Sometimes the folder is there, sometimes not. There is no "new folder" option. If there is a folder, then there is no right arrow. There should be two choices at the end of every chain: put message here, or create new folder. Better yet, replace the menu style for saving the message with the add-bookmarks dialog box.

Eudora has had this feature for years. It's very useful.

Amen. I've needed this since moving from Eudora to Thunderbird and just posted support for its equivalent under SEAMONKEY (since that was the first one of these that I found).

This would be great, also related: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475160
I agree with the others on this issue. I have hundreds of folders and sub-folders. A common sub-folder for me -- especially with people/colleagues that I communicate with regularly -- is the year. Of course, then, each year I have to add another sub-folder. But having so many folders and sub-folders makes that difficult to do using the left-side folder menu. It would be so much easier to use 'message->move to' or 'Go ->go to', find the last level of sub-folders and add a new one. I hope that Thunderbird will add this feature. It should also add the ability to colour folders -- this would make it a lot easier to find the folders one is looking for in the huge list of folders.
