Default action for a filter to copy, instead of move

[montsaroffNoaa]

Currently, if one uses the filter assistant, the only choice is move, and if one changes that, one loses the selected folder.

At the moment moving mails is hardcoded into the new filter's behavior, but we could make this either a global option which could be shown on the template selection page, like this:

This would probably be the easiest way to implement this and it would remember the next time you use the filter assistant as these are global options.

Alternatively we could check whether you forced to copy the message (when you drag + drop while holding CTRL) - but that would not support the method of creating a filter from a mail via the context menu.

Please see: issue #77 for a permanent solution.

One thing that is currently not possible is to create a custom filter template that copies the message instead. when starting from quickFilters settings on the advanced tab:

• the problem is that you can currently only "real folders" as destination:

it would be good to have a new entry "current message location (from quickFilters assistant)". This would have to be a placeholder for the actual folder during moving / or when right-clicking a message and selecting "quickFilters: Create Filter From Message..."

Perhaps we could use this issue to track / effect this particular change for custom filter templates.
