TideMail v1.5.0

TideMail v1.5.0

TideMail is a keyboard-first terminal email client with multi-account mail, a unified inbox, drafts, contacts, search, bulk actions, and optional AI tools.

Fixed

• Changing or clearing an address after server discovery now clears its inferred
  settings, so another address can be looked up in the same account form.
• Attachment headings and rows now paint the reading pane background, including
  on signed and encrypted messages.
• The account form's Signature box no longer shows the terminal's own background through
  the field, whether empty, typed in, or focused; its cursor now uses the accent colour like
  the other rows.
• The grammar check preview no longer runs off the bottom of the screen on a long email: it fits the
  terminal, keeps the accept/cancel hints in view, and scrolls with the arrow keys, PgUp/PgDn,
  and Home/End.

Added

• Adding a Custom account can now look up its servers from the email address. The
  address is now the first row of the account form (Email, or Email / login on
  Custom) and new and edited accounts start there. Leaving it with an address (or pressing
  Ctrl+L) looks the domain up: RFC 6186 SRV records first, then MX records that show the
  domain is hosted by Google, Microsoft 365, iCloud or Yahoo (which switch the form to that
  provider), then the Mozilla autoconfig file the domain itself publishes over HTTPS, as
  cPanel hosts do. Only the user's own domain is asked; Thunderbird's shared database is
  not. Results only pre-fill the form; nothing connects or saves until you test or save.

• Plugins now receive the sender-check results the mail server recorded (SPF, DKIM and DMARC as
  pass/fail values, plus the server's spam flag) as an auth field in the message metadata, never the
  headers themselves. A new suspicious tag category (a warning color) is available to plugins.

• Browse and install plugins from inside TideMail. In Settings → Plugins (or the
  command palette's Browse available plugins…), press b to see the official plugins from
  the plugins repository; i installs, u updates, x removes. TideMail asks first and lists
  the plugin's permissions, downloads only from GitHub over HTTPS, checks the release's
  SHA-256, unpacks plain files only, and never runs the plugin while installing. The plugin
  list updates without a restart. The list is fetched only when you open it.

• PGP through a plugin. Plugins can now be granted two new permissions,
  message_raw (decrypt and verify mail you open) and message_compose (sign and
  encrypt mail you send), with matching message.decode and message.prepare
  methods in Plugin API v1. Press D on a PGP message to decrypt and verify it;
  the result is shown in the reading pane and kept in memory only. In compose,
  Alt+S signs and Alt+E encrypts (PGP/MIME; F8/F9 also work where the terminal passes them on); the plugin runs before the message is
  queued, so the Outbox and the Sent copy hold the protected message, and any
  failure (no key for a recipient, cancelled passphrase) sends nothing. The
  pgp plugin in the plugins repository uses your own
  GnuPG keyring. Plugins also inherit GNUPGHOME, DISPLAY, WAYLAND_DISPLAY
  and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR now. An encrypted message says so in the reading pane (instead of
  "No message body.") and the key hints offer D decrypt while it is selected. The subject and
  headers of encrypted mail are not encrypted, tidemail send does not sign or encrypt, and attachments inside
  encrypted mail are not shown yet.

• Settings → Editor → Spell check in compose (off by default): misspelled words are underlined
  in the message body as you type, and F7 steps through them with suggestions, skip, ignore, and
  add-to-dictionary. It is English-only, works offline with no AI provider, and never checks quoted
  or forwarded text. Your added words are saved in TideMail's database. The word you are typing is
  not underlined until you move on, names and domains of people you correspond with are accepted,
  and suggestions rank swapped letters, doubled letters, sound-alikes and everyday words first.
  Settings → Editor → Personal dictionary lists the words you added and lets you add or remove them.

• Experimental Windows builds (x86_64 and ARM64) are now attached to each release as zip files.
  In-app updates and keychain storage are not available on Windows yet; passwords are stored in
  the config file.
