About this Add-on
Allows to place a copy of sent messages into the currently active folder or any other folder you choose instead of the 'Sent' folder.
Useful, if your mails are presorted e.g. on an IMAP-Server, and you want answers to a mail be saved along with the original mail.
Additionally, a second copy can be saved to the 'Sent' folder or to any other designated folder.
This add-on is the successor to the 'Copy Sent 2 Current' add-on.
What's with 'Copy Sent to Current'?
This add-on is a reimplementation of the over 20-year-old add-on 'CopySent2Current' (without PWE). The old add-on integrated directly into Thunderbird, which is now only acceptable in exceptional cases. This add-on uses only the official application programming interfaces (APIs) and is therefore immune to Thunderbird updates.
If you have the old add-on installed, deinstall -- or at least disable -- it, before installing this add-on!Differences
- Due to the API's limited ability to modify the user interface, the appearance of the selection box has changed significantly.
- The Move original message feature for replies is available starting with Thunderbird version 147. It must be explicitly enabled.
- The setting Choose target folder after sending has been replaced by Remind me if I haven't selected a folder
- An additional copy can be placed in any designated folder instead of the Sent folder.
Using the keyboard
The add-on can be operated entirely with the keyboard.
- Ctrl/Alt/O opens the selection box (This combination can be changed in Thunderbird's settings (Tools -> Add-ons and Themes, the gear icon, 'Manage Extension shortcuts')).
- The function keys F1 to F3 allow you to make the corresponding selection directly, while F4 to F7 open the submenus or selection boxes.
- Folder names preceded by a digit are selected using the Alt key and the corresponding digit.
- Folder selection can be navigated using the arrow keys. Press Return/Enter to select.
- When searching for a folder, start typing. Then either select directly with Alt+digit or, for longer lists, use the Tab key to navigate to the results list, move with the arrow keys, and press Return/Enter.
- The functions Send with copy to Sent folder and Send without copy can be accessed directly using the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl/Alt/S and Ctrl/Alt/N resp..
