Postsack

Provides a high level visual overview of swaths of email

Performance

It currently parses 632383 emails in ~160 seconds, so roughly 4.000 emails per second. This excludes (for now) attachments. Update: It currently parses 632115 emails in ~56 seconds, so roughly 11.000 emails per second. This excludes (for now) attachments.

Open Issues

  • rename repository to postsack
  • add support for message filters (read etc), the UI is already there, the filters are not applied yet
    • the filters for tags should allow selecting from the existing tags?
  • mbox is multiple files, e.g. inbox.mbox, sent.mbox. support this
  • support mbox
  • support apple mail
  • try re-opening a database...
  • save config into sqlite
  • store last opened sqlite file
  • check if we get any values for the to_sender to_domain fields etc (only to_group seemingly has no data for my mails)
  • update to egui 15
  • add more tests
  • build static linux binary via docker
  • try to build a static windows binary
  • update metadata in Cargo.toml
  • add app platform icons
  • for many mails, the segmentations don't work correctly due to async issues

Linux Issues

  • broken background color
  • can't switch import format
  • mbox support for selecting a folder of mbox files (inbox etc)
  • weird sizing behaviour on startup
  • background color in startup screen is transparent
  • current tests fail under linux

Future Options

  • Add additional UI based on Druid, Iced or Native Cocoa
  • maybe add blocking versions of the calls, too (in model)
  • abstract over Fields and backend to have a generic way to display groupable information
  • apply the window changes (no status etc) on startup, not just when loading main
  • split up into multiple crates
  • action when clicking an email?
  • support light theme
  • allow diving into splits/segments until there're no gropu bys anymore, but the last split can be opened full (to see the mails)
  • remove unneeded dependencies and features
  • add support for generating mail deletion rules based on the visible mails
  • support more mail formats:
    • outlook
    • notmuch
    • maildir

Development

Generate a macOS bundle via Cargo Bundle:

cargo bundle --bin gui
