Description nw9165-3201 2014-05-25 21:53:24 UTC
Dear Claws Mail developers,

when using the following settings for example:

Menubar -> View -> Thread view (Ctrl+T)
Menubar -> View -> Sort -> by...
Menubar -> View -> Sort -> Ascending/Descending

Claws Mail sets them for the currently viewed folder only (and not for the other folders).

So those settings have to be set for every single folder and for every new folder, even if a users wants to have the same settings for every folder and every new folder.

IMHO this gets annoying quickly.

So, could you please add an option to apply the current view to other mail folders?

Outlook 2010 for example has such an option ("Apply Current View to Other Mail Folders..."), see the following pictures for example:

https://support.appriver.com/KB/a630/outlook-2010-how-to-set-view-for-all-folders.aspx

It's a very nice option IMHO.

Could you please add it to Claws Mail?

It would be much appreciated.

Regards

This is a dangerous option in my opinion. This is why we don't have it.

It may be annoying but it is a one-time operation.
