A persisted account id with no subject yet read as decided: Everyone's
noOffline wiped mail a group scope allowed, and a wider scope went out at
every reload. A public, partial policy counted as the organisation's word,
and turned on the desktop default in a forbidding organisation.
- an organisation's cap on one file now binds a pin
- Clear and the off switch read what would be lost when asked, messages,
changes and drafts, and Clear waits for a connection
- turning one account off survives the last one going off, and off then on
no longer warns of an eviction
- a tab that takes over the store sends no scope until it has heard the policy
- a dropped account is judged by what applies to anyone
- a choice reaches the store once it settles; progress announces phases only
- restored Pro tabs ask for their titles
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
