Thunderbird 'Favorites folders' - make sub-folders also 'Favorites' when checking a folder

[Lucien1]

Hello all,

as the Folders panel was short of space, I just decided to get rid of the folders 'Sent', 'Draft', 'Archive', 'Notes', etc ... that clutter the space : to do this I checked as 'Favorite' each of the folders that I wanted to keep on display, and in the "Modes" menu, I unchecked "All folders", and checked instead "Favorites folders".

Great ! I was really happy with the result 😎,
... but I got the disappointment at the moment I wanted to open one of the folders to access the content of the sub-folders : there was no sub-folder and no way to access the sub-folders 😭

I am probably supposed to check as favorite every and each sub-folder also, but this is beyond my reach, as I have plenty of them !

This is why I share this suggestion : upon checking as favorite a folder, consider all its sub-folders also as favorites

Hello, I like this idea!
We have a shared folder with various project folders, in which we have again different subfolders. It would be great to just mark a project folder as favourite and have it with all its subfolders in the favourites!
