How to keep groups collapsed?

I’VE FOUND A “WORK AROUND” FOR THIS… If you go into Settings > General >> CHECK “Show Local Filters” THEN SELECT “Show on Start up: GLOBAL INBOX”

Now when I close the program (with all the folders collapsed) they stay collapsed when I open the program again.  Soo much nicer!!!

Yet you didn’t even vote for this idea to be considered!!

4 votes in 6 years does not indicate a popular idea, so maybe doubtful that eM Client will even consider it.

Even in emclient 8 it doesn’t work. That’s ridiculous.

Unfortunately that doesn’t help when you switch to another folder.
I cannot believe that such a basic feature doesn’t work.

It doesn’t work because it is not a feature.

So why is collapsing a feature, when it doesn’t stay collapsed??
