Hi, I would like to add a feature to my email-client (Thunderbird) which stops emails from showing up until a specific time (e.g. having buttons for: show again this evening, tomorrow, next week, next month ...).
yeah ,there are lot of nice new ideas with mail these days
As far as I've learned this is not possible with IMAP: problems especially with large emails
- storing the 'do-not-show-until-time' within a custom header-field requires down- and uploading of the whole email and therefore causes
- IMAP keywords are limited are limited in quantity and can not be compared with datetime functions
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
however some server coders will may include new features, that does not solve the client problem, the only existing free major cross os imap client recent is thunderbird, but i dont see mozilla willing to push more development in it. After all ,there is lot of "old" bleeding edge stuff for left implement in Thunderbird, before including new ideas.
