Go to Folder
In Proton Mail's web application, I would like to go easily to a particular folder. Convenient ways would be:
- A 'Go to Folder...' shortcut (much like the very useful 'M' shortcut to move a message to a folder). 'Shift + M' is a natural candidate.
- When viewing a message listed in 'All mail', this message's folder icon appears (on the same line as the 'From' field, between the 'Star' icon and the 'time received'). Clicking on this icon currently folds the message, but it could instead offer me some actions such as 'Go to folder' or 'Move to other folder...'
I am trying to maintain a clean (i.e. empty) Inbox. So I usually view new emails in the 'All mail' section, with the 'Show: Unread' "filter" active. When I view a new email, it's usually been automatically moved by a Custom Filter to some folder, sometimes deep in the hierarchy. If I need to access that message's folder, currently the only way I know of is to click my way down that hierarchy on the left panel, which is cumbersome.

Yes, please.
I have around 100 folders. When moving a message to a folder, I can easily select the desired folder by typing a few letters of its name. But when I want to look at the contents of a specific folder, I need to scroll through a long list. I have them classed into sub-folders, but even scrolling through the list of folders within e.g. my Suppliers top
level folder is slow, tedious and error prone. (The interface to arrange sub-folders within a folder is drag-and-drop, which is too ponderous for my number of folders, so the top-level folder contents tend to be semi-randomly arranged.)p.s. I have exactly the same problem with categories, except that a quirk of the import process means I have even more of them.

As a minimum, please at least show in which folder the email is located.
