History: Email folders Tracker Field

            ! {{page}}

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.

!# Configuration

To configure the email folders tracker field, do the following:
First of all you have to create a tracker. To create a Tracker, proceed as follows:

!!# Creation and configuration of the Tracker

!!!# Check the activation of the Trakers feature

If the Tracker tab exists in the system menu go to the next point.
{img src="display1849" link="display1849" width="350" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" styleimage="border"}
Otherwise if the Tracker tab does not exist, so the feature is not yet activated, you can activate it by following the following steps :

*  Settings -> Control Panels
{img src="display1850" link="display1850" width="350" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" styleimage="border"}
# Global Setup -> Features
{img src="display1851" link="display1851" width="350" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" styleimage="border"}
# In the Main features section, check the Trackers box
{img src="display1852" link="display1852" width="350" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" styleimage="border"}

!!!# Create a Trakers

To create a Tracker click on:

*  Trackers -> List Trackers
{img src="display1853" link="display1853" width="350" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" styleimage="border"}
* Create
{img src="display1854" link="display1854" width="350" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" styleimage="border"}
* Enter the name of the Tracker
{img src="display1855" link="display1855" width="350" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" styleimage="border"}
* Add a description if possible
{img src="display1856" link="display1856" width="350" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" styleimage="border"}
* Finally save
{img src="display1858" link="display1858" width="400" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" styleimage="border"}

!!!# Add fields

Once the tracker is created. Click on :

# the Tracker you just created
# then on the Field button

The minimal configuration needs two fields:

* the Text type field, which will serve as the description
* the Folder type field, which will be used to store emails

!!!!# The Text field

Do it by clicking on:

# Add a field
# Enter the field name
# Choose the type of field, by default it is already Text Field
# Then validate by clicking on the Add a field button

!!!!# The Folder field
