Email Productivity Dashboard

[tfranzo]

💡 Idea:

Add a Productivity Dashboard to Thunderbird that helps users better understand and manage their email habits through smart stats and actionable insights.

🧠 How it works:

This dashboard would provide a clear overview of how you interact with your inbox over time. Example features could include:

• ⏱️ Time spent reading and replying to emails per day/week.

• 📥 Average response time to incoming emails.

• ⏳ Unreplied emails tracker (e.g., highlight emails that haven’t been answered after X days).

• 🔁 Reply rate: How often you respond to certain contacts or types of emails.

• 🧹 Suggestions to clean up or archive low-priority threads.

All analytics would be shown in a clean, visual format, with graphs, trends, and filters (per contact, label, folder…).

🛠️ Optional Features:

• Custom goals (e.g., “Reply to all work emails within 24h”).

• Focus score or inbox stress level indicator.

• Email batching reminders (“You replied to 20 emails — take a break!”).

• Exportable reports (CSV, PDF).

✅ Benefits:

• Helps users build better email habits and avoid burnout.

• Encourages timely replies and declutters inboxes.

• Great for professionals, support teams, or anyone with a high volume of email.

• Can support mental well-being by preventing overload.

🔐 Privacy:

• All tracking would be done locally, with zero data sharing.

• No behavioral data is sent anywhere — everything stays on the user’s device.
