Status: New idea

I have been using Thunderbird for many years but have recently started using Thunderbird on the Android.

I am really not a fan of the way folders are displayed within the application.

Inbox/Folder-1/Folder-2

Would like to see this improved to display folders in a tree format style.

I support the suggestion. Please add nested folder structures.

Thunderbird for Android 8.1 on Android 15 on Pixel 9 Pro XL

The Folders List that is displayed when you tap the hamburger icon is one very long linear list.  All folders and their sub-folders and even their sub-folders, continuing on down the folder hierarchy - are listed in one very long list.

This might not appear to be a big problem when you have only a few folders, but I have a lot of them.  It's very difficult to find and select the folder I want to open.

Thunderbird for Windows (and for all desktops, I imagine) lists folders in a hierarchical tree structure.  You can open or close a folder to see or not see it's sub-folders.  I would like to see this implemented in Thunderbird for Android.

With my IMAP account they are displayed as

folder.subfolder.subsubfolder

which is even more confusing, so tree view would be great!
