voice channels (like discord or mumble)
Would be fantastic for my team to be able to have a static voice channel to join instead of creating a conference every time.

Sending emails to Mattermost
Like this in Slack
https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/206819278-Sending-emails-to-SlackThere is a workaround with Mattermail, but it means for each channel I need to create an email (alias) which is cumbersome.

search through all teams
Right now the scope of the search feature is limited to the current team. It would be great to have option allowing to specify the scope: channel, team, global (for example)

Away Status Configuration
Just to expand on the original idea located here:
https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/17128663-configurable-away-time
Auto-away should at least be configurable in terms of minutes, or an option should exist to disable it completely. These settings should exist per user, but I'm not sure how much value it would add if the administrator determines the configuration for the team.

Do not disturb hours
Mattermost has a manual Do Not Disturb feature, which is nice. However, it would be extra nice to have "Do Not Disturb hours" for each account, so individuals can set certain hours when Do Not Disturb is automatically enabled for their account. It would be extra nice if these were automatically set on account creation to common bedtime hours in the local time zone; for instance 10pm to 7am. This is a nice work/life balance feature that encourages people to get enough sleep by default. :-)

Adding users to group DM should provide an option to keep history
When you have a multi user direct message and you add new members (as a conversation grows to need more people) you end up creating a new DM with no history. Instead mattermost should provide an option to keep the history available.

Add a Windows universal app so that Windows 10 Mobile rollouts can use Mattermost
Let's go Windows Universal with this, and bring Mattermost to a whole new market of Windows 10 Mobile users who're waiting for first party apps for apps just like this. Then Mattermost truly becomes a Slack competitor.

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.

FreeBSD support
It would be great it mattermost is supported in FreeBSD.
I think in order to support more OS, specially BSD unixes, mattermost should not depend from Docker.
For instance Docker doesn't well supported on FreeBSD.178 votes -
Build Android app without Google Play Services
The Android app requires the Google Play Services because it uses GCM for push notifications. This library is not open-source so it prevents Mattermost from being included in FOSS repositories like F-Droid.
It would be nice to have an option that builds the app without GCM.174 votes -
Integration with owncloud
Integration with the on-premise, open source owncloud file sync and share would make mattermost a powerfull tool for team communication and collaboration. It seems the work on webhoks will enable this indirectly (https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/8786968-add-slack-like-integrations) but it would be great if you could provide dedicated owncloud integration so that files stored in owncloud can be shared and linked to from mattermost conversations.

Use a different color thread bar for different threads
When there are multiple threads going on in the same channel, all lines are prefixed by a grey vertical bar. The only way to separate the threads is to read the reference message. If the vertical bars had different colors (randomly selected), it would be easy to at a glance see which messages belongs to which threads.

way to turn off emoticons?
from https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/1982, Skype etc. allow you to turn off emoticons, so that you get the raw text input instead of the converted smiley face. Not everyone appreciates chat filled with emoji, so it'd be a nice feature to have emoticon rendering a setting people can turn on or off (note that this is about MM-conversion of one an ASCII sequence into an emoticon. If someone types an actual unicode emoji, then that's what they intended to type. But if someone types a colon, a dash, and a closing parenthesis, they did not type a smiley icon, and not everyone…

Add ability to move mistaken thread replies in a channel to the intended thread
If a user misses replying to a thread in a channel and instead replies directly to the channel, this message is not part of the thread that it was intended to be and the conversation is not clear.
There should be a way for a user or channel admin to move a message to the intended thread inside the channel and keep it inline with the on-going threaded conversation (since everything is timestamped this seems possible).
This would clean up the conversations and mistakes that users will make.

If anyone would be interested testing it, you can help out here: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/pull/9165
PS: Previous update incorrectly mentioned that this an Enterprise Edition feature.

Have the option to configure special/specific notification sounds based on keywords
Currently it is not possible to have notifications triggered based on keywords, for example if there are any emergency keywords, a certain ringtone or vibration (or both) will be triggered.
This would be important in the event of any emergency that requires immediate action.

Add a way to spoiler some messages or part of messages
I think it would be a great idea to add spoiler tags like message or message but for spoilers (i.e ^This is a spoil^)
There are several ways to implement this:
-By having an expand/close button for showing/hiding the message
-By having to select the text to see it
-By having to hover on the text with the cursor to see it (might be problematic for touch-based devices)I suggest discussing on what is the best for mattermost.
148 votesFor now, a plugin can be used: https://github.com/moussetc/mattermost-plugin-spoiler.
