5 years ago MongoDB has been added for email persistence... but this is a pandoras box of issues.
--Upon changing session emit persistence emails to client to load into the inbox
--Refactor inbox to have a seperated state for persistence emails otherwise their inbox fills up each time a new user joins the same room
--When a user changes rooms clear the inbox array
--after an item is added to the db delete the file
At the moment the user only receives emails while they are connected to the site. Any email received before or after cannot be received by them.
Determine a timeframe and implement a way to retrieve emails for a user within that period. the simplest way I can think of is like this: set up a directory structure where email gets it's own directory
--/tmp/emails/ ---------------/emailaddress1 ---------------/emailaddress2
Using fs whenever the client emits an updated email load all the files in that directory as mailobjects and emit result back over the socket. *It might be handy to read the age of each file and if they exceed the thresh hold then delete them and skip parsing and sending.
