    Sorry Michael for the late response,

    For the feature you request, it's doable but we have to think about it. I hope next year Mail will be updated and some of your new features requests could be added.

    Mail has the capability "local/mail:usemail" that allows to enable or disable the use of Mail in any course.

    Cheers

    Hi Ali,

    It's not possible to restrict adding users only to CC.

    In case students are not allowed to view other profiles you have to set capability "moodle/user:viewdetails" to Not set.

    Cheers

    Thanks for your response Marc. The tip about being able to disable the messaging function in a course was valuable to us. When I disable the function for students in a course, they come to the page where they have to choose a course, I would have liked there to be a text box above the drop-down menu where the students choose a course where we can adapt the text via the language editor, e.g. "Select your course, if you do not find your course, the function may be disabled in the course"

    Hola Marc,

    Gracias por el plugin, es muy útil.

    La única cosa que echamos de menos, y quería saber si es posible, es que cuando se envíe un email a través del plugin envíe una copia del email o una notificación al correo personal del alumno. ¿Es posible?

    El problema que tenemos es que solo son conscientes de la recepción de los emails cuando entran en la plataforma, por lo que no podemos utilizarlo para muchas cosas.

    Muchas gracias!!

    Hola, Eurecat Academy,

    Mail utiliza las notificaciones de Moodle, por lo que cada usuario puede configurar en sus preferencias dónde quiere recibirlas.

    En las «Preferencias de notificación» tenéis la sección «Correo» y la opción «Notificación de correo recibido», allí cada usuario ha de marcar que quiere recibir las notificaciones al «Email».

    Saludos

    Hello developers,

    Thank you for this amazing feature. I have a question. Is this plugin compatible to use in the Moodle Mobile App?

    Thank you

    Hola, Juan,

    Actualmente no es compatible con la aplicación móvil, pero puede haber sorpresas para este mismo año.

    Hi Alex Aranda,

    Instead of raising a warning about the plugin, please provide detailed steps to reproduce the bug if you think there is a bug.

    As I explained in the response to your pull requests, there's is no XSS vulnerability: the content is sanitized by Moodle before displaying it.

    I urge you to learn about Moodle programming if you want to contribute to Moodle core or plugins: https://moodledev.io/

    Hola gente, como están?, hago una consulta, tengo instalado Moodle 3.9 y local_mail 2017121405, release 1.9.10, en curso de 100 alumnos puedo seleccionar con el botón para a todos los participantes, pero en un curso de 118 alumnos me dice que hay muchos registros y no los puede mostrar, existe alguna configuración para cambiar la cantidad de recipientes/destinatarios que muestra la interfaz de local_mail?, salu2 y gracias
