Hi,

I really like the idea of storing notes together with mails on an IMAP server to make them accessible from everywhere. And thus your plugin seemed to be what was looking for. But as far as I understood the notes are stored in a separate table and not as messages on the IMAP server (Is this correct?).

For me this has several drawbacks as one always has to use the roundcube frontend to view and edit the notes. The notes are not accessible by other applications.

Did you already think of storing the notes as IMAP messages in a special Notes-Folder. Apple's notes App does so and creates Messages like the one below for each note in a folder called "Notes":

Test Note


I know "Only because Apple does something this must not be good". But this has the advantage that the notes are available in every mail application and not only in roundcube. And I don't see any real drawbacks...

Best regards,
Daniel.

I can't do that. We need note id, note position x and note position y. I could add this as Xtra headers if the note is created by Roundcube. Notes created by Apple do not have this informations. So, they can't be processed by Roundcube.

I already imagined that this would be problematic. Perhaps one could use Xtra-Tags for the position as you mentioned and display notes without a position tag on a default location. Like newly created notes. If one creates multiple notes with another application, one would have to arrange these notes but this should not be too inconvenient I think...

Regarding the ID, I think the used UUID in the X-Universally-Unique-Identifier header would make a pretty good ID :-) Of course it is not compatible with the currently used note-ID

Best regards
