WorkMail webapp: Creating rules from messages

Question

Hi there,  
  
The WorkMail webapp is generally very nice, but it seems to lack one feature that I'd expect in most modern mail clients: Quickly creating rules from received email, like "Move messages from " or "Move messages containing ", stuff like that.  
  
Do you have any plans for adding that, and possibly a timeline?  
  
Best regards,  
Dennis

Hello,  
The WorkMail webapp lacks the features that you have mentioned. I am going to send these feature requests to the service team.   
The following is the list that I will forward to them,  
1. creating rules based on a messages  
2. managing contacts based on messages  
3. directly importing contacts from standard formats  
4. subscribing to external web calendars (ics)  
5. show folders on mails, in search results  
  
This will enable them to discuss about the features suggested and they might add them to their roadmap  
  
Thanks,  
Sowmya

Agreed. The web client really needs some enhancements to get it into a competitive position with webapps from the other major groupware suites.  At a minimum:  
  
1. creating rules based on a messages  
2. managing contacts based on messages  
3. directly importing contacts from standard formats  
4. subscribing to external web calendars (ics)  
  
There are others, but these are the ones that I miss from other web clients that I've used.

Also found another rather glaring omission: When you do a global search, there is no apparent way to see which folder a message belongs to.  
  
E.g., I didn't remember where I put a certain class of mails, so when I wanted to move a mail, I of course just searched, expecting to be able to see which folders the others are in. But nope, nothing. Not in the list, not in the email preview. That's not good. (It might just be me that's blind. Wouldn't be the first time :))
