0.4.4 (2/5/16)

We're really excited to announce this release - the largest improvement to N1 since the initial release in October!

• Features:

• Unified Inbox: The conversation view has been rebuilt so you can read and triage mail from all your accounts at once. In addition to the Inbox, we've unified Search, Drafts, Sent, Trash, and more.

• Send and Archive: You can now choose Send and Archive when replying to threads. More "Send variants" are coming soon, including Send Later and Undo Send, and you can choose a default in Preferences.

• Account Sidebar: We've rebuilt the account sidebar to address your feedback:

  • Rename folders and labels by right clicking / double clicking
  • Re-order accounts from Preferences > Accounts
  • See unread counts for all accounts when viewing "All Accounts"
  • Collapse label and folder views

• Send As: You can now choose which account or alias a new draft should be sent from, and choose a default account in Preferences > Sending.

• Launch On System Start: N1 can now launch in the background via an option in Preferences.

• Search: You can now archive / trash items in the search results view.

• Contact autocompletion is now unified, uses dramatically less memory, and does not depend on the selected account

• Outbox: N1 now keeps mail it isn't able to send in your Drafts folder, and sends when you reconnect to the internet.

• Performance:

• The conversation list has been rebuilt using a brand new "live query" API that yields great performance and minimizes costly database queries.
• The conversation list data source no longer requires an accurate item count, removing frequent and expensive count queries.

• Development:

• AccountStore.current() has been deprecated and replaced with the concept of "Mailbox Perspectives" which are views of mail data.
• Developer > Toggle Screenshot Mode now allows you to hide text in the app to take a screenshot.
• window.eval has been disabled in N1. (Issue #1159)

• Fixes:

  • On Mac OS X, N1 no longer crashes when you change language or spellcheck preferences.
  • When viewing all accounts, the tray icon and dock icon also display the unified unread count.
  • You can now make N1 the default mail client on Windows.
  • You can now re-order mail rules and use "starred" as a rule criteria.
  • You can now authenticate IMAP / SMTP accounts where the username is not the email address. (Fixed in the Nylas Sync Engine.)
  • The maximum width of the account list has been increased.
  • And many, many, many other fixes!

• Coming Soon:

  • Our PR has landed in Electron, unblocking Swipe to Archive.

0.3.45 (1/21/16)

• N1 no longer generates errors installing on Ubuntu 14 and 15.
