+- **Dates & times**: language/region (every one of the ~620 locales CLDR has data for, each named in its own language and script), date order (locale default, `22.11.2025`, `22/11/2025`, `11/22/2025` or ISO `2025-11-22`) and 12h/24h clock, applied everywhere — message list and headers, calendar, contacts, files, sessions. The default comes from the locale configured for the account in Stalwart (`x:Account/get`), falling back to the browser's; POSIX forms are normalised (`de_DE.UTF-8` → `de-DE`) and script modifiers preserved (`sr_RS@latin` → `sr-Latn-RS`). Numerals follow the locale (`٢٢.١١.٢٠٢٥` for `ar-EG`), except under ISO 8601, which pins date *and* clock to Latin digits

 - `server/` — tiny Node/Hono backend: authenticates against Stalwart's JMAP session endpoint, stores the credentials sealed with a key derived from the cookie secret (the server never persists plaintext passwords), proxies JMAP/blob/SSE calls, serves the SPA with a strict CSP. Also contains `src/mock/` — an in-memory fake Stalwart for local development and demos.

 - **HTML signatures** — Stalwart caps identity signatures at 2 KB. ihasmail compacts pasted HTML, moves images to Files and, if still too large, keeps the full signature in Files behind a short marker (other clients see a text fallback). The end-to-end flow (save → compose → send with inline logo) is implemented but not yet confirmed on the live server.
 - **Files** — the live server runs an older Stalwart build than `main`; `FileNode/query` there rejects `isTopLevel`/`parentId` filters, so ihasmail falls back to listing all nodes and building the tree client-side. Upload/rename/move/delete still need a live pass.
 - Recurring events: colour/category/edit/delete apply to the whole series (per-occurrence overrides aren't supported by the server yet).
+- Date **pickers** (`<input type="datetime-local">` in the event editor and out-of-office settings) are native browser controls and always follow the browser's own locale — no page can restyle them. The chosen format is echoed underneath the out-of-office fields so the entered instant is unambiguous.
+- The account locale is read with Stalwart's `x:Account/get`, which needs the `sysAccountGet` permission; where a regular user is not granted it, ihasmail silently falls back to the browser locale and the setting can be chosen by hand.
