Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With Nextcloud Mail 3.0 allowing to share mailboxes, this app seems to get very close to offer a true collaborative email solution. While other features (#5900, #6127...) could really confirm this path, there is another little one (maybe simpler?) which could be a huge step forward: being able to write comments on emails. Like commenting files (where you can mention someone or add a references to some files etc.), it would be very useful to comment emails in order to organize work better with other users.
Describe the solution you'd like
A simple comment system, maybe in a sidebar or even better: into the mail thread, with comments displayed between emails.
Describe alternatives you've considered
No response
Additional context
For reference, a lot of proprietary apps (like Missive) have this kind of feature
