A new feature gate, tagsAboveSharedEnabled (default off, so the sidebar
keeps its order), lists the Tags section above the shared mailboxes
instead of below them. With many shared mailboxes expanded, the tags
otherwise end up out of sight. In Mountain View the tags then follow the
Labels list directly, also when More is open.

The demo user becomes Nora Lindqvist, engineering lead at Meridian Labs,
in the week of a product launch. The fixtures tell one story across mail,
contacts, calendar, tasks and files, and exercise the features the
screenshots and the public demo should show:
- a second, mail-only login (her personal domain) and the shared Support
mailbox delegated to the work account, so the account switcher, the
shared section and the merged inbox have real content
- raw headers the way Stalwart writes them: the sender check fails on
the phishing mail, newsletters carry a one-click unsubscribe, one mail
asks for a read receipt, and spam scores show in the details
- an iMIP invitation with a served .ics, an event waiting for the answer
on the calendar, and RSVP patches applied in the demo client
- @mentions as mailto links in a received mail, a verification code
twelve minutes old, nested folders, named tags on the mail, contact
groups, a scheduled message and tasks switched on
- every attachment and file backed by real bytes under public/demo,
generated by `scripts/demo-assets/generate.mjs`; contact photos are
bundled portraits instead of requests to randomuser.me
- folder counts computed from the mail instead of hand-kept numbers
Demo login seeds the tags, templates and merged-inbox settings once per
device and switches the cross-account gate on for the session; "Reset"
restores them. `bulwark-demo-simulate=off` in localStorage stops the
simulated incoming mail for screenshot runs.
With the navigation collapsed, Mountain View gives the sidebar a 72px
column, but the sidebar inside kept the default layout's 48px width. The
round compose button was cut in half, the selected folder's highlight
ran off the edge, and an empty strip showed before the message list.
- The refresh button was labelled "Loading" and the overflow menu
"Mark folder as read"; they now say Refresh and More actions.
- The Starred row stayed highlighted while a tag was open, and its icon
ignored the colourful-icons setting.
- Reply, Reply all and Forward use the standard small button size.
- With a single login the account popover offers one Sign out pill
instead of a pill-less footer row.
- The compose backdrop matches the other dialogs.
- Layout settings hide the mail layout and toolbar label options, which
do nothing under Mountain View; their values still apply to the
default layout.
Add an "Interface layout" setting at the top of Settings > Layout with two
options, Default and Mountain View. Default is the existing layout and stays
the default, so nothing changes unless a user opts in.
Mountain View rearranges the chrome while keeping the theme's colours, icons
and type:
- desktop: a top bar with a wide search field (filters drop from the field),
an apps grid and the account avatar instead of the left app rail; flat
navigation with Starred under Inbox and the rest behind "More"; a Compose
pill; one list toolbar with select-all, refresh, overflow menu, a 1-N of
total range and the batch actions; rows led by a checkbox and a star; an
icon-only message toolbar with Reply / Reply all / Forward under the
message; compose in a docked window; an account popover with per-account
unread counts; j/k cursor, x to select and g-sequences
- phone: rounded search header, compact rows with the star on the preview
line, and Reply / Reply all / Forward at the end of a message instead of
the bottom action bar
It is one setting (`interfaceLayout`), written to a data attribute on <html>
that keys a block of CSS tokens in globals.css, plus a few components gated
on the flag. The mail layout in force is derived (effectiveMailLayout), so
the user's saved mail layout is never rewritten. The setting is listed in
the admin policy tab, and the new strings are translated in all locales.
Includes unit tests and a Playwright smoke test against a running instance
(scripts/mountain-view-smoke/).
An aria-label on a plain span is not reliably read out, so the count
now comes with a visually hidden label and the digits themselves are
hidden from screen readers. Also reuses the sidebar's existing accounts
selector instead of subscribing to the same list twice.
After a load the logins other than the one on screen reconnect in the
background, and until they are all back the unified counts cover only
some of them. With many logins that lasts seconds, and a partial total
looks exactly like the whole one.
While that restore runs, the "All accounts" header shows how many logins
are already in the scope, e.g. "4/10", with a translated label for screen
readers. It goes away when the scope is complete or the restore is over -
a login that failed to reconnect does not keep it up.
`restoringAccounts` in the auth store marks the background restore; the
count itself is a pure function with its own tests.
In the unified views, a tag view and an "All folders" search a
selection can span logins and accounts, and message, account and folder
ids repeat across both: Stalwart numbers the accounts and the system
folders of every install alike.
- Archive sent the whole selection through one login into the Archive of
the selected folder's account, which is a virtual folder there, so the
own one: messages of a group account or of another login were archived
by their ids in the own account, where the same ids can name unrelated
messages, or failed after the own ones had moved. The list dropped
every selected row either way. Each login and account now archives
into its own Archive.
- "Move to" and dragging messages applied one folder id to every
account, so another account's messages landed in whatever folder has
that id there, and failed moves were dropped from the list anyway.
Only messages in the folder's own login and account change folders in
place now; the others take the cross-account move (Email/copy within
one login, download and import across logins), a single message moved
with "Move to" or dragged as well.
- A drop goes to the login whose sidebar list shows the folder. It went
to the first login whose own account id matched the folder's, which
with two servers that both number the user `e` could be the other one.
- "Spam" did nothing while the app said the messages were marked, and
"Not spam" failed, because the selected folder is a virtual one there.
Both now write each message in its own account and move it to that
account's Junk or Inbox. The spam shortcut in "All Junk" means "Not
spam", as the toolbar does.
- What could not be archived, moved or marked stays listed and selected,
and the error says why.
A delayed send composed from a shared/group identity is created in the
*shared* JMAP account, because sendEmail() passes the target account to
getSubmissionAccountId(). Every read/write on the scheduled surface,
however, asked the primary submission account only:
getScheduledEmails / cancelEmailSubmission / rescheduleEmailSubmission
-> getSubmissionAccountId() // no argument = primary account
So a message scheduled from a shared address is accepted and stays
pending on the server — it *will* be delivered at sendAt — while the UI
cannot list it, cancel it or reschedule it. Cancelling appears to work:
EmailSubmission/set against the primary account answers `notFound` in
notUpdated, which the client never surfaced, and the mail goes out
anyway. Silent unrecallable mail is worse than a failed send.
Stalwart advertises urn:ietf:params:jmap:submission (with FUTURERELEASE
and a non-zero maxDelayedSend) on group accounts as well as personal
ones, so scheduling from a shared address is legitimate.
Data layer:
- getSubmissionAccountIds() enumerates every submission-capable account;
getScheduledEmails() queries each, tags every result with the account
that owns it, and fetches each submission's Email from that same
account (it lives beside the submission, not in the primary account).
It also returns per-account totals computed over all pending
submissions, so a badge stays correct past the first page.
- resolveSubmissionAccountId() locates a submission's owning account so
cancel/reschedule (and the sendAt/envelope helpers) act on the right
one. Callers that know the account pass it and skip the lookup.
- sendEmail() reports the submission's account in SendEmailResult, and
the pending-undo record carries it, so the "Undo send" / "Send now"
toast actions — which know only a submission id — address the right
account directly rather than searching for it inside the undo window.
- The delayed-send gate considers any reachable submission account
rather than only the primary one.
UI:
- Each shared account gets its own "Scheduled" sidebar row, scoped to
that account; the own row keeps showing the combined view. The scope
travels beside the virtual mailbox id, so the store's single
__scheduled__ id is unchanged, and it also drives which row renders as
selected and whether the scoped list has more to load.
Tested against a real Stalwart (integration/tests/11-shared-scheduled-send):
two server-truth tests pin the mechanism (the submission is invisible to
the primary account, and cancelling through it is a silent no-op) and two
UI tests cover the fix. All three UI-level assertions — the combined
list, the scoped row, and which row is selected — fail without this
change.
Review follow-up on the shared-folder mutation routing.
The owner lookup replaced the resolved client with any connected client whose
JMAP account id matched. Account ids are opaque per-server values, and personal
mailboxes carry an accountId too, so this ran on every folder mutation and could
hand a mutation to a client of a different server that happens to issue the same
id - where the bare mailbox id may exist and belong to someone else. Keep the
resolved client when it already is the owner, and require a candidate to match
the server URL as well as the account id.
Recover the owner account and the bare mailbox id from the namespaced store id
when no mailbox object is available. Previously the raw `accountId:id` went to
the server as a mailbox id with the owner dropped, so the mutation targeted the
active personal account; in setMailboxRole that cleared the personal role before
failing.
Drop the shared account header context menu when the account carries no usable
id. buildMailboxTree groups shared mailboxes without an accountId under the
placeholder "unknown", which cannot be a mutation target.
Folder management performed on a shared/group account was sent to the
logged-in user's primary JMAP account instead of the mailbox owner's
account. Subfolder creation therefore failed with invalidProperties for
parentId, root folders could be created silently in the personal account,
and rename, delete, role, and reorder targeted the wrong mailbox tree.
Shared mailboxes use namespaced store ids to avoid cross-account
collisions, while Mailbox/set requires the owner's accountId and the bare
server mailbox id. Resolve that mutation context centrally: recover the
mailbox originalId and owner account, use a directly connected owner
client when one exists, otherwise reach delegated/group accounts through
the active client with an explicit accountId.
Thread the account target through create, update, and delete JMAP methods
and all folder-management actions. Scope role replacement to the same
owner account, and expose explicit root-folder creation from shared
account headers without making personal root creation depend on the
currently selected folder.
Add unit coverage for JMAP request scoping, shared store routing, role
isolation, direct-client handling, and reorder. Add a Stalwart integration
scenario that creates root and nested group folders, renames them, and
deletes them through the UI.
If you have a large number of tags, getTagCounts would not be able to get the
unread counts because it did not respect maxCallsInRequest, even though the
value was actually read out, it was just ignored. There are also other places
where the limits were not respected.
Batching is now generalized in a helper that also takes maxObjectsInSet, which
also was ignored, into account and is applied to all functions.
In addition, the dev mock now also advertises and enforces the limits, so these
issues can get picked up during development.

Nested tag toasts from drag-and-drop only showed the leaf name for
non-root tags, contradicting the comment above it and making two
same-named leaves under different parents (e.g. Personal/Receipts vs
Work/Receipts) indistinguishable in the toast.
The context menu's markAsRead handler was the one action left reading
the stale contextMenu.data instead of the live-refreshed
contextMenuEmail introduced alongside it, so it could act on outdated
email state while every sibling handler was already updated.
Previously tags where very much focused on color coding email and less about
adding additional information. They were also visualized in different ways in
different locations.
This commit gets rid of all "Color-coding" references, aligns visualization of
the tags across the whole project and tries to improve user experience of using
tags in general.
A search box is shown in the tagging control so the user can quickly search for
a tag if they have a huge (more than 10) amount of tags.
- levels are joined by forward slashes in the keywords
- behaviour is opt-in for now
- long paths are shortened if there is not enough display room
Closes#687.
