Address book sharing was withdrawn a few hours ago on a report that it behaved like mail folder sharing. That was wrong -- it works -- and it is back, built the way Files is rather than the way it was. Three things it inherits from Files. Shared books are listed in the app's own left pane instead of behind an account switch in the profile menu. The reader's books and other people's sit under separate headings, since a book belonging to somebody else behaves differently and a single merged list would be quiet about whose contacts you are reading. And opening Contacts re-reads the session, so a book shared while the tab was open turns up without signing out and in again. The books pane the view kept to itself is gone, and with it the last module that ignored the sidebar it was given. The one thing Files does not need: shared contacts have to answer when somebody types a name into a To field, so they are loaded up front rather than when a book is opened, and they are offered by `suggest` and found by `lookupByEmail` alongside the reader's own. Their own cards win a tie, since a card someone wrote themselves should beat a colleague's copy of the same person. That is the difference between a shared book you can look at and one you can use. Cards from a shared account are held apart from the reader's rather than merged in, and keyed by account as well as id. Ids are only unique within an account -- two accounts each having a book `ab1` is ordinary -- and a flat map would have had one silently replace the other. The mock grew an address book in its shared account, with contacts in it, because none of this could be exercised otherwise. KNOWN-ISSUES records the withdrawal as the mistake it was rather than leaving it in the history looking like a finding. Mail folder sharing stays withdrawn: that one really is broken.

Roadmap / not yet
Things ihasmail does not do, and why. Anything with an issue number is tracked in the issue tracker; the rest is here because the answer is "no", not "not yet".
See KNOWN-ISSUES.md for what is built but worth knowing about.
- Sharing a mail folder. Stalwart stores the share and never delivers it; see KNOWN-ISSUES.md. Withdrawn until the server does something with it. Sharing files, calendars and address books is unaffected and works.
- Snooze (nothing in JMAP or Stalwart supports it, and ihasmail never stores a password, so nothing could act on a mailbox while you are away)
- Translations (strings are English-only for now)
- Two-factor sign-in. Today an account with 2FA must use an app password (see Quick start), and Settings › Security offers no way to switch 2FA on — only off, for an account that already has it. Supporting a TOTP code directly means implementing OAuth: Stalwart offers the authorization-code and device flows and no password grant, so ihasmail would hand sign-in to Stalwart's own login and come back with a token. That is a better security posture than the sealed password it holds now — a refresh token rather than a credential — but it replaces ihasmail's own sign-in page for those users and may need an OAuth client registered.
