The third store fetching everything by asking for nothing. Same cause as
the calendars and address books a commit ago: Stalwart does not return
`shareWith` unless a client names it, so mail folders never looked shared
either.
This one has a narrow but real consequence. Sharing a mail folder is
withdrawn, because Stalwart stores the share and never delivers it, and
the only way left to clear one already made is the "Stop sharing" entry
-- which appears only when a folder looks shared. Without the property it
never did. The escape hatch built for exactly that situation could not be
reached from the situation it was built for.
Found by looking for the rest of them rather than waiting for the next
report: `ids: null` with no `properties`, across the app. The others it
turned up -- Sieve scripts, identities, the vacation response, quotas,
participant identities, push subscriptions -- have no `shareWith` to
lose, so mailboxes were the last.
The mock hides it here as well now, so all three are honest.
The reading pane emptied and refilled when a thread was marked read. On
an HTML message that is a flash to the app's own background and out
again, which is what remained of #100 once the message view stopped
rebuilding its body.
`applyChanges` dropped `fullIds` for every email the server reported as
updated, so the next read would fetch it again. But the reading pane
renders only the emails it holds in full. Dropping one took the message
out of the open thread until the refetch at the end of the same function
put it back -- and marking as read causes exactly that, because the
server echoes our own change back as an update. The gap is a round trip,
which is why it is plainly visible against a real server.
Nothing is lost by keeping the copy. RFC 8621 makes every property of an
Email immutable except `keywords` and `mailboxIds` -- the id is derived
from the content, so a body cannot change beneath one -- and both are in
LIST_PROPS, which the refresh immediately below merges over the cached
copy. The eviction only ever cost the message its place in the thread.
On the evidence, since I got this wrong once already by trusting a
reproduction that did not exist. This is reasoned from the code and
matched against the reported symptom -- "the pane empties and comes
back", which is precisely what removing an email from the thread and
refetching it looks like. It is not backed by a local reproduction: the
mock never ran this path at all, because `Email/set` announced nothing
and `Email/changes` always answered empty. That is being fixed
separately, and it is why every check made here has been against a server
that never reported the change being made.
Junk Mail can now be emptied in one action, the way every other mail
client offers it: a banner across the top of the folder, and an item in
both the folder's right-click menu and the list's own menu.
The messages are destroyed rather than moved to Deleted Items. Routing
spam through the bin on its way out leaves you with the same problem in
a different folder, and "delete all spam" means gone everywhere else. So
the dialog says it before you commit, and there is no undo.
emptyMailbox already did the hard part -- walking a folder a page at a
time so it survives maxObjectsInSet, which a Deleted Items of 5192 once
did not. All that changed is which folders it will accept. The guard
stays in the store rather than living only in the menus, so a fourth
caller cannot empty the Inbox by asking nicely.
The three entry points share one helper, because three dialogs warning
about a permanent deletion in three slightly different ways is how one
of them ends up not warning at all. A folder with nothing in it offers
the item greyed out rather than hiding it, so it is where you expect it
to be next time.
Folder naming is fixed in the same commit because it changed the same
file, and because testing this is what surfaced it. Two problems, one
cause:
- The mock called its folders "Trash" and "Sent". Stalwart's defaults
follow the Exchange convention -- "Deleted Items", "Sent Items" --
so anything built from a folder's name read differently against the
mock than against a real server, and every screenshot in the README
showed a folder list no user has.
- Worse, and in shipping code: the undo toast took a hardcoded label
in preference to the folder's actual name, so deleting a message
announced "moved to Trash" on a server whose folder is called
"Deleted Items", and reporting spam said "moved to Spam" where it is
"Junk Mail". The one message whose job is saying where mail went was
naming somewhere that does not exist. It now prefers the mailbox's
own name and keeps the hardcoded word only as a fallback.
Verified against the mock: the banner appears only in Junk and only with
something to delete, the dialog counts and pluralises, the messages are
destroyed and Deleted Items stays empty afterwards, the banner
disappears once the folder is, the item greys out when empty, Archive is
offered neither, and Trash still says "Empty Deleted Items".
Deleting a folder removed every rule that filed into it, along with
whatever else those rules did. A rule that filed into Work, marked read
and stopped processing lost the marking and the stopping too, and
deleting a folder says nothing about whether those were still wanted.
Only the fileinto action goes now. A rule left with nothing to do is
still removed, because it has nothing to do; a rule filing into two
folders keeps the one that still exists. The toast says which happened.
Verified against the running app with two rules aimed at the same
folder, one filing only and one filing and marking read: the first was
removed, the second kept its markread, and the script stored on the
server agrees.
A rule files mail into a folder by path, because that is what Sieve
needs. Rename the folder and the path becomes a lie: the rule keeps
matching and stops filing, and nothing anywhere says so. Delete the
folder and the rule is aimed at nothing at all.
Renaming or moving a folder now rewrites the rules that file into it,
and deleting one takes its rules with it. Both are reported in a toast,
because rules live on the server and are otherwise invisible from the
folder list.
The reconciliation runs off one hook. Before a mailbox is changed the
folder and everything beneath it are noted with the paths they have then
-- renaming a parent rewrites the path of every child, and rules naming
those children are just as stale. Afterwards, whatever still exists is
retargeted and whatever has gone takes its rules with it.
Rules record the folder twice, as a mailboxId and as the path. The id is
the reliable half and is preferred; the path is the fallback for rules
written before the id was recorded, or by hand in the Scripts tab, and a
rule matched that way has its id filled in on the way past. Only the
script the rule editor manages is touched; a hand-written one is left
alone.
Awaited rather than fired and forgotten, so a folder operation is not
reported complete while the rules still disagree with it.
JMAP has an extension for this -- RFC 9007's MDN/send -- and Stalwart does
not implement it, so ihasmail assembles the RFC 8098 multipart/report itself
and sends it the long way round: raw MIME uploaded as a blob, imported,
submitted. That is also why the receipt lands in Sent, which is where it
honestly belongs.
The plumbing is the easy half. A receipt tells whoever asked that the address
is live and when the message was read, to an address the sender chose, so the
refusals are the feature: nothing marked Auto-Submitted (RFC 3834, or two
servers answer each other forever), nothing carrying Precedence bulk/list/junk
or a List-Id, nothing already acknowledged, nothing that never arrived. A
receipt aimed anywhere other than the sender is offered, but says so first.
There is no "always send" setting, only ask or never.
Sending is recorded with RFC 3503's $mdnsent keyword on the original rather
than remembered locally, so a second look -- or another client entirely --
knows not to ask again. Non-ASCII parts go base64 rather than 8bit, so
nothing rests on 8BITMIME surviving every hop.
Verified against the mock end to end: the blob uploads, the receipt imports
and submits, and the original reads back marked. Not yet exercised against
the live server.
Emptying Deleted Items back-referenced one Email/query straight into one
Email/set, so every id in the folder arrived in a single call. Stalwart
refuses the whole call over maxObjectsInSet with requestTooLarge, which
left a folder of 5192 messages impossible to empty at all.
Walk the folder a page at a time instead: the filter re-runs each pass,
so the next page is whatever is still there. A pass that destroys nothing
stops the loop and reports the server's error rather than spinning.
The same defect sat in two neighbours. Delete-forever on a large
selection sent every id in one Email/set, and mark-all-read fed up to
5000 ids into an Email/get that only echoed them back - past
maxObjectsInGet, and for no gain, since the query already returned them.
Both now page through the same ceiling, read from the session rather than
hardcoded.
The mock advertised maxObjectsInSet but never enforced it, so none of
this could fail in a test. It now rejects oversized get and set calls the
way Stalwart does.
While here, restrict emptying to Deleted Items. It was offered on Junk
too, where a permanent one-shot clear is harder to justify; Junk is now
select-all plus Delete, which takes the batched path.
"Send failed: Invalid property or value." is Stalwart's description for
invalidProperties, and on its own it says nothing about what to fix. The
SetError also carries a `properties` array naming the offending fields, which
every call site was discarding.
setErrorMessage appends them, and the 35 places that surfaced a SetError -
send, save draft, mailboxes, calendars, contacts, sieve, files, signature
images, sharing - now go through it.
- Move the expand chevron into a gutter left of the folder icon so folders
with and without subfolders line up on their icon; labels share the column.
- Add "Mark all as read, incl. subfolders" to the folder context menu, with
the affected count and a per-folder fallback for servers without filter
operators.
- Re-measure the virtualised message list when row height changes.
- Mock: seed unread mail in a subfolder.
