Hey everyone, I'm actually asking for help because i think it would be nice to have for sure!

Is it possible to store notes information in an external file (stored on NAS-Server for example or on imap server directly) and get those information into Thunderbird? I'm working with a small team & with thunderbird.. and notes inside those emails would be great to work with.

Hello!

You can configure QNote to store notes into folder. And then you can mount that folder as you wish - network share, NFS, DropBox, etc. Hope that helps?

Storing into IMAP is technically possible (or to be more specific - storing inside message headers) but rather cumbersome. I did not find a good IMAP/headers handling library for TB but there are some very low level functions to do that. However implementing this feature from such low level potentially would open a whole lot of can of bugs. Not sure I wanna go down that rabbit hole and not sure if that's even worth it :)
