- 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.

v1.3.26's IMAP4_SSL subclass put its create_client ahead of aioimaplib's,
which is where the TLS context is made — so port 993 got plain TCP, the
server waited for a handshake, and every SSL account timed out ("Can't
reach the mail server"). The context is now made in our create_client too,
and a test checks an SSL client really gets one (it fails without the fix).
With IMAP down, a send could still be delivered by SMTP while filing its copy
in Sent failed — the send then counted as done and the copy was lost. The
copy is now kept and filed by file_sent_copy_job, retried (arq Retry) for
about 24 hours, then shown in Sent as usual.

Sending: a send the server could not take (unreachable, timeout, 4xx) is no
longer failed at once. It waits in Scheduled ("retrying") and is tried again
after 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 min, then hourly, for 24 hours — on the server, so it
works with the browser closed. A permanent refusal (5xx, wrong password) is
"failed" at once, with the server's reason. GET /outbox lists both;
POST /outbox/{id}/retry (Retry now) and /cancel (Edit, Delete) act on them,
and they are left out of Drafts. Mail delivered but not filed in Sent now
counts as sent, and a conditional claim keeps two jobs from sending one
message twice. The app says when a send failed and when it finally went.
Actions: arq retries a job only on Retry, never on a plain exception, so the
"retry x5, then revert" for flags and moves never happened. Flag, move,
archive, restore, delete and empty-folder jobs now raise Retry while the
server is unreachable (~24 hours of growing gaps), skip a change a later one
replaced, stop at the first connection failure instead of 20 s per message,
and delete/empty keep the rows until the server has the messages gone.
Account health: 3 failed connections in a row mark an account unreachable
(amber in the sidebar and Settings, cleared on the next success); 3 refused
sign-ins stop its syncing as auth_failed until the password is entered
again, so the provider does not lock the account. Sync loops back off 30 s
doubling to 10 min and log one line per expected failure; a refused
connection fails at once with its reason (the connect task is kept), and a
silently dead IDLE connection is noticed within ~11 min instead of ~29.
Also: the empty reading pane is clipped to its width when dragged very
narrow; tests no longer leave live accounts and outbox rows in the database.
Migration 0021: outbox attempts / next_attempt_at / retry_until, accounts
sync_error / sync_error_since.

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.

Server-side deletions now propagate to the DB. Previously poll() detected new
messages and CONDSTORE flag deltas but never expunges (the old TODO), so mail
deleted in another client lingered as phantoms outside the small Drafts reconcile.
- provider: enable QRESYNC when advertised (_maybe_enable_qresync + qresync_enabled
property). poll() harvests VANISHED (expunged UIDs) and changed FLAGS in one pass
via a raw `SELECT <mbox> (QRESYNC (uidvalidity modseq))` — issued as a low-level
SELECT because aioimaplib only surfaces untagged VANISHED lines on a sync command,
not on an async UID FETCH. CONDSTORE-only servers (e.g. Gmail) keep the CHANGEDSINCE
flag delta and fall back to the engine reconcile.
- parsing: parse_vanished() for `VANISHED [(EARLIER)] <uid-set>` with range expansion.
- engine: apply_delta now drops expunged rows from the search index, un-links any
local draft mirroring a vanished UID, and publishes message.deleted for the UI.
- tests: parse_vanished unit cases + apply_delta expunge (removal, draft un-link,
modseq advance).
Verified live: the worker issues `SELECT "INBOX" (QRESYNC (uidvalidity modseq))`
against QRESYNC-capable accounts. ruff + mypy --strict clean; 296 tests pass.

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.

Backend:
- Restore returns each message to its original folder (e.g. Sent/Archive) instead
of always the Inbox: new messages.restore_mailbox_id (migration 0010) +
restore_thread_job.
- Drafts: expunge reconciliation for the Drafts poll (provider.list_uids /
_reconcile_drafts) clears phantom "remote" drafts; send + discard drop the
mirrored DB row; adopting a remote draft carries its real attachments into the
compose flow.
- Thread detail/list are folder-aware: individually trashed/spam messages are
hidden outside their folder, Trash/Spam show only their own messages, and the
mail-list message count matches the view.
Frontend:
- Thread reading panel: fix newest-first card overlap/spacing (expand-all and
single expand), hide Reply/Forward on trashed messages, close the Actions menu
on message-body (iframe) clicks, scroll to the inline composer, and prompt
Save draft / Discard on the X close.
- Composer: remount when switching drafts, dirty-tracking to stop duplicate IMAP
mirrors, and close the From/More dropdowns on outside click.
- Sidebar: collapse/expand toggle (icons-only ~60px rail) and a log-out icon on
Sign out.
- Mail-standard printing in a new window with reliable page margins (lib/print.ts).

- 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.
