In Outlook express if I wanted to create a new folder to move an email to there was an option which let me create a new folder as part of the move. This was extremely useful With thunderbird if I want to move an email to a new folder I have to create the folder first in the left hand folder tree view then move the email to the newly created folder. It doesnt even show the new folder in the RECENT folders list.

Would it be possible to add this feature to thunderbird as it would make moving emails a LOT easier?

Perhaps you might like to suggest an enhancement in Bugzilla. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
