Support offline folders / keeping mail that is not present on mail server #1530

Open Photo678 opened 8 years ago

Photo678 commented 8 years ago

I'm an exchange user and have a quota on my mailbox account. As such I create folders that can live offline (on my mac). Would love to see this added in.

Also, saw that nested folders are an option, but can't get them to work on the latest version.

Thanks!

+1!!!

I'll give it a big +1 too. Ability to save emails and work offline is in my opinion one of the three main points of using an e-mail client (the other ones being using multiple accounts simultaneously, and consistent look and feel (a big plus for N1)).

Also, with this feature, it would be great to have an option to delete emails from the source server, preferably based on expirations criteria like "Delete locally-saved emails from the server if >2 months", and still being capable of accessing them from the local save. This would be very useful with e-mail services with pretty limiting quota, which is not such a rare limitation when looking for services that put emphasis on privacy and security.

Can we have this on the Trello, i.e., local save and ability to access saved emails, and remote deletion?

have to have. I cannot tell clients that I have their confidential emails safe when on servers that I cannot prove are properly protected and these sites' recurrent exposures to hackers proves out the many weaknesses in so many email server architectures.
I need to pull them here, to my system, to which I am held responsible, but at least I can encrypt these files and drives to ensure outside eyes cannot breach client data.

absolutely a must have feature. this is one of the main reasons i use a client vs browser interface.

Another request for this feature came in via support today: https://nylas.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/6319.

Thanks everyone for voicing support for this feature - unfortunately, we aren't planning to implement offline mailboxes, offline mail import, etc. The product roadmap for N1 centers around 1) email and document search 2) collaboration and 3) productivity features. Most of our target audience work at companies that already store their mail on secure cloud infrastructure (Exchange, Google apps for business, etc.) and are interested in really clean integration with SAML and LDAP, etc. We're always interested in outside contributions to the open-source project, and this would be a great candidate for anyone interested in sending their first PR!
