Bulwark currently sends Email/set create without a messageId property,
leaving Message-ID generation to the JMAP server. Servers typically fall
back to their OS hostname for this (Stalwart, via mail-builder's
`gethostname()`), which produces IDs like:
```
<175234...abc@ip-10-0-12-97.ec2.internal>
```
This is bad for every deployment, in three escalating ways:
1. Information disclosure: the Message-ID travels in every outgoing
message and permanently into archives, quoting, and In-Reply-To /
References of replies. An internal hostname (container name, private
DNS, k8s pod name) is infrastructure detail no recipient should see.
2. Deliverability: spam filters score Message-IDs whose domain part is
not a plausible FQDN or is unrelated to the sender (SpamAssassin
MSGID_FROM_MTA_HEADER and friends). Internal names like
*.ec2.internal or bare container ids read as botnet-ish.
3. Correctness of intent: RFC 5322 §3.6.4 recommends the originator
generate the Message-ID, using a domain it controls, so the id is
meaningful and plausibly unique under that domain's authority. The
sender's own domain is exactly that; the mail server's transient
runtime hostname is exactly not.
Generate the id in `sendEmail()` as `<epoch36>.<uuid>@<sender-domain>`,
taken from the From address (falling back to the login username). The
timestamp prefix keeps ids roughly sortable and adds entropy across
UUID reuse concerns; crypto.randomUUID() is available in every runtime
Bulwark supports (browsers and Node 19+). Per RFC 8621 §4.1.2.3 the
JMAP messageId property carries bare msg-ids (no angle brackets), so
none are added.
Clients that never set messageId also can't thread their own sent mail
reliably until the server echoes the message back; setting it at create
time makes the id known and stable from the start.
No behavior change for servers that honored client-provided ids all
along; servers that previously synthesized an id now simply don't need
to.
Fixes#588.
Sign-out already cleared the token-refresh timers and stopped the
keep-alive interval - the reported endless loops came from async
callbacks that were in flight at that moment. The token refresh's
failure handler re-armed its retry after logout, and a failing
keep-alive ping called reconnect() -> connect(), which restarts the
keep-alive and thereby revived the interval disconnect() had just
stopped. Only closing the tab ended it.
Two mechanisms fix that class: transiently failed token refreshes only
re-arm while the account is still signed in (checked when the failure
lands, not when the request started), and the client carries an
intentionallyDisconnected flag set by disconnect() - the ping callback,
reconnect(), the SSE reconnect scheduling and the polling fallback all
stop at it, so nothing revives after an intentional sign-out.
Failed retries also back off instead of hammering a down server every
30 seconds: the token refresh climbs 30s/1m/2m/5m (capped, reset on
success), and the keep-alive skips upcoming ticks on consecutive
failures for the same effective ladder. Recovery after an outage is
unchanged in substance - the session survives and reconnects within at
most ~5 minutes, immediately on user activity.
Outlook-Web-style pinning: a context-menu Pin/Unpin action stores a
$pinned keyword on the message (plain IMAP-compatible flag, survives
other clients), and pinned mails stay at the top of the folder list
regardless of age, marked with a pin icon.
Ordering is done server-side via the hasKeyword sort comparator
(RFC 8621), applied consistently to the folder fetch, pagination and
the push-refresh so page windows stay stable. The client-side safety
sort in getEmails mirrors it, and sortThreadGroups keeps threads
containing a pinned mail on top so the client-side thread grouping
does not undo the order.
The new-mail notification in refreshCurrentMailbox now checks the
first non-pinned entry: with pinned mails on top, the newest mail is
no longer at index 0 and arrivals would never have notified.
The toggle reuses the color-tag pathway (routed keyword write for
unified views, in-place local patch), then refetches the first page
so the mail floats or sinks immediately. Search and unified views
keep their existing order.
Pin/Unpin strings are added to all 21 locales.
Compose recipient fields only suggested existing contacts and directory
users, so people you had emailed before but never saved as a contact
never came up. This adds an Outlook-Web-style suggestion flow.
On startup the Sent folder is read once (metadata only) to build a cache
of addresses you have written to; those are merged into the autocomplete
after contacts and directory principals, deduped, contacts winning.
When the recipient is not in the cache, the dropdown offers a "search the
server" row that queries the Sent folder on demand. That lookup fetches
only the to/cc fields (no subject, body or attachments) and returns the
matching addresses, deduped.
New strings are added to all 20 locales.
Tags applied to a shared/group-mailbox message did not persist. Custom
keywords (:*), and were written via Email/set
against the reaching client's primary account instead of the email's
owning account, so the server returned notUpdated without an error and
the change was lost on the next reload.
toggleStar already threaded an accountId through (#281); the keyword
methods did not. Add an optional accountId to updateEmailKeywords and
setKeyword and resolve it at the call sites from the email's source
account (sourceClientAccountId / sourceAccountId), matching the existing
delete/archive routing. Personal sources resolve to the account itself,
so behavior there is unchanged.
Example of headers created by Stalwart below
X-Spam-Result: TRUSTED_DOMAIN (-7.00),
PROB_HAM_LOW (-2.00),
RBL_SENDERSCORE_REPUT_9 (-1.00),
DMARC_POLICY_ALLOW (-0.50),
RCVD_DKIM_ARC_DNSWL_MED (-0.50)
X-Spam-Score: ham, score=-5.60, avg_confidence=0.26
X-Spam-Status: No
Only need to add small tweak by detecting spam|ham as well as Yes|No
The most useful header is X-Spam-Score, so we make sure to parse that
before X-Spam-Status
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.
Fixes failures across the suite that fail on main independently of any branch.
Documented + skipped
- smime/smime-crypto: this suite OOMs its worker (~4 GB heap) generating and
using real 2048-bit RSA keys via pkijs/asn1js — a pre-existing memory issue,
not a logical failure. Skipped behind a single SKIP_SMIME_CRYPTO_OOM flag with
an in-file explanation and re-enable instructions, and the beforeAll bails
early so the skipped file runs in ~2s instead of crashing the worker.
Code fixes
- jmap/client: getSubmissionAccountId honoured the requested (mail) account
even when it lacks the submission capability, so EmailSubmission/set was
addressed to the wrong account when JMAP hosts submission in a separate
account. Prefer an account that actually advertises submission, falling back
to primaryAccounts['…:submission'].
- plugin-sandbox/loader: deactivateAllSandboxed used require('./registry'),
which is unresolvable under the Vite/ESM test runtime. registry only imports
types (no cycle), so use a static import; all() already returns a copy, so
iterating while deregister mutates is safe.
Test fixes (tests trailed intentional code/behaviour changes)
- vitest.setup: add a matchMedia stub (jsdom lacks it) — unblocks 8
email-list-item tests.
- calendar-utils: pin TZ=UTC for the timezone-sensitive bounds/layout assertions
(host runs at UTC+2) and update expected minutes to UTC.
- calendar-participants: buildParticipantMap keys entries by generated UUIDs
(RFC 8984), not 'organizer'/'attendee-N'. Look entries up by identity so the
test no longer depends on a generateUUID mock leaking from another file.
- email-headers: softfail now returns the semantic 'text-warning' token.
- email-list-item: unknown keyword ids intentionally render a gray fallback badge.
- plugin-loader: exposePluginExternals is now a documented no-op.
- plugin-slot: PluginSlot reads the sandbox registry and renders iframe slots;
rewrite the tests against that architecture with a referentially stable snapshot.
- plugin-types: MAX_THEME_SIZE was raised to 2 MB.
Bulwark had no read-receipt support (JMAP/Stalwart have no native MDN).
End-to-end, client-side, in three parts:
- Request (compose): a toolbar toggle (MailCheck, green when on) sets
Disposition-Notification-To on the outgoing message via the JMAP
"header:<name>:asText" create property. Threaded composer -> page ->
email-store -> client.sendEmail. Default from requestReadReceiptDefault.
- Detect (viewer): reads Disposition-Notification-To case-insensitively from
the parsed headers and shows a banner (green Send / red Ignore) in the
unified notification bar. Hidden in Sent/Drafts/Trash/Junk and once handled.
message/disposition-notification + message/delivery-status report parts are
filtered out of the attachment list.
- Respond (MDN): lib/mdn.ts builds an RFC 8098 multipart/report (text/plain +
message/disposition-notification, UTF-8/base64, localized subject + body).
client.sendReadReceipt uploads the blob, imports it into Sent via
Email/import, then submits with an explicit envelope. Both Send and Ignore
set the $MDNSent keyword (RFC 3503) so no client re-prompts. Behaviour
configurable: ask / always / never.
New: lib/mdn.ts, read-receipt-banner.tsx. Settings (requestReadReceiptDefault,
readReceiptResponse) + UI. All 17 locales.
The Files page UI sat at 0% throughout an upload because uploadBlob()
uses fetch(), which does not surface upload progress events. The store
set loaded=0 before the call and loaded=file.size after it, so users
saw the progress bar jump from 0% straight to 100% on completion --
and on slow connections (or large files) it appeared frozen.
Switch uploadBlob() to XHR when the caller passes onProgress or an
AbortSignal, so progress events from xhr.upload.onprogress can drive
the UI. Callers that don't pass either keep the fetch path so we
preserve the existing 401-retry behaviour in authenticatedFetch().
Wire the file store to pass both onProgress (updates uploadProgress
in real time) and the existing AbortController's signal (so cancel
now actually aborts the network request, not just the post-upload
createFileNode step).
uploadBlob() is part of IJMAPClient so the signature change is also
applied to the demo client (synthesises 0% then 100%).
Adds an Override toggle in the composer's From row. When enabled, name
and address become free-text inputs. Mail is still submitted through the
selected identity, but the outgoing message's From: header — and the
SMTP envelope MAIL FROM when different — is set from the override.
The existing "Auto-select Reply Address" setting is extended: if the
incoming message was addressed to an alias on a domain that matches one
of your identities but isn't itself an identity (classic domain catch-
all), it now auto-enables Override and pre-fills the alias. Quick reply
honors the same resolution. The setting is relabeled to reflect the
broader behavior.
JMAP: client.sendEmail gains an optional envelopeMailFrom; when set, the
EmailSubmission includes an explicit envelope with that mailFrom and the
to/cc/bcc as rcptTo so header-From and envelope can diverge (JMAP §7.3).
S/MIME: override is incompatible with sign/encrypt and is refused with a
clear error — signing a different visible From from the identity's
certificate Subject would produce messages clients reject.
Tests: resolveReplyFrom covers exact match, sub-address stripping,
catch-all detection, identity preference, and foreign-domain null.
