Hi,
I have been looking into adding an option for quick folder creation from the mail view. Something like adding a "create folder" option to the contextmenu plugin. I think I remember some talk about this a little while ago but I cannot find anything on the list. I think the UI would be similar to the one used for adding groups in the addressbook.
At the moment the folder creation functions are heavily linked into the folders settings page - sending AJAX requests to refresh it etc every time. My idea is to move the code to create and update folders into separate functions and then call those functions in save_folder.inc but also if would allow other things like plugins to reuse the code.
Is this something that is interesting to people and more importantly acceptable to the devs?
Thanks,
Phil

We have already some code implementing this provided by our partner. This however requires some polishing and is not ready yet. I hope this will be added before 1.0 release.

My idea was to rewrite all step-files into classes. So we can simply use the code in a cross-task way (and to simplify automated testing). We shoudn't extend rcmail class more. I don't think I'll have time to do this before 1.0.

Ah great. I guess thats what i heard about before. I'll wait until its ready for the core. Thanks!
