Save emails to Nextcloud Files

Open MG2R opened this issue 8 years ago • 12 comments

It would be nice if I could save a copy of an e-mail (and its attachments) in my Nextcloud files. Is this an enhancement the mail team can get behind?

Dup of https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/issues/249#issuecomment-346701718

Unless I'm reading it wrong, #249 is about saving mail attachments to Nextcloud automagically.

My issue is about saving a copy of the mails (i.e. the text + its attachments) to Nextcloud. Most interested in the text, as I can already save attachments to Nextcloud. Doesn't seem to be a dupe.

Yes, that is indeed a slightly different feature request.

Maybe as a bit of extra info: my use case for this is that I keep my entire paperwork digital. When I get letters, I scan them and throw them out. In the same way, if I mail (for example) the water company, I like to keep a copy (in PDF or otherwise) in my directory of digital paperwork.

I installed From Mail: I did exactly like here: https://github.com/nextcloud/files_frommail/blob/master/README.md

Why Nextcloud use ../20180731/... when there is the last one 20190902 ???? and there mailparse.so exist.!!!!

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'mailparse.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20180731/mailparse.so (/usr/lib/php/20180731/mailparse.so: undefined symbol: mbfl_convert_filter_flush), /usr/lib/php/20180731/mailparse.so.so (/usr/lib/php/20180731/mailparse.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) at Unknown#0

I don't know. Why not report the issue in the repository of the app?

This feature would be awesome. Are there any plans for implementation?

No, no plans

As an Addition to this feature request it would be great if the E-Mail could be saved as an eml-file to the nextcloud files. Options for the function Save Mail (eml-file with attachments in the eml-file) Save Mail+Attachments (eml-file without attachments + attachments as own files) Save Only Attachments

What would be a fair bounty for such a feature?

we don't do bounties anymore. use https://help.nextcloud.com/c/nextcloud-freelancing/48 or get a nextcloud subscription.

Some news on this one ? Archiving emails (and attachments) with other files of the same project on Nextcloud Files makes sense. Combined with EML Viewer App, it would become a good workaround for the lack of personal/local folders (.PST in Outlook) on webmails.
