Customize Swipe Actions

[emorikawa]

Left-to-right (short): Archive

Left-to-right (long): Trash

Right-to-left (short): Snooze

Right-to-left (long): Move to folder/list

You should also be able to customize snooze times.

You should also be able to disable swiping

Also, please add the ability to disable swipe actions. I want to turn them off because I do not use them.

In addition please remove the dependency that currently exists in General settings, "Use backspace / delete to move messages to Trash" that is linked to Mailbox swipes that is a binary either/or Archive/Trash (both should be available)

Sidenote: A plugin or preference-pane that allowed one to swipe using the cursor + drag (as opposed to trackpad events) would be greatly appreciated!

[emorikawa]

There's definitely interest to either by default or an option enable clicking and drag swiping. This could be an additional option.

[squintgit]

Using trackpad worked well in Mailbox, but when I'm on my computer, I prefer to click and drag to "swipe". Holding down Option could let you drag the message to a folder if you wanted. If there's ever a Nylas mail app for iOS, people will get used to how it works on there and will find themselves wanting to drag emails around less, I bet.

You should also be able to customize what swiping does what action...

[HammyHavoc]

Seconding being able to customize swiping, everybody has different tastes and needs. Customizing per account would also be nice, as some accounts I just want everything to go straight into trash, or I want a flag instead of snooze.

I think swiping left/right is too sensitive. Quite often when I try to scroll up and down I end up jiggling the message left and right and need to try 2-3 times to actually initiate scrolling.

[hmiranda-ns]

I would like to change the behaviour of the swipes. Specifically because I have Gmail and Exchange accounts. I like to mark my emails as "Done" but Exchange doesn't have that feature, so I would like to move the emails from "Inbox" to a folder "Done". So I would like to swipe them to the folder in Exchange as with Gmail. Right now it moves it to trash which is the opposite of what I want haha.

One more request for this came in via support today: https://nylas.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/7039

[kraem]

Yes please! Let us disable the swipe gestures 👍

[JannikZed]

Something new on this issue? Swipe gestures on my mac are just horrible.. In 70% of the cases I'm not scrolling but swiping left or right.. It's so insensitive!

[andredalbuq]

Hey everyone. Any news on this? I am using Mailspring on a daily basis but still can't get over years of muscle memory on some gestures.

[jerm]

There isn't likely to be news, as NylasMail is no longer under development.

Talking the Mailspring folk into implementing this feature is your best bet.

Ah, I see. I will have to maybe try and talk with them. Thanks!
