Mailspring Versions Save

This release fixes several important issues and moves Mailspring to Electron 17.4:

1.10.1 (3/12/2022)

This release fixes a critical issue in 1.10.0 that caused the app to fail to launch for some Windows users. This was caused by upstream changes to our AppVeyor build pipeline that changed the default compilation architecture from ia32 to x64 on Windows.

I'm sorry it took so long to track this down. If you're a Mailspring Pro user and your work was impacted by this update, feel free to email me at [email protected] and I'll credit your account for the quarter as a thank you for choosing Mailspring.

Other Improvements:

• Fixes the "View License" menu item on Windows (Thanks @Phylu!)

• References to "You" in Mailspring now include the label of the relevant account anytime more than one account is present. (Thanks @Phylu!)

This release moves Mailspring from Electron 8 to Electron 14 thanks to the hard work of @Phylu and other community members! 🎉 This brings Wayland support on Linux and many performance and security improvements.

• This will allow Mailspring to ship Universal builds for MacOS ARM machines!

• Mailspring now uses the system spellchecker more directly - on MacOS, the spellcheck language is auto-determined as you type.

• We have temporarily removed the ability to reply directly from notification toasts on MacOS, pending futher support for it in Electron.

Features:

• The Mailspring snapcraft distribution now loads using LZO, which significantly improves launch performance. (Thanks to @kz6fittycent)

• Mailspring now skips "All Mail" when syncing Protonmail accounts which prevents messages from thrashing between folders and consuming significant CPU. (Thanks to @bl00mber and others!)

• Mailspring now defaults to SSL / TLS on port 465 for SMTP, per RFC 8314 (Thanks to @slokhorst)

• We now go back to inbox after "Remove and show next/previous" for last email (Thanks to @nino)

• Snoozing now has a shortcut! h in the Gmail keybindings, Ctrl-H and Cmd-H for other configurations. (Thanks @avelino!)

Fixes:

• Mailbox permalinks continue to work outside of the thread-sharing plugin

• Strange layout bug for trash / spam folders on vertical layout has been fixed

• The "Mark as spam" keyboard shortcut is now configurable from Preferences > Shortcuts

• Launching Mailspring in the background on startup now works correctly on macOS.

Localization:

• German and Czech localizations have been improved and the app has been fully localized into Turkish! (Thanks to @SiderealArt, @emintufan and @Phylu)

Fixes:

• Mailspring no longer closes after you link your first account if the system tray has not been configured.

• Mailspring's connections to its database no longer time out (causing the red account warning) while syncing more than ~4 accounts, thanks to an updated build of SQLite.

Thanks to everyone for reporting these issues and contributing the information we needed to track them down!

Features:

• Mailspring no longer requires a Mailspring ID! You can opt-out in the app's setup flow and connect your email accounts without first creating a Mailspring ID. Doing so disables features that require paid APIs and cloud data storage (send later, read receipts, etc.), but you can opt in and create an account at any time from Preferences > Subscription.

Fixes:

• Resolves a critical SMTP connection problem on Linux for Office365, manually configured Gmail, and other accounts that used the LOGIN SMTP authentication mechanism. #1996, https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-sasl/pull/613

• Plain text messages using a multipart MIME structure with one or more attachments now render correctly as plaintext.

• "Sync Mail Now" is displayed in Preferences > Shortcuts so it's easier to map it to a custom shortcut. #1941

Developer:

• Mailspring now uses CSS properties on mailspring-workspace to set the height of the thread list and other key components so themes can customize them! See #2004 for details and thanks to @sergeystoma for this improvement!

Fixes:
