address book (pet names and metadata for global identifiers that is not shared globally) - nip81 may address this
folders - nip51 may address this but we need to define a set type for that purpose can include a, e, t tags i guess
search - while folders add organization, i still heavily use free text search to find stuff. meta based search is useful if i know roughly when but not enough specific words and phrases'
drafts - i sometimes start messages and dont send them until later, or use them as templates
distribution lists - i have multiple lists each including contacts and they may overlap..in nostr this needs to be explicit lists nip51 style, or implicit nip81 style
threading - ability to see history of a message exchange when replied to back and forth
master/detail with key meta - seeing from, date, subject for each email in a view and having a preview reading pane as i move through to show details
nice to haves. .....
bulk and scheduled sends - using a distro list and sending a message to each, all at once or scheduled intermittently over time or based upon the target's timezone
calendar integration
file attachments, extraction, scanning tools
Thoughts on using list events for contacts vs a local db? I think a local db would be better for that unless the lists were encrypted with a password and not your private key. I am going to store key pairs in these lists.
Store in local DB.
Support export/import of lists with sync.
Yes encryption makes sense for this as the data stored is personal relationships, even if its about others.
Worth considering implicit lists by tagging association as well like NIP81 to allow individual item management.
