Feature Request: Listing Sub-Labels In Label Search Results

[Braindead3xl]

It would be nice to have a selectable option in the config for including sub-folders in the search.

For example, if I have a folder heirarchy of:

• Stephen King Books
  • Night Shift
  • The Stand
  • Carrie
  • The Shining

If I were to search for "king", having quickmove display not only the resulting search hit of the parent folder, but the folders beneath it would be great. A previous program I used (Postbox) had this functionality in its move-to-folder feature, which I found very convenient. A config switch allowing either behavior would prevent this feature from being too disruptive to those who don't want it.

Thanks for the suggestion! How would that work if there are very many subfolders?

Also would #84 help? Not to say this is something I'd do, but just to see if that is roughly what you're looking for. Everything I've explored so far would make things too complicated, I'm not sure how to include subfolders without overloading.

Hello,

I have recently switched from Outlook to Thunderbird and I really like it better. A couple add-ins here and there and this mail client is just as good - I do not think I will miss Outlook at all. That being said - I wanted to move - sort mail into folders easier and found your plugin. I have the All Folders Option On, but it would be great if it had the All Folders with Sub Folders - so it could see the parent folder and then the subfolders underneath it.

Like the individual who opened this request - I don't always know the sub folder names so I have to think, but if it listed the children / subfolders underneath the parent one that would be great.

Hope this can happen someone. For most people I not sure it keeps drilling down into sub folder upon subfolder, but at least one listing of the children under the parent folder would probably be sufficient for many.

Happy to test - hope this can somehow happen. Thanks for the contribution to this great project!! Happy Holidays!

Yes, #84 is actually exactly the sort of thing I'm needing. Perhaps more than I would personally need. I wouldn't need wildcard "hints", just an exact match of whatever I type in that includes the full path rather than just the folder name.

Searching "hel" would return all matches such as:

/helpers
/helpers/windows
/helpers/linux
/helpers/cheeseburger
/helpers/cheeseburger/pickles
/hello
/hello/gorgeous

It occurred to me just now that what we're suggesting is actually how Gmail's webmail interface handles moving messages into folders (or in Gmail's case, "labels").
