Folder list does not "collapse" heirarchy

[nobody]

When you have a heirarchy of folders, there is no provision for collapsing them... I have a very long list and this is pretty important.

Great looking client.

That's more a feature request than a bug... but a must-have
feature for any mail client, I know.

And when this collapsing is inplemented it would be handy to
strip part of the name from the folder, so the named become
shorter. I now have this:

inbox
projects
projects.project1
projects.project2
projects.project3
projects.project3.urgent

etc etc...

Checkout the solution for bug: 1307935, it might be the
answer you were looking for.

Bumping this as a feature I'd like to see too. I have 300+ mail folders in my local imap store. :)

I must say this is VERY high on my wish list. I also have a TON of folders (at least 250), and the list is just freakishly long. Looking forward to some sort of dynamic tree view...

[steamshift]

I would have thought that this would be relatively easy to implement, using simple CSS / JS; if the folders that had children had an extra class attached to them called 'parent' or something, I could probably knock something up pretty easily.

I don't know how it looks like ATM, since I didn't find the changeset. Just wanted to let you know of a nice example for css folding at max design:

Just a pointer to a forum topic about this issue -> http://roundcubeforum.net/forum/index.php?topic=1436.0

I've done 2 versions of expand/collapse:

1 - Session Only Folders remember their open/closed state for the duration of the session. http://download.recurser.com/roundcubemail_r507_session_only.tar.gz

2- Database Folders store their open/closed state in a new DB table ('folders') so they can maintain state between sessions. http://download.recurser.com/roundcubemail_r507_with_new_table.tar.gz

Again a feature I'd endorse, and the number 1 feature I'm looking for atm for roundcube.

With the collapsible folders it also become necessary to have new messages in sub-folders displayed on the parent folder, since much of my mail is sorted automatically by the server.

I'd envision something like

Folder 12 <i>(4)</i>

To indicate 12 new messages in the Folder, and 4 new messages in sub (and sub-sub) folders.

A loosely related issue (presentation of the folder list) is the width of the folder list sidebar. I would like to see this width be user settable, either with a click/drag-able divider, or with a 'personal setting' option. The depth of hierarchy of my folders makes the titles of many of them unreadable in the present arrangement, and worse, I can't see the numeric indicator of number of new emails in each. Otherwise, very nice UI!

#1484618 is a dublicate of this.

This feature is also among one of my top features, and I'd like to extend the feature in the following way:

Personally I don't like 'unsubscribed' folders not being displayed in the folder list at all. It would be nice to have them displayed, but possibly in sort of a 'disabled' style.

[jody]

This feature rates quite high on my wish list, too!

I updated the session only expanding collapsing to the latest svn release 1192

Just spotted this as it seems related to a problem I was having. The code that generates that tree structure can consume an awful lot of resources for big directory trees:

Perhaps ought to have some bail-out code before building the tree if a big list comes in?

Milestone 0.1.5 deleted

[padde]

I really hope this feature will make it into 0.2-beta - its absence makes RoundCube unusable for users with big folder structures (I'm not talking about 200 or 300 folders, but more like 10000 deeply nested folders here).

I agree -- this is one of only two issues keeping us from moving all our users to RoundCube.

Please test attached patch (and images) against current (r1684) revision.

[Inferno]

Patch installed and looks perfect in Firefox 3.0.1 and konqueror 4

Excellent work

[robin]

Done in r1687. Thanks for testing.

Confirmed to work in FF win/lin, konq4, safari mac/win and ie7.
