How about adding 2 features to Thunderbird?

  1. Filters are already created and I simply just want to add that email into that filer. Since the filters are already created when selecting the email address set a pop option to appear selecting the right mouse with the option add filter then it brings up the list of filters that thunderbird already has. The reason for this I have a bunch of new emails I like to be able to select and simply dump into specific folder instead of having to copy and paste the email into the filter all the time. That means a bunch of them. I simply do not want to do this with string of the subject as they as they differ.
  2. Add folders when selecting the email address.Again add the option when the email address is selected the option of create folders appears. I have so many folders I don't always remember if the folder is already created and if I start to create a filer and see my intended folders is not there then I have to cancel the filter then create the folder then start all over with creating the filter again. Outlook does a better job of that.
