Make a folder a favorite when created

I maintain a "Favorites" folder view as those are the folders I use 95% of the time and I have a very large number of historical folders I need to keep around but don't need very often. Trouble is, when I create a new folder, the creation dialog doesn't offer the option to make the folder a favorite so that it disappears after creation. I have to switch to the "ALL folders" view and then right click on the new folder and check the "favorite" box and then go back to favorites view.

It would make life so much easier if there was a favorite checkbox on the creation dialog.

Thank you.

Just a point, the newer versions of Thunderbird allow you to have all folders and favorites enabled as the same time.

You might also want to look as the quick folders addon. Something of a Swiss army knife with regard to folders. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/quickfolders-tabbed-folders/?src=ss

You may well find your idea for a check box already here in the ideas. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas I am sure I have seen the request before somewhere.

Hilfreich?

Thanks, Matt. I wasn't able to find exactly this in ideas, but I hope it's there.

I'm aware of the fact that you can have both favorites and all folders views up together, as I indicated in my original question. But that's just silly extra work to create new folder you know you want as a favorite and then have to go hunt for it in all folders. The add-on solution isn't much better. Why do I need an additional system, tabbed folder shortcuts, when that is the purpose of my favorites view and I really prefer just having the tree on the left.

It just really seems like having a simple check box to designate a folder as a favorite when the folder is created is such a simple and direct method. I know how to find any folder I create so I can designate it as a favorite. But why do I have to do that? It's so much more work.

Hence, why this is a feature request, not a request for a more complex work-around. :)

Hilfreich?
