Author Topic: checkbox near to title messages - gmail like (Read 3261 times)

Hi, can we have a checkbox near to the title of the message to select many mails and send it to the trash folder like gmail. I know you can select as many as you want with the current api, but for some users the checkbox is more friendly. I saw this thread in the forum, but nobody answered and is too old 2007. thank in advance

This has been asked at trac aswell. Devs declined this feature request definately.

I think this could this be done with a plugin.

I would really love this feature as well. In fact, it's the only thing holding our company back from using roundcube. The devs reasoning also is not sufficient IMO.

What is not intuitive in this behavior? All apps behave like this.

All apps have ctrl-a to select all as well, but this doesn't for work web apps. Just because something is used for desktop apps doesn't mean it's justified for web apps. I think checkboxes should be an option since every other webmail client out there uses them and it is much easier for users.

We moved from squirrelmail to Roundcube, and have a rather non-tech-savvy userbase (~2000 users). They quickly adapted to the lack of checkboxes, and I don't hear any user requests to get them back.
