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.

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. |

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. |

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. |
