- 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/).
In the unified view each row can be shaded with its account colour
instead of carrying an account dot, behind a layout setting. Tags keep
their own generated hue on their chips.
Docker/Playwright regression for the cross-account id-namespacing fix: log in
two accounts, enable the Pro shell, deselect a calendar, switch the active
account, and assert the deselection survives (it reset before the fix because
the previously-active account's ids flipped raw<->namespaced on the switch).
Adds the minimal test hooks: data-testid on calendar sidebar rows
(calendar-item + data-calendar-name/-visible), the settings tab buttons
(settings-tab-<id>), and a testId passthrough on ToggleSwitch used for the Pro
interface toggle. New app helpers: openCalendar (in-app nav, since a hard goto
to a deep link bounces to login), calendarRows, enableProInterface (toggles via
the settings UI - the app doesn't survive a hard reload and seeding proInterface
before login destabilises the add-account popover).
Verified green in the dockerized Stalwart harness.
Drop the `accounts.length > 1 || hasGroupInboxes` gate that hid the
Unified Mailbox toggle for single-account users with no visible shared
folder. The admin `isSettingHidden('enableUnifiedMailbox')` policy gate
is preserved, so admins can still hide it.
Feat/unified mailbox account scope
Rework the sidebar "All accounts" into an account-bounded "Unified Mailbox"
by default, with cross-account merging as an opt-in (admin-gated) sub-option.
The standalone per-account "All Mail" virtual folder is folded into the unified
All mail / Unread / Starred entries.
Conflict resolution notes:
- stores/settings-store.ts: both main and this branch independently added a
per-account default-identity (#507) migration at different versions (main v6,
branch v7). Merged migration is version 7 using the refactored migrateSettings
function; the unified-mailbox rework is guarded at `version < 7` so users who
stopped at main's interim v6 identity bump still receive it, while the #507
identity-map coercion stays at `version < 6` so their populated map is kept.
- stores/auth-store.ts: kept main's applyPreferredIdentity (superset with the
pre-#507 legacy migration).
- stores/email-store.ts: removed the ALL_MAIL_MAILBOX_ID paths (folded into the
unified views) while preserving main's plugin hooks (onSearchResults /
onEmailsFetched); adopted advancedSearchCrossViewEmails for advanced cross-view
search.
- components/settings/layout-settings.tsx: kept main's faviconUnreadBadge setting
alongside the new unifiedCrossAccount toggle.
- integration/: union-merged the two independently-authored suites - branch suite
is authoritative (matches new behavior) with main's shared-identity (#569) group
infrastructure preserved.
- components/email/email-composer.tsx: dropped a duplicate data-testid attribute
introduced by the auto-merge.
Closes#560.
Composes the active inbox's unread count over the base favicon as an SVG
badge, served as a percent-encoded data: URL, so new mail is visible on a
tab that is not focused — including when the browser collapses tabs to
icon-only, where a title-based count disappears entirely.
The base icon is read from the rendered <link rel="icon"> rather than from
config, so admin and per-domain branding overrides are inherited for free:
the count is drawn on whatever logo the deployment actually serves. Keeping
the badge in SVG rather than rasterising to a canvas also means the browser
can rasterise it at whatever size it asks for, so a HiDPI tab is not served a
16px bitmap.
Notes on the approach:
- The badge link is an *additional* icon link that we append and mark as
ours; we never remove or mutate a link we did not create. Next's metadata
icons are rendered by React, which keeps a fiber pointing at that DOM node,
so removing it would leave React holding a detached node and throw
"Cannot read properties of null (reading 'removeChild')" on the next
commit that deletes the fiber. Appending instead means the last-declared
icon wins, and non-SVG fallback links survive with their type/sizes intact.
(The usual recipe for this feature — assign canvas.toDataURL() to the
existing link's href — does both of the things that break here.)
- Every change of state is an *insertion* of a fresh link of ours, never a
mutation or a removal, because that is the only signal a browser reliably
re-reads the favicon on. Firefox ignores an in-place href change, and it
equally ignores a removal — so clearing the badge by deleting our link left
a stale count painted on the tab until a hard reload. Clearing it instead
inserts a new link of ours carrying the original base href.
- Holding last place has to be defended: on a client-side navigation React
re-hoists its metadata icon link into <head>, landing after ours, and the
base icon silently wins again. A MutationObserver on <head> moves our own
link back to the end whenever a foreign icon link appears — moving only our
node, never anyone else's. It no-ops once ours is last again, so a move
cannot feed itself.
- The badge is a full-width band across the foot of the icon, drawn to the
metrics measured from Gmail's own 16px favicon: band height 0.625 of the
icon, digit cap height 0.44, flush to the edges, corners rounded by about a
pixel. Full width is what keeps a three-glyph label legible — rounded ends
waste exactly the horizontal space it needs. Neutral white with black digits
rather than the conventional red: faviconUrl is admin-overridable and
Bulwark's own icon is rgb(219,45,84), so a red badge sat red-on-red.
- The base SVG may be admin-uploaded, and the branding route deliberately
serves it under a sandboxing CSP because SVG can carry script. Re-emitting
it as a same-origin data: URL would un-fence that, so script, foreignObject
and every on* handler are stripped before serialising.
- Mounted in the root layout, not on the mail route: the badge belongs to the
tab, so mounting it on the page would clear it on every hop to settings,
calendar or contacts.
Rework the sidebar "All accounts" section into a "Unified Mailbox" that, by
default, stays within the active login account and its shared/group folders.
Merging across multiple logged-in accounts becomes an opt-in sub-option instead
of the default, and the standalone per-account "All Mail" virtual folder is
folded into the unified All mail / Unread / Starred entries (its folder selection
now narrows those lists).
Scope:
- lib/unified-mailbox.ts: UnifiedAccountClient.crossIncludedMailboxIds; the cross
views honor the per-account folder selection (union across accounts = the sum
of each account's selection), falling back to inbox+custom when unset.
- stores/email-store.ts: buildUnifiedAccountClients gains scopeToClientAccountId
(the account boundary) and populates crossIncludedMailboxIds from
allMailFolderIds; remove the standalone __all_mail__ fetch/search/load-more
branches.
- page.tsx: scope to the active account unless cross-account is active (per-user
opt-in AND admin gate); the per-role unified mailboxes obey the same scope.
Folding:
- Drop ALL_MAIL_MAILBOX_ID (lib/jmap/types.ts); thread-list source-folder column
now keys on isUnifiedView only; settings folder picker moves under the unified
group and shows once any unified entry is enabled.
Config:
- User: new unifiedCrossAccount (default false); includeGroupInUnified default
flips to true; enableAllMailView retired; the three cross-view toggles now gate
the unified Unread/Starred/All mail entries.
- Admin: new unifiedCrossAccountEnabled gate, default FALSE (cross-account is an
admin opt-in; when off the per-user toggle is hidden and the scope is forced
account-bounded at runtime). allMailViewEnabled deprecated and normalized
forward into crossAllViewEnabled on policy load; cross-view gate labels reworded
to "Unified Mailbox: ...".
Header: the sidebar section shows "All accounts" when cross-account is active
(opt-in AND admin gate AND >1 connected account), else "Unified Mailbox".
Migration:
- Settings persist v5 -> v6 (exported migrateSettings) - cross-active users keep
cross-account; All-Mail-only users get the account-bounded unified All mail
entry with folder ids preserved; includeGroupInUnified enabled for every
migrated config; fresh installs are account-bounded.
- Admin policy: one-shot, marker-guarded migratePolicyUnifiedMailbox (run before
configManager.load) enables unifiedCrossAccountEnabled when a cross view was
active, so existing cross-account installs keep the behaviour despite the
default-false gate. Skipped on read-only config dirs.
Locales: sidebar all_accounts (original label) + unified_mailbox (translated, per
locale) keys; dead standalone all_mail strings removed across all 20 locales.
Docs: FEATURES.md updated to the account-bounded model, the cross-account gate,
and the folder-narrowed aggregate entries.
Verification: tsc clean, eslint clean, full vitest suite green (incl. translations
completeness, cross-view/migration coverage, and the admin policy migration test).
Message-list rows are tinted with the first tag's color, which becomes
overwhelming when a label applies to most messages (for example
per-account labels). Add a `tintListRowsByTag` setting (default true, so
current behavior is unchanged) with a toggle in Settings beside
"Colorful Sidebar Icons". When off, rows are not tinted; tag dots and
chips still show the color. Gated in both list renderers
(email-list-item and thread-list-item).
Replaces the global allMailFolderIds (string[] | null) with a per-account
Record<accountId, string[]>, so each account chooses which of its own folders
the "All Mail" view merges. A missing entry = "not configured" (defaults to
every no-role folder); an explicit [] = "no folders".
- settings-store: type/default -> Record (default {}); persist version 4 -> 5,
migration drops the legacy global list (the active account isn't known at
migrate time); onRehydrate + importSettings coerce/ignore any non-record
(legacy global string[] | null) shape. isPlainRecord() guard.
- email-store.resolveAllMailJmapIds: reads the entry for the account the view is
scoped to (viewingAccountId ?? activeAccountId); undefined -> all no-role,
[] -> none.
- layout-settings: read/write the active account's entry; when more than one
account is logged in, an italic hint names the account the selection applies
to (settings.appearance.all_mail.account_hint, 19 locales; de/ro translated).
- Test: stores/__tests__/settings-store-all-mail.test.ts (per-account
independence, explicit-empty vs not-configured, importSettings legacy guard).
Add cross-account aggregate mail views and make group/shared (delegated)
accounts first-class in every aggregate view. (The unified mailbox, the "All
Mail" view, and "include group inboxes" already exist on main; this branch adds
the cross-account views and the shared-account correctness work.)
New views (admin-gated + per-user toggle, nested under Unified Mailbox):
- Cross-account "All accounts": All unread / All starred / All mail across every
connected account, including shared/group folders. Each list labels the source
folder of every message.
Source reference on aggregated emails (the core of the shared-account work):
- Replace the overloaded `accountId` with two explicit, always-set fields:
`sourceClientAccountId` (the login the mail is reachable through) and
`sourceAccountId` (the owning JMAP account). `accountId` stays display-only.
- Resolution is branch-free everywhere: pick the client by sourceClientAccountId,
pass sourceAccountId as the JMAP accountId (no-op for personal), read the
owner's mailbox list cached by JMAP id. No capability scan.
Shared/group-account correctness across all aggregate views:
- Route open (click + auto-fetch), thread/conversation open + reply-refresh,
mark read, star, move, delete (account-scoped trash), archive (owner-routed
createMailbox / fetchAccountMailboxes), and spam + undo via the source ref.
- Add accountId params to toggleStar / batchMarkAsRead / batchDeleteEmails /
createMailbox where missing.
- Fix local unread/total counter math for shared folders via emailInMailbox()
(matches namespaced shared ids and bare own ids).
- Keep the unified/cross virtual selection on background mailbox refresh (no
jump back to inbox after deleting in All Drafts/Junk).
Junk UX:
- In "All Junk" the spam action becomes "not spam" in the viewer, context menu,
and list hover icons; undo routes shared mail back to its own inbox.
Admin:
- Policy gates crossUnread/Starred/AllViewEnabled, each noting the matching
per-user toggle (allMailViewEnabled clarified too).
i18n / docs / tests:
- locales (19): cross-view labels + descriptions and hover not_spam, translated
in all shipped languages.
- FEATURES.md + README.md document the new views and group-account support.
- Tests for shared-account routing (single + batch + undoSpam), decoration, and
unified-selection preservation.
