Dynamic "Move to" context menu

[userchris]

Hello,

I work with many subfolders, into which I need to move conversations/threads as they appear and continue. Currently I can either drag a conversation or message into the correct folder, or right click on message and "Move to ->" and descend into the fairly deep folder structure. This is unavoidable for the first message in a conversation, but I want to optimize it for subsequent messages in the same thread.

Ideally, the context menu would be populated with a "Move to [folderName]", where folderName is a suggestion of a folder where other messages of the same thread already are located. I know that this information must be somewhere, since I also can "Open message in Conversation", and see the folder(s) where other messages are located.

Is there any extension that could do this or something similar?
If not, which I suspect, would it be simple to create such an extension? If so, can someone point me to a couple of keywords and resources so I could look into creating one myself?

So far I only use a crude way to increase the number of items in the "Move to recent ->" submenu, by modifying some of the program resources. While it helps, it is less than optimal in method and result.

There are a couple of extensions that could be what you are looking for. Here's one -- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde ... il/?src=ss Also search that page for others with the term "file" in the name or description.

I don't know of any function or add-on that are "dynamic" to the point of being thread sensitive. But has Dan points out there are add-ons which can speed folder access. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde ... d-folders/ is another

The recent folder list is stored in the panacea.dat file. (mail folder cache)

You can increase the number of folders in the recent folder list with an extension

Here is how to remove a single folder from the recent folder list.

* select folder
* open error console in developer tools
* copy and paste code into error console
* press enter to run
* restart thunderbird

Code: Select all

GetFirstSelectedMsgFolder().setStringProperty("MRMTime", "");
