New sub folders being added to Unified folders

Just wondering if there was a way to change the behavior of Thunderbird. Currently, if I add a subfolder to an IMAP mail account, that folder will show up in the Unified Inbox. Yes, I know how to remove it from there but I'm getting tired of doing that each time I add a folder as I need to do it to multiple devices.

Thanks.

I believe it does that only if the new folder has the same name as folders in other accounts. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are experiencing.

No, these are all unique folder names. These are organizational folders I create to sort out my Inbox. Way back, this was never an issue but has been for the last year or two.

Puzzling. Would you mind posting a screenshot of unified folders and also one of that specific account under 'All Folders' ? That may give people here on the forum a better grasp. Please note which are the unique folders. Thank you.

Here you go. Any of the subfolders (some marked with yellow arrows) are automatically added to the unified In Box when they are initially created. It didn't used to work like that. They used to be left out of the Unified Folders area by default.

Thanks.

You've got all your subfolders under the Inbox. At least, that's what it looks like to me. Which is supported by imap, but is rather non-standard. Did you do that, or did your server do that?

Unified folders wasn't designed to support that paradigm.

Well, i started organizing my inbox like this many many years ago so I couldn't tell you if I did it or one of my many email clients (though it was probably Thunderbird). All I do know is that Thunderbird used to treat them differently than it does now.

I don't see any reason why I couldn't put them in the root of the account so I'll see what that does.

Thanks.

Well, it looks like subfolders can only go into the Inbox. So my question still stands, can we change the behavior of Thunderbird to automatically exclude new inbox subfolders from the unified inbox?

Check https://mzl.la/3PC8OeK and let us know which bug report(s) match.

The closest one to this would be Bug 1852155.

To me, it looks like Thunderbird is doing what it "should," but it isn't giving me the option to do what it used to do. There just needs to be a check box "Don't add Subfolders to Unified Search" in settings so when I add a new folder, it doesn't automatically add it, but still allows one to add it later.
