Automatically delete the oldest attachments when approaching a set storage limit
If I have a 20GB server instance, and we're posting big files all the time, we'll hit that pretty quickly. If we hit it, the server will slow down and start rejecting uploads or having errors. Instead, I should be able to set it to limit the total attachment storage to, say, 15gb, and it should aim to stay under that by deleting the oldest stuff.

Noification through Taskbar blink for new messages
There are instances when I am away from my PC and when I come back, I want my attention to be pulled to mattermost if I have new messages. A taskbar blink on new messages will do that.
Now I have to remember to open mattermost every once in a while, which you tend to forget when you are busy with other work.17 votes -
Add custom user groups for mentions
Add cusom user groups for mentions. Something like @developers or @frontend to mention all members of group in this channel. Also it would be useful for large teams, when novices does not know who is who - with this feature they can determinate at least group

Make Up Arrow behavior configurable
When you press Up Arrow, your expectations of what will happen may differ. A user coming from Slack might expect the current behavior, where you are allowed to edit your last message. A user coming from IRC, however, would like expect to cycle through his last typed messages by pressing Up Arrow one or several times. And there's an existing suggestion that it cycles through slash commands.
There is only one Up Arrow button, so the best compromise will likely be to make it user configurable. This would of course also depend on the two latter options being implemented.

Display extended message preview on hover
When you hover a reference to an existing message (such as where one has been quoted in a thread), it would be neat if, when you hover the pointer above the abridged message preview, you could see the full text. This would save a click or two.

Automatically expand permalinked messages
When you paste a permalink in the channel, it displays as any other
link. It would be great if these were automatically recognized, and
expanded with a preview of the message (similar to when you reply to a message), together with the Jump button so you can easily jump to that point in history without reloading the entire tab (or opening a new
tab).18 votes -
Add badge for all unread non-mention messages

Add user_real_name to outgoing slash commands or webhooks
An outgoing /slash command from mattermost sends information including the token, userid and username in the POST.
We would also like to see userrealname in the POST, without having to do another API call.
For example:
channelid=cniah6qa73bjjjan6mzn11f4ie&
channelname=town-square&
command=/somecommand&
responseurl=not+supported+yet&
teamdomain=someteam&
teamid=rdc9bgriktyx9p4kowh3dmgqyc&
text=hello+world&
token=xr3j5x3p4pfk7kk6ck7b4e6ghh&
userid=c3a4cqe3dfy6dgopqt8ai3hydh&
username=freddy
userreal_name=Fred+Smith1 vote -
Preinstalled "matter-bot"
I´m just stealing the idea from slack ;)
I would like to see a simple bot that I can configure much like the "Slack Bot" (https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/202026038-Slackbot-your-assistant-notepad-programmable-bot)
This is a great and simple way to get started with bots!

Message automatic deletion a la snapchat
I'm trying Mattermost on a large organization as a professional communication tool surrounding but not overlapping formal previous communication tools that will remain (email, business specific tools, etc). To achive that, Mattermost messages are meant to be sended/received, read, and then expire and dissapear. We don't need a new static, searchable communication tool (yet on steroids), but a volatile one in order to support teams internal dynamics, but not to remain logged.
I've thougth of a sort of bot checking times been read or time from post on every message and deleting on checking pre-defined conditions, but this would be…17 votes -
Enable setup as a Tor hidden service (like XMPP servers)
Many people use XMPP servers for instant messaging due to it's decentralisation. And many of these providers also have hidden service servers (.onion addresses)
If Mattermost wants to be competitive with other popular instant messaging programs like XMPP (Jabber) then it needs to allow easy setup of hidden service servers, ideally with a wizard setup installer.

Add option to restrict DMs to users who share at least 1 team
Proposed text:
System Console > Team Settings > Direct Message options
Enable users to open Direct Message channels with:
- Any user on the Mattermost server // default
- Any member of a team on which a user is also a team member
Help text: ”Any user on the Mattermost server” enables users to open a Direct Message channel with any user on the server, even if they are not on any teams together. "Any member of a team on which a user is also a team member" limits the ability to open Direct Message channels to only users who share at…

Add better filters/search for messages and attachments
Have a panel in the sidebar (similar to Slack) to view all available files/your files for the team/channel. Filters by file type and being able to search the filename would also be nice.
Have additional search filters (again similar to Slack) such as the time/duration or the has: qualifier (e.g. has: link)

Add Ability to allow webhooks in private channels
Add a control to allow webhooks to work in private channels. A per webhook control would be best, but an all or nothing would be a good start.

Server facilitated encryption of database contents
This feature proposal is for the ability to encrypt posts/direct messages in the database, with a server-side encryption of the database contents.
522 votesHey all, we’ve outlined available encryption options here: https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/encryption.html
Would love to hear feedback from everyone who contributed to this feature proposal!

Provide an option to only show channels with unread messages
We have a Mattermost installation where I'm subscribed to 24 channels, most of which are fairly quiet. Except for the channels that are at the top and bottom of the list (of course). I'm continually scrolling up and down.
I'd like to have an option that hides channels that have no unread messages. Hiding all-read private groups and DMs would be a bonus.
96 votesThanks Brian and others for suggesting this feature!
We are considering to add a setting to hide all read channels in the sidebar: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-7502
In the meantime, there are two features that can help your teams:
1) Mattermost v4.7+ supports a setting to group all unread channels at the top. This makes it easier to find all your unreads. It must first be enabled by your System Admin: https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html#group-unread-channels-experimental
2) Mattermost v4.9+ shows unread channels when using the channel switcher (CMD/CTRL+K) -
marking posts as read on viewing, not all in channel at once
For example I have off-topic channel with 1000 unread messages. I want to read them all, but it takes 15 minutes or more. I start reading, read about 200 messages, but at that time I receive very important direct message, or mention in other channel. I switch to that channel, do what I need, but when I come back to off-topic channel, i have all messages marked as read. moreover - I instantly jump to the end of a channel, not to place where i stop reading.
Also even if channel is opened, but i am reading something in past…
