Problem with +tag in the title when using fetching from a mailbox #10

Hi @bishoy-magdy

After some tests (and unless I'm mistaken), it seems that tags are not correctly supported in the title when using the option to retrieve all new messages from a mailbox rather than from a particular address.

Hi @bepolymathe

A big thanks for testing the plugin.

Honestly, this isn't an issue. I've already prevented the use of @ or # in the subject or first line in mailbox monitoring, which means it adds folders or tags by using the @ or # syntax when only monitoring a specific email account (You can only, in this case, edit the subject or first line of an email). This is because the mailbox monitoring feature is for users who don't want to use forwarding or monitor a specific e-mail, so it just fetches new or unread messages from the specified mailbox and puts them in the folder that the user-specified.

I understand your point of view. Let me explain my use case. I have two main emails. One professional, one personal. I have a third address to which I forward the pro or personal emails that need it. For example, I would like to transfer pro mail by passing the "pro" tag. I would find it useful... but I can live without it.

This sounds like a great idea, I will mark it as a feature, but this feature will only work when monitoring only the inbox because that's the only place where the new message will be!

Do you think +folder support in the subject while mailbox monitoring is also useful if the user wants to map the note to more than one folder?

That’s fine !

I'm not sure that's necessary...
