Second extraction pass: the strings the codemod could not see
`i18n:coverage` reported 100% while a hundred-odd strings rendered
English in every language. It was not wrong about what it measured: it
reads JSX text, and none of these were JSX text. They were toast
arguments, `confirmDialog({ title, confirmLabel })` props, `title=` and
`aria-label=` attributes, and template literals — every one built from an
expression the codemod cannot read.
176 source strings and 15 plural sets now go through t() and plural(),
translated into all nine languages. Where English put a word in a slot,
the sentence is spelled out per branch instead: `Filter ${verb}` became
"Filter saved" and "Filter created", because which word agrees with what,
and where it sits, is not a property English gets to decide for everyone.
Counts that were `${n} message${n === 1 ? "" : "s"}` are plural() calls,
so Russian and Ukrainian get three forms and Japanese and Chinese get the
one they actually have.
Two of the catalogue's own conventions were worth learning the hard way.
Plural entries are keyed on the English *other* form, not `one` — `one`
is a form English happens to have and Japanese does not. And a constant
table holding English that is translated at the render site is fine: the
literal is a key, not a leak.
Which is what the new check encodes. `scripts/i18n-literals.mjs` accepts
a string that is wrapped where it is written or is a catalogue key
somewhere, and refuses one that is neither — a string no catalogue can
translate, however many languages ship. It found twenty more than my own
sweep had, including the stale-folder toast seen in production. It runs
as part of `npm run i18n:check`.
Also fixed: the catalogue is now awaited before the first paint. The
tree is rebuilt when a catalogue lands, so components recover on their
own, but a string computed in an effect does not — a toast fired in that
gap is emitted in English and stays English. The wait costs nothing
visible, since the session bootstrap already shows a spinner and English
resolves immediately.
And the Japanese agenda title loses a space Japanese does not use:
"{date} からの予定" was written with the English habit of spacing around
a placeholder.

Folder names follow the language, and three bugs that found
Answering "can we ask Stalwart to serve German folder names": no, and it would not help if we could. The account locale exists in `x:AccountSettings`, and ihasmail already reads it -- that is what "Your mail server reports German" comes from -- but writing it needs `sysAccountSettingsSet`, which the built-in user role does not carry; only an admin could. And even then it would change nothing, because folder names are stored data written once when the account is provisioned. No server renames them afterwards; every other client has them mapped. The role is the way through. JMAP tags the standard folders and ihasmail already trusts the role over the name everywhere it matters, so the *displayed* name can follow the interface language with nothing written to the server. A folder somebody made and called "Newsletters" keeps that name: those are their words, and translating them would name a folder they never created. The cost is real and worth stating: Thunderbird on the same account still shows "Deleted Items", because that is what the folder is called. Inside ihasmail it stays consistent -- everything that names a folder goes through one function, including the "moved to …" toast, which exists precisely so that message does not name somewhere the reader cannot find. Renaming still edits the server's own name, never the localised one. Three things fell out of it. The message list refreshed for ever after a language change, which is the one somebody noticed. The root keys its tree on the language version, so a publish remounts everything; remounting re-runs the effect that loads the account's settings, which calls applyLang, which called setCatalog again -- with an identical tag and an identical catalogue -- and publishing that non-change went round again. setCatalog now returns early when nothing changed. Measured rather than assumed: three consecutive five-second windows with no JMAP calls at all, against a pre-change count that never settled. Calendar months and weekdays stayed English, because formatting locale and interface language are separate settings and only the first feeds Intl. Keeping them separate is right -- German dates with an English interface is a real preference -- but somebody who picks German and is shown "September" has not got what they asked for. A chosen interface language now joins the *automatic* chain ahead of the server and the browser. Setting a formatting locale explicitly still wins, and English is not counted, so an English interface on a German browser keeps German dates exactly as before. And the Archive folder read "Archivieren", which is the verb. English uses one word for the button and the folder; German does not, and neither does "Important", which is also a priority tag. tc(context, source) keys the catalogue on both and falls back to the plain English, which was right in English all along -- the gettext approach, including the control character as separator so no real string can collide. The catalogue checker needed teaching about tc() twice: first it reported the eight contextual entries as stale, then it asked for the plain fallbacks as though they were a second obligation. A check that reports work which does not exist gets switched off, which is worse than not having one. |

German, generated by AI and marked Beta until somebody signs it off
The first language, and the first one where the honest thing to say is not flattering: no native speaker has read it. That is stated in the app rather than in a commit nobody reads, because it is the fact a reader needs to judge what they are looking at. Somebody told a translation is unchecked forgives an odd sentence and reports it; somebody told it was reviewed reasonably concludes the product is sloppy. The setting carries a link straight to a report, which is the whole review process here. `beta` is a property of the language, not of the catalogue's completeness. A file can be word-for-word finished and still read like a machine wrote it, and that is what the flag marks. Removing it is a person's decision. Register is "Sie", consistently, and written down in the file so the next language and the next contributor inherit the decision rather than re-take it. Thunderbird and Outlook use it; ihasmail is as often a company's mail as somebody's own, where "du" from software the workplace deployed reads as presumptuous. Where a string can dodge the question it does, which is ordinary good German UI. The glossary at the top of the file fixes the vocabulary once -- Posteingang, Papierkorb, Entwürfe, archivieren -- because inconsistency reads as amateur far more than an imperfect word choice does. "Label" and "Spam" stay English, since translating them would name things no German mail client calls that. 766 of 781 strings. The fifteen left are product names, bare URLs and example addresses, which should stay English and now do. Two things this turned up that the earlier work had hidden: Labels defined as module-level constants -- the entire settings navigation, the theme cards, the swipe choices, the date formats, the sharing permissions -- are evaluated once, before any catalogue loads, so they could only ever be English. Nothing failed; the German build simply had an English sidebar. They are translated where they render now, which keeps the constant as data and makes its English text the key. And the codemod's narrowed rule, which let it take 73 more strings last time, was too broad after all: text stranded after an inline <a> or <strong> came through as sentence fragments -- ", and what a new account starts on." Eight of them, rebuilt with tNode so the sentence stays whole and the element is a named hole a translator can move. scripts/i18n-catalog-check.mjs is new and earned itself immediately: it found three keys invented that the code never asks for, which is the silent failure in a catalogue -- a translation that looks right, is never looked up, and renders English for ever. It also had to be taught about t(variable), because it cried wolf 33 times over the constants above, and a check that cries wolf gets switched off. Verified in the browser rather than only in tests, which is where the settings sidebar being English was visible and nowhere else. |

Finish extraction: 100%, and a coverage number worth believing
The 143 the codemod refused turned out to be two different things, and only
one of them needed a person.
A third were phrases sitting next to an icon -- `<Plus /> New rule`. The
refusal rule was "has siblings", which is broader than the danger: what breaks
a translation is a sibling that renders *text*, splitting a sentence into
fragments no one can reorder. An element beside a phrase does not. Narrowing
the rule to text-producing siblings let the codemod take 73 more.
The rest were real sentences with values in the middle, rebuilt by hand as
named placeholders -- "Your active script “{name}” was written by hand",
"Waiting on the server — goes out {when}." Named rather than positional
because a translator moves the parts around; counted things go through
plural() so Russian and Ukrainian get their three forms rather than English's
two.
Sentences with an element inside them needed something new. `Open <code>mailto:
</code> links in ihasmail` has two obvious treatments and both are wrong:
splitting it into two t() calls hands over fragments that cannot be reordered,
and dropping the <code> keeps the sentence whole but loses the monospace that
said "this is a literal". tNode() keeps the sentence whole and makes the
element a named hole in it, so a translator sees one sentence and can put the
hole where their language wants it. The German test asserts exactly that: the
same call renders the code first when the catalogue says so.
The coverage number was also lying, and it is worth saying how. It counted
text inside <code> and inside translate="no" as untranslated work, and
placeholders like "123456" and "+1 555 0100" -- a one-time code and a phone
format. None of those will ever be translated, so the report sat at 21 with 6
real items left. A number with an unreachable floor is something to argue with
rather than act on, so the tool now applies the same rules the codemod does.
596 wrapped, nothing remaining. Verified in the browser across 15 views, which
is where the last bulk pass hid a bug the tests could not see: no entities, no
unfilled placeholders, no raw t( in rendered text, and the toggle switches that
looked like emptied labels are text-free by design.

Extract 515 strings by codemod, and the two bugs only a screenshot caught
Wrapping ~1,000 strings by hand is a thousand chances to mistype the copy
itself, and a parser does not get bored. scripts/i18n-extract.mjs does the
mechanical part -- JSX text and the attributes a person actually reads -- and
refuses the rest rather than guessing. 78% now: 515 wrapped, 143 left.
What it refuses matters as much as what it does. Text split around an
interpolation arrives as separate fragments, and wrapping each on its own
produces "Move " and " messages", which no translator can do anything with;
those are listed for a person to rebuild as sentences. So is anything
containing a double quote, which would end the literal.
Three things it had to be taught, each found by running it:
- <code>, <kbd> and <pre> are not prose. The first run wrapped `label:name`
inside <code> -- a search operator, where translating it breaks the thing it
documents. Subtrees marked translate="no" are skipped for the same reason.
- `t` is a natural name for a callback parameter and several files already use
it, so an import called `t` is shadowed inside those callbacks -- silently,
wherever the local happens to be callable. The name is checked per file now
and aliased to `translate` where it is taken.
- JSX decodes HTML entities and a JS string literal does not, so
`Language & region` moved into t("...") and rendered the entity on screen.
That last one is the one worth remembering. Typecheck passed, 443 tests
passed, and the page said "Language & region" in plain sight. It took
looking at a screenshot, and then a sweep of ten views to find the second
occurrence in a sentence I had written by hand earlier the same day. Nothing
in the toolchain was ever going to catch it: it is valid TypeScript rendering
valid text that happens to be wrong.
The codemod decodes entities now, and checks for a quote after decoding rather
than before.

Defend against Chrome rewriting the DOM, and add the language setting
Groundwork for un-shelving translations. Chrome's translator rewrites the rendered DOM directly, wrapping text nodes in <font> elements React has never heard of, and the next update can then call removeChild against a parent whose children have moved (facebook/react#11538). This is the structural defence against that, plus the setting the served language will read from. The language setting is `uiLanguage`, and it is deliberately not the `locale` field that already exists. That one is a formatting choice -- what calendar, clock and numerals to use -- and folding the two together would silently rewrite everybody's date format the first time they picked a language. German dates with an English interface is a real preference, and so is the reverse. It defaults to English when absent, which covers both a new account and every settings file written before this, and Accept-Language is not consulted: a served locale should be something the reader chose rather than something guessed and then written down as though they had. Only languages with strings shipped are offered, which today means English alone -- a picker entry without a catalogue behind it would leave the page claiming a language it is not in, which stops a reader translating a page they cannot read. `<html lang>` is set where applyTheme is set: at store module load, from the localStorage cache, before createRoot() has rendered anything. Not in an effect -- a lang that is briefly wrong is enough to raise the translate prompt on a page that needed none. There is no server-rendered alternative to reach for here: ihasmail serves a static shell and holds no account state, and the settings file lives in the reader's own JMAP Files, so reading it before the page existed would mean authenticating to Stalwart on every page load. The static lang="en" in index.html covers the first bytes; the store only ever corrects a reader who chose otherwise. Both halves are tested. translate="no" and class="notranslate" go on the narrow boundaries only: rendered email bodies, raw message source, attachment text, the generated and hand-edited Sieve, the brand and the login name. Not on <body> -- someone whose language ihasmail does not speak yet should still be able to translate the parts that are ours. Email bodies turn out to live in a shadow root, so React never reconciles them and they were never a crash risk; the marker there is about not rewriting what a sender actually wrote. Twenty-four fragile interpolation points were found with the TypeScript parser rather than grep, and fifteen refactored. Pluralisation and "count + label" pairs are collapsed into a single expression so the text is a lone child React updates with textContent, rather than a text node with conditional siblings to insert around. One of them -- InviteCard's {method === "REPLY" && organizer ? "" : ""} -- rendered an empty string either way and is simply gone. The boundary is scoped to the main content, so the header, folder tree and any open composer sit outside it and survive independently. It recovers by remounting the subtree, which costs nothing because everything inside re-derives from the stores, and it logs at info rather than error: a reader translating a page is expected and recovered from, and filing it as an error would put an entry in every console-reading reporter for behaviour that worked. It re-raises anything that is not a DOM mutation error, so a real bug still surfaces as one, and it gives up after three attempts rather than looping invisibly. Worth recording: the crash could not be reproduced on React 19.2.8. Wrapping 207-249 React-managed text nodes in <font>, exactly as the translator does, then driving in-place conditional toggles and navigations, left the app intact with the boundary never firing. The original issue is from React 16 and the reconciler has changed a great deal since. So this lands as defence whose premise is weaker than assumed rather than as a fix for something observed here, and the boundary is insurance rather than a load-bearing part. The notranslate markers and the collapsed interpolations stand on their own merits either way. |

Give the mail list the gestures a phone already has
ihasmail's mail list was built for a mouse. A row is clicked, right-clicked and dragged into a folder, and on a touchscreen two of those three do not exist -- so the phone layout had the shape of a mail app and none of the handling, and the things people reach for first simply did nothing. Four gestures, all touch-only, so a mouse keeps drag-to-folder unchanged: - Swipe a row sideways to act on it. Each direction is a setting -- right archives and left deletes by default, matching the app the phone came with -- and the strip revealed behind the row names what will happen in the folder it is happening in: "Delete forever" out of Deleted Items, "Not spam" inside Junk Mail, and nothing at all where the action is a no-op, in which case the row will not move that way. - Hold a row to select it. Selection was reachable already, by aiming at a checkbox beside an avatar, which is not how anyone selects mail on a phone. The selection toolbar gained an overflow menu at the same time: report spam, mark unread and label were hidden on narrow screens and had nowhere else to be, so touch selection could not reach them at all. - Hold a folder for the menu its ⋮ button opens. - Pull the list down to refresh, and drag in from the left edge of a conversation to go back. The toolbar's button and arrow both stay: a gesture with no visible control is one only the people who already know about it can use. The arithmetic behind them is in lib/touch.ts, away from the components and under test, because the numbers are the whole thing: an axis lock biased towards the vertical, so a diagonal flick stays a scroll rather than deleting whatever it passes over. Two layout bugs turned up while checking this on a 390px screen, both older than the gestures. The app shell is a grid with only its rows named, so it took an implicit auto column sized to the top bar's min-content -- about 470px -- and every message row ran off the right of the glass with its date beyond the edge. The column is now stated as minmax(0, 1fr), and the search field is allowed to shrink. Full-screen surfaces measure in dvh rather than vh, and the tab bar, drawer and compose button keep out from under the notch and the home indicator. |

Resolve the base event id in the calendar store, not at the call sites
Closes #133. `updateEvent`, `destroyEvent` and `rsvp` took an id and sent it. The `baseEventId ?? id` that made them hit the series lived at four call sites instead, and every one of them happened to be right. That was backstopped by the server until now. Through 0.16.19 a synthetic id reaching `destroy` came back as "Deleting synthetic ids is not yet supported" and the user saw a toast. 0.16.20 accepts it and removes one date instead, reporting success under a dialog that said "Delete all occurrences?" - so a forgotten `??` became silent data loss rather than an error. The three methods now take the event and a required `scope`, and there is exactly one place that turns an event into an id. A caller that wants the series cannot get an occurrence by forgetting anything; a caller that wants one occurrence has to say so. `rsvp` takes the event rather than an id for the same reason, and no longer looks it up: its patch is `participants/{key}/participationStatus`, which is one of the pointers 0.16.20 *allows* on an occurrence, so aimed at an instance it would quietly mean "only that day". `findByUid` says in a comment that its query omits `expandRecurrences` on purpose, since InviteCard hands the result straight to `destroyEvent`. |

Refuse to save a script we only partly read
The transport fix stops the truncation that caused #76, but the save path had no answer for a baseline that arrives incomplete. It is neither unknown nor empty, so every existing guard passes it through: it parses into a shorter rule list that looks exactly like a script with fewer rules, and saving writes that back over the real one. Check the script against the shape the generator emits instead. Every rule comment parses, every enabled rule has an if and a closed body under it, every block ends with a blank line. Structural rather than a re-serialize-and-compare, so a script written by an older version whose serializer differed is still editable. The rule editor reports a short script as unreadable rather than showing the rules that happened to parse, since a list that looks complete over a script that is not is the most dangerous thing it could offer. A cut at the end of a complete rule block is still a valid shorter script and cannot be told apart from one; that residual is the proxy's to cover. |

Say a missing folder is missing, not empty
A folder id the account does not have rendered the ordinary empty state -- "Nothing here. This folder is empty." That is a claim about a folder that is not there, so a stale link read as a folder that had emptied itself rather than one that was gone (#111). It now goes to the inbox and says why. Inbox is the kinder landing than a dead end for a bookmark that has outlived its folder, but swapping one folder for another without a word would be its own small lie, so it does not do that either. The condition worth writing a test around is not the unknown id, it is the one guarding it. The folder list arrives after the first paint, so for a moment *every* id is unknown, the right one included. Without that gate this redirects on every cold load, from the folder the reader actually asked for, and looks exactly like a flaky link -- a worse bug than the one being fixed and a harder one to see. `isUnknownMailbox` is a small pure function so that case can be pinned down rather than reasoned about. Only ever reachable from outside the app, which is why it went unnoticed: the sidebar links to ids that exist. A bookmark to a deleted folder, or a folder link passed between accounts, is where it bites. Verified against the mock: an unknown id lands on the inbox with the message and a full list rather than an empty one, and a cold load straight into a real folder stays in that folder with nothing said. Closes #111. |

Stop rebuilding the message body when it is marked read
Marking a thread read redrew the message pane: the mail vanished and came back, white to dark to white on an HTML message that brings its own colours, half a second after the reader started reading it. Worst with auto-mark set to "immediately", where it happens the moment the thread opens (#100). The pane was not re-mounting. The *body* was being thrown away and built again, and the reason is one dependency. `HtmlBody` writes the message into a shadow root in an effect, and that effect had the click handler in its dependency list. The handler is a `useCallback` over `onShowImages`, which the parent passed as an arrow created inline, so it was a new function on every render -- and therefore the effect ran on every render, and every render replaced the rendered message with an identical one. Marking as read is exactly such a render: the store hands back a new email object and the thread re-renders. The listener now lives in its own effect. It is attached to the shadow root rather than to the contents, which survives the rewriting anyway, so a handler that changes identity costs a listener swap and nothing else. `onShowImages` is stable now too, but the split is the fix: it is what makes the body immune to the next handler that changes. This also stops the quoted-text toggle collapsing. `setQuoteOpen(false)` lives in the same effect and had been resetting on every render, so expanding a quote and waiting for the timer put it away again. Measured rather than watched, since a flicker is exactly the thing an eye will agree with you about. Holding a node from inside the shadow root across the transition, on the same three-message thread with the delay at 0: before, 21 childList mutations on the root and the held node detached and replaced; after, no mutations at all and the same node still attached. Clicking a blocked image still reveals remote images, which is what the moved listener is for. Closes #100. |

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. |

Hold the opening scroll while the conversation settles
Opening an already-read conversation stopped 39px short of the bottom, every time (#89). The messages were all there and one scroll fixed it, but the pane was not where it meant to be. The scroll runs in an effect, which is too early. Message bodies go into shadow roots from the child effects underneath it, and the images in those load later still, so the pane goes on growing after the scroll has already happened -- and `scrollIntoView` clamps to the scroll range as it stands the moment it is called. The read-thread fallback aims at the last message, which no thread has the room to lift to the top, so that clamp *is* the whole of the range. Measuring it before the images landed measured it short. So the target is now held against the top of the pane while the thread settles: a ResizeObserver over the children of the scroller re-aligns it whenever one of them changes height. The hold ends the instant the reader touches the pane -- wheel, pointer, touch or any key -- and after two seconds regardless. A pane that re-scrolls under someone who has started reading is far worse than one that lands short, so it lets go on the first sign of them rather than waiting for the content to stop changing. Verified against the mock, on the same already-read seven-message thread, eight opens each way: before, all eight landed at scrollTop 96 of a 135 range; after, all eight land at 135. The #87 cases are unchanged -- an unread message mid-thread still comes to rest flush against the top of the pane, and a thread whose first message is the unread one still stays at 0 with the subject in view. Scrolling or pressing a key during the hold leaves the pane exactly where it was put. One correction to #89 while I am here: it reported the pane sometimes not moving at all. That was an artifact of measuring in a background tab, where Chrome suspends rendering and clamps timers -- the behaviour in a visible tab is the deterministic 39px above. The issue is real; that one observation in it was not. |

Open a conversation on its first unread message
Selecting a thread put you at the newest message. Anything unread above that sat off the top of the pane with nothing to announce it, and the only way to find out was to scroll up -- by which time the auto-mark-read timer had marked the whole thread read anyway, so scrolling up meant scrolling up to mail already counted as seen (#87). Opening at the bottom is right when there is nothing to catch up on and wrong the moment there is. The pane now opens on the oldest message that was unread when the thread was opened, and falls back to the newest when the thread has already been read. mbunkus's out-of-order case is the one that rules out guessing at a position. A participant whose server could not connect for hours delivers a message long after it was written, and it lands in the middle of a conversation that has already moved past it -- so "second to last", or any other fixed offset from the end, finds nothing. Reading the unread set is the only thing that does. Two cases leave the pane where it is: - a single message, which is already the whole pane - the first unread being the first message, where the top of the pane shows it anyway, together with the subject; scrolling to it would push the subject off for nothing It reads the set captured when the thread was opened rather than live `$seen` state, for the same reason expansion does (#69): the mark-read timer must not change the shape of what you are looking at. That also makes the landing stable, because everything above the first unread message is a collapsed row of fixed height -- nothing up there reflows after the scroll. The mock grows a thread that reproduces it: seven messages with the unread one second, four more behind it. Verified against it. Opening the thread lands the unread message flush against the top of the pane at scrollTop 158; the old scroll to the newest message put it at 445, with 287px of the message -- header, sender and unread bar included -- above the fold. On a thread whose first message is the unread one the pane stays at 0 with the subject in view, where before it would have scrolled 333. Once the thread is read, reopening it goes back to the newest message. |

Stop the reading view rearranging itself as you read
Opening a conversation with several unread messages showed them all expanded, each with its unread bar. The moment the auto-mark-read timer fired, every one of them collapsed except the last, and the bars vanished -- so the messages you had just been given were taken away again, and the only record of which ones they were went with them (#69). Both came from the same place: expansion and the bar were derived from `$seen`, live. Marking read on the server changed what the view thought it was looking at. Marking read is not the problem. Opening a thread is the signal that you are reading it, and mbunkus was explicit that turning the setting off is not the answer he wants. What was wrong was letting a change *this view caused* alter its own shape underneath the reader. The thread now remembers which messages were unread when it was opened, and uses that for expansion and for the bar. The set only grows while a thread is open -- a message arriving unread joins it -- and is discarded on the way to another thread. The server still gets marked read on the timer, exactly as before, and the message list still updates. It is accumulated during render rather than in an effect. It is derived purely from the messages already in hand and adding an id twice does nothing, while an effect would repaint a frame later -- which is the flicker this exists to remove. Verified against the mock with markReadDelay at 0, the harshest setting, where the timer fires immediately: six seconds after opening a three-message thread, the server reports all three seen while the view still shows all three expanded with their bars. Before, two of the three would have collapsed in the first instant. |

Move focus off a row that has been deleted
Two complaints in #71, one cause. Deleting from the keyboard left `focusId` pointing at a row that was no longer in the list, and nothing moved it. The confirmation appearing "every other message": `targetIds()` falls back to the focused id, so the second `#` re-targeted the message the first one had just deleted. The optimistic update had already moved that message into Deleted Items, so it read as a permanent delete -- and a permanent delete always confirms, whatever "Confirm before deleting" is set to. The dialog was correct about the message it was asked about; it was asked about the wrong one. `k` jumping to the top: `moveFocus` reads `ids.indexOf(focusId)`, which was -1 for the departed row, and -1 is treated as "before the first row". Adding -1 to that clamps to 0. Both explain why the mouse was fine: clicking sets focus to a row that exists. Focus now moves to whatever slid into the deleted row's place, honouring "After archiving or deleting" -- the row below by default, the one above when set to newer -- and clears when the folder empties. `moveFocus` also no longer reads a missing row as index 0; it falls back to where the list thinks it is. Verified in the browser against the mock, since arithmetic tests cannot prove the wiring: with confirmation off, two deletes in a row both go through silently, focus stepping e4 to e5 to e6 as rows close up; then `k` moves up exactly one instead of to the top of the list. |

Never overwrite filters we could not read
Adding a filter from a message reported success while the script on the server never held more than two rules (#76). Rules were being destroyed, and the confirmation was a lie. Three links, each defensible alone: 1. load() recorded a *failed* blob fetch as `contents[id] = ""`. 2. sieveToRules("") returns [] -- "this script has no rules", which is indistinguishable from "we could not read this script". 3. Saving rewrites the whole script from that baseline, so every rule already in it was deleted. The write itself succeeded, which is why the UI said so. No fetch failure was even required: rules() did `contents[id] ?? ""`, so a script whose content had not loaded yet read as empty too. And saveScript cached the content it had just written and then called load(), which replaced the whole map -- discarding it if the refetch came back short. The fix is to keep "unknown" and "empty" apart at every step: - a failed fetch leaves the key absent rather than storing "" - load() merges rather than replacing, so a reload cannot throw away what saveScript just wrote - rules() returns null for content it does not have, which every caller already treats as "do not touch this script" - saveRules refuses outright when the baseline is unknown. Refusing is recoverable; overwriting is not. rules() now also reports whether the script was read, because "written by hand" and "could not be read" want different advice -- one is permanent, the other is a reload away, and telling someone the wrong one sends them hunting for a problem they do not have. Ruled out on the way: the rule codec round-trips fine, eight rules in and eight out. sieveToRules reads the `# rule:` JSON comments rather than parsing Sieve, so the generated script's shape was never the issue. |

Delete all spam, and call folders what the server calls them
Junk Mail can now be emptied in one action, the way every other mail
client offers it: a banner across the top of the folder, and an item in
both the folder's right-click menu and the list's own menu.
The messages are destroyed rather than moved to Deleted Items. Routing
spam through the bin on its way out leaves you with the same problem in
a different folder, and "delete all spam" means gone everywhere else. So
the dialog says it before you commit, and there is no undo.
emptyMailbox already did the hard part -- walking a folder a page at a
time so it survives maxObjectsInSet, which a Deleted Items of 5192 once
did not. All that changed is which folders it will accept. The guard
stays in the store rather than living only in the menus, so a fourth
caller cannot empty the Inbox by asking nicely.
The three entry points share one helper, because three dialogs warning
about a permanent deletion in three slightly different ways is how one
of them ends up not warning at all. A folder with nothing in it offers
the item greyed out rather than hiding it, so it is where you expect it
to be next time.
Folder naming is fixed in the same commit because it changed the same
file, and because testing this is what surfaced it. Two problems, one
cause:
- The mock called its folders "Trash" and "Sent". Stalwart's defaults
follow the Exchange convention -- "Deleted Items", "Sent Items" --
so anything built from a folder's name read differently against the
mock than against a real server, and every screenshot in the README
showed a folder list no user has.
- Worse, and in shipping code: the undo toast took a hardcoded label
in preference to the folder's actual name, so deleting a message
announced "moved to Trash" on a server whose folder is called
"Deleted Items", and reporting spam said "moved to Spam" where it is
"Junk Mail". The one message whose job is saying where mail went was
naming somewhere that does not exist. It now prefers the mailbox's
own name and keeps the hardcoded word only as a fallback.
Verified against the mock: the banner appears only in Junk and only with
something to delete, the dialog counts and pluralises, the messages are
destroyed and Deleted Items stays empty afterwards, the banner
disappears once the folder is, the item greys out when empty, Archive is
offered neither, and Trash still says "Empty Deleted Items".

Close the colour menu on a pick, and make the push dot readable
Two cosmetics. Picking a folder colour left the menu open, which every other action in it does not. It closes now, the way the calendar's colour menu already did. The live-updates indicator was an 8px flat speck in --fg-faint, near invisible in either theme, and it had two states where the code has three. The push client only ever said connected or not, which cannot tell "retrying with a backoff" from "stopped": it now reports connecting, connected or disconnected, and the retry path says connecting rather than going dark. pushConnected stays for the callers that only want the boolean. The dot is 12px and raised -- a white highlight over a solid colour with a soft halo, so one bead reads on light and dark alike without a per-theme variant. Green connected, amber reconnecting with a slow pulse, red disconnected. The pulse respects prefers-reduced-motion, and the indicator is labelled for a screen reader rather than hidden from it, since it carries real information. |

Give a folder a colour from its right-click menu
Right-click a folder and pick one of the twelve colours the calendar already uses, or clear it again. The colour tints the folder's icon; the label keeps the sidebar's own contrast, which a dozen arbitrary colours would not reliably give it. Kept by mailbox id rather than by name, so a folder renamed or dragged somewhere else keeps its colour. Stored in settings, which live in this browser -- JMAP has nowhere on a Mailbox to put a colour, and every other colour in the app, labels and event categories included, already works this way. Worth knowing it does not follow you to another device. The cascade needed care: .nav-item svg sets the colour on the icon itself, so a colour inherited from a wrapper does nothing. Checking getComputedStyle on the wrapper said the icon was purple while the pixels stayed grey; the rule now targets the svg, and the check now reads the pixels. |

Move a folder by dragging it
Reparenting a folder meant the Folders settings page, or nothing at all. The tree already accepted messages dropped onto a folder, so folders now travel the same way: drag one onto another to nest it, or onto the Folders heading to bring it back to the top level. The heading says "Drop here for the top level" while a folder is in flight, because an unlabelled strip of heading is not a discoverable target. The row being dragged fades, the row under the pointer is outlined, and only rows that would accept the drop light up. Four drops are refused: a folder onto itself, into its own subtree, onto the parent it already has, and any folder the server gave a role, which is not draggable in the first place. The subtree case is the one that matters -- it would orphan the branch -- and it checks the whole subtree rather than the immediate children. Whether a drop is legal has to be known during dragover, when dataTransfer.getData is blocked, so the tree remembers what is being dragged rather than asking the drag. The move goes through updateMailbox, so the filter rules pointing at the folder follow it, and the target folder is expanded afterwards so the folder can be seen where it landed. |

Say it in the words Stalwart 0.16 answers to
Guests added to an event vanished on save and no invitation was ever sent. Not a guard in the editor, and nothing the server complained about: ihasmail addresses a participant the way RFC 8984 does, with sendTo and email, and Stalwart 0.16 keeps that address under calendarAddress. Handed the RFC's spelling it stores the event, drops the entire participant map, and reports success. Six shapes were tried against a live 0.16.19, down to sendTo and roles alone; all six were dropped, and patching a participant onto an existing event fails outright with "Patch operation failed". The same disagreement runs through two more properties. The organizer is organizerCalendarAddress, not replyTo. A recurrence is a single recurrenceRule, not a recurrenceRules array — and that one Stalwart refuses honestly, with invalidProperties, so no recurring event could be created at all and existing ones showed no repeat. So writes now use Stalwart's names and reads accept either, since a mailbox may hold events written by other clients. The mock now refuses what the real server refuses and drops what it drops: advertising the RFC spelling is exactly how this reached a live server unnoticed, the same way the capability-placement bug did. Verified against 0.16.19: participants, organizer and rule all survive a create, an update and a re-read, with the roles kept as sent. Fixes #26 Fixes #30 |

Keep an edited filter rule where it was
Renaming or editing a Sieve rule moved it to the bottom of the list, and in Sieve the order is the order the rules run in, so mail started being filed by a different rule than before. Putting it back took a click per place moved. Two things did it. saveAndApply always appended the rule it was given — right for a rule created from a message, wrong for one being edited. And the "Also apply to existing messages" tick defaulted to on wherever it was offered, so every edit in Settings went down that path, including a plain rename. The rule now keeps its seat: a shared upsertRule replaces by id in place and only appends what is genuinely new. The tick defaults to on only in "Filter messages like this…", where applying it is the point, and the toast no longer calls an edited rule "created". Fixes #24 |

Send the read receipt the sender asked for
JMAP has an extension for this -- RFC 9007's MDN/send -- and Stalwart does not implement it, so ihasmail assembles the RFC 8098 multipart/report itself and sends it the long way round: raw MIME uploaded as a blob, imported, submitted. That is also why the receipt lands in Sent, which is where it honestly belongs. The plumbing is the easy half. A receipt tells whoever asked that the address is live and when the message was read, to an address the sender chose, so the refusals are the feature: nothing marked Auto-Submitted (RFC 3834, or two servers answer each other forever), nothing carrying Precedence bulk/list/junk or a List-Id, nothing already acknowledged, nothing that never arrived. A receipt aimed anywhere other than the sender is offered, but says so first. There is no "always send" setting, only ask or never. Sending is recorded with RFC 3503's $mdnsent keyword on the original rather than remembered locally, so a second look -- or another client entirely -- knows not to ask again. Non-ASCII parts go base64 rather than 8bit, so nothing rests on 8BITMIME surviving every hop. Verified against the mock end to end: the blob uploads, the receipt imports and submits, and the original reads back marked. Not yet exercised against the live server. |

Hold a message in the server's queue until the time you asked for
Scheduled send, which the README listed as needing server support that Stalwart has had all along. The delay cannot be asked for directly -- RFC 8621 makes `sendAt` read-only and server-derived -- so it goes on the envelope as an RFC 4865 `HOLDUNTIL` parameter, and the server reports back the time it settled on. Stalwart advertises this in the *account* capability, not the session-level one (which is empty): `maxDelayedSend` of thirty days and `FUTURERELEASE` among its `submissionExtensions`. The composer offers scheduling only when both are there, and never offers a time the server would refuse. A held message goes to a Scheduled folder rather than Sent, because `onSuccessUpdateEmail` would otherwise file it as sent the moment the submission is created, and it has not been sent. Nothing moves it out when the hold expires, so the folder is reconciled on the way in: released messages to Sent, cancelled ones back to Drafts. Cancelling uses a separate `Email/set` rather than `onSuccessUpdateEmail`, whose key Stalwart reads as an Email id and not, as the RFC says, a submission id. The mock grows the whole lifecycle, and learns to resolve creation references while it is there -- it had been quietly declining to create any submission at all, since sending names its message as `#m`. Because Stalwart's own `futureRelease` setting defaults to off and then drops the hold in silence, `npm run dev:mock:no-future-release` reproduces that. Verified end to end against the mock; not yet against the live server. |

Empty a folder in batches the server will accept
Emptying Deleted Items back-referenced one Email/query straight into one Email/set, so every id in the folder arrived in a single call. Stalwart refuses the whole call over maxObjectsInSet with requestTooLarge, which left a folder of 5192 messages impossible to empty at all. Walk the folder a page at a time instead: the filter re-runs each pass, so the next page is whatever is still there. A pass that destroys nothing stops the loop and reports the server's error rather than spinning. The same defect sat in two neighbours. Delete-forever on a large selection sent every id in one Email/set, and mark-all-read fed up to 5000 ids into an Email/get that only echoed them back - past maxObjectsInGet, and for no gain, since the query already returned them. Both now page through the same ceiling, read from the session rather than hardcoded. The mock advertised maxObjectsInSet but never enforced it, so none of this could fail in a test. It now rejects oversized get and set calls the way Stalwart does. While here, restrict emptying to Deleted Items. It was offered on Junk too, where a permanent one-shot clear is harder to justify; Junk is now select-all plus Delete, which takes the batched path. |

Add contacts by right-clicking anyone named in a message
Right-clicking a sender, or any address in the message details, opens a menu offering to add that person to the address book - plus edit them when they are already known, write to them, or copy the address. "Add to contacts" opens the contact editor prefilled rather than saving silently, so the address book gets a real card that the user can complete, not a bare email address. contactFromAddress splits the display name into JSContact name components: "Ada Lovelace" into given and surname, "Lovelace, Ada" unpicked, a single word as the given name, and a name that is really just an address left off entirely. Addresses in the details block were joined into one string, so they are now rendered per address to be individually targetable. ContactEditor previously ignored a prefilled name on an unsaved card - it read name components only when the card had an id - so it now reads them either way. |

Let messages follow the app theme, at the user's choice
Messages render on a white card in every theme. That is deliberate for mail that styles itself, but #4 points out the case it gets wrong: a message with no styling of its own has nothing worth preserving, and flashing white at someone reading in the dark is a real cost. Appearance gains a switch under the theme cards, off by default so the current behaviour is unchanged. With it on, HTML mail that declares no colours follows the app theme; mail that sets a background or text colour still gets the light card it was designed for, because half-darkening someone else's design is worse than leaving it alone. Plain-text mail already followed the theme and is untouched by the switch. The themed palette is expressed in the app's own custom properties, which cross the shadow boundary, so switching theme repaints open messages without re-rendering them, and the accent-coloured link stays consistent. The host element takes color-scheme: inherit so form controls and scrollbars inside a message match too. htmlDeclaresColors covers bgcolor attributes, <font color>, and colour or background declarations in style attributes and <style> blocks, while ignoring near-misses like border-color and ?color= in a URL. Closes #4 |

Offer ihasmail as the browser's mailto: handler
Settings > General gains a "Default mail app" section that calls registerProtocolHandler so mail links anywhere in the browser open ihasmail. The browser owns the decision and there is no API to read it back, so the UI says what it can: it records that we asked, offers "Ask again", shows a Remove button where unregisterProtocolHandler exists, and points at the browser's own settings. Unsupported browsers (Safari) and insecure contexts get an explanation instead of a dead button. The manifest now declares protocol_handlers for mailto, which is the route by which an *installed* app can be offered by the operating system itself; the UI says so and links the two ideas rather than promising a system-wide default the page cannot grant. Mailto parsing is now one function (parseMailto in lib/address.ts) instead of three hand-rolled copies in AppShell and MessageView. It follows RFC 6068: recipients from the path, the to= header or both, case-insensitive headers, "+" as space, and tolerant of malformed escapes. That fixes Cc and Bcc being silently dropped, and draftFromMailto escapes the body so a mailto: URL from an untrusted page reaches the composer as text rather than markup. |

Configurable date and time formats, defaulting to the Stalwart locale
Every user-visible date now goes through web/src/lib/datetime.ts, driven by three settings (Settings > General > Locale): - Language & region: automatic, or any of the 618 locales CLDR has data for, each named in its own language and script (web/src/lib/locales.ts, generated by probing Intl over the subtag space). - Date format: automatic (locale order), 22.11.2025, 22/11/2025, 11/22/2025, or ISO 8601 2025-11-22. - Time format: automatic (locale), 24-hour, or 12-hour. Automatic takes the locale Stalwart has for the account, read best-effort at login via x:Account/get (urn:stalwart:jmap) and passed to the client in the session; servers without the capability, or that deny sysAccountGet to a regular user, fall back to the browser locale. POSIX forms are normalised (de_DE.UTF-8 -> de-DE) and script modifiers kept (sr_RS@latin -> sr-Latn-RS, uz_UZ@cyrillic -> uz-Cyrl-UZ), while dialect/variant/currency modifiers are dropped and a script the locale already implies is not appended. Numerals follow the locale (22.11.2025 renders as Arabic-Indic digits under ar-EG); ISO 8601 is the exception and pins date and clock to Latin digits so one line never mixes digit systems. Rewired: message list and headers, quoted reply headers, calendar (titles, weekday and hour gutters, mini calendar, agenda, popovers, invite cards, free/busy), contacts, files, sessions. No raw toLocale*String date calls are left in web/src. Native <input type="datetime-local"> pickers always follow the browser locale and cannot be restyled by a page, so the out-of-office fields echo the entered instant in the chosen format underneath. Also: month-grid day labels no longer wrap when they hold a date, and the mock server serves x:Account/get (MOCK_LOCALE, default en_US). Closes #1 |
