Phishing detection

[ChristophWurst]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a Nextcloud Mail user, I want the app to help me detect phishing emails. Some of these phishing emails are not easy to spot.

Describe the solution you'd like

Run some sanity checks on the email (to be brainstormed) and

1. Show a warning
2. Disable external links
3. Offer to move the message to spam

Really important topic. I personally would like to get rid off all the fake DHL-notifications. But this is an essential feature for organisations.

Maybe add a hint if a mail comes from an address that is neither in "contacts" nor has send any mails before.
