I have been trying to get my ex-wife to use Thunderbird to access her Yahoo mail as she's always complaining about its user interface. But one thing that is easy to do in Yahoo mail is creating folders and moving emails to them. She has about 50 folders so this add-on is a must. I do wish it would show the folders in alphabetical order and have options to not show the junk, sent and draft folders. So glad I found this add-on!

An absolute must-have extension, thanks so much for it!
I ran into the same bug on macOS Monterey with Thunderbird 91, the context menu does not work. However, the shortcuts from https://github.com/kewisch/quickmove-extension seem to work properly for me. :)

Extremely helpful Thunderbird add-on.
"Move to" seems not to work on 64bit Mac version of Thunderbird 91.2.0 ... ?
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
absolute productivity booster for keyboard affine people.
I use it several hundred times a day.
What I like the most is the speed.

Accelerates organizing mails (if you don't use automatic archiving). Perfect for keyboard masters.

Wow, I'm very impressed. Thunderbird upgraded to 91.1.2 (64-bit) yesterday and this Add-on no longer worked.
Today, I found it had been auto-updated and works again. It is *such* a useful app which allows me to move emails to folders efficiently and quickly.
Yay! I can feel a donation coming on. Thank you.

Created an account just to write a review of this. Add-on was updated very quickly to work with Thunderbird 91 and I really appreciate it.

This is an excellent add-on that saves so many clicks and time. Thank you you for keeping it up to date with the newest Thunderbird releases.

Works fine in v68, but is broken in v91, the currently available version on the Thunderbird.net homepage.

I delayed upgrading to newer versions of Thunderbird partly because the "Archive This!" extension was abandoned and no longer compatible with Thunderbird versions 78.x and beyond.
The "Quick Folder Move" extension provides welcome relief.
The ability to easily customize the shortcut keys for Move/Copy/Navigate actions along with the required permission for "Full access to the machine" result in a sub 5-star ranking.

Excellent, simple extension. My only problem is that the move to folder dialog does not accept the space character.

I was missing quick "move to folder" with filter field while coming back to Thunderbird from now discontinued Zimbra Desktop. Now thanks to this addon I have it, even the keyboard shortcut is very similar shortcut, so my muscle memory adjusted momentarily.
Excellent work!

I have literally been searching for a solution like this for years!!!
I often used Gmail to quick-sort emails and then moved back to Thunderbird to deal with the bulkier ones
This plugin saves all the trouble- - thank you

I had one feature wish (ignoring archive folders), and my wish was granted. So I’m updating my review now. :-)
I still have more (less important) feature wishes, so not perfect for me yet. https://addons.thunderbird.net/fr/thunderbird/addon/quick-folder-move/reviews/1162207/

This has improved my organizing workflow significantly. Being able to file messages with a few keystrokes rather than extensive mouse movements is a game-changer.

I don't want to take any users away from QFM, but Philipp implied on the Nostalgy github page that he is not updating or extending QFM right now.
Several users mentioned Nostalgy her in the reviews. Manage Emails/Nostalgy++ is finished for TB 78, even with some new actions, I will upload it to https://addons.thunderbird.net/de/thunderbird/addon/nostalgy_ng/ for review tomorrow morning. Review by TB team will probably take a few days.

@Philipp - If you think this message is in the wrong place, please feel free to delete it. I thought the note might help some power users with many folders and rules.

As others have commented, not as useful as Nostalgy, but Nostalgy doesn't work with TB 78 (which I was forcibly updated to). What's missing you ask? (glad you asked!) The ability to include folder dividers ('/') in the name. I have many "leaf" folders with the same name, let's say "house" is such a folder name. With Nostalgy, I can type 'Virginia/house' (or just 'ia/ho') and get the folder I want; or I can type 'Maryland/house' (or just 'and/ho' etc.) and get that folder. With QFM, I can either type the parent folder, or the daughter folder, but not both.
The UI also doesn't make it clear whether I'm moving or copying, which can be confusing.
