Save draft button does not save attachment

Attaching multiple files is really difficult (you need to select multiple files at once, otherwise always the last file is selected). So I wanted to see if it is saved before send.

But 'Save draft' do not save attachments.

Well, yeah, everything related to sending messages is still far from being full featured. The website service was initially meant for account administration only, so that users could manage identites, application passwords etc. Then I figured that it would be really easy to add mail preview as well and once I had it I added a very simple sending feature to complement it.

I mostly work on the mail storage side and have less time for the web client, so not sure when I would be able to improve it. What you could do for now is to set up some mature webmail, like Roundcube or Rainloop over IMAP. wildduck-webmail is faster by design for handling large mailboxes but for normal size mailboxes these older ones should be just as fast.

Just for a reference I set up Rainloop to serve wilduck.email users. Create an account at https://wildduck.email and then head here to log in using that email and password to access that mailbox

I checked it out. Looks nice.

BUT. Software with no users will never improve. And people start to like/used to this new cute animal webmail (nice logo choice by the way:).

So I get feedbacks, the main usecase for us is windows outlook and iphone.
Webmail is used only occasionally, and for that it is fine. It is 90% there.

So I'll give it a 3 months or so period to see where it evolves.
I may be able to give some helping hand.

There is

• forward message with attachment feature missing (needs wildduck backend to help out),
• draft autosave feature, and
• multiple attachments upload (would upload it automatically just like gmail before sending),
  so it can be checked (by a simple click from the user, if it is the right file to be send) before sending
• some navigation improvement (can jump 40 pages when reading email, when read an email go back where it was in the inbox)
• select all (when you are in a folder, and select button only selects the first 20 items.)

These are the requirements for me. We are almost there:)

I'm curious, how many users do you host on WildDuck so far?

[bunyevacz]

Some of them are external users that means we only keep their emails for 30 days
(in case of error on their side and for pragmatic reasons).

But mostly users with 10+GiB mailboxes. People seems to never delete their emails apparently.
One has a 40GiB account.

I had a recent hardware failure on the windows server, and used the opportunity to migrate away of windows servers, since we only had OEM server license (and I also lack a license for exchange recovery, had to use .pst and .ost files).
