Search folder names when moving emails
When moving an email to a folder, I'd like to be able to start typing the folder name and then the folder appears. Useful if you have lots of folders.

when filing a mail, on iOS, it is possible to search for the folder to be used. not on Android. is it possible to be implemented as well?

I believe this is already an option on the Apple outlook app. When selecting to move an email allow us to search for the folder rather than scrolling through the list. For those of us with a large number of folders scrolling can take too long.

Please allow us the ability to search for the folder we would like to file our emails to by typing the name of the desired folder. This is good for Outlook users who have a long list of folders. This function is available in Outlook for iOS but not the Android version. What a shame!

when you click on "move to folder", a search box would appear which allows you to type the name of the required folder and navigate to it from there. The Nine app does this brilliantly. It also creates a list of folders that have recently had things filed in which speeds up filing. Also, the ability to open and close folders to see sub folders would be very helpful

While moving emails to folders, on folder list, if a quick search button is given, it will make things very swift. Else we have to keep scrolling. Maybe we can add last few folders accessed also on top!

When moving emails to a folder you should be able to type the name of the folder you want to move it to instead of scrolling through all. Folders should be suggested based on what you type. Also have the app remember what folders you use most often for certain emails and have it suggest folders when you select move.

Having to scroll through all the folders to move the email is VERY cumbersome. iPhone Outlook has a search bar at the top of the list of folders, VERY USEFUL.

Provide a search bar to find the target folder for moving an e-mail or finding a folder to open.

Currently, after performing a search you can only open or select one Email at a time. It would be very productive to all multiple Emails to be selected for organizing purposes.

When I go to move on existing email message from my inbox to another existing folder, I have to scroll through the entire list of all of my folders to find the right one. I would rather be able to type a few characters of the name of that folder and filter or search the list of folders down properly.

When selecting multiple emails and moving to other no popup appears as with individual emails so no rules are created. Why can a rule be made for each email in the list with the same popup option as for a single email?

currently have to scroll down list of folders each time I want to move an email. would be so much easier to have a window on top to type the first few letters into to be able to move one or multiple emails to that folder.

when you to move an email to certain folder and the list of folders is long, the need to scroll through all the list to find the right folder is cumbersome and inefficient. you need to add a way to search for the right folder by starting to type it's name and showing all the folders that matches the search till the relevant one is found.
