Option to disable user "Access History"
Mattermost seems to log all user IP as a default.
Maybe it would be a nice option to opt-out per user or system wide the logging of all IP addresses.4 votes -

Use AppData/Local for cached data on Windows
For Windows all local Mattermost data is stored inside of %APPDATA% (AppData/Roaming).
This directory syncs between computers on every login / logout in certain corporate environments.Cache data should be placed inside AppData/Local.

Use the "fallback" field from Slack's webhook attachment format as text for notification, when the provided text is empty.
The slack attachment format defines a fallback field, that is required for attachments to be valid, and is used when the full-formatted message is not usable in a particular context (e.g. text-mode clients, notifications).
For example, Slack uses that fallback field for the text of notifications. I believe that Mattermost should do the same.
That would require changes on the webhook-related code, on the format of the post object that is forwarded in Javascript, and on the code that generates the text shown in notifications. I could work on a PR if you are favorable to the idea.

Hotlink preview for uploaded image instead of thumbnail
When uploading images it will be nice to have a preview features (like when entering an image through a link) instead of the current generated thumbnail which is not very representative of the image. This is somehow how Slack is showing uploaded image.

Use correct typographical symbols for all user-facing strings such as curly quotes for apostrophes (‘’) and quotes (“”)
Use correct typographical symbols for all user-facing strings such as curly quotes for apostrophes (‘’) and quotes (“”).
You should also avoid other typographical mistakes like n-dashes (–) and ellipsis (…) characters.

Slash commands progress indicator
Mattermost should have a way of showing that a slash command was executed, and awaiting response. At the moment you have no way of knowing if your command was sent out or not until a potential response arrives. For slow services this is raither tedious as you begin doubting if the message was sent or not, and might end up sending it multiple times.

Prevent non-admin users to rename channels
I'm aware of your business model and I'm fine with an advanced permissions system in the paid edition. I'm also aware that you carefully thought through the channel management for basic users (see https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/1764) and think it's a good way of approaching things.
But please, consider removing the ability for every one to rename channels. This is not useful, doesn't really make sense and more importantly leaves the ability for anyone to ruin a setup (prank or sabotage). It also gives a feeling of totally uncontrolled environment for these users.
This small feature makes me question the entire usage…

Add ability to send permalinks via email/sms
The ability to generate and copy permalinks is great, but it would be awesome if there was an ability to share that URL, so that standard iOS share sheets, or Android intents, could be used to send urls via Gmail, iMessage, etc. Would make it much easier to integrate into our workflow.

Android App: Support Gitlab double auth
Actually having a mattermost instance connected to gitlab that use omniauth providers (in my case saml, github and google) is not compatible with the android client.
As it's working on IOS, I suggest that you evolve the android client to make it compatible.
From what I observe, the saml token is being truncated

send message later
I'd find it realy useful to be able to send a message later at a given date and time (e.g. like Buffer).
Often, I'd find some useful or interesting info I want to post to the team chat at off-hours, and the message could either be overlooked because the timestamp will be quite old during work hours, or I'd disturb team members who have hot keywords defined and get notified automatically.308 votes -

- Member list (popup box) in the header
- Direct Messages list
- If you can change order by in this lists to order first by online status, then second by name, then it could be more useful.

Autocomplete nickname with initial + Tab, and not only @initial + tab
Autocompleting usernames on initial followed by <Tab> has become a widespread standard since IRC, and is available in all Mattermost alternatives (Slack, HipChat, etc.).
Mattermost allows autocompleting usernames only when @ is used, but this serves a different purpose: linking usernames. Simple and straightforward autocompletion is still usefull in live conversations and the use of @ can be akward, or even difficult on some keyboard layouts. Simple autocompletion is actually missed by some users, and for instance I have a potential team member that refuses to join if he cannot use this basic feature he has been using for…

Open channels and direct messages in different windows (Desktop apps)
Right now we use Mattemost for communication about projects and Spark/Jabber/XMPP for direct messages. The reason we prefer Spark over Mattermost is that we can have each communication in a different app window and that makes it easier if you communicate with more people at once. Typical use case is that you send a question to your colleague and keep the window open until you get the answer.

Allow Mattermost Zapier app posts to contain PDF attachments
Currently Mattermost doesn't support file attachments in Zapier posts, This can be useful when using the Zapier app to generate automated posts containing PDF files.
This feature is also supported by HipChat and Slack, so it would be nice to see Mattermost support it as well.

Access Control List for Web Interface & Mobile App
We are a .org wishing to implement Mattermost.
We would like only a specific group of "internal" users to be allowed to access the server from outside the firewall. In addition, we would also like a specific group of external clients to be able to access the server through the mobile app.
I understand one method is to use a VPN. However, an additional app to put on someone's device may be a burden.
The Novell/Micro Focus Product Webaccess has a feature that allows the admin to specify users via an .xml file.
A snippet:

Unread posts in the API
I want to use the API to check if I have unread posts, but it doesn't seem the API contains such a counter. It contains a
msg_countand amention_cout, but not the counter I want.
There is still a possible hack:
For each channel in a team:
* Get the timestamp of the last visit
* Get the posts created after that timestamp
* Count them
Besides the fact that it's insanely complex compared to a simple yet handy counter in the API, it involves that we have to fetch the content of all the unread posts, which…23 votes -
Daily / weekly email digests
I know it sounds like the “email batching” feature added in Mattermost 3.4 https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/12903204-allow-email-batching-limiting
… but for non-professionnal environnement, a daily, weekly, or even 15 days or monthly “digests” of notifications and/or channels activities would be very useful. Even with one hour batches, members deactivates their notifications when they can't work everyday for the team.
“Slow projects” don't need immediate responses, and a moderate usage of notifications would be appreciated.
In some circonstances, a good (slow) timing of reminder could even drive members' involvement (e.g. for those who takes a few hours per week for a project).
This could be…
