I'm not sure I understand. If you right-click on account folder, that option exists. I don't recall it ever being on the right-click menu for messages.

Hi, please see attached. Before there was this menu available when right-clicking on selected messages (see attached 1) This option does not show anymore. When I right-click on account folder, I still don't see this option (see attached 2). Thanks
