The first column listed a thread's `participants`, which the threader builds from
from + to + cc — so every ordinary email read "Sender, You", and the +N badge
beside the avatar counted the user themselves.
`participants` cannot simply be narrowed: the subject-fallback join matches an
incoming message's recipients against it (threader._by_subject), so dropping
recipients would change how mail is threaded. Hence a separate `threads.senders`,
holding only from addresses, newest writer first — which is also the right thing
for a conversation where several people replied.
Migration 0019 backfills it, so existing threads do not wait to be touched again.
The list falls back to `participants` if a row somehow has no senders, rather
than rendering an empty column.

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.

Labels:
- Moved labelling out of the "+label" message slot into Mail: label chips on the
thread subject bar (removable ✕) and before list subjects, and a Labels submenu
in the per-message Actions menu (multi-select checkboxes + "Create new…").
Per-message storage kept; the reading pane writes a thread-union aggregate so the
list (no message ids) can show chips.
- Sidebar LABELS section rewritten: aligned monocolor tag rows, collapsible
(collapsed by default), inline "+" create popover, hover "−" delete with a confirm
popover, and click-to-filter the mail list by label.
- Backend: batch message/thread label reads, thread aggregate, create + delete
(delete unhooks from all mail), and GET /labels/{name}/threads. Core GET /threads
gained an `ids` param to power the label view. Removed the plugin-pages list from
the Mail sidebar.
Plain-text mail now renders in Lato (self-hosted at /fonts, @font-face'd into the
sandboxed message iframe) instead of the monospace <pre> default.
Calendar right-panel (embed mode): restored the "…" view-options menu, pinned the
toolbar + mini-calendar (only the agenda scrolls), plain "All calendars" button
(inline resets), and the event popover now closes on any outside click.

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).

Frontend:
- Full-screen attachment preview overlay (AttachmentPreview) for image/pdf/txt
plus office docs: .docx via docx-preview (rendered live into the sandboxed
iframe so header/footer VML images survive), .xlsx via xlsx-preview, and
.odt/.ods/.odp/.odg via a JSZip+DOMParser ODF walker (officeConvert).
- Type-aware attachment icons (green spreadsheet, blue document, red PDF,
image/archive); new document/image/spreadsheet/print SVGs.
- Composer: drag-drop attachments (body drop inserts images inline, else
attaches); inserted images are selectable/resizable/deletable (RichTextEditor).
- Undo-send: "Sending…" banner with live "N seconds to Undo" countdown.
- Search result list: pin/archive/delete update correctly; grey-out only for
search hits; scoped "Search in Trash/Spam".
Backend:
- Search: prefix (search-as-you-type) matching, email-address search, and
address-first result ordering; Trash/Junk excluded with scoped folder search.
- Attachments: RFC 6266 Content-Disposition for non-ASCII filenames; one-time
inline image loading.

Backend:
- Collapse identical cross-account deliveries in a thread: new messages.delivery_id
(migration 0011) preserves the real Message-ID even when message_id_hdr is
synthesized (§7.1); get_thread groups by it and reports also_in_account_ids; the
list count counts distinct deliveries. Backfill script for existing rows.
Frontend:
- Bundle Lato (SIL OFL) as the UI font; unread mail-list rows use Black weight.
- Mail-list selection: hover-avatar checkbox, tri-state "select all", bulk
Archive/Pin/Delete (Restore/Delete in Archive/Trash/Spam) with a count in the
reading pane; unread blue dot; "also delivered to" note in the thread.
- Spacing/size tuning: sender-column width, icon gaps, avatar size, bar heights,
and a round of -1px font sizes across the sidebar, mail list, and reading pane.

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.
