- Invitations: each user can invite two friends by email (sign-up works
through the link even while registration is closed); admin-editable
template, subject and sender.
- Invitation sender defaults to the system-mail From address, which the
SMTP account is allowed to send as (was postmaster@APP_DOMAIN, refused
with 553 when the two differ).
- Sign-in, sign-up and forgot-password fields show the fixed
@domain after the typed name; the registration status reports it.
- System mail gets a Date header; the invitation's plain-text part keeps
its paragraphs and line breaks.
- SMTP EHLO uses SMTP_HELO_NAME / APP_DOMAIN, not the container name.
- DNS recommendations for the mail domains.

Security (ultimo-security-report.md):
- Security headers on every response, the app shell included: they lived at
server level and nginx dropped them in any location with its own header.
CSP, framing, nosniff, referrer, permissions (docker/nginx-security.conf).
- Plain HTTP forwarded by the reverse proxy is redirected to HTTPS; HSTS on
HTTPS responses. server_tokens off.
- Cross-site state-changing /api requests refused (login CSRF), WebSocket too.
- Validation errors in the usual error shape, without the request model.
- New-password policy: max 128, common/own-address/repeated refused,
breached-password check (HIBP k-anonymity, fails open).
- Message HTML: links keep only http(s)/mailto (sanitizer v6); the HTML
endpoint carries its own no-script CSP.
- Outbound fetches pinned to the checked IP (DNS rebinding); external
IMAP/SMTP servers re-checked before each connection; CGNAT and mapped
addresses counted as non-public.
Fixes from testing:
- IDLE loop catches up before idling: mail that came while the worker was
away no longer waits up to 10 minutes.
- Restore from Spam/Trash/Archive moves only the removed messages, not your
reply in Sent.
- Narrow desktop list stacks sender/subject/snippet (subject was squeezed
to nothing at the default width), with hover actions.
- Phone: wide emails scale to fit the screen.
- Singular forms ("1 message"); no zip button for a single attachment;
app passwords no longer claim "never used" for mail apps.
- ruff format across the backend.

Hosted mailboxes (SPEC App. D), behind HOSTED_MAILBOXES (off: unchanged):
- Stalwart mail server, provisioned by `python -m app.hosted.provision`;
directory read from a Postgres view, app passwords only for mail apps
- native account per user, the worker signs in as master for the user
- raw messages of hosted mailboxes only cached, fetched back on demand
- migrations 0025 (accounts.kind, directory view), 0026 (IMAP ids bigint)
Mail:
- dark message mode switch in the reading pane (Thunderbird's algorithm)
- moves and folder creation quote the folder name ("Deleted Items"):
swipe-to-delete / Trash no longer bounce back
- thread unread counters: lock before recount, sorted lock order,
UIDVALIDITY re-import recounts, nightly repair_threads
- sidebar accounts sorted alphabetically, more space above headings
Settings: Security headings renamed; antispam accounts are explicit
(none ticked = none filtered), input widths, Activity hidden.
Plugin bundles served with Cache-Control: no-cache.

Attachments are no longer stored apart from their message (they were kept
twice: base64 inside the raw message and decoded on their own). The indexer
records the MIME part (attachments.part_index, migration 0023); downloads,
zip, inline images, thumbnails and forwarding take it out of the message;
videos stream from a short-lived copy (kept a day, 1 GiB per user). A
background pass on worker start removes the copies stored before, each only
after checking it can be taken out again (spec App. D §D.6 item 1, criterion
corrected to <= 60%).
A nightly job (03:47, after the Trash/Spam purge) removes files nothing
refers to any more — deleted or purged messages, previews of attachments
gone, uploads no draft has used for a week, expired streaming copies. Files
younger than an hour are left alone; a sent message waiting for its Sent copy
is held until its job is done. Account removal keeps files a draft still uses.

Sender avatars (privacy-safe, server-fetched, cached):
- New GET /api/avatar resolves Gravatar (d=404) then the sender domain's favicon
under the SSRF guard, Redis-cached (hit+miss); gated by SENDER_AVATARS_ENABLED.
GuardedResponse gains raw bytes. Shown in the mail list, reading pane, People
panel, and Contacts (overlay that falls back to initials on a miss).
PDF preview:
- Password-protected PDFs now prompt in-place and retry (pdf.js PasswordException),
with a clear error for other load failures instead of a blank overlay. The
password is remembered per attachment until the thread is left; clicking the
field no longer dismisses the overlay.
Contacts:
- Autosave reply recipients: message.sent now carries to/cc (name+email); the
contacts plugin subscribes and adds any non-contact recipients to the Autosaved
group. Contact avatars show the gravatar/favicon via /api/avatar.
Mail views / retention:
- Clicking an account shows all its mail except Trash/Spam (was inbox-only).
- Daily cron autopurge_trash_spam permanently deletes Trash/Spam older than
TRASH_RETENTION_DAYS (default 30; 0 disables) — server EXPUNGE + local rows.
UI polish:
- Ultimo signet logo in the Mail/Calendar/Contacts sidebar header and collapsed
rail; consistent 11px top margin and vertically-aligned header row across states
(fixed-size flex icon buttons); SVG favicon on the browser tab.

Gmail sync (SPEC: Gmail sync):
- Provider fetches X-GM-LABELS when X-GM-EXT-1 is advertised; parses custom labels
(system labels dropped, mUTF-7 decoded) onto RemoteMessage.
- Engine syncs only system folders + All Mail for Gmail, skips every label folder,
and dedupes the All Mail pass by Message-ID — kills the INBOX/All-Mail duplication.
- Custom labels ride the message.new event; the labels plugin subscribes and maps
them to chips as "<name> [Gmail]" (per-message + thread aggregate + known set),
so labels fill in gradually with the sync window. Non-ASCII labels decode right.
Labels self-healing (message-driven reconcile):
- Per-message keys are the source of truth; t: aggregates and _labels are derived.
Reconcile drops labels of deleted messages, regroups survivors by their current
thread (fixing JWZ thread merges), rewrites changed t: keys, and rebuilds _labels
from live messages — keeping user labels, dropping orphaned Gmail ones.
- New SDK reads: sdk.threads.existing / sdk.messages.threads_of. Sidebar refreshes
live via a plugin.labels.changed WS event on new labels.
Account deletion: prune threads left empty after the cascade (they were user-scoped,
so only messages cascaded) + de-list the account from surviving cross-account threads.
Sync SPAM: opt-in per-account sync_spam (migration 0015, default off) — the engine
skips the Junk folder in backfill and poll unless enabled; wizard checkbox added.
Robustness / UX:
- WebSocket auto-reconnects with backoff and resyncs on (re)connect, and account
add/delete invalidates threads/labels — no more hard refresh for live updates.
- Backfill banner + sidebar ring also require done < total, so a completed account
can't leave a stuck "X of X".
- Scrub lone UTF-16 surrogates from parsed headers/bodies so bad messages no longer
crash the backfill on Postgres text/JSONB.
- Ultimo signet logo in the Mail/Calendar/Contacts sidebar header (and at the top of
the collapsed rail), via the shared plugin-ui.css + MailLayout.

Implements SPEC v1.5 §6.2.1–6.2.3 so Gmail (and Yahoo/iCloud/Outlook-personal)
onboard via a provider app password on the existing plain-password sync path —
no OAuth, no new sync code. Gmail was oauth2-only with OAuth unimplemented, so it
was previously un-addable.
Backend:
- presets.yaml: each preset declares an ordered `auth_strategy`; Gmail becomes
`auth: password` + `[app_password, oauth2]`. App-password providers ship a
data-driven `help:` block (deep_link, app_name_hint, i18n step keys, docs_url).
- discovery/types: CandidateConfig carries `auth_strategy` + `HelpBlock`; presets
load them and autoconfig candidates derive a default from the detected auth.
- schemas/api: CandidateOut exposes auth_strategy + help; DiscoverResponse adds
`google_oauth_enabled`.
- config: GOOGLE_OAUTH_ENABLED flag (default false) gates the OAuth fallback.
Frontend:
- ProviderCredentialPanel (wizard step 1.5): deep-link popup (user gesture),
rendered steps, single paste field that strips whitespace, instant verify
(auto POST /accounts/test at 16 chars → Connected ✓ / mapped error), and the
auth_failed recovery branch with a gated "Sign in with Google instead" button.
- AccountWizard routes app-password providers to the panel, then a details step.
- i18n keys (en) for the panel + provider steps.
Honors the §6.2.2 prohibitions: no page automation, no real-password capture,
no scraping — deep-link + guide + paste + test only. Adds the v1.5 spec.

Calendar plugin (webmail_plugin_calendar, non-removable core plugin):
- Local calendars/events CRUD with RLS isolation; recurrence expanded at
query time (DST-correct), EXDATE + detached-override merge.
- Calendar app bundle: month/week/day/3-day views, mini-month, event form
(color, show-as, timezone combobox, repeat, reminders, guests w/ recipient
autocomplete, Jitsi video call), event popover with RSVP badges, resizable/
collapsible left panel + theme toggle, overlap layout.
- iMIP invites: sdk.mail sends REQUEST from the organizer's mailbox (HTML +
text/calendar + invite.ics); public /rsvp endpoint (vault-sealed token)
records accepted/declined/tentative per attendee.
- "This and following" edit + scoped delete (this / this-and-following), with
a delete confirmation dialog for recurring events.
Core:
- Settings: time_format (12/24h, default 24h) + jitsi_server; new Integrations
section; date order follows time format (en-GB vs en-US) across Mail.
- Plugin SDK: mail (send from a user's account), vault (envelope encrypt),
multi-method SSRF-guarded http; AppSwitcher product switcher; full-bleed
PluginPage.
Mail HTML rendering:
- Sanitizer allows <style> blocks + class (CSS sanitized: drop script-like,
strip @import/url() when remote images blocked); SANITIZER_VERSION 3 so
already-indexed mail re-sanitizes on view.
- Attachments: a Content-Disposition: attachment part is a real attachment
even when it also carries a Content-ID (fixes hidden invite.ics).

Search:
- Meilisearch backend (app/search/meili.py) + factory wiring; pinned SDK 2.7
- Search-as-you-type: debounced query + Postgres prefix matching, built from
the DB tokenizer so full email addresses match (email stays one lexeme)
- Saved searches API + sidebar virtual mailboxes; save affordance in the box
Account sync windows (SPEC §12 M2):
- Choose at setup: All (recent 30d first, then remainder), Last 3 months, New only
- Per-account sync_window + "Sync remaining mail" from settings (idempotent re-run)
- Provider windowed backfill (SINCE/BEFORE), message_count, newest_uid
- migration 0012: accounts.sync_window + backfill_total/backfill_done
Backfill progress UX:
- Floating progress card (auto-dissolves after 10s) + spinning sidebar ring that
fills with the account colour; driven by sync.progress over WS
Thread list pagination:
- Server-side offset + accurate grand total, with filter/order in SQL; working
prev/next across all synced mail
Reading panel:
- "Load images" one-off now actually renders images (?images=1) without trusting
the sender; envelope carries images_allowed so a trusted sender shows no prompt
Threading:
- Subject fallback no longer merges messages that declare an explicit (different)
parent; true siblings still group via a shared-parent reference match. Fixes
unrelated auto-replies with the same subject landing in one thread
Backend 257 tests green, ruff + mypy --strict clean; frontend tsc/eslint/vitest clean.

- Coordinator subscribes to account.state_changed over Redis pub/sub: going
live marks the account claimable at once; disabled/deleted/error tears the
owning runner down immediately (≤30s) instead of waiting for the lease TTL.
- delete_account now publishes account.state_changed:deleted after dropping the
account from sync:live, so teardown is event-driven, not just fencing.
- AccountRunner gains a verify loop (defense in depth): it periodically confirms
the account is still live and flags itself dead if not; the coordinator reaps
dead runners and releases their lease. Zombie loops are structurally impossible.
- New core event user.active (SPEC §8.3), published on login and on every WS
connect; consumed for tier promotion in step 5.
- Acceptance: added event-driven teardown test (isolated from fencing/verify).

Ownership of an account now moves through a Redis lease so any number of sync
workers can run against the same account set with no double-IDLE.
- leases.py: sync:live registry + sync:lease:{id} (SET NX EX) with owner-checked
Lua renew/release; mark_live / mark_not_live helpers.
- coordinator.py: SyncCoordinator claims from sync:live up to MAX_ACCOUNTS_PER_
WORKER, renews every LEASE_RENEW (fences the runner on lease loss), reconciles
sync:live against Postgres, heartbeats a worker key, and rebalances when it
holds well above a fair share.
- supervisor start/stop now drive a coordinator; engine._set_state and
delete_account maintain sync:live membership (+ lease drop = fencing teardown).
- config: MAX_ACCOUNTS_PER_WORKER, LEASE_TTL, LEASE_RENEW.
- tests: acceptance 1-3 (single ownership, crash failover, create/delete
lifecycle) driving the real coordinator + Redis with faked IMAP loops.

Backend
- Sent copies: persist locally on send + periodic multi-folder CONDSTORE poll
(Sent/Archive/Trash/Junk) so they thread and show without an IDLE-only INBOX.
- Bcc: transmitted copy omits Bcc, Sent copy keeps it; store/display bcc_addr.
- Drafts: mirror local drafts to the IMAP Drafts folder (append/replace/expunge);
inbound sync of foreign drafts (un-threaded) with adopt-to-edit + dedup by UID.
- Per-user storage quota (5 GiB default) and manual "sync all folders" action.
- Account editing (display/color/server/password) and per-account HTML signature.
- Account view scoped to that account's inbox; new migrations 0006–0009.
Frontend
- Mail-list pagination, folder filters (All/Unread/Pinned), sort toggle, refresh.
- Aligned + widened mail-list margins; reading-pane bars fixed height.
- Rich-text composer: color palette, highlight, image; attachments; expand/pop-out.
- Signatures: auto-insert for new mail, replace on From change, reply insert.
- Restore/Delete actions per folder; drafts view merges local + remote, date-sorted.
