Fixed Compose Mail -

• fixed issues and improved UI
• add recipients in To: input easily and manage.

Removed config appearance, but kept UI fixes from that PR. Cc and Bcc input remaining in compose mail.

• Added Cc and Bcc option in composer.

I wanted to make it like gmail, where cc and bcc are not shown by default and show when clicked, but will do it later.

I will work on reply feature first.

Alright, I will try to implement it as well.

I looked into it. This will be hard to implement, as It would need to be done differently than the composer already is. Will do it later.

I am ashamed to say that I want to hold this for some time and work on the other features for now. I am working on Files Section now.

In files section, there was something which was causing webui to crash, I have found the issue and working on fixing that. As well as, I am trying to implement a feature to view chunks in download progress bar.

It's perfectly fine to step away from one particular job for a while in order to let the ideas mature. Don't worry: when you come back to it, you'll probably fix it.

Reply Mail Finally working, along with some fixes.

• Optimized code for toggling Recipients view in Mail view, when large number of recipients.
• Replaced iframe which was used earlier with a contenteditable div so that message is viewed easily and in the future, image insertion directly in mail compose might be possible.
• Fixed order of Mail lists, now mails will not switch order when switching routes and coming back to them.
• And, made the mail popup close automatically using setState like functionality in React.

Here is a preview of Mail Reply.

Also, I had a query about How actual mail content is parsed or composed in Qt side? And, Need suggestions on correctly formatting the reply message conversation.

look here maybe useful for reply header/ quoted message: MessageComposer *MessageComposer::replyMsg(const std::string &msgId, bool all)

Sorry, I was busy buying PC components and assembling them. @csoler This PR can be reviewed.

I also wanted to discuss caching in webui for large set of data, I have so far researched and found out two methods which include using browser's sessionStorage or indexedDb api.

Since same data is fetched multiple times, we can store them for every session so that there are less number of requests for same data.

Caching sounds good! You could also look into localStorage API for more persistence.
