Quick Filters and Email Actions

[kewisch]

🎯 The objective

The goal of this project is to allow the user to quickly filter the message list using certain message attributes.

Examples:

• Read state
• Star state
• Whether or not an attachment is present

🎒 Resources

• https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/5447 (some interesting notes)
• https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/8821 (interesting use case)
• https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/7324 (accessibility use case - explicit refresh button)

🦮 Rules of the Road

🟢 In Scope

• Subset of the quick filter actions you’d also see on desktop
• Bring more common actions in closer reach to the users's fingers.

🔴 Out of Scope

• TODO

Cross-Functional Tasks

🎨 Design

• Design message view actions
• User research on commonly used actions
• Competitive analysis

🤝 Support - Product

• Update SUMO articles as needed in case screenshots needs to change

For better accessibility I'd love to have back all action bar(s) back to the fingertips (#5447). This was one of the features that brought me to use k-9 in the first place 💔
