A new method of email pane?

ChrisJ

Hi @Jay, I installed the beta update today. Unfortunately, the Outlook fix is still not working. Can you please have another look❓

ChrisJ Also, Outlook 365 / Business does still not work. Email can be dragged and dropped from Outlook 365 to Legend, but when clicking the email from Legend will not open the email in the new browser pane. I’m starting to believe this will only be possible for outlook 365 emails by integrating with Microsoft Graph to get the unique email id to use as hyperlink from within Legend.

Eik thanks for confirmation of my issue. Based on the info you provided maybe @Jay will get an idea on how to fix this. I was hoping it would be working by now. 😔

I don’t currently use Email Panes in my workflow, but happen to be working in a new user account at the moment (in stable) and noticed these new Panes along the way. I apologize if I’m repeating known issues but did notice a few glaring things basically by accident:

The new account’s Mobile board had an Email Pane by default. I think it was legacy-style, but since I had nothing configured it just showed me the “Get Started” button. When I clicked that, it took me to the “Email” (not “Email Legacy”) Tab of Settings, but that tab doesn’t contain account setup controls. Just the one toggle:

I switched to the “Email Legacy” tab and configured my account: when I closed Settings the Legacy Email Pane updated with messages as-expected.

Opening an email to view from a Legacy Pane, spawns a New Email type Pane for viewing, which is okay, but some fun things happen if you create more than one New Email Pane and move them around relative to the Legacy one. Assuming the plan is to retire the Legacy Panes soon, this is a nonissue, but if they will be kept for a while there’s some more work needed, I think.

If the New Email Pane works by being a portal to WebMail, does this mean other email hosts with webmail portals can be supported in the future? I work with a Zoho-hosted email account, for example.

Good morning
The new email integration on Gmail seems to work perfectly. On Outlook (office 360 professional account), it doesn’t work for me. Here is the video capture.
THANKS

Jay

christophe Is that an Office 365 account or a regular Outlook account?

ChrisJ

Jay It’s also still not working for me (see my earlier messages from Dec. 22, 2023, above).

christophe

It’s an office 365 account.

christophe

It’s too bad, the new beta version with the new component does not solve the problem.
I dream that this problem will be resolved, I will then be able to return to a single use of Legend without using Mailbird (a solution that I use but which I never really liked).

Eik

It’s hard or even impossible to create a perma link to a O365 business email likewise the gmail way. I guess the only way this is going to work if legend supports the ms graph api.

I just decided to try again the mail pane in legend also.

Sad to find that my (Work issued) Office365 email has issues also. The pane will display my mail, but when dragging a message into my outline, then trying to click it again to open it, I get this error
My account info says I have: Office 365 E3 in case that helps.

Jay

Jorge I removed the browser popup in the latest version since it’s controversial and causes some bugs like this.

LauraH This Outlook bug should be fixed in the latest beta. I am still seeing it not making emails draggable sometimes - I’ll fix that tomorrow. Are you see any other issues?

Jorge

Same problem being discussed here https://forum.legendapp.com/u/Jorge

Jay

I’ve reproduced that Outlook error, working on it now.

Jorge

@Jay This functionality has also broken the mailbird links.
Given mail inks that were created in mailbird
When in mailbird you filter by mail inks (by clicking on the envelope icon)
Then only the mail links created in the beta desktop mail from the new mail browser pane and it ignores al the mail links that were created in mailbird.

Eik

When I drag an email from my outlook 365 business inbox to the outline, it is saved correctly. When I click email in the outline the browser panes open the email. That’s good! Now, when I move the email to another folder within outlook and I click the email in the outline again, the email cannot be found.

Jorge

Same thing is happening to me when I archive an email. Legend can no longer find the message
