then it's visible.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I've always found K-9 Mail to be as user-friendly as a barbed-wire lavatory roll.  Sadly Thunderbird is only going to be the same with a different (better) colour scheme.

I can see a lot of people who use, and like, computer Thunderbird being very disappointed.

In the latest beta release they have done this: https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/releases/tag/THUNDERBIRD_8_0b2

Hi folks. We've indeed removed the folder classes mechanism because it was hard to understand for users, thank you for posting this as an idea. There are still a few folder options such as push folders and synchronizing, which we're going to explain a bit better in a future update.

@gavinwa have you had a chance to try Thunderbird for Android to see if the new approach works for you? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.thunderbird.android
