I would love it if there’s a way to open the email in my browser, or at least open the email inbox in my browser. The purpose of this is that when I check my junk mail, if there’s an email I don’t want to be in junk, I need to open outlook.com or gmail.com to tell it not to classify that sender as junk on the server side. I know I can create a local rule to move it, but for me, it’s ideal to do it on the server side so that it syncs with my other copies of emclient and my android app instead of syncing one way and then my computer needing to be on to move it and then the other’s resyncing the move.

Opening emails in a browser would defeat the purpose of a mail client.
Suggest to eg: just ““keep the browser always open” running “either to the left or right of eM Client” if your desktop resolution allows that, so you can easily then mark as Not Junk “without having to toggle around to the browser or launch the browser”, I do that if I have to mark emails not junk in Gmail & Outlook when the server moves inbox emails to the junk mail folder.
Or if the junk mail messages have been moved there by blacklisting them in eM Client to the junk mail folder, then you can remove them from the junk mail folder and remove the blacklist within eM Client “via right click” as per @gary post below. depending on if all your junk mail messages have been moved by your mail server or by an eM Client blacklist rule.
Hi Cyberzork,
As Gary’s post mentioned, I must log into the email provider’s webmail to select a message and mark it as not spam. That is the feature request I’m suggesting, right-click on a junk mail (or any email) in emclient and have the option to open in browser. I don’t think keeping my browser open on the side all the time with several tabs for different email providers is a solution. I can just open a new tab and log in after I find out which email account the junk mail was sent to. It’s not always obvious which account it’s for when using the Junk email group, depending on how they addressed it, so you have to right click and choose properties.
I agree that in an ideal world, email clients would be able to send the command to Microsoft or gmail and tell them not to consider that email as junk to whitelist them on the server side, but we’re stuck with needing to open it in a browser. A simple right-click option that will open the email provider’s web address in a browser is not difficult to implement. Emclient could even have a field in the accounts page where you can type in whatever website you want to open when you right click and select open in browser. For junkmail specifically, open the junk mail in the browser “Outlook”, “Outlook”, “https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#spam”
This is an unnecessary feature request, and I agree with @cyberzork it defeats the purpose of email being handled completely within the email client itself. If you wanted to use a browser, then you would use the webmail instead.
Lastly, any good email provider can handle this from the server side, where if you move an email from the spam folder to the inbox folder it will whitelist and train. If you move from the inbox folder to the spam folder, then it will block and train. I think both “outlook.com” and “gmail.com” support this, which makes what your saying unnecessary.

I agree, I don’t want to use a browser… I have to… because emclient doesn’t have the ability to mark something as not junk and have that update on the server side. There’re over 500 forum posts about junk, and many of them have an answer given by cyberzork
So, if part of the official protocol is to open up the junk mail folder online, why would it be an unnecessary (although simple) feature request to have a context menu shortcut? Do you have official evidence that outlook.com and gmail.com will whitelist a sender simply by using emclient to move the email to the inbox? In my experience and research, that’s not the case.
