This feature is planned for 0.9.18.  Unfortunately the new
contacts backend was needed to acheive this, and now 16 is
feature frozen.

Hi people,

I would like to propose you an idea in order to
simplify the use of phpgroupware for integration into
existing communities (basically, researchers for my
concern).

I don't know if it is really a feature request,
actually it may have save your team a lot of work
concerning email app if you would have did it. In my
lab, some sociologists worked on problems in real
communities when using tools such as groupwares. One of
the problems found was in the link between "groupware"
world and "usual" world. For instance, if the groupware
provides a new webmail interface, the user often have
to switch between its own previous mailer and the new
mail interface. Moreover, some mails are in one place
and others are in another place, forcing the user to
duplicate as needed.

Well, after having a deep look (maybe not deep enough,
you could answer) into phpgroupware (the 9.16rc1) it
seems that you made the same mistake than commercial
apps did before you, that is trying to put all the
useful tools into one big app.

Ok, now, if I already have a mozilla mail with a lot of
filters/folders/subfolders/adresses and so on, I
certainly don't want to use the email or felimimail app
of phpgroupware. I would only find useful to receive in
one of my mozilla folder all the messages sent to me
with the messenger app, and being able to send a mail
to a phpgroupware group through mozilla or messenger.
In other words, it could be nice to provide a field
"email address" in the user manager of phpgroupware,
that would be sent all the messages I receive in the
groupware. And to be able to configure email accounts
in the group manager so that a whole group could be
turned into a mailing list.

That's only a good thing because you could keep the
current configuration with anglemail/felamimail while
adding this possibility. And I am not sure it is to
much work.
