Email missing from Salesforce Org Browser preventing retrieval

[SewellSFAdmin]

Summary

Following the recent update it seems that the 'Email' component folder within Salesforce Org Browser is missing 'Email'. Previously when a new email template is created or an existing one updated we would be able to retrieve the updated template there into Source Control before committing the change. As this is missing we are unable to retrieve these.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Ensure you are connected to Default org (QA/Preprod)
2. Refresh Main/Staging dependant on which environment you are trying to deploy to
3. Go to Salesforce Org Browser and look for 'email' folder
4. Folder is missing
5. Additionally, locate 'Email Templates' this is only showing 'unfiled$public items with a greyed out refresh icon showing to the right side of it

Expected result

You should be able to locate 'Email' folder within Salesforce Org Browser and if expanded your email template folders should be visible. below these would be the email templates within each folder. You should be able to retrieve these.

Actual result

Email folder is missing from Salesforce Org Browser

there's not a metadata type called email, right? in your project, you'll probably see a folder called email where that stuff gets retrieved to, but the OrgBrowser is organized by metadata type per the metadata API.

Additionally, locate 'Email Templates' this is only showing 'unfiled$public items with a greyed out refresh icon showing to the right side of it

That's because the API won't let you retrieve "foldered" types (report, dashboard, email templates) by * . You have to retrieve them by folder. So open up unfiled$Public and you'll either see folders or templates that you should be able to retrieve.

Morning,

Our templates are still not there. Example of how this looked previously, we were able to retrieve emails from the 'Email' folder as shown in changed files from a previous release branch:

This is what we see under unfiled$public, these are not our folders or templates for classic email templates that we use internally.
