GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 209002
Email priority

Package: Evolution Priority: Normal Version: 0.13.99 Synopsis: Email priority Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Description: Please add the ability to prioritize an email before sending it. Good choices are: High Normal Low I put this as a 'Normal' priority bug rather than 'Wish List' because it is a fairly standard feature available in most other mailers.
Definetly a wish list type of feature though.
Why do not you consider this feature to milestone 1.2? As Paul says, "because it is a fairly standard feature available in most other mailers". And because it may be easy to implement :-)
Please consider this for a future release.
still missing in 2.1.3.2...
Are there any plans to introduce this in 2.4 as it still is not in 2.2.2? Which parts have to be touched to get this working (GUI only, or other aprts too like camel?) +rl
this is included since evolution 2.4 - you can now "prioritise message" in the composer. closing as fixed.
However there doesn't appear to be any UI to call attention to the priority in a received message.
andrew: no, there isn't by purpose. we think that the recipient should decide whether a message is important to him, not the sender. :-)
(In reply to comment #8) > andrew: no, there isn't by purpose. we think that the recipient should decide > whether a message is important to him, not the sender. :-) That decision is still entirely up to the recipient. The X-Priority header's purpose is to inform the recipient as to how important the email is to the sender, not the recipient. I have certainly sent several emails which in my opinion were urgent. This seems to happen a lot in the corporate world. It's also a feature that groupwise users have come to expect and Novell will surely want to implement in Evolution at least for the groupwise support. Besides, if you think that the recipient should decide whether a message is important to him then why on earth did you implement this Prioritize option? :-)
andrew: i can fully understand your point of view. however, feel free to poke the novell folks about this at https://bugzilla.novell.com - this bugzilla here is gnome, not novell. :-)
