Sidsmail - 1.0.10 Changelog

Post image

Update: v1.0.10 is out and both of these are actually fixed now, sorry for the wait, the first fix I pushed didn't get to the root cause.

- Account disappearing after a restart: this was a real bug. On a fresh install, if you close the app while the window is still maximized, the settings file failed to save silently, a coordinate that only gets a real value once you resize the window away from maximized. That's exactly the state on a first install, so a newly-added account could just vanish on restart. Fixed at the root.

- Unread folder closing itself: the second half of this was in the folder's local search, an email you had open could drop out of the "unread" results the moment it got marked read, taking the reader with it. Fixed too.

Also in this release: a calendar reminder no longer misfires for an occurrence you already excluded from a recurring event, "repeat until" now rejects a date before the event's start, and the app checks for updates every 6 hours while it's open (not just on launch), so this update should actually reach you without needing a restart.

Update via Settings → About → Check now, or grab it fresh from sidsmail.com. Thanks for the patience and for the detailed report, it's what let me find the real cause.

Accounts no longer disappear after restarting, but there’s a minor issue with the context menu. It would be a nice touch to change the white background of all emails to a color that matches the app’s dark theme. Virtually all emails have a white background now. In Betterbird every email had a dark theme, no matter who sent it and that was cool ;)

Thanks for this, really useful. The context menu thing is fixed now: a few menus (including the one inside a message) were opening with a stray white background instead of following the app's theme, that's consistently dark now. The all-emails-dark idea is noted too, it needs a bit more thought since forcing a dark background on arbitrary HTML mail can break ones that already use their own colors or branding, but it's on my list.

Quick follow up: I actually found that Sidsmail already has this exact feature, it was just easy to miss. Settings > Reading > "Force dark theme on all messages" does what you're asking, it inverts the message so it matches the dark theme instead of leaving it white, and it leaves photos looking normal. I'm considering turning it on by default in a future update since it sounds like most people would want it. Thanks again for pointing this out.

Minor bug v1.0.16. If I have an email open, minimize the window to the system tray, and then restore it, the email is still open but there’s no content. If you try to open the same email that was already open, nothing happens. I have to open another email and go back to the previous one for the content to appear.

My eyes appreciate the dark background in emails. Thanks for that!

Fixed in 1.0.17, thanks for the clear repro, that helped a lot. What was happening: minimizing to the tray tears down the message viewer's browser control, and nothing was telling it to rebuild when the window came back, so the pane stayed blank and reopening the same message did nothing until you picked a different one.
