Hi Jarl,
thanks for your kind words. My answers, comments and opinions are below.
As usual, my position is subject to change, so if you don't agree with
my stance, please feel free and welcome to share yours.
1. Multple accounts
This is something which is being requested pretty often. I don't have a
use for this feature myself and prefer to concentrate on other areas,
but Thomas Lübking (who reads us through the list) has already expressed
interest in that, so this will probably happen. It's up to him to decide
when to start working on that (Thomas, please keep Jarl Cc-ed, he's not
on the list). But I definitely agree that this is a must for any serious
e-mail client, yeah.
Very next item once i don't have to worry about merge conflicts anymore.
But this month.
5. Sorting by date
If the server supports the SORT extension
Since he's using gmail: "no", but the mails are date sorted (the only
"nasty" thing is trojotá's queue ordering instead of stack ordering in
MVC, but that's minor and could be fixed easily with a config option)
If this feature was to work in absence of the SORT extension, one would
[...] There's a big tradeoff here, and I will prefer to have a serious
discussion before this gets implemented. It's dead easy to code in Qt's
MVC classes, but the implications are serious, IMHO. Opinions?
Having a gmail account myself, i'd still vote against it.
The absence of the the SORT (not to mention THREAD) extensions (or even
the <curse here> RECENT flag...) are kind of major defects in googles IMAP
support (esp. given i've now what? 1TB mail storage?) and should be fixed
there if they're serious about imap support.
Doing these things on the client (and on more than a few mails) in a way
violates the IMAP idea would take much of the lightweight character from
trojitá (eg. i hate that the very first thing TB does is to download my
10000 mails from gmail to index them - that's silly)
What could be interesting instead and to compensate those defects would be
simple selection by searching for current subject, sender, show mails of
certain time etc. - ie improve the searchline ;-)
Cheers,
Thomas
