Add more colors of notification dots, and let users set a color for each channel
This will make MM much less distracting since it's easier to ignore chatter on "less important" channels.

Autocomplete nickname with initial + Tab, and not only @initial + tab
Autocompleting usernames on initial followed by <Tab> has become a widespread standard since IRC, and is available in all Mattermost alternatives (Slack, HipChat, etc.).
Mattermost allows autocompleting usernames only when @ is used, but this serves a different purpose: linking usernames. Simple and straightforward autocompletion is still usefull in live conversations and the use of @ can be akward, or even difficult on some keyboard layouts. Simple autocompletion is actually missed by some users, and for instance I have a potential team member that refuses to join if he cannot use this basic feature he has been using for years. I miss it too, although not this extreme since I like Mattermost anyway.
There is already a suggestion on this topic, but it was flagged as
Completedone year and a half ago despite a comment from a moderator stating that the lack of autocompletion on simple usernames is a bug and should be fixed.Is there a temporary workaround I can use tu customize Mattermost's behaviour until this feature is added in a future version of Mattermost?
Thanks.

It'd be nice to be able to have the option to jot things down for diagramming ideas.

Desktop Notification should allow to answer right away (Desktop App, macOS)
On macOS, Desktop Notifications can offer a "Reply" Button in order to allow a user to answer to a message right from the received notification, which is very handy. I wish to have this feature in the Mattermost Desktop app as some of my users have used Hipchat before and they complain this feature is not available in Mattermost.

load to my last message
The idea is to have a link, "load to my last message", right beside "Load more messages", the goal of it is to "load all chat messages up to the last time I talked in that channel", this way rather than seeing messages backwards, I can just click it and read the channel in order from the time I left it. Seems like a rather simple addition.

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.

Protocol handler for deep linking to channel in desktop or mobile app
Use a protocol handler to get to channels within the desktop app with a format like:
"mattermost://channel?id=#{mattermostchannelid}&team=#{course.mattermostteamid}"Something similar could be implemented in the mobile apps too.
Some open questions:
- what happens if someone clicks the deep link but doesn't have the app open or installed?
- should the deep link work for public channels only?7 votes -

Support 3rd Party Push Notification Services such as Pushy
Google Play Services and GCM is blocked in China. This means that users that are not on VPN cannot get push notifications. The only known workarounds that I know of are using a 3rd party Push Notification service such as Baidu (http://push.baidu.com/doc/android/api) or Pushy (https://pushy.me/) or to run your own push notification service. I wish I didn't have to make this suggestion, but MatterMost is severely crippled by this and I dont see the geopolitics changing anytime soon.

Prevent non-admin users to rename channels
I'm aware of your business model and I'm fine with an advanced permissions system in the paid edition. I'm also aware that you carefully thought through the channel management for basic users (see https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/1764) and think it's a good way of approaching things.
But please, consider removing the ability for every one to rename channels. This is not useful, doesn't really make sense and more importantly leaves the ability for anyone to ruin a setup (prank or sabotage). It also gives a feeling of totally uncontrolled environment for these users.
This small feature makes me question the entire usage of this awesome chat, which makes me really sad.
Thank you.

Android App: Support Gitlab double auth
Actually having a mattermost instance connected to gitlab that use omniauth providers (in my case saml, github and google) is not compatible with the android client.
As it's working on IOS, I suggest that you evolve the android client to make it compatible.
From what I observe, the saml token is being truncated

Enable omission of message snippets in email notifications

view or copy source of a message
It would be really useful to reuse markdown messages.
Currently, Users can see raw message only when markdown is disabled.
And they can only copy their own messages.30 votes -
Allow Team Admins to see statistics for their Team
Currently only System Admins can see individual team statistics information but it would be helpful to allow team admins to see their own team's statistics.

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.

Create a wizz button, like the old MSN chat
Like the old school MSN chat, it will be nice to add a wizz button or slash command or something else ... ?, meaning we need you to pay more attention to our post, that could be triggered a move on the windows for desktop app, and/or a new notification message.
