Re: [Dovecot] Defer emails until the user is ready to deal with them (snooze button / bring-forward file / bring-up file for emails)

Hi, I would like to add a feature to my email-client (Thunderbird) which stops emails from showing up until a specific time (e.g. having buttons for: show again this evening, tomorrow, next week, next month ...).

As far as I've learned this is not possible with IMAP:

• storing the 'do-not-show-until-time' within a custom header-field requires down- and uploading of the whole email and therefore causes problems especially with large emails

sounds more like a social problem then a technical touching the e-mails is a very very bad idea because you may break them what does it help DOWNLOAD the mails, hide them and touch them

you said "I would like to add a feature to my email-client" so why do you need to add headers to them? what has the server to do with this all and why would you touch the mails for this?

if the user is not ready to deal with mails -> close TB
