Settings > Account had a "Display name" that edited Stalwart's account
description, while mail went out with the identity's name, so changing
it changed nothing people saw. The page now shows "Your name", the
primary address's name, and saves it to that identity. The account
switcher and avatars take the same name; the principal description is
only used for an account without an identity name. The address editor
calls the field "Your name" too, and "identities" are "addresses" in
the Account section and its dialog, said once instead of twice.
Logged-in accounts show the server only for an account in trouble or
one sharing its address with another, with no drag hint or arrows for a
single account. The switcher wraps addresses instead of cutting them and
has no remove button per row; an account you're not in is removed from
Settings > Account.
Changed tests: auth-store-display-name now expects the identity name to
win over the principal; account-switcher-remove expects no remove
button on the rows; settings-editors-unsaved uses the renamed "Add
address" button and the "Your name" label, which has no placeholder.
Settings search knew none of the desktop app's rows, short words matched
a dozen descriptions, and the app's Notifications, Privacy and Backup
pages talked about websites, browsers and Safari.
- Search indexes the app's rows when its bridge is there (tray, start at
sign-in, menu bar, quiet hours, taskbar, default mail app, updates,
developer tools, usage info, crash reports) with translated synonyms,
and the browser-only push rows only in a browser. New synonyms for
threads, block images, dark mode, timezone, reading pane, week start,
empty trash and quiet hours. A single word of up to five letters looks
only in names and synonyms, so "about" finds About.
- In the app, Notifications has no push relay section; one row says the
app tells about new mail while it runs, with a link to General. Its
taskbar and quiet hours section is "On this computer". Privacy has no
relay link there, Backup says "other devices".
- In a browser that can't push, two sentences, and the home screen hint
only on iPhone and iPad.
- Several accounts get one notification switch each instead of a
checklist with "Enable for selected" and "Disable for selected".
- Developer tools show only with advanced settings on.
- "Two-step sign-in" heads its section, "Pictures from company websites"
replaces "Sender favicons", the Privacy relay link no longer points to
a hidden choice, Offline warns about disk encryption once, and the
reset confirm says what stays and whether other devices change. A
reset keeps the choice to sync settings.
Changed assertions: account-security-signin looks for the heading by its
new name, settings-search expects the renamed rows, multi-account-push
tests the switches that replace the checklist.
An upload over a name that is taken in the target folder used to add
"name (1)" without a word. Every upload path (picker, drag and drop, the
drop overlay, folder upload) now asks per name, with "Do this for all n
conflicts" when there are several:
- Replace gives the existing node the new blob, so it keeps its id,
shares and links; for a folder it merges into the existing one and
replaces files of the same name.
- Keep both numbers the new one, as before.
- Skip leaves it out; Cancel stops the whole upload.
Also in Files:
- A file with no preview and no office editor opens a pane with its
icon, size and Download instead of downloading at once, and in the
desktop app also Open in default app (the attachment Edit path). The
item menu gets Open for such files, and Open in default app in the
desktop app.
- Enter opens the row Tab put the focus on.
- After sharing with someone new, a toast offers Send a message, which
opens the composer to them with a link to the file.
- The empty folder's buttons read Upload files... and New folder..., as
the menus do.
The settings pass hid each calendar's CalDAV address behind "Use in
other apps"; pim-26 lists the address once per account. The list now
waits behind one "Use in other apps" button, and the wording test
clicks the new Edit… button instead of the old pencil.
Changed assertions: the schedule tests in calendar-invitation.test now
expect Intl's range format ("Tue, Oct 20, 16:00 – 16:25") with the
event's own times after it when its zone's clock differs, instead of
the repeated date and "GMT+2". The banner test's next-intl mock gets
useLocale.
Saving an event wrote it in the user's zone, so a title change moved a
New York meeting to Europe/Berlin. The form now shows and saves the
times on the event's own clock, with a time zone field ("Time zone: New
York", or a "Time zone" link when it is yours), and the popover shows
"10:00–11:00 New York (16:00–17:00 your time)". The form asks for the
date and time right after the title and for the description last.
Participant answers read in plain words ("Not answered yet"), the
untitled preview is translated, and the quick editor grows to fit long
calendar names.
Changed assertions: rsvp-buttons.test expects the plain status key, and
event-modal-organizer.test expects an unchanged save to keep the event's
New York zone instead of rewriting it into the user's.
A window snapped to half the screen (640-800 px) or a 1366x768 laptop
at 150 % (911 px) got the phone and tablet layout: bottom tab bar,
folders in a drawer, Settings as a phone list with a Back arrow. The
layout switched at the 64rem (1024 px) breakpoint.
Now the phone layout starts below 600 px. From 600 to 1024 px the app
is a compact desktop: app rail at the side, folder sidebar folded to
its icons (the existing collapsed state, opened per session with its
toggle), Settings with its two panes and a narrower page list. Below
840 px the split layout opens a message in the list's place, as the
focused layout does. This holds in the browser and the desktop app,
in the Pro shell (which now runs from 600 px) and under Mountain View.
- `hooks/use-media-query.ts`: classifyWidth, PHONE_BELOW 600,
FULL_DESKTOP 1024; the tablet class (`isTablet`) is gone, the store
has `isCompact` instead. Plugins still see "tablet" for it.
- `app/globals.css`: a `desk:` breakpoint at 37.5rem for the layout
classes, and a `tap:` variant for 44px rows on phones and touch
screens below 1024 px (was every window below 1024 px).
- Touch screens below 1024 px keep swiping list rows (was phones only).
- The boot skeletons, boot script, mail app, sidebar, reader, admin
shell and calendar, contacts and files follow the new widths.
Tests changed with the behaviour: the tablet cases in pro-gate,
mail-app-mv-composer-move, mail-app-compose-handoff,
mail-app-thread-expand-mark-read, mobile-tour-end and
thread-list-item-columns now run on a phone or a compact desktop, as
those widths no longer exist as a tablet. mail-app-short-window-tab-bar
is replaced by mail-app-compact-layout: a phone on its side is a
compact desktop with the rail at the side, so the short-window tab bar
rule is gone. Class and media-query assertions follow desk:/tap: and
37.5rem; the 32px-text test uses 1100 px, since 1440 px at 32px is now
a compact desktop.
The tasks view filtered tasks by the grid's calendar selection, which
never holds a task-only list such as "To-do". Those tasks never showed
while the sidebar counted them, and a task moved into To-do vanished on
save. The tasks view now has its own task lists in the sidebar, ticked
by default, and the grid's selection is left alone.
- tasks are on by default; an "off" the user never chose turns on, one
they chose stays
- new tasks go to the first task-only list
- "Add a task…" reads a date at the end of the title (tomorrow, Friday,
12.11.) into the due date and shows it as a chip first
- the task status says "Not started" and "In progress"
filterTasksForList now takes the unticked task lists instead of the
selected calendars, so task-plugin-surfaces passes the unticked list and
task-list-dates no longer passes selectedCalendarIds.
The #1327 store test now serves its optional plugin with defaultOn false:
it checks that every plugin is listed when IndexedDB fails, and a plugin
the admin didn't force is on by default now.
Offline sat in the middle of Backup & reset, privacy settings were spread
over Reading, Composing and Message list, and the version card took room
from the page list in the sidebar's footer. The search matched letters
inside words ("lock" found Time format and Send Checks) and knew no other
words for a setting ("offline", "autoreply", "logout" found nothing).
- Offline is a page in the top group: Keep mail on this device, what is
kept, Remove everything from this device, and the Outbox as its own
section. Old `/settings/backup/offline` links and the offline notice
land there.
- Privacy holds remote images and trusted senders, read receipts, sender
pictures from the web, the desktop app's usage info and crash reports,
and a link to the push relay on Notifications. Reading, Composing and
Message list keep a link row; old links to those sections land on
Privacy.
- About is the last page and holds the version card; the footer keeps the
Advanced switch.
- The search matches whole words and word starts (substrings only in
Chinese, Japanese and Thai), and each row can carry synonyms in the
user's language. A page matches by its name and keywords or when one of
its rows has every word. Account gets a Sign out row so "logout" leads
somewhere.
- The index test now also fails when a page draws a section the index
doesn't know, and a new test fails on two indexed rows with the same
name. Tests that rendered remote content and sender pictures on Reading
and Message list render Privacy instead, since that's where the rows are.
The usability pass of 2026-11-04 found the General and Notifications
pages hard to read, and the desktop app showing browser-only rows.
- Time zone: a searchable list by city and offset, common zones
first, with today's city names (Kolkata, Kyiv, Ho Chi Minh City).
The stored value stays the IANA id the runtime knows.
- First day of the week: "First day of the week in calendars".
- Desktop app: no browser link handlers (the app has its own "Default
mail app" row), no usage info on General (it moves to Privacy),
time zone and app lock texts without the browser and tabs.
- Taskbar flashing and quiet hours move to Notifications.
- "Windows" is now "App windows".
- Notifications: "Sound for new mail", "Sound for reminders", a
"Sound" section with a "Tone" row, "Notifications when Bulwark is
closed" with "Turn on for this device", a short badge description.
- Link handlers: "Open email links in Bulwark" with "Use Bulwark for
email links", no "Technically" sentence.
- App lock: "The PIN stays on this device.", the protection text
behind "What does this protect?", "1 hour" and "4 hours", one line
in the PIN dialog instead of repeating its title.
- Usage info names "the app's version numbers", as the desktop's
first run does, instead of the Node version.
Test changes: the telemetry wording test looked for "Node version",
which the text no longer names; the search-anchor test now fills in
{appName} before comparing, as the search index does, because row
labels name the app.
