Email Reminder - Zimlets
Email Reminder
I get a ton of emails everyday like most of you and there are always some emails I want to be reminded about some other time, sometime just couple of hours later or some other day. And, current ways of achieving this are either tedious or convoluted. So, I wrote a zimlet that hopes to solve this everyday problem.

Please see the snapshot, it has complete work-flow and all the details I have mentioned below

How it works:
The zimlet shows a 'Email Reminder Setup'-dialog whenever you simply Flag an email or conversation and allows you to setup an email-reminder. This I think is the innovative and perhaps even intuitive way to trigger this because, a lot of times we flag an email since its important and would like to be reminded about it in the future. And the usual way of drag-dropping the email onto the zimlet also works.

Details:
To show the reminders we depend on Calendar. We create a separate calendar called 'Email Reminders' and create free+private appointments with the email-subjects. A different calendar is used to avoid cluttering the main-calendar's appointment. Appointments are free+private so they are not shown in free-busy scheduler.

Finally,
You can disable flag-to-remind or drag-to-remind or disable the entire zimlet at your wish.

Minimum Zimbra Version: 5.0.12 (5.0.11 w/o flagging capability)
