Idea: Attach note to email

mklose · 27 Mar 2003, 09:31 AM

My idea is the following:

In the view screen, allow you to add a little comment (200 chars or so) to a message, where you can write yourself a little note to yourself about that email.

Anyway, that is the idea.

How this could be implemented:

A user IMAP flag which includes a unique ID which translates to an ID in a SQL table, that has the following columns:

ID, MAILBOXID, COMMENT

where mailboxid is included for security reasons, so only if your account has access to that particular mailbox can you get the message (otherwise you would maybe be able to maliciously add an IMAP FLAG containing the ID of a message you do not have access to).

Seems interesting, tho' how 'bout first getting basic keywords like $Forwarded generally accepted across different IMAP server/client implementations?
