Allows for consistent notes regarding a certain category tag, e.g. 'Travel'

Could be used as an indicator to know this before opening the taskpane

E.g. using a Changelog button that gets a different colour. The button could be placed in the settings menu.

We only get 32KB of storage (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/outlook/office.roamingsettings?view=outlook-js-preview)

It would be best if users could decide to export all notes, or just those specific to the current mail, conversation or sender.

These templates could include context-sensitive fields, such as automatically inserting the sender's name, the mails subject, etc.
Depends on #14

If a message changes folders, it's ID changes and is unrecoverable. The ID format we use for storing notes therefore needs to be changed.

The current icon is too detailed for most contexts, and does not fit nicely into the design of Outlook

Currently, Mail Notes adds its categories to the top of the category list in Outlook. This causes messages to be prioritized with this category when ordering them by category, instead of other custom categories.

E.g. created & last edited

Doing so should also remove the note category #27

Depends on #23

Some users may not be able to install the Add-In if the administrator does not allow adding Add-Ins with write permissions

A note template could get used by all notes, or only those within a context (mail, conversation, sender)

The default order is mail->conversation->sender

If a Mail Notes category is added to a message, only it's coloured icon is shown in the message overview panel

RoamingSettings only allows storing up to 32KB of data, localStorage allows around 5.2MB.

Currently, all inputs and colour pickers are shown at all times

This would make it easier to use the mail's contents as a starting point for the note.
Would be best realized using a Taskpane action.

The users need to be aware of this. e.g. the settings menu could show the next notes that will be deleted, and a small text at the bottom of the editor could show when the current note will be deleted.

This will rarely be necessary, as there should be enough storage. However, we are unable to know if a note has simply not been accessed in a long time, or if the related message was deleted.

The timer for note deletion should also be reset if a note is viewed, not only when it is edited.

With different Outlook colour themes, the main extension page may sometimes not be well visible

This means the itelic description texts

Currently, only one note per mail etc. can be edited.
When implementing this, adding headers (auto-generated if omitted) would also be required.

When the Add-In is added through a URL, the Quill editor takes a bit longer to load than e.g. the header, which makes the Add-In look less responsive. If no speed up is possible, perhaps a loading icon could be used.
