Skip vCards on re-import that the address book already has
The contacts half of the rule that shipped for events, and only the half that can be decided. A vCard carries a UID its author meant, so a card whose UID this book already holds is that card, and re-importing an export left a second copy of every one of them. Reported on #174 by the reporter's colleague, and decided on #173: skip on a UID that is already here, import what arrives without one, since nothing can be matched on an identity that is not there. LDIF is deliberately untouched and now says so in the type. Mozilla's schema defines no UID and the dn is not an identity outside the directory it came from, so the import invents a UID that can never match one already present. Guessing instead from a name and an address is the open question on #223, and a guess that merges two people who share a name is worse than a duplicate somebody can see and delete. Both imports answer with the same shape, so a caller does not have to know which one it called. LDIF's skipped is always 0, which is the honest number rather than a missing field. The UIDs are asked of the server rather than read from the cards in the store. The store's copy is complete once the view has loaded, and importing does not wait for a view. Two callers, two messages. The contacts import reports both counts, as the calendar import does: "Imported 3 contacts" over a file of two hundred reads as a failure when the rest were already here. And a vCard attached to a message -- usually one you have been sent before -- now says it is already in your contacts rather than reporting that it added none. Refs #223; the LDIF half stays open. |

Export a calendar as an iCAL file
The mirror of the import from #173, and the last thing contacts had that calendars did not -- an address book could always be exported, a calendar never could. It is written here rather than asked for. The import hands parsing to the server because Stalwart has a CalendarEvent/parse and reimplementing an .ics reader in a browser would be foolish; there is no method the other way, in Stalwart or in the JMAP calendar drafts, so the file is built from the RFC 8984 objects the server already returns. Most of that is renaming: 8984 was written as a restatement of 5545, and the comments say which way it went wherever the two disagree. The masters, not the occurrences. The query runs without expandRecurrences, so a weekly meeting leaves as one VEVENT carrying its RRULE rather than as a year of identical ones -- an export that had flattened the rule would import somewhere else as a pile nobody can maintain. A changed occurrence goes out as its own VEVENT with the same UID and a RECURRENCE-ID, which is how iCalendar has always said it; a cancelled one becomes an EXDATE. Three decisions worth stating rather than leaving to be found: No VTIMEZONE components. A TZID names the IANA zone the server holds and nothing defines it beside it, because defining it means shipping a zone database to describe rules the reader's own system already knows. Every client that matters resolves IANA names. The alternative -- converting to UTC -- would be worse than a validator's complaint: a weekly 09:00 that becomes 08:00 for half the year is a wrong calendar. UNTIL follows DTSTART's kind, a date for an all-day series and a UTC instant otherwise. Sending a local time there is the usual way to make a series stop a day early in another timezone. Overrides are applied at the top level only. A recurrence override is a JSON patch, and one addressing locations/x/name is not something this flattens. Closes #216. |

Skip events on re-import that the calendar already has
Importing an export twice left second copies of everything. The import has kept the file's own UID since it was written -- inventing one only where an event arrives without -- so what was needed to recognise an event that is already here was there all along, and nothing looked at it. Asked for on #173 after the reporter's colleague hit the duplication in testing, and decided there: skip on a UID the calendar already holds, import what arrives without one. An event with no UID is not one anything can match to, and a softer match -- title and time, say -- guesses in both directions. The UIDs are read once per import rather than once per event. CalendarEvent/ query does take a uid filter, which is what findByUid uses, but a file of two thousand events would be two thousand queries. Read without expandRecurrences so a weekly series is one event with one UID rather than one per occurrence, and narrowed to the target calendar from calendarIds rather than through an inCalendar filter this client has not confirmed the server supports. Matching is per calendar. A UID is what makes an event the same event across calendars, so the same event being in two of them is not a duplicate and the second calendar still gets its copy. importIcs now answers with both counts. "Imported 40 events" over a file of 240 reads as a failure when 200 of them were simply already there, and a re-import of an unchanged file would otherwise report importing nothing at all rather than saying everything was already here. The three import toasts are translated in all nine catalogues while the messages were being written -- the plural for the existing one had never been added and was falling back to English. Closes #222. |

Set the Archive role from ihasmail, rather than describing it
#220 corrected the message and left it useless: it told you a folder needs the Archive role on the server, which was true, and gave you nothing to do about it here. Roles were shown in Folders settings and never settable. Mailbox/set takes `role`. Confirmed live against 0.16.20 on 2026-09-02, as an ordinary user through the proxy, with no admin API: setting role "archive" on a folder that had none returned updated and the folder began working as the Archive immediately. Stalwart parses the role names in SpecialUse::parse, "archive" among them, refuses a second holder of a role, and refuses to move the role of Inbox, Junk or Trash. So the toast now carries the fix. "No Archive folder is set yet." with a Create one that makes the folder and then completes the archiving that could not happen -- rather than leaving someone to select the same messages again. A folder already named Archive and carrying no role is adopted rather than duplicated. That is the state #217 was reported from, and a second Archive beside the first would be its own confusion. One named Archive that is really the Sent folder is left alone: taking its role to fix archiving would break sending. Folders settings gains a Role column. Archive, Drafts and Sent are offered, being the roles this client's behaviour depends on and the server will move; Inbox, Junk and Trash show theirs and cannot change it, because 0.16.20 refuses. A role another folder holds is left out of the list rather than offered and refused, so freeing it is a deliberate two steps. The folder is created with the server's own name, never the localised one, for the reason renaming already writes back the server's: a German session must not create "Archiv" that an English one cannot find. Closes #217 properly. |

Say the Archive folder needs the role, not the name
Archiving looks the folder up by its special-use role and by nothing else --
roleId("archive"), falling back to roleId("all") -- and then, finding
neither, told you to create a folder named "Archive". Naming a folder does
not give it a role, and ihasmail has no way to assign one: Folders settings
shows the role beside a folder and offers no way to set it. So the advice
sent someone round a loop that could not end. They make the folder, it still
does not work, and the message says the same thing again.
It now says what is actually required and where it lives: a folder needs the
Archive role on the server, and naming it "Archive" is not enough.
All nine catalogues carry the correction rather than falling back to English,
and they need the same native review the rest of them do.
The existing test asserted only that archiving complained. It now checks what
the complaint says, since the words were the whole bug.
Closes #217.

Set contact cards in batches the server will take
The same bug the calendar import had, in the three places contacts write more than one card at once. ContactCard/set is refused whole over maxObjectsInSet -- requestTooLarge, nothing created -- so a large enough vCard or LDIF file imported nothing, and "select all, delete" over a large address book deleted nothing and reported it in JMAP's words. Nobody has hit it. It was found by looking, after #215 fixed the calendar, and it is promised on #173. Both imports now go through one createCards, which splits by the ceiling the session advertises and falls back to 500. That is what the LDIF import's comment -- "from ContactCard/set down they are the same" -- was already claiming, and is now true of. destroyCards splits the same way, and takes off the list the ids the server said it destroyed rather than everything that was asked for. It removed all of them before, which was harmless while there was one call and wrong the moment a later batch can fail: deleted contacts must not stay on screen, and live ones must not disappear from it. One behaviour change beyond the batching. A vCard import the server accepted no card of returned 0, and the view reported importing no contacts -- which reads as an empty file rather than as a refusal. It now says why, which is what the LDIF import has always done. A file with genuinely nothing in it still says so, earlier and separately. |

Import an iCal file in batches the server will take
An 800 KB export imported nothing at all. Every event in the file went out in a single CalendarEvent/set, and Stalwart refuses a method call carrying more objects than maxObjectsInSet -- the whole call, with requestTooLarge, creating none of it -- so the import failed at exactly the size that makes importing worth doing. A two-event invitation was fine; a real calendar was not. The events now go out maxObjectsInSet at a time, which the client already reads off the session and defaults to 500 where a server does not say. That is the same ceiling and the same helper the mail store batches deletes and flag changes by; nothing new had to be learned about the limit, and there is no need to ask anyone to split an .ics by hand at an arbitrary line. Still batches rather than a call per event: createEvent invalidates on the way out and invalidating re-fetches every cached range, which is why the import writes its own set calls in the first place. One invalidate, after the last batch. A batch that fails after earlier ones have been filed now says how many got in -- "1000 of 1200 events were imported before this happened" -- and re-reads the calendar so they are visible. Reporting only that the import failed would send someone looking for events that are already there. The mock enforced this ceiling all along, on both /get and /set; nothing had exercised it with a file big enough to cross it. Reported on #173. |

Apply the upload limit only where something is uploaded
FEATURES has always said attach-from-Files works "however large", because a blob the account already holds is attached by reference and nothing is sent. The code checked every file against maxSizeUpload regardless, so the two disagreed and the code was the one that was wrong. maxSizeUpload is what the server will accept for a single upload (RFC 8620). It bears on a file that is about to be uploaded and on nothing else. Applying it to a by-reference attachment refused a 60 MB message the server was already storing, on the grounds that it could not have been uploaded -- which it was not being. Forwarding a large message as an attachment hit exactly that. A file from somebody else's account is fetched and re-uploaded into this one, because a message can only carry blobs from the account sending it. That upload is real and the limit is real for it, so it still applies there. |

Subscribe to a calendar published at a URL
A timetable, a rota, a public holiday list: the calendars people are given as a link, which ihasmail could not show at all. Nothing is stored. The document is fetched when the calendar is opened and parsed in the browser; the server keeps no copy, no cache and no schedule, which is what lets an immutable container serve this. There is no timer either -- there is nowhere to run one -- so the guarantee is that a subscription is as current as the last time somebody looked, which is also when it matters. That is said plainly rather than implied. The fetch has to happen on the server: a calendar URL belongs to whoever published it and almost none of them send CORS headers. That makes it the second place this app knocks on a door somebody else chose, so the guard the image proxy has always had was lifted out and both now call it. A second SSRF implementation is how one of them ends up missing a case; this way there is one, and the extraction is covered by the image proxy's own tests still passing unchanged. webcal: is understood, because that is how these are published, and it is read as https: rather than waved past the checks -- a webcal URL pointing at loopback is refused exactly like an http one. Recurrence is deliberately not expanded. RRULE is a small language with a lot of edge cases, and a subscription quietly showing the wrong dates would be worse than one showing the first occurrence and saying so. The parser is a subscription parser rather than an importer: a subscribed calendar is read-only and redrawn from scratch each refresh, so nothing has to round-trip or survive an edit, which is most of what makes a full iCalendar implementation large. What it does have to do is never mis-state a time -- a DATE is built in local time rather than at UTC midnight, which would land on the day before for anyone west of Greenwich -- and never hang on a document somebody else wrote. Events go through instancesIn like the birthdays, so no view has to know they are not real calendars, and the calendar they hang off reports no write rights, so everything that asks before offering an edit declines on its own. A subscription that cannot be read says so in the sidebar rather than drawing an empty calendar, which looks like a calendar with nothing in it. |

Six palettes, each with a light half and a dark one
The theme was one enum -- system, light, dark, ihasmail -- where one value carried a whole palette and implied dark. That works for exactly one palette. The two questions now come apart: which palette, and which side. Classic is the plain light and dark this app has always had. ihasmail's own palette gains a day version, so the background of the dark one becomes the text of the light one and the two read as one palette from either end. Dracula, Gruvbox, Rosé Pine and Tokyo Night are the work of their own projects, used under the MIT licence, and taken from each project's own repository rather than from anyone's reimplementation. What was fetched is recorded in .palette-sources/ and credited in NOTICE. Giving ihasmail's palette a light half removed a whole special case. Nothing is one-sided any more, so a palette can no longer override the mode, the toggle no longer has to set a palette aside on the way to light and remember it, and the greyed-out control that explained all that is gone. The old lastDarkTheme, which existed only for that, is gone with it. The shades between the published colours are derived rather than guessed: these projects publish twelve to twenty values and ihasmail needs about thirty. scripts/build-palettes.py computes the tiers and then measures every text colour against the surface it sits on -- 4.5:1 for prose, 3:1 for borders and marks -- lifting anything short towards white on a dark ground and towards black on a light one, so a lifted tier keeps its hue. It refuses to write a palette that would not pass. Every one of the nine halves needed at least one lift. These palettes are built for code editors, not for prose at this size: Dracula's comment grey is 3.03:1 on its own background and Rosé Pine's gold is 2.7:1 on Dawn. Shipping them as published would have quietly ended the WCAG AA claim. Two things caught while checking rather than while writing. The generated blocks were appended to the end of the stylesheet, which put them after the accent variants at equal specificity -- so choosing an accent over one of the new palettes did nothing at all. They now sit before those rules, where the existing ihasmail block's own comment says they have to. And that block was unqualified, so it would have shadowed the new light half; it is now explicitly the dark one. Settings written before this carry `theme` and no palette, and are read through the old enum. `theme` is still written back, derived, because a device on an older build reads it and would otherwise be stranded on a theme nobody chose. |

Let the message list be sorted by something other than the date
Newest-first was the only order, so the mail you had not read yet was wherever it happened to fall. Seven presets and up to three levels of your own. It covers the Inbox alone by default: unread-first is what people want in the folder they triage and confusing in Sent, where everything is read and the order that matters is when it went. Search keeps newest-first whatever the setting says, since a result list is already ordered by the question that was asked. The server does the sorting, over the whole folder, for the same reason search runs there: a list sorted in the browser is sorted only as far as the browser has loaded, which on a folder of ten thousand is the first fifty and a lie about the rest. Two details that are easy to get wrong and were worth pinning in tests. hasKeyword sorts a boolean and false comes before true, so "unread first" is $seen ASCENDING while "starred first" is $flagged DESCENDING -- the other way round. Getting either backwards puts exactly the mail you were looking for at the bottom. And every order ends with newest-first as a tiebreak, because a sort whose last level is a keyword or a subject leaves every tie undefined, and an undefined order changes between two looks at the same folder for no reason the reader can see. Sorting on a keyword is optional in RFC 8621, and a server that will not do it fails the whole query rather than degrading it -- so this setting could turn a folder into one that does not open. The refusal is caught once, the keyword levels dropped and the query retried, and nothing is said: the reader asked for an order and got the closest the server can give, and a toast on every folder change would be the app complaining about its own request. The mock now honours the sort instead of always answering newest-first, which had it reproducing a server that silently returns a different order from the one asked for -- the one shape of wrongness a client cannot detect. MOCK_NO_KEYWORD_SORT=1 reproduces a server that refuses the keyword sorts, so the fallback can be developed against. |

Show birthdays from the address book as a calendar
The dates were already on the contact cards and nothing ever showed them, so the one thing a birthday is for -- noticing it in time -- was the one thing the app could not do with it. Derived, not stored. The dates stay on the cards: a second copy of the same fact drifts the first time somebody corrects one, and keeping a calendar of its own is exactly what ihasmail does not do. Entries are generated when a view asks for a range and vanish when the contact does. They go through instancesIn like everything else, so no view has to know they are different. Off until switched on. It is derived data, and a calendar that fills itself with dates nobody put there is a surprise rather than a feature. It can also be hidden from the calendar's own sidebar without being turned off, which is the same distinction the shared calendars already draw. They cannot be edited or deleted, and that falls out of the design rather than being special-cased: the virtual calendar reports no write rights, so every control that already asks before offering Edit or Delete declines on its own. updateEvent and destroyEvent refuse a synthesised id as well, so the store is safe whatever calls it -- including anything added later. Two things about the dates themselves. A card that records only a day and month is the common case rather than the exceptional one, and gets a birthday with no age rather than no birthday. And 29 February falls on the 28th in a year that has no 29th: somebody born in February has a birthday in February, and moving it into March is the arithmetic winning over the fact. Both are conventions; these are the ones that keep the fact intact. The mock now carries birthdays on most of its contacts, including one with no year and one on 29 February, so both cases are visible without a real address book. |

Nest labels, and let each one say how prominent it is
A flat list is fine at five labels and unreadable at thirty, and there was no way to keep one that matters occasionally without it holding a row for ever. A label can now sit under another, and each says whether it belongs in the sidebar always, only while it has unread mail, or never. Nesting is display only. The keywords stay flat on the message, which is what keeps them readable by every other client: moving a label under another rewrites nothing in the mailbox, and a client that knows nothing about ihasmail sees exactly what it always did. Both new fields are optional, so a settings file written before this parses unchanged and means what it did. Settings sync between devices, so the tree has to survive shapes that should not exist. A label whose parent was deleted on another device comes back to the top level rather than vanishing -- a label that disappears because something else was deleted is one the reader cannot get back. A cycle arriving from an older device is broken by treating the label that closes the loop as a root, so nothing is lost and nothing hangs. The parent picker will not offer a label's own descendants, so one cannot be built here in the first place. A label kept by the unread rule keeps its ancestors, whatever they were set to. A child cannot be drawn under a parent that is not there, and promoting it to the top level would silently rearrange the tree at the moment the reader is least able to explain why. The parent comes back as a container instead, and its own count still says whether it has anything of its own. Unread counts come from one request carrying a query per label rather than a request each, with limit 0 so the server does not send ids that would only be thrown away. They refresh on the same beat as the folder counts, since the things that move them are the same things, and a failure is swallowed: a count is decoration, and the sidebar draws the label without one. Also corrects the Labels page, which said names and colours are kept in this browser. They live in the account's own Files and follow it between devices, like every other setting that is not about this screen. |

Select a whole folder, not just the rows that are loaded
The header checkbox selected the loaded page. On a folder of ten thousand that is fifty of them, and the only way to act on the rest was to scroll until they loaded and tick again. A line now offers the rest by name once the page is selected, and taking it is a separate press. A checkbox that silently meant ten thousand when the screen shows fifty would be the worst of both, so each option says what it actually covers. The wider selection is a query rather than a list of ids. What it reaches is resolved from the server when an action runs, walked a page at a time, because a folder holds far more than one call returns and Email/set refuses more ids than maxObjectsInSet in one go -- which setEmails already chunks for. It resolves uncollapsed, unlike the list: "everything in this folder" means every message rather than one per thread, and expanding threads the way a click does is impossible here anyway, since that walks loaded Email objects and these are the ones that were never loaded. Two things this exposed. Undo is now withheld once a move reaches messages that were never loaded. It restores the folders each message was in, taken from what the browser holds, and for an unloaded message that is nothing -- so the undo would have written an empty mailboxIds and left the message in no folder at all, which is worse than the move it was undoing. move() and archiveByDate() both did this; both now drop the offer rather than restore something wrong. And an action consumes the wider selection. The optimistic paths cleared the selected ids but not the flag, so the next action would have silently reached the whole folder again. |

Warn about outside senders, large sends and links that mislead
Four warnings, in Privacy & safety, and all of them start switched off. That is not timidity. A client that begins by interrupting is one people learn to click through, and a warning clicked through without reading costs the same attention and buys nothing. The outside-sender warning could not be on by default in any case: it measures against the domains that count as yours, and with nothing configured every message in the mailbox is from outside. Your own identity domains are always internal and are not configuration. An account signed in as [email protected] warning that example.com is external would be absurd, and making it be typed in first is a foot-gun that leaves the feature useless the moment it is enabled. Configured domains are additional, and cover their subdomains -- matched on a dot boundary, so example.com covers mail.example.com and not notexample.com, which is exactly the domain somebody registers on purpose. The four: A banner names the sender's domain on a message from outside. Sending outside names the outside recipients and asks, rather than refusing. "This is going outside" is a rule and not something the sender can check; a list of addresses is. It reads the full identity list rather than the visible one, since hiding an identity from the From menu does not make its domain somebody else's. Sending to a large group asks once the count crosses a threshold, which is what catches a reply-all onto a long thread. It counts people rather than headers, so one address in To and nine in Cc is a message to ten. Opening a link asks when the destination is not trusted, and always when the link's text names one domain while its destination is another -- even where that destination is trusted, because being trusted is not the same as being the place the text claimed. On that mismatch the offer to trust the domain is withheld: what would be trusted is the destination, and the destination is not the thing in question. Anything that is not http or https is left alone, since warning about a mailto: is noise and noise is how a warning stops being read. Both bodies are covered, because a link in a plain-text mail is linkified by us and points wherever it likes just as readily as one the sender marked up. The click is cancelled and the navigation re-issued after the answer, since there is no way to hold a real navigation open across a dialog. The reopen runs in the continuation of the dialog's own click, which is still the gesture a popup blocker wants to see. |

Serve ihasmail from a subpath
`BASE_PATH=/mail` mounts the whole app under a prefix, for a host that is not
ihasmail's alone. Unset -- every deployment that exists -- is the domain root
and is byte-for-byte what it was: the canonical form of the setting is the
empty string, and `""` concatenated onto `/api/health` is `/api/health`.
That choice of canonical form is the whole design. A trailing slash would have
been the obvious alternative, and it fails quietly in exactly one place: at the
root it makes `//api/health`, which is not a path on this host but a
protocol-relative URL to a host called `api`. One call site forgetting to
branch is a request leaving the origin. So the empty string, one leading slash,
no trailing one, worked out once in `scripts/basePath.mjs` -- plain JS, next to
`version.mjs`, because the web build and the server both have to reach the same
answer and two implementations of "what does /mail/ mean" is precisely the bug
where the server serves an app whose script tags point somewhere else.
`/mail`, `mail`, `/mail/` and `//mail//` all mean the same mount; a deployment
should not fail over a trailing slash.
Unlike everything else ihasmail is told, this one cannot wait for the process
to start. The bundle writes its own asset URLs into index.html, so `BASE_PATH`
is read at build time for Vite's `base` as well as at run time for the routes,
and the Dockerfile carries one value into both. Get them out of step and the
page comes up blank with a 404 in a console nobody has open -- so the static
handler, which is reading index.html anyway, checks what it asks for and says
so in the log once per build.
Everything moves together. The API mounts at `${base}/api`; the router is
given the base once, so every `<Route path>` and `<Link href>` stays written
root-absolute and wouter does the rest; `apiFetch` adds the prefix in one place
rather than at forty call sites; the session cookie's Path narrows to the mount
so two instances on one host cannot sign each other out.
Two things need no prefix at all, and it is worth saying why they were not
given one. A manifest's members resolve against the manifest's own address, so
relative URLs there follow the mount with nothing substituted at build time --
which is also why `public/` needed no template step. The service worker is the
same trick: it is served from the mount, so `new URL("./", self.location)`
tells it where that is, and a worker that derives the value cannot disagree
with the page that registered it.
Anything outside the mount is a 404 rather than the app shell, and
`stripBasePath` does not use `startsWith` -- under `/mail` this process shares
a hostname, and answering `/mailbox` with our index would shadow a neighbour
instead of letting it 404 honestly. For the same reason the notification-click
handler now checks the path as well as the origin: `includeUncontrolled` widens
`matchAll` to the whole origin, which off the root would have navigated a
stranger's tab to our inbox.
Inline images in a draft were the one silent trap. They are matched by their
blob URL on the way out, once unanchored and once anchored, and a bare
`/api/blob/` still appears inside `/mail/api/blob/...` -- so one pattern would
have replaced the tail and left `/mail` in front of a `cid:`, and the other
would have missed and sent the message linking to the sender's own webmail.
Both patterns are built from the base now.

Archive into a dated folder
Archiving put everything in one folder, so an Archive that has been collecting for years is a single flat list with no way to narrow it except search. Archive by year and Archive by month file into Archive/2026 and Archive/2026/09, creating the folders as needed and reusing them after that, including folders made by hand or by another client. The names are numeric and zero-padded rather than month names, because these are real server-side mailboxes rather than anything of ihasmail's. Every other client sees them: a folder created as "September" by someone reading in English stays "September" for the same account read in Japanese, since the name is stored and not translated. And 09 sorts between 08 and 10 where a name does not. The date is read in the reader's own timezone rather than UTC so it agrees with the date shown against the message in the list. A message that arrived at 00:30 UTC on 1 September is dated 31 August in New York, and filing it under 09 while the list says August would be the app disagreeing with itself. A message whose date cannot be read goes to Archive itself rather than to a folder named after a guess. A selection spanning two months is two destinations, not one. The moves are made silently and one toast names where everything went -- the folder where there is a single answer, the count where there is not -- because each group raising its own toast with its own Undo would mean undoing a third of a move. One Undo restores the whole selection to wherever each message came from, captured before anything moved. The menu labels name the destination where there is one, so it reads "Archive to 2026/09" rather than describing the rule, and falls back to "Archive by month" for a selection with no single answer. |

Forward a message as an attachment
Forwarding quoted the original into a new message, which is the right thing for passing on something to be read and the wrong thing for passing on something to be looked at. Quoting rewrites the body, drops the headers, and re-parents the attachments, so a bounce, a phishing report or anything else where the message itself is the evidence arrived altered. Forward as attachment sends the message whole, as a message/rfc822 part. It costs no upload at all: a message's own blobId is its RFC822 blob and already lives in the account, so this goes through the same by-reference path as attach-from-Files and a 40 MB message attaches as fast as a small one. It is in the message's own menu, the list's right-click menu, and the overflow on the reply strip at the foot of a thread, which is the one a thumb finds on a phone. Two things fixed on the way, both exposed rather than introduced by this. The filename rule was subject.replace(/[^\w.-]+/g, "_"), and \w without the u flag is ASCII: every character of a Russian, Japanese or Chinese subject failed the class, so those messages downloaded as a row of underscores. What is actually unsafe in a filename is much shorter than "not ASCII" -- path separators, the names Windows reserves, the control range -- so the rule now keeps letters from any script and drops only those. It lives in one place and the .eml download uses it too. And the composer's attachment chip set overflow/text-overflow on a span, where neither does anything, so the name never truncated and the size ran on after it on the same line. Only long names showed it, which is every .eml named from a subject. |

Show what the spam filter said, in the message details
The filter in front of the mailbox scores every delivered message and writes its working into headers, and none of it was being read. A message in Junk gave no reason for being there. Nothing here scores anything. The headers are parsed and shown, so this cannot disagree with the filter that actually made the decision. Two formats cover what sits in front of a Stalwart mailbox in practice: the SpamAssassin-shaped X-Spam-* set, which Stalwart's own filter writes, and Rspamd's X-Spamd-Result. A header in neither shape is left unread rather than guessed at, since a misparsed score shown confidently is worse than no panel at all. Mail that arrived without any of them shows nothing. Rules are listed largest mover first and signed, because which way a rule pushed is the point, and the biggest contributor is the answer to why the message scored what it did. Two things it deliberately will not do. A score is always given the threshold it was measured against, because 6.7 is damning against 5 and unremarkable against 15 -- the number alone is not something a reader can act on; where no threshold was stated, it says so rather than implying one. And where the filter recorded no verdict, none is derived from score against threshold: the filter applies policy we cannot see, and putting a verdict in its mouth would be inventing one. The mock writes the same headers at delivery -- spam in Junk, clean in the Inbox, nothing on mail this account wrote -- so the panel can be developed and demoed against it. |

Fill placeholders when a template is inserted
Templates were a fixed subject and body, so anything that changed per message -- who it is going to, today's date -- had to be typed over afterwards. Eight names are recognised: recipientName, recipientFirstName, recipientEmail, myName, myEmail, subject, date and time. Dates and times go through datetime.ts rather than toLocaleDateString, so a template follows the date order and clock the app was already told to use. Filling happens on insert rather than on send. What a placeholder came to is then visible in the composer and can be edited, instead of the message changing between writing it and sending it. Two things are deliberately left alone. A placeholder that cannot be answered yet -- a recipient's name on a draft nobody has addressed -- stays in the body as written, because substituting an empty string produces "Hi ,", which is wrong rather than visibly unfinished; leaving the name says which word is still missing and can be typed over. And a name that is not a placeholder is left as written too, since a body that quietly ate an unrecognised token would be worse than one that shows it. Values are escaped on the way into HTML: a display name comes from a contact card or a typed address and is not trusted markup. |

Select more than one file at a time
Moving or deleting five files meant doing it five times, each with its own confirm. Rows now select the way they do in a file manager: a plain click replaces the selection, ctrl or cmd adds and removes one, shift takes the run from the last row clicked, clicking past the last row or pressing Escape clears it. Two or more selected raises a bar with Move to... and Delete, and the row menu offers the same for the whole selection. The move is one `FileNode/set` rather than a loop, and not only for the round trip: a loop would apply half the moves and then throw, leaving a selection split across two folders with nothing saying which half went. One call is one answer, and `notUpdated` names whatever the server refused. Right-clicking inside the selection acts on all of it; right-clicking outside means you meant that row, so the selection follows the pointer rather than the menu quietly applying to something off-screen. A drag carries the whole selection the same way, which is why the payload is now a list -- and why a drop is refused unless every file in it can land, since a drag that moves four of five and skips the fifth is worse than one that will not start. A selection belongs to the folder it was made in, so changing folder or account drops it: rows left selected off-screen make the delete two folders later a surprise. |

Edit a text file where you are already reading it
v2 of the viewer: Edit, on text and Markdown, in the dialog and on the row menu. Save is explicit -- every save mints a new blob, so autosave would burn quota and multiply the conflicts it cannot see. Two people editing one file is the case worth getting right. `saveText` re-reads the node and compares the blob the editor started from: if somebody else saved in the meantime it refuses, says so, and leaves the work in the box to copy out. `ifInState` is the obvious tool and the wrong one -- it is the state of every FileNode in the account, so an unrelated upload in another folder would fail the save, and a warning that cries wolf is a warning people click through. Editing is not offered where saving would lose something: a file truncated for display would have its tail written away, and one that did not decode as UTF-8 would have mojibake written over whatever encoding it really is. Both open read-only and say which. Nor is it offered without mayModifyContent -- a read-only share just has no Edit. Closing or cancelling with unsaved changes asks first, Ctrl+S saves, and mail attachments are unaffected: they pass no onSave, because a message part is not a thing that can be written back. |

Import an address book in LDIF
Somebody arriving from SOGo, Thunderbird or an LDAP directory has their contacts in LDIF, and until now the only way in was vCard. Nothing on the server reads LDIF, so this reads it here, in two pieces that are two different problems. `ldif.ts` is RFC 2849 and nothing else: folded lines, base64 values, case-insensitive attribute names, options, comments, `version:` headers, change records. It knows no attribute by name. `mozillaAb.ts` knows the attributes and no syntax -- Mozilla's address book schema, which is what Thunderbird and SOGo write and what the issue asks for by name. LDIF says nothing about what any attribute means, so a file is only readable against a schema, and keeping the two apart is what would let a second schema be added without touching the reader. Work and home addresses, which the schema keeps in two separate sets of attributes, come across as two addresses. So do every phone kind, the second email, the organisation and its units, job title, nickname, web pages and the AIM handle. The four custom fields have no equivalent in JSContact and are appended to the note, labelled as Thunderbird labels them: keeping something somebody chose to write down is worth more than the tidiness of dropping it. An entry with neither a name nor an address is skipped rather than imported as a blank row that is impossible to identify and tedious to find again to delete. The distinguished name is not used as the contact's uid: it says where an entry sat in somebody else's directory. One import control takes either format and decides by what is in the file rather than by what it is called, because an address book exported as LDIF arrives as .ldif, .ldi, .txt or with no extension at all. Closes #174 |

Send a message again as a new one
A mail the far end rejected, or one that went to an address with a typo in it, is a mail you want to send again -- not forward, and not reply to. Doing it by hand meant a new message and copying five fields across. "Compose as new" sits with Reply and Forward, in the message menu and in the list's right-click menu. It opens a composer holding the recipients the message had, its Reply-To, its subject with nothing prefixed to it, its body with nothing wrapped around it, and its attachments. What makes it a new mail is what it leaves behind. `draftId` stays null, or sending would destroy the message it was made from. `inReplyTo`, `references`, `relatedEmailId` and `relatedKeyword` stay null, so it hangs off no thread and sending it marks the original neither answered nor forwarded. The Message-ID is the server's and the date is stamped at build time, so both are new without anything asking for them -- the send path needed no changes at all. A message you sent is composed as the identity you sent it as. One somebody else sent has no identity of yours to match, and guessing from whom it was addressed to would put the resend behind an alias that was only ever the receiving end, so that case takes the account's default. No signature is added. The body is the one that was sent, which already ends in whatever signature went with it, and appending the identity's would give it two. Closes #176 |

Import an iCal file into a calendar
An .ics reaches you by ways that are not your mailbox -- a ticketing system a customer invited, a colleague's export, a booking confirmation forwarded on -- and until now the only events ihasmail could take were the ones attached to a message it had received. The calendar's own menu now offers "Import iCAL file…", which files everything in the file into that calendar. No global button: the issue is right that this is not a frequent enough thing to earn one. The parsing is the server's, through the same CalendarEvent/parse an emailed invitation already goes through. An .ics is not a format worth reimplementing in a browser, and Stalwart's reader handles what a hand-rolled one would not. Every event goes out in a single CalendarEvent/set. The round trips are the smaller half of the reason: createEvent invalidates on the way out and invalidating refetches every cached range, so a year of events imported one at a time would refetch the calendar a few hundred times. Nothing is mailed to anyone named in the file. Importing is filing something you already have, and scheduling messages would be a surprise to its participants. The mock's parser read the whole file with one regex and returned one event, which is all an invitation ever needed. It now reads per VEVENT, so a multi-event file can be tested against it, and it invents an organiser and an attendee only for events that carry a METHOD -- a plain export is not addressed to anyone. Closes #173 |

Invite the people the message was already between
Follow-up to #167: an event made from a mail now opens with the sender and everyone it was addressed to already in the guest list, so a thread becomes a meeting without retyping the room. Two things are deliberately left out. The reader's own addresses, since they are the organiser and an organiser among their own guests is an invitation to your own appointment. And a blind copy, on a message the reader sent: a guest list is visible to every guest, so promoting a Bcc to a guest would tell the room about a copy the sender chose to hide. That is not something a menu item may do quietly. *Send invitation emails to guests* now starts off when the guests were inherited rather than typed, and on everywhere else -- which is every event whose guests somebody chose one at a time. The reason is the case the issue opened with: a reminder made out of a bill carries the biller and everyone else on the mail. Left on, the primary button reads Send invites and the first press mails all of them an invitation to what was meant as a note to self. The switch sits right there under the list and says what it does, so inviting them is one deliberate click. Un-sending is not. |

Make an event out of a message
Asked for in #167: a right-click on a mail that turns it into a calendar entry, the way a bill or a task becomes a reminder. Nothing clever, and deliberately so -- the subject becomes the title, the body becomes the description, and the reader supplies the one thing the message cannot. A due date is exactly that thing. "Due on the 14th" in an invoice is not a date a parser could be trusted with, and a wrong guess quietly scheduled is worse than no guess at all, so the editor opens on the next half hour for an hour and the reader fixes it. Forward rather than now, because a start time that has already passed by the time they press Create is one more thing to correct. The body is capped at 5000 characters. A newsletter is a message too, and its whole body would be stored on the event, synced to every device, and shown in a three-row textarea; what is worth keeping -- the amount, the account, the address -- is near the top. The cut is marked, so a truncated bill is not read as the whole of it. One message only. The list menu acts on the selection everywhere else, but there is no sensible event to make out of five mails, and the mobile entry appears only when exactly one row is held. The editor lives inside CalendarView and the reader is in the mail view when they ask, so the draft waits in the calendar store until that view mounts and takes it -- once, or it would reopen on every later visit. It seeds a form rather than an event: the dialog still says New event and still has to be pressed. Called *Create event…* rather than "appointment", which is the word the issue used: it opens the New event dialog, and each catalogue already has its own settled noun for that -- Termin, événement, 日程. Reachable three ways, since a phone has no right-click: the row context menu, a message's ⋮, and the ⋮ of a held row on mobile. Hidden entirely where the account has no calendar. |

Keep a settings change made before the first read, and wait for it
Two defects on the path that decides what language the app starts in. **A change made before the settings file came back was thrown away.** `queueSettingsPush` returned early while unarmed, dropping the value instead of holding it, so a language picked in the second or so after a page load was never written up: it survived until the next reload and no further. That is a better account of "sometimes it takes several clicks" than the remount race fixed in #160 — the click that stuck was one made after the read had finished. Keeping it is safe because hydrate already refuses to overwrite a key that is still queued. Proof it was real: before this, no `ihasmail` folder was ever created in the account's files, because the seed write never fired. After it, the folder appears. **Without a cached settings object the tree painted too early.** The cache is not read on an untrusted device, and it is cleared by the sign-out that every deploy causes, so in both cases the first frame is the defaults — and the defaults are English. Anything computed in that window is computed in the wrong language. The interface recovers, since it is rebuilt when the catalogue lands, but a string emitted once does not: this is why the stale-folder toast came out in English on an otherwise German screen. So without a cache the authenticated tree now waits for the account's settings and their catalogue, which costs nothing — there was nothing worth painting yet. With a cache it does not wait, and the first frame is as quick as it was. Neither fix makes the toast German yet: the account settings file is neither written nor read successfully in the mock, and both failures are swallowed. That is a third problem, and this commit does not touch it. |

Merge main: the list subject stays notranslate and gains its translated fallback
Both sides of the conflict belong. The span holds a subject, which is the sender's words and not ours to machine-translate; the text shown when there is no subject is ours, and should follow the interface language. |

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.

Stop a language change undoing itself, and stop the translate prompt
Two reports, both about the language setting. **Picking a language sometimes took several clicks.** The subtree that reads the account's settings file is keyed on the language version, so choosing a language deliberately throws it away and builds it again. The remount re-read the settings file — which still held the old language, because the write is debounced by three seconds — and applied it, putting the old language back. The click that appeared to work was the one made after the previous write had landed, which is exactly the "sometimes" in the report. Worse than it looked: the queued push survived the remount, so the file was eventually written with the new language while the screen showed the old one. A reload then changed the language on its own. Fixed twice over, because either alone leaves a race. The file is read once per account per page load rather than once per mount, and hydrate now holds back any key with a change still queued — a change that has not been written up is newer than the file by definition. That rule is `mergeRemote`, pulled out as a pure function so it could be tested without a JMAP client. **Both browsers kept offering to translate an English page.** They were right to: `<html lang>` said English while the visible text was 6,289 message rows of marketing copy and brand names in whatever language the sender wrote in. The list is most of the text on the screen, so that is what the detector was reading. Sender, subject and preview in the list, and the thread subject and sender name in the reader, are now marked as what they are — content, not interface. Message bodies were already marked, so this is the same line drawn in the places the earlier pass missed rather than a new one. Whether it silences the prompt is Chrome's call and cannot be checked from inside the page; the marking is right either way. |

French, on the same terms as German
Second of Phase 1. Generated by AI, unreviewed, marked Beta, with the report link in Settings doing the job a native speaker would otherwise do. 781 of 796 strings; the fifteen left are product names, bare URLs and example addresses, which should stay English. Register is "vous", following the "Sie" decision and for the same reason: a mail client a workplace deployed has no business addressing anybody as "tu". One terminology decision goes the opposite way to German, deliberately. "Label" stays English in German because no German client translates it, and becomes "Libellé" in French because Gmail did and a French reader will meet it there. The rule being followed is "use what the reader will find elsewhere", not "always translate" or "never" -- which only looks inconsistent if the rule is mistaken for the outcome. French typography: the narrow no-break space before ? ! and : is the rule and is deliberately not used. It is invisible in a diff, trivially lost in an editor, and no French webmail actually ships it. Guillemets are used, because those are visible and do read as wrong when missing. Two things worth recording from doing this a second time. The folder-context separator arrived as a raw U+0004 byte rather than the \\u0004 escape the German file uses. It would have worked -- TypeScript accepts it -- and it is invisible in an editor and in a diff, which is exactly why the German catalogue writes it as an escape. Converted, so both files say the same thing in the same way. And the language tests named a real language as their example of one that is not shipped, so shipping German broke them, and shipping French broke them again. Both times the failure was the test being out of date rather than anything wrong. They derive an unshipped tag now, and assert over every shipped language rather than a hardcoded pair, so the third and fourth languages will not repeat it. |

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. |

Start extraction: an i18n core, and a way to see how far it has got
The groundwork in #145 gave the app a language to serve. This gives it something to serve, and a way to measure the distance to the languages actually planned. The English text is the key. `t("Archive")` looks "Archive" up and returns the English when it is not there, which buys three things worth more than tidy symbolic keys: no English catalogue to keep in step with the code, a missing translation that degrades to readable English rather than to `mail.list.archive`, and an extraction step that is wrapping a string rather than inventing a name for it. Names are where extraction stalls, and 55 components is a lot of small naming arguments. The cost is that editing English copy orphans its translations, which is the right way round: the copy is the product, and a stale German sentence should fall back to the new English. `plural()` takes forms rather than (one, other), because two forms is an English assumption that does not survive phase two of the plan. Russian and Ukrainian need three, and choosing between them is not a question about the number 1. Intl.PluralRules knows the rule for every language the browser knows, so the catalogue supplies the forms and the runtime picks; a category the catalogue does not carry falls back to `other` rather than rendering undefined. Interpolation is named rather than positional for the same reason -- German moves the parts of a sentence around and means the same thing. Catalogues are dynamically imported, so a reader who never leaves English never downloads one, and English needs no fetch at all. `applyLang` sets the lang attribute before kicking the load, deliberately: lang is what stops Chrome offering to translate and should not wait on a network request to say something it already knows. `t()` is a plain function, not a hook, so the tree is keyed on a language version at the root and thrown away when the catalogue changes. Making every call site a subscriber would turn extracting a string from "wrap it" into "wrap it and add a hook", for an event that happens about once per account. NotificationsSettings is extracted end to end as the reference -- it covers all four shapes, being JSX text, translated attributes, a toast, and a sentence with a value interpolated into it. scripts/i18n-coverage.mjs counts what is left, because ~1,000 strings across 56 files is too many to eyeball in review or carry in anyone's head. It reports 20 wrapped and 925 remaining, and it deliberately does not count punctuation and separators as untranslated -- a floor no amount of work could reach would make the number useless. A progress report rather than a gate: --check exits non-zero, for once the number is low enough for that to mean something. ROADMAP.md said translations were "English-only for now" on a page whose stated purpose is things the answer is "no" to. It now says what is actually happening, carries the phase order, and says why Arabic, Hebrew and Persian are on neither list: RTL is a layout and bidi problem rather than a longer catalogue, and shipping it as though it were the same kind of work is how an RTL build ends up unusable with nobody saying so. |

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. |

Calendar: never mutate an occurrence by an id we are holding
Verified against the live 0.16.20 instance, which found two things the
mock had guessed wrong about.
A synthetic id encodes a position in the expanded series, and writing a
`recurrenceOverrides` entry renumbers it. A five-week series came back as
`e i m q u` over 03-01..03-29; after one override was written to 03-08
the same five ids addressed 03-01, 03-15, 03-29, 03-08 and 03-22. Nothing
was rejected. A stale id is not invalid, it is wrong - a confident answer
about the wrong day - so a delete meant for one occurrence removes
another.
`recurrenceId` is the stable name for a slot in a series, because it is
the date. `updateEvent` and `destroyEvent` now look the current id up by
it immediately before acting, and refuse outright when the date has left
the series rather than falling back to the id in hand.
The mock had this exactly backwards: it kept ids stable on purpose, which
agreed with the belief that is wrong. It now renumbers too - a different
permutation to Stalwart's, with the property that matters - and a test
holds an id across a write and watches it change meaning.
Second finding: the inherited properties are dropped *after* the server
has decided to write an override, so a patch made only of them still
writes one, carrying the server-filled start and duration and nothing
else. `{"privacy":"private"}` on one occurrence answered "updated", left
privacy untouched, and left that date with no title at all. Sending
nothing when narrowing empties a patch was written as a principle - a
request whose response could only be a meaningless "updated" is worse
than no request - and it turns out to prevent real data loss.
Both recorded in KNOWN-ISSUES with the dates they were confirmed on.

Calendar: edit and delete a single occurrence
Closes #132. Stalwart 0.16.20 accepts a synthetic id on `CalendarEvent/set`, writing a `recurrenceOverrides` entry rather than touching the series, so editing one date of a recurring event is now something the server does and this does too. Editing asks the scope *before* the form opens, because it decides which event the form is even about: a form populated from the master shows the series' start date, so editing Wednesday's standup would have offered to move Monday's. Deleting asks in place of the old confirm. The patch is narrowed rather than posted hopefully. 0.16.20 sorts per-occurrence properties into three groups and only one is honest: ten are refused with `invalidProperties`, twelve more are dropped from the patch while the response still reports success, and the rest are applied. That silent middle group is how #26 reached a live server - a successful response is not evidence anything was written - so `occurrencePatch` throws on the first group, reports the second to the caller, and the editor leaves out the five it always sends. A patch that would be entirely dropped is not sent at all. The refusal for an occurrence of a this-and-future change offers the series instead of a bare error toast. Nothing here writes one of those, but an event synced from another client can carry one. Two things the scope prompt cost, both worth knowing. A dialog is queued in a store the moment it is asked for, so it outlives the effect that asked: without a ref guard a remount queues a second prompt the first answer cannot retract. And gating the *answer* on the effect's cleanup flag is worse - StrictMode runs mount, cleanup, mount, so the flag is already set by the time anyone clicks and the editor never opens. The mock expands recurrences for the first time, which is what makes any of this developable. It hands out synthetic ids for everything including one-offs, gives occurrences a `recurrenceId` and no rule, and reproduces the refusals - including the silent drops, since a mock that applied them would let a client that sends them look correct everywhere but a real server. |

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. |
