586515 - Browse emails by contact conversation instant message view

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, enhancement)

Description

[seebe477]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.125 Safari/533.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100802 Thunderbird/3.1.2

suggested enhancement: A new "inbox view" where rather than emails listed you have a list of your contacts like an instant messenger. On clicking a contact in the thread pane, a conversation of all emails sent and recieved from that participant is viewed (ie recieved emails with text against the left border, sent emails with text against the right border), with a box at the top for typing a reply message. Contacts in the thread pane can be organised by date of most recently recieved email, and in bold if the thread contains unread emails. this is different to a thread view, as it includes all emails to and from a contact, rather than just those on a particular topic.

Reproducible: Always

1) Sort your folder by the from column.
2) View -> Sort by -> Gorup by Sort

Voila !!!
