Stop offering to share mail folders, and let a share be removed
Sharing a mail folder does nothing. `Mailbox/set` takes the `shareWith` map, `Mailbox/get` reads it back, and the folder never appears for the account it was shared with -- confirmed on the live 0.16.19 with a folder shared read-only to another account on the same server, which never saw it. Stalwart's sharing documentation lists calendars, address books and file storage; mail folders are not among them. Nothing anywhere reports a failure, so a client that trusts what it reads back shows the share as live for ever, which is what happened. The entry point is withdrawn. Address book sharing goes with it on a report that it behaved the same way -- not reproduced, and contradicted by Stalwart's own docs, so that one is expected back; it is out because offering a share nobody can verify was worse than the gap. Files and calendars are untouched. Removing a share was impossible, for a reason worth writing down. The dialog rendered the list of who a thing was shared with *inside* the branch that runs when the directory has principals to offer. A server with `allowDirectoryQueries` off returns none -- that is the default, and it is how these shares came to be made in the first place -- so the dialog showed one line of hint and nothing else. The share was there, and there was no way to see it, let alone remove it. The list is now rendered whatever the directory says; only the control for adding somebody new depends on having somebody to add. So the withdrawn entry points do not strand what they created: a folder or book already shared still offers "Stop sharing", which is the one thing you want when the share is invisible everywhere else. The API was never the problem, which is worth recording since it was the first guess: `shareWith: null` is accepted and clears the map, tested against the live server on the stuck folder, which is now unshared.

- **Sharing a mail folder.** Stalwart stores the share and never delivers it; see [KNOWN-ISSUES.md](KNOWN-ISSUES.md). Withdrawn until the server does something with it. **Address book sharing** is withdrawn with it on a report that has not been reproduced, and is expected back — Stalwart documents it as supported. Sharing files and calendars is unaffected.

- Snooze (nothing in JMAP or Stalwart supports it, and ihasmail never stores a password, so nothing could act on a mailbox while you are away)

- Translations (strings are English-only for now)

- **Two-factor sign-in.** Today an account with 2FA must use an app password (see [Quick start](README.md#quick-start-docker)), and Settings › Security offers no way to switch 2FA *on* — only off, for an account that already has it. Supporting a TOTP code directly means implementing OAuth: Stalwart offers the authorization-code and device flows and no password grant, so ihasmail would hand sign-in to Stalwart's own login and come back with a token. That is a better security posture than the sealed password it holds now — a refresh token rather than a credential — but it replaces ihasmail's own sign-in page for those users and may need an OAuth client registered.
