Yesterday I released the long overdue CiderWebmail 1.01. In addition to the usual bugfixes it brings a couple of nice features:
Incremental message loading is now finished and active. It's a step on the way to on demand message loading and already a very nice improvement in handling folders with a couple of thousand messages. It will display something as soon as the first few hundred message headers are loaded and loading the rest in the background. If you sort your mails by date with newest on top (just click on the "Date" column header), this should give you the most interesting messages immediately.
The message state (new/read/replied/forwarded) is now displayed using different icons.
We now have keyboard shortcuts for navigating through the message list:
- Cursor left goes to the previous message.
- Cursor right goes to the next message
- 'm' moves the message to a different folder (selector is displayed)
Forwarded messages as attachments (like CiderWebmail does it) can be used directly now. One can reply to or forward the attached message
We now render ICal attachments (like meeting invitations)
And last but not least, we switched to using form based login, instead of relying on HTTP basic auth. This makes logout completely reliable on all browsers and allows nice customization of the login screen, maybe with explanations on how to recover lost passwords.
