Redmine Mentions Inbox¶

Redmine Mentions Inbox adds a simple internal inbox for the User First Name User Last Name mentions already supported by Redmine.

Users get an unread counter in the account menu, a searchable list of their mentions, direct links to the exact issue comment, and controls to mark one or all notifications as read. The plugin checks current issue and private-note permissions before displaying or opening every notification.

It has no external dependencies and does not require Redis, WebSockets or a message broker.
