Hi Chris and thanks for your detailed feedback.
Some of the issues you raise relate to functionality that exists in Runbox 6 and that hasn’t yet been implemented in Runbox 7, but that is in the works. See my replies to each issue below.
-
While Runbox 7 will perform much faster with a local/synchronized index, this is not required at all. As you may know, browser routinely cache data locally and Runbox 7 extends this concept by utilizing other, local browser storage as explained here: Is preview pane only way to view email?
-
Selecting multiple messages using the Shift key hasn’t been implemented yet and is an existing issue (https://github.com/runbox/runbox7/issues/12). In the meantime you may select multiple messages by clicking and dragging as explained here: https://help.runbox.com/runbox-7-webmail-new-features/#Message_selection
-
Opening messages in a separate window is an ongoing discussion here: Is preview pane only way to view email?
-
In your designated Spam folder you can click the “More” icon and then “Move all to Trash” to empty your Spam folder. Clicking the “Check all” box at the top of the message list will only select visible messages because the list is “infinite” and selecting all of them could unintentionally include messages that are not in view. Expanding on this functionality is part of this issue: https://github.com/runbox/runbox7/issues/61
-
Adding a “Not spam” button in the designated Spam folder is now added to this issue: https://github.com/runbox/runbox7/issues/86
