Hi, this changed behavior is a result of an enhancement request to always expand all folders (to not derive folder expand state from the current view), in order to be able to access any folder while using type-to-search. It's because collapsed folders cannot be accessed with type-to-search. There's always a chance a user makes a mistake, like here, selecting an incorrect folder, but it's something the software cannot address in 100% cases. I'm not sure I understood your work flow properly. Say your folder structure is something like this: On This Computer Inbox Archive Mail 2010 Mail 2011 Mail 2012 Mail 2013 ... Other Account OtherMails ... When you open the Copy/Move message to, all the structure is expanded and in order to select "Mail 2012" you type "mail", which will move you probably to the "Mail 2010". Either you can continue typing to specify the folder name precisely, or you can press arrow up/down, to cycle between folders with the typed string in their name. That can move you down to OtherMails in the Other Account, skipping all folders not containing the "mail" text in their name. It's (sometimes) quicker than grabbing the mouse and use it to select a different folder. Do you use that, or rather not? Similarly, if you know a folder near the other folder you cannot recall the name for, then you can type the name, cycle to it with arrows, then press Escape key, which will close the "type-to-search" panel, after which you can use arrows to move up/down from the selected folder. I find this more useful when opening a file (which gtk3 currently doesn't support, only gtk2 supports it). I believe there are ways to speed up productivity with current behavior. I also understand the "habit-factor" (which is a strong player here, on my side).
