Save replies in same folder as original message

[cketti]

When replying to a message save the sent message in the same folder as the message that was replied to. Same for forwarded messages. This should be optional and off by default.

For an attempt at an implementation, see PR #1385.

This is my TOP 1 wish for K-9 Mail! Is there any chance this will be implemented?

Having this feature in K-9 Mail would be awesome :1st_place_medal:

Having said this feature is implemented in almost every other e-mail client I can think about.

Evolution

Thunderbird

Roundcube

Gmail

It does this as default (!).

I would really love this feature. Keeping my mail organized this way currently costs me 8 extra interactions per email sent (open folder list, choose sent folder, select sent email, select move from menu (2 clicks), select folder with the original email, open folder list, choose original folder) in K9 versus zero effort in my other email clients.

Thanks for mentioning it, and sorry, don't know why I didn't find this! Really would like to this this feature, as using both Desktop Client and mobile with same accounts, it makes it really hard sometimes to find mails...

@cketti What do you think of the proposal make in the duplicated #6573 ?
