Hi everybody, Many email features in OpenERP7 are interesting and useful to follow-up on many objects (even though not absent bugs or issues). Nevertheless we tried to start using OpenERP as full corporate email client for a company and we experimented a real suffering due to lack of usability for very simple functions. Not expecting google mail in OpenERP we actually did find out that basic functions are not even present, making it impossible the daily usage of OpenERP as corporate mail (meaning OpenERP fully replacing any other mail client). Here are the functionalities that we missed out of the box: - no possibility to cc/bcc when sending a mail - no possibility to know who are the "followers" (the sending company can eventually check the OE but the receiving customer has no way to know whether his colleague have been informed). - No possibility to save a draft of an email - No possibility to forward an email - No possibility to create an OE object from a received email ("I received a job position application in my personel mail and want to create an applicant out of it") - ckEditor is overly simplified (why not used standard ckEditor?) - No html signature. - No email list view for the users (similar to preview list in any webmail). Calendar View could be interesting as well. - no batch processes to "read/unread" emails (or trash/archive them) . So here are my questions: - I have checked v8 and could not see any visible improvements compared with v7: is there anything more we can expect or is the current interface to be expected to stay similar in the future? - Are there out there other partners/customers willing to invest in improving the ergonomic of OpenERP for the emailing system (again getting it a simple but reasonable webmail interface)? - Are there some existing modules that could be gathered in a community launchpad project? Looking forward to reading you - --
