mailgun as mail manager
Propose to use mailgun (an email service for developers) as an alternative to the SMTP server. The open-source blog platform ghost uses it and it is very easy to configure (instead of a whole server mail to install and secure).

Treat post selection as a reply
It is a constant struggle to keep all relevant messages associated to a thread. People don't see the reply icon or understand its significance. I'm not sure how to best solve that whole problem, but it'd help to make the concept of a reply more prominent if selecting a post is the equivalent of clicking the arrow icon.

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.

Offer an onboarding bot
An on-boarding bot helps new users to on-board into a work environment. In every channel a new team member enters the On-boarding Bot will send a message explaining the channel, what is done there, how the team member can get involved, whom to contact etc. This would help organizations and teams to work more efficiently.

Simplify chatbot integration by enabling bots to run sandboxed, in-process on the server
Currently if I want any sort of 'bot' behavior, I need to:
- Get an API token (ask an admin for permission)
- Stand up a server or learn serverless
- Figure out deployments/monitoring/logging
To test my code, I need to expose my in-progress work to the internet so it can receive webhooks.
This is a substantial bar to clear, resulting in monolithic projects like Hubot with many plugins.
Organizations implementing this style of bot frequently have only a handful of people who know how to contribute to it.
An alternative would be to support 'Managed bots': custom code (language TBD; javascript (via…

Allow interactive message button clicks to edit buttons on message
Currently, when a user clicks on an interactive message button, MM sends a request to a remote web server with some information. When the server responds, it can send in a Message json blob, but this does not allow you to change the buttons on the message.
For example, if I were making a poll integration, there might be vote buttons, and after voting, I might update the button message to thank the user, and present them with the options to see the results or hide the message. Currently this is not possible.

Ability to search all content (FOIA)
Sorry if this is already a feature (I'm a Mattermost noob) but I haven't found a way of doing this yet...
If we are going to implement this, we WILL need a way to search all content (Public/Private channels, Direct messages and Archived) for legal queries!
This is a basic requirement of all software we implement within Government!
Note: I am currently using the Team edition as a trial, so maybe it is a feature in the Enterprise version??

Remove team name restriction
Please remove the restriction for team names, because our company name starts with a number and we would like to have our first team to be named like our company name (name and URL).
This seems to be possible in the "GitLab Mattemost Team Edition" but not in the "Mattermost Enterprise Edition".

add support for custom server storage via SSH.
Currently the pull down menu for "File Storage System:" on /admin_console/files/storage only offers Local Storage and Amazon. I want to use my file server. So SSH access. (I guess WebDav for some people?)
That means that you would have a third option in the pull-down that says "Custom Server (SSH)" and the fields below it would be:
- Username
2a. Password OR
2b. Paste your public RSA key here
Server URL (ex - 'myfileserver.mycompany.com')
SSH port (default: 22)
root directory (default: ~)

Toggle the visibility of bot/webhook messages
I'd like a way to quickly hide/show bot and webhook messages in a channel. It would be easier to have conversations when the channel is regularly "spammed" by bot messages. Could be a simple button in the channel header

Better AWS S3 Integration
AWS S3 is a great option and I've gotten it working using an IAM role w policies to access that specific S3 bucket. What I'm suggesting is that instead of S3 being used as just a file "dump", there could be an optional setting for "Serve content directly from S3" (as well as perhaps another option available for "serve directly using cloudfront" - which would have a notice on the extra cost).
The idea is that instead of serving assets from the Mattermost instance itself, the objects in S3 could have presigned URL's set on them (with another setting for…6 votes -
provide system token authentication
We run a couple of scripts that access the Mattermost API, e.g. a script that posts a message to all Town Squares in all teams on our server and a script that creates user accounts (as we allow email login but disable email account creation so that we can control who creates accounts on the server). Right now we have the personal auth token of an administrator hardcoded in the scripts, but obviously this is suboptimal in case the administrator leaves the company, and messages appear to be sent from said administrator.
Therefore it would be great if administrators could…

Unsubscribe from email notifications directly from the email
Currently when you receive an email notification, you cannot unsubscribe from the notifications directly from the email. Instead, you must log in, then go to Account Settings > Notifications to turn them off.
Propose providing a link in the email which allows you to unsubscribe from the notifications without logging in, similar to Discourse.

Option in a channel: force view pinned posts
In some channels some messages are ‘must read’...
An option ‘I have read this one’ would be great then.
It would also be nice to be able to reorder the pinned posts.6 votes -
Allow additional patch params for api/v4/posts/.../patch
Patching posts via API currently only support "ispinned", "message", "fileids", "has_reactions" and "props".
It would be great to modify /models/posts.go Patch() func to allow patching "channelid", "rootid" and "parent_id", so re-threading and re-channeling of messages can be possible.
