Date Filter for E-Mails

1 Initial Problem

By now (version 5.3.x) there are already some filters available in the ILIAS mail system (sender, subject, body, attachments). However, with more and more emails arising over the years, you might also need a date filter to find what you are looking for.

2 Conceptual Summary

Therefore we suggest to add an optional period (from/until date) filter as a 2nd filter element to the folder table view. If submitted, the entered dates will be compared to the creation date of each email in the database.

7 Discussion

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 09 APR 2018 : We highly appreciate this feature and schedule it for 5.4. Please do not make this filter an optional filter but a standard one. Leaving one or both date inputs empty needs to be implemented for better usability.

8 Implementation

Implemented as described above.
