Some of the features you seem to be interested in might already exist
in one way or another. 'How to achieve X?' questions are support
requests and it is best to discuss them first with other users and
developers on the users mailing list.

If you have questions about specific parts of the source code base and
hack on code, evolution-hackers@ is a possible venue.

Thanks,

Hi Milan, i am not familiar with the way how GNOME develop it's apps. I thought 
that hackers seem to be the one who do the programming stuff and take care of 
the code. And users are user who report bugs or propose new Evolution features. 
So could you please explain why sending it to the evolution-list would be more 
productive?

Hi,
there is something in-between. In Edit->Preferences->Composer
Preferences one can set Evolution to send messages through Outbox (the
only one related is On This Computer/Outbox). A suboption contains
Immediately, Keep in Outbox and Send after 5 minutes. It's not the same
as "@ [time]", I know, but it's close to it.

Anna, I think you would get more opinion on the subject when sending to
evolution-list, which is the list for the users, thus you can get more
information from people whom use and care of Evolution (I do not mean
hackers do not care of Evolution, errr, I hope you know what I mean). :)
Bye,
Milan

Honestly, I fail to see the point of that at all.  And - Evolution has
that feature, and has had that feature, for **AGES**.  It's a virtual
folder, no big deal, I could do that a decade ago [and proved, at least
for me, that I do not understand why someone would do that].

> - Snooze messages

I completely miss the point of that.  I can turn a message into a task,
and set a start-date.  If I care even less than doing that...

> - Send later

Send @ [time] would be somewhat useful.  Sounds complicate to implement
though.

The truly useful feature I see in these mail-meets-crm apps is the
automatic displaying the contact info [typically in a right-side pane]
of the "From:" match.  Especially if the notes field is displayed and
editable.   

It might be fun to try to hack that...  I wonder if simply emiting a d-
bus message when a message is opened would be easy [containing the
"from:"] ...

Your fork and complete rewrite is welcome. 
Just do it. :)

[Evolution-hackers] Support alternative concepts to organise mail communication?

[Anna Marei]

Wouldn't this be great?

Maybe in a way Nylas https://www.nylas.com/nylas-mail/  
https://www.nylas.com/nylas-mail/ now Mailspring https://getmailspring.com/ 
does?

E.g.

- Single, unified inbox

- Snooze messages

- Send later

or the possibility to realize something within Evolution like  
http://www.plainemail.com/

I guess (e-mail) communication has changed over the last decades. So why not 
overhaul Evoultions way of dealing with it? 

All the best!
