1.5.0

Features:

• Mailspring now supports localization! The app detects your system locale and all text, menus, buttons, etc. in the app appear in your language. Mailspring's core strings has been manually localized in 38 languages and the rest (mostly error messages and text describing features) have been automatically translated.

  • We'd love your help improving these localizations! A new "Developer > Toggle Localizer Tools" menu option in Mailspring allows you to submit better translations right within the app. You can also edit the translation files directly and submit a pull request. See the new localizer guide here.

  • If you use a RTL language, Mailspring's entire UI now appears right-justified, including the sidebar, preference panels, scrollbars, and more. If you use Mailspring in Arabic or Hebrew and notice issues in the right-to-left presentation, please file issues or submit pull requests.

Fixes:

• The "contact profiles" feature of Mailspring Pro is much more robust and reliable thanks to a new profile discovery mechanism.

• The "contact profile" sidebar shows the Gravatar associated with the email address before falling back to the "empty box with initials".

• Mailspring now uses the latest version of libetpan, which improves stability and fixes several parsing bugs. It also more flexibly parses IMAP responses that include unquoted text fragments. #429

• On Linux, Mailspring now uses the pixmaps dir to show an icon in the corner of each window. #1135

• On Linux, Mailspring uses circular icons rather than square ones. #1098

• The padding of the search bar in the Darkside theme has been fixed. #1048

Developer:

• Trying to open a package that does not define engines in it's package.json no longer crashes the app.

• Mailspring now uses Electron 2.0.11 which resolves #1108.

1.4.2

Fixes:

• Mailspring no longer attempts CRAM-MD5 SMTP auth instead of PLAIN or LOGIN when both are supported.
  CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 require you've exchanged a shared secret with the SMTP server which is almost
  never the case. #620

• Mark as Spam now appears in the right-click dropdown menu for threads.

• The IMAP/SMTP port dropdowns no longer "stick" the first time you change them during setup.

• Mailspring now lets you know if your SMTP server refused to relay a test message during setup.

• Mailspring now correctly supports SMTP accounts that do not require a username or password. #469

• Open and link tracking now work correctly for accounts using Courier IMAP (where sent messages
  do not appear until re-selecting the folder via IMAP.)

Debugging:

• Mailspring now prints descriptive SMTP error strings instead of SMTP error codes in logs.

1.4.1

Fixes:

• Don’t allow shift-U, shift-I, etc. to be menu accelerators that override composer bubbling. This fixes a bug where, with the Gmail shortcuts enabled, typing Shift-U or Shift-I in the composer would mark the message as read.

1.4.0

Mailspring 1.4 adds macOS Touch Bar support and expands the Thread and View menus to include a wider range of functionality previously tied to keybindings but missing from the apps menus.

Mailspring 1.4 also brings a revised welcome screen that separates Office 365 and Outlook and adds presets for Yandex and GMX. The new welcome screens display tips specific to each provider, ensuring that you follow any required steps (like creating an App Password or enabling IMAP.)

Fixes:

• Mailspring now connects to SMTP servers that only support GSSAPI or Kerberos and PLAIN using the PLAIN method rather than trying to use Kerberos and failing. #341

• The "undo send" toast in Mailspring now has a countdown timer, and the undo button has been visually differentiated from the background. #872

• Emails no longer get "stuck" when using undo send in some scenarios. #336

• Undoing a send of an inline reply during the undo-send time window no longer leaves the composer "locked" or re-sends the original draft. #596, #390

• Mailspring no longer throws an exception when parsing quoted text for some emails.

• Removing the last account from Mailspring no longer causes it to return to the "Connect an Account" screen with errors that prevent you from moving forward without restarting the app.

• The print window now warns you if one or more messages were omitted because they were collapsed, and renders properly in the dark theme.

• The default SMTP port for Outlook is now the STARTTLS default and not port 25. #725

1.3.0

Mailspring 1.3 brings an overhauled search bar with powerful autocomplete that makes it easier to create advanced search queries.

• In addition to searching for freeform text and using the Gmail query language (subject:, in:, is:, from:, to:), Mailspring now allows you to search by date using natural language terms like since: "last week" and before: "february 5th". Try combining them with other terms to search a specific time window!

• You can now right-click a thread to search for other threads from that sender or with that subject.

• You can now focus the search bar and conduct searches entirely with keyboard shortcuts (use Escape to exit the search bar!) #960

• Chrome 61, Node 8.9.3, V8 6.1.534.41 with improved performance and lower memory footprints
• Better GTK+ theme support, including support for menu styling
• Better support for Linux desktop notifications

Fixes:

• Using Mailspring on Windows in a user account containing accent characters or other special characters no longer prevents attachments from being cached. #810

• Mailspring no longer throws an exception when trying to display a message with attachments but no downloaded body. #804

• The "hamburger" icon in the top right of the main window no longer appears gray-on-gray in the "Ubuntu" theme. #801

• Auto-hiding of the menu bar now works correctly on Linux. #938

• Clicking on the open/link tracking "detail dot" now shows individual tracking events correctly. #945

• The Print window no longer contains an incorrect menu bar on Windows. #958

• Signatures with Facebook and Twitter profiles now display the service favicons reliably when viewed in Gmail and Outlook. #968

• Invalid themes no longer "brick" the app - Mailspring will present an alert with the error and offer to revert to the basic theme. (Mailspring-Theme-Starter/issues/1)

1.2.2

Fixes:

• Drafts sent with RTL text now appear correctly justified for recipients. #869

• In the Linux Snapcraft release, app indicator compatibility has been improved by coercing XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to Unity (Thanks Martin Wimpress at Canonical!)

1.2.1

Fixes:

• Copy / paste now works correctly in message contents and draft fields, correcting a regression in 1.2.0.

• Right clicking words in the composer now correctly shows spelling suggestions. #747

• Right clicking in the composer now presents a "Paste and Match Style" option. #655

• The left 50px of "To" field of message headers is now clickable.

• Signatures with images now display correctly in mail clients that don't support CSS. To take advantage of this improvement, remove and re-attach images to existing signatures.

• URLs containing the format #/xxxx?a=b are now automatically linked correctly.

• The "learn more" link in the thread sharing modal now links to a public knowledgebase article.

1.2.0

Features:

Fixes:

1.1.5

Fixes:
