Subfolders?

Open HyperCriSiS opened this issue 11 months ago • 9 comments

Hi,

I created new folders with subfolders, but the subfolders are put into the root level. With every folder on the same level, there's zero overview and the mailbox is kind of unusable :-( Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks Hyper

ProtonMail doesn't support subfolders, so no.

ProtonMail doesn't support subfolders, so no.

Actually it does. I tested it with the official bridge and it works there. With the beta version even creating folders is possible. Tested with Thunderbird.

It is possible since mid 2021 in proton mail directly. I don't know since when in the bridge.

Eh, my bad, wasn't aware of this.

Yep, I'd also like to see this feature supported :)

@emersion I'm thinking of doing it but I'm wondering about the design changes we want to make while implementing this.

Proton bridge expose labels under Labels/ and folders under Folders/ (to avoid collision and expose labels as virtual folders), do you think we should align with it ?

I think it would be best to align with this implementation. If people use both bridges or switch, it would be an issue, not? 🤷‍♂️

Labels are exposed via IMAP flags in hydroxide, not separate mailboxes.

I don't think hydroxide needs to follow what the official bridge does, no.

Awesome work, I'm new to hydroxide and it seems to become a reliable alternative to the protonmail-bridge (which only works when paying and therefore exposing some part of privacy).

After setup I've noticed send mails are not stored in "Sent" folder and Thunderbird (my desktop mail client) complains about some strange error. I think it has to do with the mail-backend (=hydroxide) as I don't have that issue for regular imap accounts.

Has this to do with this issue/task regarding subfolders or is it a new issue? Can somebody approve this isn't working?
