I am new on Ubuntu and on Thunderbird to which I moved. Before I used Pegasus under Windows.

With Pegasus, I got the possibility, when sending a mail, to direct the mail to a folder/sub-folder of my choice.

I tried several options in Thunderbird > Account > Copies & Folders. I was not successful.

How must I proceed ? Thank you.

Hello

I don't quite see the problem in selecting 'other', then clicking the arrow at the end of your preferred account in the list to display the subfolders (and recursively the subfolders of a subfolder...)

GP, I agree with you that your explanation. But it needs to be done, asf ar as I understand, from the Thunderbir's account. And that for EACH email, to be put in a selected folder.

What I am looking for, is to select the folder for the sent email, when I click on "sent" upper left, when I finished writing my mail.

Or to explain it otherwise : when "clicklng" on "sent", Thunderbird would ask me where the mail needs to be archived : which folder or sub-folder. I choose then right folder/sub-folder or creating a new folder/sub-folder. That without reverting to Account > Copies & Folders to select destination.

I hope my explanation is more clearer

Obviously this is not a Thunderbird capability. Try to search for an add-on. This is not a need that I have ever seen asked for mail clients, so I'm not hopeful that such an add-on could be written and maintained.
