This enhancement request is almost 2y old and has not ever had a single

My 0.02 = why make a mobile version for an email client bloated??? That's
why you have an desktop mail client, like Thunderbird or Outlook. A mobile
mail client user, on the other hand, wouldn't need to create new folders
regularly on a day-by-day basis. It's a feature that is needed
occasionally, but not everyday. Let's continue to keep that in mind when
choosing new features to add to K9. Let's not get carried away with so
many bells and whistles that it slows down the performance advantage as a
mobile tool.

I am a new user and would appreciate clarification regarding folders. The
K-9 that I recently loaded on Droid-X, has 3 folders: inbox, outbox, and
trash. Is there any way to add any additional folders?
Thanks for your response.

1st I enjoyed outlook on win moble, the only thing I liked. In todays age,
we are now tied to our phones, tabs and/or whatever that does not require
use to sit at a desk. On the go connected to the airwaves. In saying that
having the ability to create folders to organize the numerous emails will
not bloat the program but make it more user friendly and also give those of
use that don't just email as a form of communication but as a way of living
and connect to clients and professionals, a way to keep track. Having to
look though an entire inbox is cumbersome when looking for references or
what ever. We could always do this on our desktops but we have to be there
to do it. This should move up on the priority list.

Comment #20 on issue 162 by br...@uniteddiamonds.com: Need ability to

Why not setup multiple folders on your mail server. I don't see the
critical advantage of having the ability to add and delete folders multiple
times throughout the day. I handle and organize many emails everyday and
couldn't imagine wasting the time needed to create and delete multiple
folders. It's much more efficient to create a group of folders to cycle
through and move emails to those folders as needed. Also there's a 'star'
feature that is very useful for marking important emails. K9 also allows
some sorting of emails by stars. One could take it a step further and keep
emails as unread as reminders to review them later.

The point is that there are many methods we all adopt as our efficient
organizing preferences, but many of us, in fact the majority of us, do not
organize our emails by multiple folder creations throughout the day. You
might want to try a better mail server platform that offers more features.
Gmail is one of many excellent choices. Plus you can use filtering rules to
help you remain organized throughout your day.

Please don't insist on bloating this awesome mobile mail client and slow
the rest of us down...the majority.

Not certain this how commentator decided he/she held the majority viewpoint
or garnered the authority to speak for same, but he/she fully misunderstands
the feature being discussed. I am not contemplating the creation and
deletion of folders throughout the day. That would, indeed, be silly. I am
looking for the ability to create permanent and semi-permanent folders for
the storage of emails that are not to be deleted and the ability to move a
particular message from one folder to another (e.g., a folder entitled "K9
Improvement Suggestions" to store emails pertaining to this very subject).
I want to get messages out of the Inbox, but not just to Trash.. Currently,
if you inadvertently delete an email that you actually wanted to keep, you
cannot even move it back out of the Trash to some other folder, not even the
Inbox.

There is no danger of bloat. Further, you always have the option of not
using the feature once it is created. I would never be so presumptuous as
to even hazard a guess as to what all the other K9 users prefer or who
comprises the "majority". And, I certainly would never use this forum to
attempt to profess those unknown positions, of those unknown users, fully
without authority, on their behalf..

Not bloat. I like to keep thousands of email on my phone, searchable and

leads to an unmanaged inbox. I agree with Comment 17.

+1 for the need to be able to create folders. Mobile e-mail clients are for
those of us who do not get to our desktops for long periods of time. When
we do get to the desktop it would be nice if the e-mail we had received in

It is short sighted to say there is no need for this on mobile. Those of us
who work for telecomm friendly companies know the importance of being able
to have full access on the go. This feature would be high priority on any
corporate environment and even more so for the telecomms. It is necessary.
It should not be neglected. I would push this app throughout my entire

Developers shouldn't tell users how to use the tool. Developers must make a
tool that works the way the users need it to. If people need the ability to
have more folders, DO IT. Don't tell them to use the app the way you do.
They have different use cases than you. If you don't want to help solve
their problems why are you doing this? Only for cash or glory? And BTW
people are posting on the bug tracking system because you are ignoring it
elsewhere, and people need... NEED this feature. I am here. For the same
reason. Address the issue, or make sure on your features list that it is
spelled out that you won't support new folders or you will get more of
this. People use and want this and you can't go telling them how to use
their phone. Or tablet. Regards. -

Several reasons for me to retain email in a separate folder on the phone
other than 'inbox' - as others have said, I absolutely need mobile access
to my old emails (and currently keep them in the 'trash' - a ridiculous
solution, because I don't need to keep all of my old email and would like
to be able to trash them - we need separate folders because the app runs
very poorly with a lot of email in the inbox and I don't retain email on my
service's server. I save, backup and organize my email at the client. I
would add that folders should be searchable... Thank you!

Yes it is true you can change settings to IMAP and achieve folder creation
indirectly but POP works better for some users. I found out about Maildroid
app on another forum and it indeed allows folders to be created while
configured as POP so i have uninstalled K-9. It was good while it lasted
but I had to move on.

it works just fine for IMAP folder creation as well as local folders for

For me this is very important. How anyone manages with thousands of emails
in a single folder I cannot imagine.

So WHEN is POP3 local folder creation/deletion + ability to move emails
between them and from Trash going to happen? The relevant email account is
not gmail, so sync with it is no solution (in fact, would be a problem!)

If it isn't soon, I'll be on the lookout for a different app.

This is a joke right?

As of now - k9Mail version K9 4.317 and the stable 4.2 - k9mail is not able
to move mails.
So, what is the point of creating folders if you can not move any mails
into the folders?

As of now, k9Mail does move mails, it can move them to the Deleted folder.
So why can't it move them to any other folder that I create?

This is still important.

Thanks, Patricia

In going through all the comments, back to the very firsat one in 2008, the
same 1 or 2 comments appear with some frequency. They are setting up
additional folders and having the ability to move emails. I downloaded K-9
a little over a week ago and I find this issue extremely frustrating. DO
YOU HAVE ANY PLANS TO FIX THIS?

This would be a very useful feature. If folders aren't coming, then maybe a
way to save email messages to the file system would suffice. Having to
keep all currently useful emails visible in the inbox is not very
practical. Folders would be the best option, even if it was something like
temp that had some auto cleanup time.

I'm absolutely shocked that adding folders and moving mail is not included
in this app. I make reservations at hotels and want to keep the
confirmation e-mail until the trip is over, but can't move it to a "saved"
folder. How about adding a "saved" folder and an option to move to the
saved folder from the inbox or deleted folder?

I also need to keep saved emails, and I like to keep my inbox clear. I
usually have several sub-folders to split information, especially for
projects.
I concur with #38 that it's not appropriate to tell users how to use a
product, but OTOH I don't remember paying for it. We all have different
ways to use stuff, for example, I don't like and don't use a unified inbox.
However, I can't imagine that this could be difficult to implement (folders
coding must already be in place), so I'm as baffled as anyone else here
that it's not included.

I've just realised how long this has been going on with no progress. It
doesn't suit me the way it is, so I'll just find another email client.
Also, I cannot for the life of me find a contacts list. It's fundamental
stuff to keep a record of contacts, otherwise I have to firstly remember
them all, and secondly type it in manually, with the attendant potential
for errors.
To me, K9 is not finished, and it looks like the dev isn't interested.

Another android fail. Something that has been requested for years that is
simply ignored. One more issue that is a feature, because, hey youu can use
this and that and this and that and this or those and get something like
what I use, so shut up youu guys.

None of the email clients do this simple thing without having to change
everytyhing outside of android.

almost 2014 and I cannot set up a simple folder system and move mails or
spam filters on an android that is more powerful than the damn pentium I
used which had outlook express that could do all of it.

That's astonishingly sad.

I really find myself in need of multiple folders as my inbox is 460+ MB in
size, with over 1000 messages, and it is terribly slow on my phone and the
app devours my battery. Not only can I not create folders in any way but I
find that I can't even get the messages off the phone (no mass forward,
don't know where they're stored on the phone) to remedy this issue.

I just stopped using it back in 2013 when I discovered this hole in the
program and won't bother again. With an updated phone and new Android
version, the newer default email client is fine, it's simple and allows me
to manage my emails. I have no clue what's going on in the K9 devs heads.
Maybe they are just amused by this.

In v5.001 (previous versions similar) from the inbox of an account --
[Menu]/[folders]/[menu]/[refresh folder list]
will recreate folders already set up on the server

[Select messages]/[folder icon]/[select folder]
will move mails to a folder

#45 ashleywillis76 has implemented folder creation with IMAP, I don't see
whether this has been merged into the main branch

You _can_ move messages into folders, but folders have to be created
outside K-9.
