1856220 - Gmail Starred folder: Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, enhancement)

Description

[spkatsi]

Steps to reproduce:

enabling: "Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to"

This feature works seamless in Windows Mail app and Gmail but found it a little challenging here. Hopefully I checked correctly to not include listed issues.

Actual results:

1. suggestion:
   Should be enabled by default as per Microsoft and Google.
   I think users should be warned with big-red-letters when trying to disable this.

2. missing feature:
   After you enable this option, it won't work retrospectively in past emails sent via Thunderbird

3. bug:
   -Occurs with Gmail / Google Workspace account and "Starred" folder.
   -"Starred" emails exist both in "Inbox" and "Starred" folder.
   -When replying via Thunderbird from "Starred" folder a copy won't be placed in inbox as well.
   -Strictly reading the description might seem sane however the expected result is not the intended.
   -Furthermore when you "de-Starred" and "re-Starred" the received email (which you might normally do when you reply) then Sent email won't appear either in "Inbox" or "Starred" folder.

Expected results:

1. ...
2. feature request
3. to display sent email within "Inbox" instead (Windows mail)
   (or if makes better sense to both "Inbox" and "Starred" folders)

Thank you for your time reading this.
