I've recently switched to Postbox 3 from Eudora, and QuickFolders has been a big factor in adjusting to the change. I find, in addition to a QF Toolbar and many permanent tabs linked to them, one feature I use a lot is Repair Folder, since I find that Smart Folders often need to be kicked a little before they re-update to current conditions. Repair Folder works perfectly for this, without having to switch to another tab and back.

What about a button on the current folder toolbar instead?

Ok I propose to put this button as optional into the current folder toolbar (which is central to the screen but above the preview in Postbox column mode). The additional advantage here is that I already have a listbox for the Current Folder Toolbar to add the option to, so I do not "overload" the Settings dialog with too many options.
Created an attachment (id=8247) [details] 4.6.1 prerelease 18 Adding the button in the current folder toolbar (center screen) Make this new button visible in QuickFolders Settings >> Advanced in the section Current Folder Toolbar. Making the Current Folder Toolbar always visible is highly recommended as it has some very useful commands right into center screen, such as: # Dragable current Mail(s) Icon # Recent Folder Button # Message Navigation (next unread, mark thread as read and jump) # Folder Siblings # Customize Icon # Filter Assistant # Mail Folder Commands Submenu # Repair Folder
Created an attachment (id=8248) [details] 4.6.1 prerelease 22 # Added icon in options dialog # added localisation in current folder toolbar to do: add localisation in options dialog.
Implemented in Release 4.7 - published 20/Feeb/2017
