Search for a folder

I have to close or scroll past open folders and navigate each step manually with my mouse. What we are asking for is a box exactly like the emClient Move or Copy Email dialog where I can type in “Boulder” and when I click it, that folder is selected in the tree and all the emails filed in Boulder folder show up in the list.

Hopefully that can be added in the future.

Am I using an incorrect search box? I can’t find any others. The functionality you describe above is just what I’m looking for. I just don’t see where to do that. okay, I’ve now seen that just to the right of the word “Mail” at the top of the tree, you can type one (1) character and it will search for a folder that starts with that. But if you type a second character, it starts the search over. So if I type “E” it finds Embarcadero. But if I continue to type “m” (I’m looking for emClient) I then find Microsoft.
I emailed about this some time ago and explained this. The person I emailed said they’d add it as a suggestion for a future version. It’s just so hard to access my emails right now that I keep checking back. I’d hoped this version would provide that functionality.

Oh keep clicking on the (Far right). There is two areas you can get search advanced options.

So hover your mouse and click right at the very end of the search fields.

Clicking on the (Far right) just provides more advanced search of emails not folders.

Perhaps you could post an image of typing in a folder name and jumping to that folder. Then I’d know we are on the same page.

You will need to look at the documentation built in to see how to access everything.

Note If this still doesn’t help you, update this thread with what you propose or need extra.

If it’s okay with you, I’d like to send you a link to a video that I will prepare that shows the need and the desired functionality. I don’t want to publish the link because it will contain lots of content that I don’t want to share with the world. Can you provide me an email address to send the link to? It’d also be nice to be able to address you by name if possible. (can’t be addressing messages to “Dear cyber”…

Thanks!

Just put any videos if they can be public in this thread. Or email them to the company directly.

This is just a free user forum only. Email addresses to send anything or suggestions etc for future.

I’ve uploaded a video to ticket #141548 that was created back in March when I conversed with Juraj Micek about this same issue. As I said - there would be personal information in the video that I can not make public.

Since I don’t think I was able to properly describe my request to either of you, maybe this will help.

Thanks!
Pete

Ok sounds good.

Hi folks. So I don’t know how frequently releases come out or if this “issue” is even being considered. However, it is quite important to me and I’ve been spending an inordinate amount of time navigating to client folders since I switched to emClient. It would be helpful to know how long it might be before there is some means of jumping to a desired folder quickly. If it will be a while, I should probably go to another client until it is implemented.

Thanks,
Pete

I have the same problem - I have multiple folders with emails in and do not want to search emails, but simply to jump to a folder in the “More” list - how do I or why can’t I?

Not to be too snarky, but I had to leave emClient (again) and return to Thunderbird (again) because of this problem. I would have waited for the fix, but the several people I’ve conversed with at emClient have asked why I would have so many folders and why this feature should even be necessary. Didn’t give me much hope that they’d ever implement it.

I also want this feature

This feature is planned for version 10 (ETA not yet available). It is actually a filter, so as you start typing in the search box, only folders matching what you type will be displayed from their folder trees.

Hi there. Any word on seeing this feature in a new “version 10”? I just did a bunch of searching and it looks like your customers have wanted this feature since 2013.

Thanks!
Pete

@Pete_d_Oronzio

As @Gary advised in his post above, the search for a folder new feature is planned in the upcoming V10 which according to forum user reports is due out next year sometime. No ETA though as to the exact date as yet.

So suggest to keep and eye on the the eM Client “Release history page” which will then have the new version once it’s released.

Okay. Thanks. Reinstalling Thunderbird…
BTW: I was prepared to write a plugin for this - but IIRC there isn’t a plugin API yet, is that still correct?

: I was prepared to write a plugin for this - but IIRC there isn’t a plugin API yet, is that still correct?

eM Client doesn’t currently allow / support any external plugins to be added to the program.

I have the same request that I submitted quite a while ago (having several hundred folders). I’m glad to hear it’s in the version 10. I hope will be released soon!
