File > Save As > Template is an efficient, natural, and easy way of creating a new template in the Account's Templates folder from an existing message, e.g. from a sent message.

Actual result

Unfortunately, there's no user feedback at all, so for first time users, it might not be clear where the template got saved, and for everyone, it's needlessly hard to continue working with the newly created template.

Expected result

  • Provide user feedback after saving a message as template, at least to notify of the successful save and its target
  • This could be realized as a simple notification bar on the message preview with two action buttons:

🛈 This message has been saved as a template. [Edit Template] [Open Folder]

Edit Template -> Edit the new template in composition window (existing "Edit Template" command)
Open Folder -> Open the Templates folder with the new template selected.
