Attachments in the reading pane are tiles with a preview: images and a PDF's
first page, rendered on the server (Pillow, pypdfium2) as WebP of at most
480 px, cached beside the blob store and in the browser. Tiles are all one
size — at most 230 px wide, narrower so three still fit in a row — and frame
each preview by its shape: close to the tile's it fills it, very tall / wide /
square ones show whole over a blurred copy, small ones are not enlarged, PDFs
show the top of the page. The name bar (checkbox, type, name, size, download)
slides in on hover and adapts to the tile's width; files without a preview
get a large type icon. Previews of opened conversations are kept offline.
Forward now carries the original's attachments: new compose attachments
sharing the stored blobs (POST /messages/{id}/forward-attachments).
Mailbox display / Settings → Appearance: "Show a dividing line between
rows" (off by default, per device), with a new switch. Settings drop the
"On a phone…" note, and "Language" reads "Spellchecking language".

The sender column showed participants[0], and participants are rebuilt
newest message first — so replying to a thread put the user in that slot
and the list named them instead of the person who wrote in.
Thread summaries (list and search) now carry `senders`: the distinct From
addresses of the thread's visible messages, oldest first, with the same
Trash/Spam visibility as the message count. The list joins them and shows
the user's own account addresses as "me" ("me, Alice" for a thread the
user started), and the avatar prefers the other side of the conversation.

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.

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.

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:
- 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:
- 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).

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.
