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 ...).
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
sounds more like a social problem then a technical touching the e-mails is a very very bad idea because you may break them what does it help DOWNLOAD the mails, hide them and touch them
you said "I would like to add a feature to my email-client" so why do you need to add headers to them? what has the server to do with this all and why would you touch the mails for this?
if the user is not ready to deal with mails -> close TB
