Feature Request: Allow Sorting of Draft Messages
Posted: Mon Jul 16, 2018 1:07 pm
I remember awhile ago someone asking for the ability to search messages (both received and draft), and Jeff's response was that it would be difficult to do (and therefore probably wouldn't get done anytime soon). Given that the received emails exist in locations other than Pop Peeper (for example, the web account), it's always been possible to search these other locations if you needed to. So this inability to search received emails within Pop Peeper was an annoyance, but at least there was a functional work-around.
However, draft messages created in Pop Peeper only exist in Pop Peeper, and this presents a problem. I don't know about other people, but in all my various email programs, I have a lot of unsent draft messages. There are many reasons these emails haven't been sent: Sometimes the circumstances change, so the email I drafted is no longer relevant, sometimes I just never get around to sending it, sometimes I'm waiting for more information (which hasn't yet come), etc.
However, there are times I want to go back to an unsent draft message and finally send it, but in Pop Peeper (because of the inability to search as well as the quantity of draft messages) it's often hard to find a specific draft. If a search is not possible, how about allowing column sorting of draft messages the same way it works with received emails? That way you could sort by date/time (to find the most recent), or by the To field (to group the drafts by recipient). This would greatly help the user to find a specific draft message.
