Technical plugin name is contextmenu_folder.

This plugin can be useful for users who want to work efficiently with large number of mailboxes or imap folders (anywhere form few hundred to few thousand folders).

Plugin contextmenu_folder provides context menus for the following folder operations:

• create/delete/rename/locate mailbox imap folder
• apply mailbox tree view filters, grouped in categories: [active, favorite]
• where each category uses filter selectors from: [unread, special, selected, transient, predefined]

Filter selectors support these features:

• unread : this filter finds mailboxes with unread messages
• special : will include special imap folders: [inbox, drafts, sent, junk, trash]
• selected : represents folder collection which can be selected/unselected into by the user
• transient : based on automatic folder collection, which tracks created/deleted/renamed mailboxes
• predefined : static user-defined list of mailbox folders, which is more "permanent" then selected
