Allow users to be set to disallow direct messages
At the moment, you can configure users to be allowed to send direct messages either to other members of the team or to anyone on the server.
I'd like to make it so that normal users cannot start direct messages at all.
My particular usecase may be a little out of the sweet spot - I have created a mattermost for my children (quite young) who I want to be able to chat with while they are doing their home learning, but don't want them using public chat systems. I am happy for them to interact with each other in the public channels I have created, but I don't want them distracting each other with lots of messages that are difficult for me to see.
My favourite scenario would be just for non admin users simply not be able to create new direct messages.
While this is specifically for a home learning situation, I believe it could be useful in a corporate world too, although there it would have to be per user - it might be the kind of restriction you'd want on external users from outside of your organisation.

Send E-Mail using Slash Command
We are using a e-mail-based ticket system (e.g., ticketsupport@company-name.org). As most of our communication switched to Mattermost, the only remainder is writing mails to create a ticket.
Therefore, it would be really convenient to send a e-mail using something like:
/[mail-address] ["Subject"] ["Body"]
The from address is the address used by Mattermost.6 votes -
Increase the maximum nickname length (or a pronoun field)
In our mattermost, users have been organically adding their pronouns to the end of their nickname, which is great, but when users have particularly long names, it's impossible for them to add more than 22 characters.
Example: "Joe Smith (he/him)" works fine at 18 characters, but "Alexander Bernard (They/Them)" at 29 characters goes well past the 22 character limit.
Because of the number of potential duplicate users based on their first name, there just isn't a good way to add pronouns, and it's difficult to explain that the 22 character limit on nicknames isn't able to be extended on our end.
Please consider extending the maximum length of this field, or adding a separate pronoun field that can be appended to the end of a user's name. It would help in our efforts to be inclusive.

Read-only channels but with threads allowed
Hello,
It would be nice to have an ability to restrict messages in the channel but allow messages in the threads for the channel.
So that channel looks like a forum. Only answers to the posts are allowed.

Limit custom emoji visibility to some channels
By default custom emojis are available to every user in the server in every channel.
I would like to be able to restrain the visibility of a custom emoji I upload.
When uploading a custom emoji, I would like to pick in which channel it can be selected.I am interested in implementing this feature myself.

Make team tabs optional
The new wide tab bar steals useful screen real estate, introduces visual redundancy to our single-server setup (team name mentioned twice within a really small area of UI), and makes the app look even less at home on macOS. The old top of the window bar at least looked native. Please consider making the tab bar optional at least in single-server environments.

Android back button navigate through Mattermost app window history
I suggest that the back button should work more similar to other chat applications on the mobile platform. At the moment pressing the back button (or gesture) prompts for confirmation to close the application.
It feels more natural to go back to the previous channel, direct message, etc.For example:
I receive a direct message notification and I click on it. I am taken to the direct message. I then activate the drawer and move to another channel. To get back to the prevoius direct message or channel it would be handy to just press the back key.
Similarly I would press the back key until there are no more screens in history at which time pressing back again should prompt to exit the application.

Server wide channel groupings (like discord)
https://discord.com has the ability to create channel grouping for the server, so all users have the same groupings.
Presently mattermost has this for each user, and while very useful (and should remain!), having the ability to craft default groups for all users would greatly improve the ability to sort channels for larger organizations and enterprise users.

Support embedding a channel in a web page
Collaborative apps would greatly benefit from reusing a robust and mature chat system, instead of reimplementing a shitty one (think Google Meet's side chat). It would be great if Mattermost could allow an existing channel (or a newly-created one) to be embedded inside an iframe that communicates with the host window e.g. via postMessage or similar mechanism.

Button to minimize inline images (ex: GIFs plugin)
Users can minimize an image preview of an URL that is directly pasted in the message, with the cross button at the top left corner. However, there is no such button if the same image is inlined with the folowwing syntax .
It'd be useful to have a way of minimizing inline images, like Slack does and like Mattermost does for raw URL previews.
This is a follow-up on multiple requests from the users of moussetc/mattermost-plugin-giphy on GitHub (Issue 12).

Mattermost Bulk Export Single / Selected Team
While the current Bulk Export Tool - https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/bulk-export.html#running-the-bulk-export-command - allows backend admins to export all the teams based on the following command:
sudo ./mattermost export bulk /home/user/bulk_data.json --all-teams
It will be great to have the ability to export single / selected team to remove any "inactive" teams when moving / migrating systems around.
The current workaround of removing unwanted teams from the export file is not ideal for instances that have a large number of teams.

Managing team members via drag n drop
Hello everybody,
in the last time I set some teams in our Mattermost and some teams have many members. Currently you have to choise the member as direct chat and then you can drop him in the team you want.
Is it possible that we can get the same mask for direct chat for the manageing of the teams, too? That would reduce the time for managing of the teams.1 vote -
Option to disable spell checking
Currently, spell checking is always enabled and cannot be disabled.
To some users, the red underlining is visually distracting. Also, the spell checker is currently unable to detect on-the-fly, in-sentence language switching, which is sometimes used in mixed-language teams or when discussing mixed-language subjects (like programming).
Therefore, I'd like to suggest adding an option to permanently disable spell checking - either in the configuration, or, in the input bar's context menu, where the spell check language is usually selected.
In the input bar it could look like this:

Add filter to show only channels with unread messages (or recent activity)
I like Mattermost but frequently the list of collaborators gets long and I have to scroll between active chats.
I think a filter feature would be useful to show only certain chats, e.g.
- channels with unread messages
- filter by textCombined with "pinned channels" this would help to focus on the active stuff even without giving Mattermost an entire (large) screen.
