Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

At the moment a user can only sort his mails by date (asc/desc) but in some situations sorting by for example mail size is needed. If a user can not sort the mails by size and also can't see the actual size of an email there is no possibility to cleanup a mailbox if the quota is hit.

Describe the solution you'd like
  • The option to sort by size (asc / desc) should be added beside to the possibility to sort by date.
  • The size of the whole mail (mail itself and attachments) should be shown at some point.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the mail list currently receives and sorts messages by date. Identify where message size and attachment information are available, then determine how the list can expose total mail size and sort it in both directions. Done means users can see the whole-mail size and sort the mailbox by size ascending or descending.
