I have a habit with a friend of exchanging letters, which is done through the mechanics of the mail system. Sometimes, when I am feeling nostalgic, I will read back through the letters I’ve received, just as a way to relive those moments.
However, I do not have the ability to look back through the letters I have sent. I know that the are there in the logs if I scroll back, but logs do not transfer between devices (not well, at least), and scrolling up a kajillion is not an effective way to find them.
Is it possible to add sent messages to the UI somewhere so that I can read back through them?
I think, what I stumbled on when I considered adding it, was that I wasn’t sure how I wanted that UI to look like. A separate “Sent” section? Add a Reply feature so they can be grouped properly? How would that look in that tiny panel?
… and in the end I didn’t found a good answer, and later was distracted by other features to tinker on.
So, maybe I should ask here; How would we want sent mails to show?
I think a separate sent section could be alright, perhaps a sub-tab. I had originally been thinking something dead simply, with a visual signifier and a text signifier:
