Description
In version 5.600 you can start from an opened e-mail and press letter M on a (physical) keyboard. It opens the list of folders. In this list you can immediately type the folder name and the list is filtered.
In version 5.707 you can’t filter the list of folders by immediately typing the name of a folder. You first have to select the filter icon in the bar. This breaks the support of keyboard shortcuts for the task of moving a mail to a folder, which is a very common task.
Android version: 6, Account type: IMAP
