Grouped folders with IMAP are at least / but only temporarily possible
Hello, I read somewhere that grouped folders were not possible with IMAP accounts. But with Win 11, TB 115.6.0 (64-bit) they definetly CAN be created and they are ALSO DISPLAYED (see pic). In order to display folders even more specifically, after that you can also make individual grouped folders favorite folders and display them as such. ONE / THE ONLY PROBLEM: If you close TB and open it again, those (and even no) folders are displayed anymore. However, the grouped folders and their settings are still there and will (only) be displayed again if you check the appropriate box for their display. I hope that it's not that difficult - and would be excellent - to implement so that the grouped folders and favorite folders (and also the "normal" or all previously displayed folders) and their view are just displayed unchanged even after restarting TB. So, in the simplest case, it's just a matter of the appropriate checking of the box for the folders display are set "automatically" when you restart TB / the computer (at least for the grouped folders, but keeping the Favorites folder would also be good, of course). In addition, after restarting TB, you wouldn't be shocked that all email accounts or folders seem to have disappeared. Could this be FIXED / IMPLEMENTED PLEASE? Then TB would be perfect! Thanks in advance. Pat

I am a bit confused. How is this different from 'unified folders' view? Thank you.
Hello David,
First and foremost, thank you for dealing with the problem promptly. As I understand your comment, you are right that what I called "grouped folders" are what you call "unified folders". As far as I can understand, this is an unfortunately not entirely consistent translation (from German).
Regardless, the problem remains. Therefore, I would be grateful for suggestions for solutions (changes in the settings (?) - but i doubt that). However, if the obvious problem described is one that can only be solved by changing the programming (e.g. ("autostart"-)adjustments to the program or an add-on (?)), I (and certainly many other users) would be in favor for any of the necessary program corrections.
Thanks in advance and by the way, have a good new year!

I appreciate your perspective, yet the unified folders were intended to group predefined folders together as one for easy reference. Creating a favorite unified folder would be a duplication. If you believe it would be useful, you are free to suggest it at connect.mozilla.org. Thanks for writing.
