Eviction now goes by the base's signal: `storeLost` and the `store-reset`
notice, with `bulwark-store-opened` as the marker and `prune-files` for files
with no key. The storage page and the lost count hang off that. What a user
picks is stored under `bulwark-offline-scope`, the key `offlineScopeFor`
reads, and `email-snapshot` follows the base's rule. `OfflineEnabled` is read
from the desktop bridge when it's there.
The offline section of Settings > Backup & reset now shows, per account, the
space each part takes, the last sync, a first sync's progress with the time
left, the window and attachment choices, and clearing the account. All
conflicts, calendar and contacts too, are listed there and counted in the
banner.
- the organisation's caps beat the user's choice and the desktop default, and
every path that takes a scope goes through `effectiveScope`
- the desktop app keeps mail without asking, says so once, and stays off for
an account where the user turned it off
- `navigator.storage.persist()` is asked on turning it on, and a refusal
warns with a way to ask again; Safari gets the 7-day hint when not installed
- a store the browser deleted is noticed, says what was lost and syncs again
- a full disk says so, with what to do
- those who had offline mode keep it, with the 30 days they had
- Keep offline in the Files app's menu
Any site could POST a form to the share target on load: with no clicks
the composer opened with its subject and file, and autosave stored a
real draft on the server 2 seconds later. The worker can't see where a
POST came from, and Chromium's link capturing accepts form submissions,
so an installed-app window proves nothing either.
- every share landing now asks first, in every window and browser; a
text landing address gets the same question. Nothing goes up before
the answer.
- handed-in text and files are the composer's starting state: no
autosave, page-close save or sign-out flush before the first real
edit.
- the worker ignores frames, keeps at most 5 entries and 100 MB for 15
minutes, sweeps on activate, on each share and from a page timer,
and seals what it keeps with a key passed in the landing fragment.
Offline wipes clear it too.
- the server fallback uses the fragment and caps by encoded length:
3000 Japanese characters made a 27 KB `Location` and a 431.
- a second compose handoff waits until the composer closes, also one
set aside by reading a message, where it used to replace the first.
- a launch leaving the mail page saves what was just typed first.
- an expired handoff or a missing stored file now says so; shares get
the control-character stripping and limits of `parseMailto`.
Existing tests changed because the landing moved from the query to the
fragment, stored entries gained a sealed part, and a share now asks
first.
The IndexedDB cache, its crypto, the responder and the page-side sync
go. lib/offline keeps its structure, policy, wipes, sign-out gates and
notices; answers, the outbox and sync now live in lib/store, in a worker
behind lib/store/client/api.ts.
What users get besides that:
- every folder is kept, not just the Inbox and opened ones
- delete for good and empty trash work offline
- a change the server refuses, or that meets a message changed on
another device, is shown instead of dropped
- a send whose response got lost is looked up by a Message-ID fixed when
it was queued, then finished, submitted or sent again
- with the store on, a start paints from the local copy, then connects
An account the app drops by itself no longer wipes its data: only a
sign-out or an explicit removal does. The outbox of the old database
moves over once, in lib/offline/migrate-legacy.ts, and the old database
goes only after the store committed. `isNetworkFailure` now counts
timeouts and proxy 5xx. Sends and outbox requests are never answered
from the device.
Tests moved with the code: cache.test.ts and responder.test.ts are
replaced by lib/store/__tests__/, and review-fixes.test.ts, outbox.test.ts
and client-fallback.test.ts now run the real engine on node:sqlite.
Changed assertions: an uncertain send is looked up rather than left alone
forever, destroy and empty trash are queued rather than refused, and #9
(opened folders) became "a folder the server deleted goes", since all
folders are kept.
The review of offline mode found ways to send a message twice, to lose
unsent mail without a word, and to send mail without its signing,
encryption or check plugin. This fixes them and the smaller findings:
- each outbox message is taken for sending in one database transaction
under a Web Lock per account; only a failure before the submission
request (SendNotStartedError from the client) puts it back, any other
one marks it "may have gone out"; read-backs after the submission no
longer fail a send; a send of a closed tab turns uncertain after a minute
- every sign-out the user didn't confirm names the deleted messages on
the sign-in page, or in a toast when another account stays signed in
- nothing is queued while an enabled plugin isn't running (after a start
without the network none can); the composer says why
- the outbox waits for a fresh policy and holds messages the rules have
since made stricter (a required label, a required send check)
- another tab switching offline mode off sticks: only switching it on
may create the database
- only attachments of kept messages are kept, filed with their message,
deleted with it and under the cap between syncs; file names and types
are sealed; folders that went away leave the scope, and a folder that
couldn't be asked keeps its mail without holding the others back
- a group scope that forbids offline mode waits until the account's
groups are known; one server down no longer holds another's mail
- an offline start only when the server is really unreachable, and the
real sign-in follows by itself once it answers
- the service worker files pages and chunks under the build that served
them, and the shell list of another build isn't kept under this one
- a raw send counts as the composer's only from the plugin running its
takeover, for that identity
- errors and refusals are in all languages; the banner tells "offline"
from "server can't be reached"; outbox buttons name their message;
changes and messages go in the order they were made
Settings > Backup & reset gets "Keep mail on this device", off until the
user turns it on in this browser. While it is on:
- the JMAP client hands the server's answers to an encrypted cache in
IndexedDB (AES-GCM, non-extractable key) and answers from it when the
network is gone: the folder list, the last 30 days of the Inbox and of
the folders the user opened, bodies and attachments, at most 250 MB,
oldest out first; a background sync keeps it current
- read, flag, tags and moves made offline are queued and sent in order
when the server answers again; deleting for good and emptying a folder
are refused offline
- the composer, quick reply and the S/MIME and PGP plugins' sends that
complete the composer's go to an outbox once every step up to the
transport ran (checks, label, signature, plugin send checks); only the
finished send waits, with files attached offline
- the service worker keeps this build's app shell, so the app also
starts offline from the kept session and the last policy
- a full sign-out, the idle sign-out and signing one account out delete
it, a sign-out the user starts asks first when mail is unsent, and the
login page names what an automatic sign-out deleted; a policy fetch
that forbids it (devices.noOffline) wipes that account
Not in Lite.
