web/src/lib had grown to 85 flat modules -- 42% of the web source, about
12,800 lines -- with one subdirectory (smime/) to its name. The tell was
that a naming prefix had taken over a directory's job: eight adminX.ts
files sat adjacent because alphabetical order put them there, not because
anything said they belonged together.
lib/admin/ adminAccess, adminDashboard, adminDirectory, adminDomains,
adminGroups, adminLists, adminRoles, adminTenants
lib/calendar/ appointment, availabilityWindow, eventDrag, ics, recurrence
Tests move with their modules into lib/admin/__tests__ and
lib/calendar/__tests__, which is what views/ already does. describeRules
stays in lib/__tests__: it checks that sieve's describeRule and
recurrence's agree, so it belongs to neither.
recurrence.ts joins the calendar group and archiveDate.ts does not, which
is the opposite of the first guess from the filenames. archiveDate picks
the Archive/2026/09 mailbox for a message -- mail, not calendar --
while recurrence reads JSCalendarRecurrenceRule. schedule.ts is scheduled
*send*, so it stays put too. birthdays.ts is left alone deliberately: it
is read off the contact cards and only rendered by the calendar, so it
belongs to whichever of the two you ask.
docs/ held no documentation. It held ten JPEGs and the two scripts that
capture them, while the actual documentation is a separate site in the
ihasmail.org repository -- so anyone opening docs/ expecting prose found
a headless-Chrome driver. The images are now screenshots/, and the two
capture scripts join the other .mjs tooling in scripts/, which is where a
generator belongs. Renaming docs/ to screenshots/ wholesale would have
produced screenshots/screenshots/inbox-dark.jpg.
No behavior changes: every import was already on the @/ alias, so this is
path rewrites and nothing else.

ihasmail
Immutable webmail for Stalwart Mail Server. Mail, calendars, contacts, files and filters in one app that works as well on a phone as on a desktop — and a container with nothing to persist.
ihasmail talks only JMAP to Stalwart. There is no database, no IMAP or SMTP,
and with IMMUTABLE=1 no writable filesystem either: everything durable,
settings included, belongs to Stalwart, so the container is disposable.

What's in it
- Mail — conversations, labels, search operators, keyboard shortcuts, scheduled and undo send, invitations and RSVP, filters made from a message
- Calendar — month, week, day and agenda views, recurrence, attendees and free-busy
- Contacts — address books, groups, vCard import and export
- Files — browse, upload, move, share
- Signature checking — S/MIME signed mail verified as you read it
- Settings that follow the account, kept in the account's own storage on Stalwart
- On a phone — swipe to archive or delete, pull to refresh, hold to select
- Administration — a dashboard, accounts, groups, mailing lists, roles, tenants and domains, each shown only when the Stalwart role allows it
- Ten interface languages and twelve themes — the nine translations are marked Beta until a native speaker has read them
- Platform — installable PWA, Web Push,
mailto:handler, no credentials in the browser, strict CSP
The long version is FEATURES.md and ihasmail.org.
Requirements
Stalwart 0.16 or newer — sign-in refuses anything older, by name. Tested against 0.16.22; what changed in each release is in KNOWN-ISSUES.md.
- No Stalwart yet? ihasmail-oneshot deploys a new Stalwart and ihasmail together on one host, in one command.
- On Stalwart 0.15? stalwart-migrator upgrades it in place, or stay on the
stalwart-0.15-supportrelease.
Quick start (Docker)
cp .env.example .env
# edit: STALWART_URL=https://mail.example.com and APP_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 48)
docker compose up --build -d
# → http://localhost:8080 — put a reverse proxy in front for TLS
Or pull the published image, ghcr.io/coffey-labs/ihasmail. Releases are
weekly, so it is usually a few days behind main.
People sign in with their Stalwart mailbox credentials. An account with two-factor authentication needs an app password, created in Stalwart's own settings.
Everything else — TLS, running immutably, several Stalwart servers, settings the installation decides, every environment variable — is in Installing and Configuring.
Development
npm install
npm run dev:mock # built-in mock Stalwart ([email protected] / demo)
npm test
Architecture, the mock's switches and how versions are numbered are in CONTRIBUTING.md.
