add a plugin hook for search
If plugins had a hook when someone performs a search, they could customise the search experience, e.g. by querying other systems and offering those results too (maybe as an ephemeral post).
I would love to use mattermost search as our cross-platform search provider...

Linux desktop app: start hidden in tray without creating window itself
Instead of creating the application and minimizing it application start must be done without creating window itself.
Lack of this option I have discussed here https://forum.mattermost.org/t/solved-linux-mattermost-desktop-start-minimized-from-command-line/6321/18

Improve High Availability UI
Some improvements could help administration:
- In the Cluster Status table, highly the node that the user is currently connected to so it's obvious
- Provide a way to connect directly to the server on the local port to debug that specific server.
Any other ideas for improvement?

Add an API for getting private channels
As a system admin using the API, it would be useful to get a list of private channels for a team.
Currently, one can get posts for private channels through the
channels/{channel_id}/postsAPI, but that assumes that the admin knows the channel_id. Finding that ID cannot be done through the API.Use case: for reporting purposes, we want to get the count of messages per private channel each month.

Add notification timeout option
I've seen other thing saying there is a timeout option for notifications but I'm not seeing one in the Linux desktop app. Should it be there? If not, I'd really like a way to make the notifications to be persistent until I interact with them or Mattermost.

Make the text box background match the rest of the dark theme
When in either of the dark themes on the Android app, the text box has a white background which is super jarring. Can we get it matched with the rest of the theme please?

Include private channels to search based on current user membership
Make Mattermost API channels search method
( /teams/{team_id}/channels/search )
to include private channels where the current user is a member.E.g. if the user A is a member of channel B and user A performs channel search, it will get channel B in a response from server if B matches the term.
In Mattermost 5.5.0 search returns only public channels in results. The only way to find channel by display name is to get all channels current user is a member of and iterate over them on client side.

Add badge for new messages that's visible in a pinned tab.
When you've pinned a tab on your browser the badge that appears to show new messages within the client isn't visible. At best you have to hover to see a (*) that denotes new messages.
There should be an immediately visible badge on a pinned tab for unread messages.

Android Multi-Window support
Support the Android multi-window feature. Currently, resizing of the application window seemingly crashes the app.

Have the ability to jump directly to the first message in a channel
When a user needs to scroll up through a lot of history, it can take a lot of time and effort. It would be much better if there was a button or ability letting users to jump directly to the first message in a channel.

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 -
Embed Calender, etc
It would be nice if there would be the possibility to create channels in which you could fix an embed content in the upper area. E.g. a Google calendar which shows the weekly overview or an external service for data storage etc..
Alternatively, a bot that writes the Daily Todos in a channel like slack would be possible: https://get.slack.help/hc/de/articles/206329808-Google-Kalender-f%C3%BCr-Slack

Support CAS integration (Central Authentication Service)
THe idea is to suppor CAS integration (Central Authentication Service), as Gitlab does for example. It's a SSO system.
CAS is used in many universities, and supporting it would favorize deployment of mattermost in such environments.

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. :-)

one file installation on hosted servers
The installation should be only depending on a ftp-access to a hosted server storing data in flat files. Second best would be mysql connection.

Create the option to show the entire message in notifications.
It would be great if I can enable the option to show the entire message in notifications. Currently only the beginning of the message is passed to notification system.

Enable MFA reset through the system console
It would be nice if there were a way to reset someone's MFA configuration from the System Console instead of having to use the command line tool. For large teams, MFA devices are lost fairly frequently so it's burdensome to have to use the command line tool each time.

Enable pasting images into text bar for the iOS app.
Right now you cannot paste images into the text bar with the iOS app. This makes it difficult to share images by copying and pasting rather than saving and inserting. If I have an image in my clipboard, I would like to be able to long press in the text entry bar to trigger the paste button. This would then add the image to the text where I could review and either send or remove it.

Auto converted date time
In cases of a international team managing time zone is often difficult. It would be great if Mattermost supported some kind of timezone conversion. A user can choose his timezone in settings and when posting dates or times in a chat, a special syntax, probably something along the lines of (12:00 PM) would be required. The clients will auto convert the time to local users timezone while displaying. This could be an opt-in feature.
