Feature Request?

Does this feature exist in another mail client or tool you use?

It would be great to have ability to install plugins for all users on your system.
It could be used for plugins installation as optional dependencies for the Mailspring package.

While we do have plans of adding a formal Plugins UI in Mailspring itself at some point in the future, we have meantime created a central place in our new Discourse community for sharing plugins: https://community.getmailspring.com/c/plugins/8

Please join there, and encourage your favorite plugin developers to post! (As you can see, it's a bit quiet there right now, but only because we've just started.)

Meanwhile, we are in the process of migrating issues to Discourse, which can better facilitate discussion and discovery, and so GitHub Issues can focus on issues that are confirmed and slated for resolution in the near term. Learn more about the changes here.

As part of this, we've migrated this issue to Discourse:

https://community.getmailspring.com/t/plugin-theme-catalog/318

Please consider joining that community and continuing the discussion there! Votes on the feature suggestion on Discourse will increase the likelihood we implement this.

We're closing and locking the issue here as part of this migration. Rest assured, this doesn't mean the issue is being discarded or ignored.

We hope to see you on Discourse soon!
