mark read and unread

[seando]

The ability, through a function on the top menu perhaps next to print, to mark selected message(s) as read/unread would be super! I like to mark messages as unread to flag them for future reading.

oh yes I would like this feature very much, too.

This is the only issuse, preventing me from using RoundCube
really  in a productive system.

You can currently mark messages as read/unread on an
individual basis.  The only thing lacking is the ability to
perform this action on multiple selected messages

Getting pulled off onto another project for a while so I'll put this back in the pool as unassigned if I can't get to it soon.

Later...

[brubaker]

yes, it would be really nice to read/unread multiple messages

[seansan]

Is this really necessary?

Don't you need to hand select all e-mails anyway if you want to change read/unread? Instead of selecting and altering, you can directly toggle read/unread while selecting.

[jpingle]

I would say it is necessary. You could block-select messages (click first, shift-click last) and then mark a whole screen full of messages as read. Even for 40 messages it's a lot faster and more intuitive than clicking on each line even once.

It would be better if there were a right-click context menu or even if ctrl-a selected all the messages in the mailbox, but those would just be a nice bonus.

[seansan]

The right click context menu from v-webmail always looked quite cool. For RC1 I think we need just a button ....

I wanted the same thing, so I changed the source code myself. If you're not afraid to do it yourself, the steps needed are :

---

edit skins/default/templates/mail.html

add these two lines

<roundcube:button command="mark-read" imageSel="/images/buttons/mark_read_sel.png" imageAct="/images/buttons/mark_read_act.png" imagePas="/images/buttons/mark_read_pas.png" width="32" height="32" title="markreadmessage" />
<roundcube:button command="mark-unread" imageSel="/images/buttons/mark_unread_sel.png" imageAct="/images/buttons/mark_unread_act.png" imagePas="/images/buttons/mark_unread_pas.png" width="32" height="32" title="markunreadmessage" />

where you want in the div "messagetoolbar"

You have to ensure the pics exist.

---

Edit program/js/app.js

- Search for string : 'moveto' (with the quotes) For each line starting with : this.enable_command , just add before the last argument (which is true or false) the following parameters :

'mark-read','mark-unread',

- Search the string : case 'moveto': and add after the break; statement the following code :

case 'mark-read':
 this.mark_message('read');
 break;
        
case 'mark-unread':
 this.mark_message('unread');
 break;

---

You should have what you wanted !

Modified version with mark read and unread commands added

[mat.hieu]

Modified version with 2 new buttons in toolbar (mark read and unread)

[mat.hieu]

Button for toolbar : mark messages as read (example)

[mat.hieu]

Button for toolbar : mark messages as unread (example)

[rogerpueyo]

Toolbar button: mark messages as read - active

[rogerpueyo]

Toolbar button: mark messages as read - passive

[rogerpueyo]

Toolbar button: mark messages as read - selected

[rogerpueyo]

Toolbar button: mark messages as unread - active

[rogerpueyo]

Toolbar button: mark messages as unread - passive

[rogerpueyo]

Toolbar button: mark messages as unread - selected

[rogerpueyo]

It seems to work pretty well, shouldn't it be implemented at least into SVN versions?

[thomasb]

I see one button with a submenu showing commands to mark and flag a message.

[Sunil Mohan]

May be we could have mark all selected messages as (un)read on clicking on the (un)read status icon of any message. So, to mark multiple messages as (un)read, user will first select the messages and then click on (un)read staus icon of any of the selected messages. All selected messages will be marked (un)read.

This keeps the UI simple although it could be less intuitive ask the user to click on (un)read icon to mark as (un)read.

Hui. ;-) Schaut gut aus. Mal morgen testen!

Thanks, Thomas!

Works as far as I am concerned, Firefox (Windows/Mac), Safari, IE7.
