Done state and follow-up reminders

Dismiss without archiving, and let the system ping you when a thread goes silent.

Mark Done — distinct from Archive

Dismiss the thread, but let it bubble back if a reply lands.

The reading-pane toolbar exposes a Done button (Shift+E). Done emails leave the inbox view but stay accessible under the Done tab. The key difference from Archive: when a new inbound reply lands on the thread, Done auto-flips back to undone and the thread returns to the inbox.

Implementation note
A Postgres trigger watches new inbound rows in synced_emailsand clears is_done on prior thread members for the same user. No cron required.

Follow-up reminders

Get pinged if a recipient hasn't replied by a chosen day.

Toggle Remind me if no reply when composing. Pick 3 / 5 / 7 / 14 days. After the email syncs back, the reminder is attached to that message. Each morning at 9 AM UTC the cron checks rows where remind_at <= now() and:

  • If a reply has landed on the thread, the reminder is silently dismissed.
  • Otherwise, you get an in-app notification: “Follow up on: [subject]”.

Reminders can be dismissed manually from the notification, or snoozed by scheduling a new follow-up at a later date.
