Hello,
I work with many subfolders, into which I need to move conversations/threads as they appear and continue. Currently I can either drag a conversation or message into the correct folder, or right click on message and "Move to ->" and descend into the fairly deep folder structure. This is unavoidable for the first message in a conversation, but I want to optimize it for subsequent messages in the same thread.
Ideally, the context menu would be populated with a "Move to [folderName]", where folderName is a suggestion of a folder where other messages of the same thread already are located. I know that this information must be somewhere, since I also can "Open message in Conversation", and see the folder(s) where other messages are located.
Is there any extension that could do this or something similar?
If not, which I suspect, would it be simple to create such an extension? If so, can someone point me to a couple of keywords and resources so I could look into creating one myself?
So far I only use a crude way to increase the number of items in the "Move to recent ->" submenu, by modifying some of the program resources. While it helps, it is less than optimal in method and result.

Re: Dynamic "Move to" context menu
There are a couple of extensions that could be what you are looking for. Here's one -- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde ... il/?src=ss Also search that page for others with the term "file" in the name or description.

I don't know of any function or add-on that are "dynamic" to the point of being thread sensitive. But has Dan points out there are add-ons which can speed folder access. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde ... d-folders/ is another
