Adding a mailbox is the whole of this release: accounts you are already signed into on this desktop can be
added with one click, and the Add-account screen was rebuilt around that choice.

Add account

  • Sign in with a desktop account. Feather Mail reads the accounts your desktop already holds (GNOME
    Online Accounts) and lists the ones that carry mail. One click adds the mailbox: the token comes from the
    session account manager, so there is no browser window, no password, and no client secret in the app.
  • The Add-account screen now has three levels. The first asks where the mailbox lives — IMAP or
    Linux. IMAP leads to the familiar presets (Google, Microsoft, Yandex) and the manual form; Linux
    lists the accounts you signed into on this desktop. If there are none, that level explains how to add one
    in Settings instead of showing an empty list. Back returns to the level you came from.
  • Both first-level buttons carry an icon, and their label and hint line up on a single left edge.

Reading mail

  • The message header now names the address the letter actually arrived at instead of saying "to me" — the
    one that matters when All accounts mixes several mailboxes into one list. When a message went to several
    recipients, the header names your own mailbox among them.

Fixes

  • XOAUTH2 sign-in to Gmail failed with "Couldn't reach the server." The IMAP reply to AUTHENTICATE was
    read one line deep, and Gmail answers a successful bind with an untagged * CAPABILITY line before the
    tagged OK. That first line was mistaken for the result. Both the probe made while adding a mailbox and
    every live session shared the bug; they now share one corrected implementation that reads on to the tagged
    line.
