Marking a chat as unread is a helpful feature for organization. Like when you open a chat and and want to come back later to answer you can mark it as unread to highlight it. Look at telegram to see what it can look like. The only difficulty here could be to sync this with your other devices.

I would like this feature. Very often I read a message and want replay later. But I forget it because is marked as read. Wouldn’t it be possible to mark the last mail on the server as “unread” as I can do it e.g. in K9? Now all clients should see it’s unread. I don’t know is there really a way …

[image] webratte: Wouldn’t it be possible to mark the last mail on the server as “unread” as I can do it e.g. in K9? Now all clients should see it’s unread. I am not sure what you mean with “the last mail”. But yes: I can mark an email as unread in K-9. And yes: that status propagates to m…

OK, I will try to describe it a little bit clearer. I this thread we talk about “mark a chat as unread and share this state to other synced clients”. So my idea is to mark the last message of a chat as unread. This way the other clients could “see”, this message is unread and could also mark the …

First of all sorry @webratte : my tired brain interpreted your “as I can do it in K-9” as “can I do it in K-9?” and that is what I jumped in to answer :wink: I now also understand what you meant by “last mail” Again I am no expert in IMAP but of all the flags that can be applied to an email there…

Any updates to “mark as unread” ? I guess this “normal” e-mail feature is a must-have for any messenger (especially if it is buit upon e-mail standards. It happens quite often that i forget to reply because i cannot mark the message as unread (or as important).

regarding multi-device sync: we have CONDSTORE support now, whether a message is read is already synced across devices, couldn’t we use the same mechanism to synchronize when a message is marked as unread again?

this feature is very important for email workflows where unread = TODO and read = DONE.

Soon there is a feature to bookmark messages, it can be used to bookmark TODOs.

and also since the title is about marking a whole chat as “unread”, it is easier to do by pinning the chat, I pin chats when I received something from someone that requires me “to do” something and I can’t do it atm

Feature Proposal

Highlight chats Feature Proposal

We already have pinned chats, also “mark as unread” is resolved automatically when opening the chat again, but marking chats for work, friends, family is “permanent” marking right? also there is still the challenge of multi device sync and maybe also a question about imap sync?
