I have never used that feature before to create a new folder that way. I usually create a new folder first with the standard Thunderbird commands and then start using it with Nostalgy. My shortcut to save an email to a folder is "r" due to "s" being predefined by Thunderbird on an English installation.
However, here on Ubuntu, TB115.7.0, Nostalgy 4.1.4, the steps all work as expected. With a first save command to a non-existing folder (test2 chosen as folder name), a dialogue opens to ask "Create new folder [test2] under
I have never created a new folder in the IMAP this way, but I do it regularly for local folder and it works as expected : using "S", the new folder is created and at the same time the message is moved. So this is perhaps a problem with creating the folder on the server, it perhaps takes more time and thus the message cannot be moved instantly ?
That is also my inkling: The creation of the folder on the server takes too long and hence the subsequent moving of the message fails!
I have no idea, how this is implemented, but if it were possible for Nostalgy to wait for the creation command to finish (either successfully or with a failure), that problem would be solved …
... => feature request: user selectable delay between creating folder and moving message
(here, it works as well, but my imap server is in tthe same local network)
If the IMAP server does not report back the successful creation of the new folder, it might be worthwhile to let Nostalgy try to move the message several time (configurable) with a (configurable) delay between the tries.
My IMAP server is accessed over a slow (mobile) network and might not be the quickest itself.
I experience similar between an account on a local imap server (fast access = folder creation working as expected) and an account on a remotely hosted imap server (mailcow.de) which fails (but creates the folder hence needs a second attempt to save, exactly as the original report states)
it seems that the new webextension side waits for the folder to exist, please try this: https://github.com/opto/nostalgy-xpi/releases/tag/v4.1.5
Oh, yes. Test on my (slow) remotely hosted imap server which failed in the past are now looking good! Great.
Many, many thanks, @opto! That works great. I can now save a message to a newly created folder on my (slow) IMAP server in one single step. Well done.
I want to save a message to an IMAP folder, which does not exist yet:
s
to save.Enter
.s
again.I would expect that the message is saved immediately after the new IMAP folder has been created.
I observed this behaviour now for a very, very long time, so it is not new the the latest versions, which are: Manage Email/Nostalgy++: 4.1.4 Thunderbird: 115.7.0
