It's not going to be done using the current Horde version. You could 
force a refresh of the sidebar, but there's no API to do it so it'd be 
a hack. If you look at something like DIMP, the sidebar is maintained 
completely client-side so all updates are instantaneous.

Those refreshes work fine. But I know users - they create a (virtual) 
folder, want to select it in the siderbar and if there isn't, call the 
hotline immediately. ;-)

This is definetly no show stopper, but would be what users expect. 
It's a nice-to-have and if it can be implemented easily, someone who 
knows the trick could do it.

It refreshes at an interval set in your preferences. If new folders 
don't show up on those regular refreshes, then there's a bug.

Ah, sorry. Yes, I am talking about the sidebar. Is there any specific 
reason why it is not refreshed after creating a new (virtual) folder?

Are you talking about the sidebar?  Because the folder navigation drop 
down contains the newly contained folder.



As far as the sidebar, we don't refresh it when creating any folder.   
For that matter, we don't refresh it when doing any folder altering 
action.  So if that is the issue identified, this has nothing to do 
with virtual folders.



Chuck, did you accept this because of the latter issue?

Creating a new virtual folder from a user defined search does not 
reload the navigation and thus the folder is noch listed unter virtual 
folders. Would be a great little feature to prevent confusion of the 
users.
