Add intent to display mail from message-id #3774

Open Ekleog opened 5 years ago

Ekleog commented 5 years ago

Hello,

First, I have been reading this page to check the intents k9mail supports. If there is another page dealing with those, sorry for having assumed this one was the only one.

I was wondering whether it would be possible to add a way to open a mail by Message-ID in k9mail. This would allow programs like Orgzly to trigger this intent (is that the correct name? I'm not familiar with Android development at all) and thus support linking to mails to be naturally synced between computer and phone, which would be really great!

What do you think about this?

Cheers, Leo

Sounds great, actually, love the user case. Message ids are underrated.

This should be fairly simple to achieve, I think, but we are more than busy at the moment. Do you want to give it a whirl maybe?

I unfortunately am kind of busy too at the moment, will comment here if/when I find some time to start having a look at android programming!

This feels like functionality that shouldn't be K-9 Mail specific. How about using Intent.ACTION_VIEW and a mid: URI as specified in RFC 2392?

Would be nice to have this! Late to the discussion but wonder what's needed to get a move on it.
