Greetings.

If I remember correctly, at one time you could create a folder on-the-fly when setting up Filters. However, I don't remember if it was in TB or through an Extension. I've searched but couldn't come up with anything.

When I go to set up a Filter, I often have to create the folder 1st, then I can set up the filter. This takes a little extra time.

Does anyone have any info or tips on how to make this easier?

Thank you :) Fritz216

Probably an add-on as I never recall being able to make a folder while creating a filter.

Perhaps one pf these add-ons? https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/extensions/folders-and-filters/?sort=users

Hi Matt, and thanks for the reply.

I don't remember... it probably was an extension, but I browsed thru the xcurrent ones and didn't see one that said it could do that.

Oh well, age is catching up with me :D

Have a safe and Happy Holiday season :)
