Feature request
- Filters
- Should be possible to have a CC filter in addition to TO
- Apply a new filter on existing messages (like Gmail)
- There is a nice UI to create the filter, but it can't apply to messages already received.
- Subscribe to iCal feeds
- MyKolab.com contact feature: there is a field for IM. Great! But there should be an option for Skype vs XMPP vs ...
- Contacts have a birthday field. Great! This info should appear in the calendar (a bit like a recurring yearly event)
- Archive button: It's there via Thunderbird and Roundcube. How to have this on mobile client?
Bugs
- Roundcube on mobile Firefox. threaded messages. Can't click the + to open thread
- Better detection of email validity (ask Marc for example)
Tweaks
- In Address book properties, the label "Superior book" is odd. Maybe "parent address book"?
Question
- How to change default settings for all users? Ex.: text email instead of HTML, start calendar on a Sunday, etc.
Default folders
If you want to configure Thunderbird.
Folder names need to be changed from the defaults to the ones used by Kolab & ActiveSync
Sent is used by Kolab & ActiveSync so let's just keep this setting in Thunderbird
Archive?
Trash?
Archives?
Draft? Test if sync works well
Spam?
Outbox?
Interesting features
- https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1382847?p=ib_protocol_handler&rd=1 cool!
- https://mykolab.com/clients/kontact
- http://wiki.kolab.org/Setup_ActiveSync (but doc is not helpful to punch in the right data)
- https://mykolab.com/clients/android is better
- Create a filter based on current message
Workarounds
Forwarding
MyKolab.com (The SaaS version of what you can run on your own servers) doesn't permit redirects to external domains. The workaround is to create an account forwards at example.org and to make filters. So all messages received to joe at example.org, sam at example.org, etc. are sent to forwards at example.org (A real mail account). Here, filters are used to forward to an external email address, and you can optional keep a copy of the message in a folder. By putting these two actions in the same filter, it serves to confirm that it worked. If you have messages left in the inbox, it means the filter didn't work. Do not use the "To" filter because it won't catch messages in CC or BCC.
