1822815 - Certain Account Archive Folders Missing in Unified View

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Timothy Arnold]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/110.0

Steps to reproduce:

1a) Use multiple Gmail Accounts for your inbox in Unified View.
1b)Verify that a folder for each account exists under Archive unified folder
2) Perform an Upgrade to Thunderbird 112.0b1
3a) Check the Archive folder Unified View in the new UI.
3b) Verify that the Gmail accounts no longer exist

Actual results:

In transitioning to Thunderbird 112.0b1, the Archive folders that correspond to Gmail's All Mail folder no longer are visible in the tree structure of the Unified View. The emails still display when clicking on the main Archive header but aren't visible as separate folders for different accounts.

Expected results:

The All Mail folder in Gmail that traditionally is displayed in TB as an Archive folder in the Unified view should have its own folder in the Unified view tree structure.

To add to this, I think that all folders that are not the grouped default folders are missing in unified view at the moment. For my multiple inboxes, I do not see any additional folders besides Inbox/Draft/Templates/Sent/Archives/Junk/Trash.

This also applies to both Feeds and Newsgroups accounts, these are missing from the Unified folders view as well.

When the Unified mode is initialised, we've been showing the top-level folders from each account with the appropriate flag.
Instead, we should show the folders that are actually searched by each unified folder, because this may be different.

This patch doesn't address what happens if a folder is added to or removed from the searched folders, as that is going to be a much more complicated fix.

This moves the subfolders of an inbox into the Inbox section of the Unified Folders, as long as they are searched.
It also fixes missing archive subfolders in Unified Folders.
