Add the ability to Snooze Emails on Thunderbird Android

[lovelyjubbly]

Add the ability to snooze emails in Thunderbird Android.

Examples can be seen in GMail and Outlook Android.

You use a gesture to snooze an email, and a dialog comes up with options like this evening, tomorrow, this weekend, custom date.

In most cases I've seen they just move the email to another folder, and bring it back on the specified date/time.

I saw this other idea, but it's only for desktop version

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

There's also this github issue with a bit of discussion, might be good for reference or as a starting point on how exactly to implement this feature:

Great suggestion. For me this is the only missing feature that's preventing me from migrating from Gmail to thunderbird.

Please add this, I keep wanting to do this but then can't.

Great idea. The snooze email option was a game-changer for me in email. I would love to see this in a future Thunderbird Android release.

I just started using Thunderbird (again) and coming from gmail the snooze function is what is keeping my from ditching the gmail client.

I migrate vom em Client to Thunderbird and this is a deature I really need because I use it multiple times a day. Please add this.

On GitHub you find ideas on how to implement this. One of them is to keep the emai lin the Inbox and just send a new reminder for it after the snooze time. Because it should be accessible even bevor it comes back from beeing snoozed.

As this feature is often used to keep your inbox clean I want to suggest checking the way EM client does handle this: All mails are hidden in the inbox. But there is a virtual folder "Snoozed" (I guess, in German it is "Zurückgestellt"). You can access every snoozed mail there. It also shows until when the email is snoozed.
