The app had six ways to turn a name into avatar initials, and none of
them was the webmail's. The webmail's Avatar skips punctuation and
symbols in front of each name part ("Sofia" Russo is SR, not "S), takes
two letters of a single name and the first letter of the address
without one. Senders, accounts (sidebar and sign-in), contacts, compose
suggestions and the home-screen widgets all use that now.
Bulwark Mobile
Beta - work in progress. Many features are unfinished or rough. Expect bugs, missing functionality, and breaking changes between releases. Do not rely on this for primary email yet.
React Native (Expo SDK 54) client for Bulwark Webmail - a JMAP-based mail, calendar, and contacts app.
What works today
- Sign in to any JMAP server (e.g. Stalwart)
- Multiple accounts
- Email list, threads, compose
- Calendar (basic)
- Contacts (basic)
- Push notifications via the Bulwark relay - FCM by default, or UnifiedPush (e.g. ntfy) for devices without Google Play services
- Android: contacts and calendars sync both ways with the phone's Contacts and Calendar apps (Settings → Contacts / Calendar → Sync to this device)
- In-app sideload updates from GitHub Releases
What's missing or rough
- iOS builds, but push notifications, client certificates and syncing with the phone's contacts and calendars are Android-only so far
- S/MIME, plugins, themes - UI stubs only (filters & rules, the vacation responder and file storage are real implementations)
- Calendar editing is partial; contacts editing is basic
- No Play Store distribution yet (sideload APK from Releases); iOS ships via TestFlight
Run locally
npm install
npx expo start
Then press a for Android, i for iOS, or scan the QR with Expo Go.
For release APK builds and signing see docs/android-release.md. For iOS builds and TestFlight distribution see docs/ios-release.md.
