Email folders Tracker Field

Email Folder is a new Tracker field type, introduced in Tiki23, being able to hold a list of emails in flat format or IMAP folder-like structured support for Inbox/Sent/Trash folders.

Emails are currently moved to tracker items via the Webmail interface in Tiki (Cypht web interface). Cypht is used to display Tiki-stored messages and handle all relevant actions - read, reply, forward, copy, move, delete. Message can be moved to another tracker item or to an IMAP folder.
