263032 - Move To: menu does not contain a "new folder here" option, causing the new folder to be there prior to deciding to move mail.

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

In order to move an email to a new folder in the tree, I have to go to the place
in the tree where I would like to put the message and create a new folder FIRST,
then go back to the preview pane and follow down the nested menus until I get to
the place where I created the folder.  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).

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.
