Status: New idea

Would love it if I could right-click a folder and use the context menu to move that folder around the folder structure of my various mailboxes - for example from my main email account which is IMAP (thus subject to quotas) into a Local Folder file hierarchy where I want it. Drag and drop between accounts is cumbersome at times, when you have too many folders to scroll past - and I have hundreds of folders after 18yrs of using TB for my business that now I need to clean up.

Familiar face

dragging folders is not only cumbersome, it holds a very real chance of loss of mail in the folder.  Especially when moving between accounts.

I like the way Bookmarks are Moved and/or Reordered IN FireFox ... BUT Something Needs to be DONE

Looks like this has been added to the latest Thunderbird 115! Only downside is when going between IMAP Accounts or an IMAP Account and Local Folders, it creates the new folder and moves the emails but then leaves the old folder behind. Not sure why that would be.

Making moves

All,

I would prefer to have confirmation of the folder move.  I have had to move over 100 folders back because it just thought I touched a folder a little too long.  It's getting really annoying.

No work around, and no add on?  OUCH.
