Thank you very much for this very useful and powerful add-on!

There is currently only one feature that I would like to see improved.

I have a local folders hierarchy with many sub-folders (which doesn't create problems) but with several hierarchical levels, typically:

Local Folders

  • Family
    • Fred
    • Joyce
    • ...
  • Friends
    • Ann
    • Mary
    • ...
  • Purchases
    • Amazon
    • Bookshops
    • ...

The behaviour is fully correct for "Local Folders", "Fred", "Joyce", "Amazon", etc. but not for "Family", "Friends", "Purchases", etc., for which I get 0 messages. Formally, this is true as there are no messages directly in these folders, but what is needed is an option to rather get the statistics of their sub-folders.

Thanks in advance!

You're welcome, glad you like this add-on 😊

So if I understand correctly: You are on the stats page and select a folder in the filter area. For this folder, you want to see stats of all messages in the folder itself as well as all messages of all subfolders. I could think of an additional add-on option to handle the folder filter recursively. Would that solve your issue?

Note: Next time when reporting bugs or features, please use the offered template content. It's there for a reason (e.g. it heavily reduces the need for follow-up communication/questions to nail down the real issue). Thanks 🙏🏻

Thank you very much for your quick reply. Yes, you correctly understand my suggestion! This is of course the behaviour for the "Local Folders" root itself, but this will be very useful to have an option for that for intermediate levels when we manage a hierarchy of sub-folders.

P.-S. My apologizes for the template not used. I note it.

Alright, I see when I have time to implement this.
