Place message of new thread in Inbox

[bilogic]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I checked Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to so that all mails are kept in Inbox.
However, when it is a new message, they are placed in Sent.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have an option to move all messages in Sent to Inbox.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually moving Sent messages to Inbox

This sounds like a problem of your mail server and not SnappyMail.
As it works fine here.

So, if you click on "New message" and send your first ever email to me, it goes into your INBOX and not SENT? How do I make it go to another folder other than INBOX then?

[the-djmaze]

"New message" is not the same as "replies".
So check your settings for the system folders.

Thanks, I get it now. Perhaps it would be user friendly to add a hint at Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to.

[bilogic]

I'm not able to set my INBOX as the Sent folder (It's greyed out)

[the-djmaze]

Ah yes, i see what is happening here.
Will see if the restriction can be removed.
But keep in mind that other applications may not allow what you want.
I know that KMail of KDE in GNU/Linux OS can do what you want.

[bilogic]

well, i'm going all in on snappymail.. very unconcerned with other clients :) thanks!

Thinking of it, this will have issues in the GUI.
Since INBOX and Sent point to the same mailbox, the original Sent mailbox will not be listed.

I will mark this as a different kind of feature request.
As i think something else would be better:

• A selectbox in the compose window where you want to store the message

[bilogic]

Sure, as long as it files to the INBOX without me having to move it constantly. Thanks!

[the-djmaze]

Keep in mind that it will only work with the upcoming release v2.38.1

This is not perfect yet, but if you have some JavaScript skills you can modify the code of the plugin i just created.
For example replace

view.sentFolderValue(oldSentFolderFn());

with

view.sentFolderValue('INBOX');

Or check if there is a view.aDraftInfo[2] to store the reply in the same folder, else 'INBOX'.

view.sentFolderValue(view.aDraftInfo?.[2] || 'INBOX');

etc. etc. for the possibilities.

Admin -> Extensions -> "Send Save In"

[bilogic]

I propose adding some remarks for Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to as well. Will try a PR if you are ok. Let me know thanks!

[the-djmaze]

Sure go ahead!
