909520 - Search for specific Mail Folder not available

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 479767

(Thunderbird :: Search, defect)

Description

[Reinhard Klein]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130814063812

Steps to reproduce:

Have many Mail-Folders, couple of hundreds, one for each Customer, with sub-folders.
Would need to search for a folder name or part of a folder name in the folder window, for faster access to folder, but there is no search capability


Actual results:

n.a.


Expected results:

Would it be possible to add this capability in the next realeases or to develop an add-on which adds this capability to search for folder name?
Result should be a limit folder view which conatins all thunderbird system folders like Mailbox, sent, e.t.c plus only contains created folders which match the search result or part of it, regardless if it is a folder or sub folder.
