In Gmail there is a nifty little feature where you can choose where you want to move a folder (or label as they call it) through a dropdown when you edit the label.

In ihasmail you can move a folder to another spot with drag and drop, but with a lot of folders it can take a while before i reach the spot.

There is an option to move a message to a folder (v) which almost does what i would like to see possible with the folders.

The search option in that popup is one of the best features imho!

I understand it's not a small request so hopefully you can re-use a lot of the move message code and apply it to the folders.
Love your work!

Thanks for the suggestion, and for the kind words!

This is now in main (#357) and will be in the next scheduled release. Every folder's menu has a new Move to… item, which opens the same searchable picker you use to move messages. There's also a Top level option in the list. On phones and tablets, where dragging folders isn't available, this is now the way to move one.

It turned out to be a small change, because all the pieces were already there: the picker, the move itself, and the checks that stop a folder from being moved into its own subfolders.
