Originally assigned to: @jasonmunro on GitHub.

🗣 Suggestion

I have a few UX suggestions as I use this app everyday:

When selecting multiple mails and click Read, they should remain selected, currently they get unchecked;
Everything folder unread counter is not working; Unread folder counter is not updating unless you open the folder;
Desktop notifications are a must have.

Keep up the good work :)

I'm not sure I understand the use case here. Why do you want them to remain checked?

Everything folder unread counter is not working; Unread folder counter is not updating unless you open the folder;

The everything folder counter only appears in the page title after loading is complete, seems to be working correctly here. The unread folder has 2 counters, one in the title that will update after a refresh, and one in the folder list that should update about once a minute regardless of what page you are on. This is also working properly for me. Can you explain a bit more what broken behavior you are seeing?

Desktop notifications are a must have.

We support these, but looks like I never added the module set to the sample ini file! add this to your hm3.ini:

modules[]=desktop_notifications

and rerun your config_gen.php script and they should be enabled. I will get that added to the sample ini file. Thanks for the feedback!

That's the way it works in most email clients (gmail, yahoo, outlook). For me it is usefull because I receive many mails with notifications from servers that I manage, and once a day I select those mails, mark as read and delete them.
Another small thing is that in other email clients the selection toggle button, even if you have a few items selected, toggles between all and none, it does not inverse your selection :)

Just rechecked, you are right, it is working as you detailed, nothing broken :)

I have tried it but it is not working for me. I get an error in the console:

Uncaught (in promise) PushError: permission request declined

If it is working for you, maybe it's on my side. I will try to fix it and I will share what I've found.

use case	toggle all or none	invert toggle
nothing selected and want to select all	very easy	very easy
nothing selected and want to select none	very easy	very easy
something selected (small amount as the selection is manual) and want to select all	very easy	very easy (click on the folder or pager and click on toggle)
something selected (small amount as the selection is manual) and want to select none	very easy	very easy (click on the folder or pager)
want to invert selection	impossible	very easy

From my point of view would be a nonsense to change the current behavior or even bloat the UI by adding an additional button.

I have to agree I also like the inverse behavior better than a standard toggle all :) However I have no issue with "leave checked items checked" after a message operation. @Razvan0925 insofar as the push error, pretty sure that is a browser setting situation. We outsource handling that to the push.js include, but it should prompt you the first time it wants to push a notice and it needs to be accepted or it ends up on a browser black-list (in chromium at least).

We outsource handling that to the push.js include, but it _should_ prompt you the first time it wants to push a notice and it needs to be accepted or it ends up on a browser black-list (in chromium at least).

The "leave checked items checked" would be nice for me, for the selection toggle I agree with you.
The push notifications is working now, it seems the browser refuses to push notification on non-secure or insecure connections, it should have been obvious 😁

Another suggestion: I don't like the current notifications as they are covering the topbar buttons. Toast notifications would be a lot nicer.

@Razvan0925 I think your original concerns have all been addressed, so I'm going to close this issue. I like to keep issues as specific and focused as possible (it just helps me stay organized). Fee free to open new issues for other UI suggestions, I appreciate the feedback!
