User Story Inspiration

2021

User Stories that were implemented in our iteration:

• Offline Mode
  • reading, flagging and moving emails now works offline
  • changes are synchronized when the user is online again
  • the title bar of the FolderDialog now displays the time of the last successful synchronization
  • FolderDialog now can be opened without login (which is only necessary to update emails)
• Improving the usability of the address book
  • contacts names are displayed
  • contacts can be added or deleted
  • you can sort contacts by name and mail address (also in reverse order)
  • introducing more intuitive symbols for the buttons

User Stories that we (together with the customer) decided not to touch:

• changing the standard color of the window to blue
• displaying the currently selected email in the same window as the email overview (Outlook/Thunderbird-like)
• selecting the first email in a folder on opening the folder and adding arrow key navigation
• adding (three) buttons for moving mails to favourite folders

2020

User Stories that were implemented in our iteration:

• Adressbook that reads the adresses of senders automatically
• The search bar now shows the number of results
• You can sort the mails by any attribute (flags, sender, topic,...) also in reverse order
• Adding multiple accounts now works flawlessly

User Stories that we (together with the customer) decided not to touch:

• A Thunderbird-like UI
• Sending Emails (this is an IMAP Client, not SMTP!)

2017

• More basic IMAP features like deleting and moving emails between folders.
• More advanced IMAP features like Read/Unread, Priorities and BCC/CC.
• Improve compatibility with different servers. For instance, when retrieving emails from vfemail.net, the body (in the current implementation) is always empty.
• UTF-8 support.
