Show spam folder

[phil294]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I set up a test account from @web.de, a popular email provider, but none of the incoming messages showed. The app showed a warning about spam filters, so I removed the spam filter in the email application, but I dont think this can be expected from every user and I imagine many would quickly be frustrated and leave.

Describe the solution you'd like
I suggest to include messages from the spam folder as well – maybe as some kind of subfolder in the Chats activity. Visible only if relevant messages appear inside. This way the user will never wonder where their messages went.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Spam folder messages could also be completely hidden by default and shown as an opt-in. Better than now, but imo not a preferable solution due to the reasons outlined above.

Additional context
Additionally, it would be great if you could opt in to treat spam messages like normal messsages and simply blend them in, ignoring the mail server's spam detection mechanisms. The less hassle for the user, the better, right?

Besides, a more generic question:
Is OX COI supposed to also be a viable replacement for conventional email clients?

• If yes, are there any plans to also fetch past messages when setting up an account? Will we ever see folders in ox-coi? What about imap search functionality? Just curious as I couldnt find a roadmap.
• If not, should everyone really keep both an email and a coi client on their devices? Would not seem right.

Sorry for all the issues, but I hope they help. I hope I'll find time in future to also contribute to the project as it looks really promising. coi coi coi 👍

Thanks for this report, your ideas and input.

In regards to the other questions it's hard to say if this client could / should replace the normal client, but there were considerations. Loading already existing mails during login is definitely something important, you are absolutely right.
In regards to the general roadmap I can't say much right now, but as soon there is some clearity I will come back to you. 👍
