Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It takes quite some time to navigate trough all the folders and subfolders in the move dialog. Especially if you move certain mails trough the day to the same or similar folders.
Describe the solution you'd like
- It would be a great time saver, if there is a search textfield in the move dialog which gets the focus automatically when the move dialog opens. Then you can search for the folder name and the folder list filters itself as you type.
- Requirement: The search function must also filtering all of the subfolders, not only the first level, because otherwise it's not really helpful.
