A group's members, and anyone a folder was shared with, could reach that
mail over IMAP but not here: Mail read only the reader's own account.
Calendar, Contacts and Files already list other people's shares; Mail
now does too (multi-account spec, MA-A).
Such an account is listed under "Mail to show" in the account menu,
after any locked account handed to the reader, and opens in place of
the reader's own mail through the same switch AL-7 uses. Only accounts
whose Mailbox/get answers with a mailbox are offered: the server
advertises every capability on any shared account, so a colleague who
shared one calendar would otherwise appear with mail.
While one is in view:
- a bar in the palette's accent (not the locked account's red) names
it, with "Back to my mail"; the tab title names it without a padlock;
- calendars, contacts and files stay the reader's own (viewAccountFor
follows only a delegation now);
- writing a message uses the viewed account's identities, so a reply in
support@ goes out as support@ and is saved in its Drafts and Sent.
Losing the account (removed from the group, share withdrawn) takes the
reader back to their own mail with the existing "You no longer have
access" notice.
New string: "Shared mailbox:" (1, English only in the other ten
catalogs). Checked in Chrome against a scratch server with a support@
group and two members. typecheck and vitest (174 files, 1533 tests)
pass.
When the server hands a locked account to the reader (urn:inbuxa:jmap
delegation), the account popover offers it. Only mail follows the switch;
the reader's own settings, push and notifications stay theirs. A red bar,
a red wordmark with a padlock and the tab title say which account is in
view. Read delegates can't change anything, organize delegates can't
delete, and writing needs send-as. A delegation taken away drops back to
the reader's own mail.
14 new strings in all nine catalogs, unreviewed (inbuxa AL-7, AL-8).
