Design Overview

Objectives

The primary objectives of this project are to:

* Allow the user an arbitrary number of tags per message.
* Create interesting views/saved searches based on tags

Background

Thunderbird 1.5 allowed the user to apply one of five labels to a message. We'd like to make that much more general and useful, and replace the label feature with the tags feature.

Front End Design

You should be able to do the following:

  • Using a context menu, add an existing or new tag to a message.
  • Remove a tag from a message
  • Delete a tag from the application (effectively removing it from all messages)
  • Optionally associate a color with a tag
  • Rename a tag
  • Search on messages with a tag
  • Create saved searches based on tags
