SavedSearchInSubFolders 1.3 Requires Restart
by ju1ius
This addon allows virtual folders (saved searches) to automatically process all subfolders of their selected target folders.
The search targets are updated automatically whenever a new folder is added, or a virtual folder is updated.
About this Add-on
The search targets are updated automatically whenever a new folder is added, or a virtual folder is updated.
This does not apply to the Inbox folder, as it contains all other folders, including folders that are usually irrelevant for saved searches (Trash, Junk, etc...).
This is especially useful when using saved searches along with the archiving feature.
Please report issues on the GitHub page.

In theory a great tool...
We have been using it to automatically update our virtual unified inboxes and sent folders over different accounts and growing user subfolders. But we keep having problems with our virtual folders now either showing no mails at all (this happens mostly in virtual folders of "sent items") or duplicate mails showing (apparently while updating subfolders the plugin checks parent folder AND all subfolders)...
Deactivating the tool solves those problems immediately.
Unfortunately we now have to update new folders manually again...

Please add an option that allows to add leaf folders (the folders that actually contain messages, not those containing further subfolders) only.
Otherwise, one get's tons of "Mailbox doesn't exist" errors on some IMAP servers (i.e. dovecot).

Simple and very useful.
I have many subfolders and use the addon to search messages with the tag: "to do".
