Thank you. And why does it seem to require a third party server ?

Obvious implementation: use IMAP to create a folder, snooze-$timestamp. Move messages there. Every so often, check the snooze-$timestamp folders and present every one where the timestampt has expired as part of the unread group. Delete empty folders.

> - It still has the same great pro features, like snoozing and send later, but doesn't send your email credentials to Mailspring servers. All of these features have been re-implemented to run locally on your computer.
It doesn't require a third-party server. Nylas did do it that way, but Mailspring aren't. It's local.

Yeah, it seems easy enough to do client side unless one wants it to be synchronized across devices. Then, I imagine it'd be easy for the email provider to do, though it'd need client support or to be in the browser.
Imagine you read emails in an unread folder, where read emails disappear. This basically would functionally mark them as read until a preset amount of time passes, then they show up as unread again. It's a bit like that, only in your inbox itself.
It's not actually a part of the email specifications, but some people seem to like it.
