- Snooze (with a Snoozed folder), keyboard shortcuts with a Settings
section, mail templates (Compose > More > Templates), a Subscriptions
folder with bulk unsubscribe/delete, and tracker blocking with a
Privacy toggle (on by default)
- Own dialogs instead of browser popups; emoji picker in compose; compose
windows survive a visit to Settings
- Sentence completion learned from the user's sent mail (no AI)
- Interface in English and Polish (one file per language, English as the
fallback), picked from the browser on first run, then kept
- Email translation on the server via LibreTranslate: Translate button
and "Translate to...", messages in several languages translated part
by part, names/addresses/emoji/file names/phone numbers kept, an
animated line while translating
- Antispam "Mark as spam" loads with the message, not when the menu opens

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.

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.

Search (PG backend):
- '@' terms match address substrings (from/to/cc), so a partial email like
"dyrektor@wfdif" resolves and narrows predictably as you type
- index each address split into parts, so a bare domain/local word ("wfdif")
finds the address (indexed as one lexeme otherwise); dotted terms fall back to
an address substring
- rank sender/recipient name+address matches above body/subject-only ones
(addr_hit tier, then recency); cursor extended to keep keyset pagination correct
- scripts/reindex_address_parts.py backfills address tokens into existing rows
Inline images:
- extract attachments via a full MIME walk instead of shallow iter_attachments(),
which missed inline images nested in mixed>related>alternative (cid: rendered
broken); has_attachments counts only real (non-cid) attachments
- scripts/backfill_inline_attachments.py stores previously-missed inline images
Folder-name i18n (SPEC §12 M2):
- accent/punctuation-insensitive, multi-delimiter (/ \ .) special-use inference
across ~13 languages; curated names (no substring false positives)
Link security (reading panel):
- links never navigate the message iframe: a parent-side click interceptor opens
http/https in a new tab (noopener) and mailto in the composer (recipient
pre-filled); all other schemes blocked
Backend 292 tests green, ruff + mypy --strict clean; frontend tsc/eslint/vitest clean.

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.

- concurrency.loop_semaphore: per-event-loop semaphores (safe across pytest loops
and process restarts via a WeakKeyDictionary keyed by the running loop).
- provider: holds a per-account (≤4) and per-host (PER_HOST_CONN_CAP) slot for the
whole lifetime of an IMAP socket, released on close; SMTP send takes a per-host
slot for its duration. A worker can no longer open hundreds of sockets to one
host/account.
- indexer: parsing goes through a PARSE_CONCURRENCY semaphore, and a message over
STREAM_PARSE_MB is parsed from its blob file (parse_message_file) instead of an
in-memory tree, so peak RAM ~= PARSE_CONCURRENCY x STREAM_PARSE_MB regardless of
mailbox sizes. Backfill parallelism stays bounded by the bulk queue only.
- config: PER_HOST_CONN_CAP, PARSE_CONCURRENCY, STREAM_PARSE_MB.
- tests: per-account cap blocks the 5th connection / distinct accounts independent;
file-vs-bytes parse equivalence + large-message streaming routing.

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.
