There are still issues with Email Inbox we went in to all users and removed the link to Email Inbox under each user, reload, logout then back on. Select Email Inbox mail shows then reload again we get New Mail Account Button select reload again email returns it does not turn off completely now we know we can hide the icon but just know that there is interaction going on gives us pause and that it really doesn’t bring us back to pre ver 8 functionality.
Second as suspected there has been a change to email accounts ERPNext no longer follows sync it marks all email it syncs as read and in some case removes from the mail server this is not the definition of IMAP this is acting more like POP3 despite clearly setting up as an IMAP client. We will be looking for notations in frappe/email for reasons why this was done. thanks @clarkej Another email issue Read Receipt - #4 by clarkej and here
Email Account Issue
We would just like to suggest for the sake of others starting out with ERPNext that there is a reason for standards like IMAP as it gives all developers a platform to adhere to that way all clients i.e. outlook, android and yes ERPNext respond the same way. It should make no difference whether our mail server is dovecot or exchange both adhere to IMAP standards so we should expect ERPNext interaction be the same which it appears not to be. While there may be only a few of us now there will be more as ERPNext gains some traction so hopefully this thread will stimulate others to participate in the solution…
