Adding Email Composition to Merkuro (formerly Kalendar)

This project adds the ability to compose and send emails from Merkuro and this would improve the application in several ways. First, it would make it easier for users to manage their email from a single place by allowing users to compose emails without changing email clients. Merkuro already has a number of features that help users stay organized, such as the ability to create and manage calendars, tasks, and contacts. Having an email composition is a basic necessity of email clients. Adding email composition to merkuro would make it more competitive with other calendar applications. Many popular calendar applications, such as Thunderbird, Google Calendar and Outlook, already have the ability to compose and send emails. Merkuro would need to add this feature in order to stay competitive

Frontend for email composition

This was developed after constant discussion with the community. The initial proposed UI of email composition was changed and improved upon with the help of my mentors and community members.
