Allow customization of Sidebar items

The Problem

By default, the Mailspring Sidebar shows a lot of items that I don’t really use in my email workflow (e.g. starred, reminders, snoozed). Since the upper icons take up a lot of screen real estate, it would be great if the user could configure which items will be placed there. Right now, a lot of items that I never use push down the ones I really depend on (my folders mainly), which wastes a lot of space.

Proposed Solution

The best solution would be to make this configurable from within the Mailspring settings.

Alternative Solutions

I tried to do this myself through theming or a plugin, but could not really succeed. An alternative, much more easy to implement fix would be to give every item in the sidebar a distinct ID, so that one could e.g. simply disable those items through theming. Right now those elements are just divs without a classname or ID.

Yes, would be good to be able to configure these so it’s got my vote. :+1:

#3

Definitely. I think, at present, the best you can do is something like [title=Archive] {display: none;}. However, that only hides the label and not the whole block, so you still have the space there!

#4

Exactly. I guess having distinct IDs on the actual menu item would be beneficial in general.

Having just joined the community I would like to add my support for this proposal.
