Mozilla Thunderbird - Folder Search Option to Move Emails

more options

Hi

Currently the Outlook Web App on Windows and Web offers some sort of option to facilitate moving emails to specific folders by offering a search bar to look for a folder.

Please see image attached to this topic in order to see what i mean. Note: the image is in spanish

Also, here's a link to that same image: https://imgur.com/a/gfA1TcS

Does Thunderbird have something similar like this?

Thank you for your help.

I think you may do better by explaining what you want to achieve, rather than ask what features are in Thunderbird vs Outlook.

Ok I think on the main post gives in my opinion the best explanation of what I want to achieve, but in case it's not clear, i want to be able to move emails from my inbox to any folder by searching for that specific folder using like a search bar.

Right now I have to go through many menus on Thunderbird to move one or many emails to a folder. It's to have some sort of "shortcut" in order to facilitate my daily work.

Thanks..

One option is to highlight the desired messages, right click and select the 'move to' option. That seems simple, but if this is an IMAP account, there could be problems in the move, as IMAP wasn't designed for high volume transfers. Another option is to create a filter to do that, as it slows the process somewhat, but allow specific targeting of the desired messages. There may be other options, but those I'm familiar with.
