Possible, but only in our own mailbox/message cache in the database. The problem about that is that we sometimes have to clear it (UIDVALIDITY change for example), so this is tricky to keep persistent.

ChristophWurst commented 3 years ago

Now that we have persistent tags we can re-evaluate this feature. There could be a special tag convention like $nextcloud-project-42 that links to a certain project. We'd have to check how globally unique project identifiers can be, so that the same imap account on two nextcloud instances also shows something meaningful for example.

Or maybe declare a given prefix (e.g. nc) of any tag as reserved for Nextcloud. This way Nextcloud can create arbitrarily nested namespace hierarchies of tags (e.g. nc1:mail:mytag), do changes to the scheme in the future (e.g. nc2:msg:mytag because email will be deprecated in favor of whole-universe-scale communication platform based on chips implanted in each of us :smile:) and at the same time guarantee uniqueness of tags beginning with nc).
