Release Notes

✨ New Features & Enhancements

We have refined the IMAP account login logic to give you more flexibility when configuring the authentication username #28 :

• A dedicated Username (name) field is now prioritized and used for IMAP login authentication.
• This field now serves as the primary IMAP login credential and is no longer treated purely as an optional, descriptive field.
• Enhanced Compatibility: This change supports IMAP providers where the required login username is not the full email address (e.g., specific account IDs or employee numbers).
• Default Behavior: If the Username field is left empty, the system will automatically fall back to using your full email address for authentication.

Note that the name field wasn’t used in earlier versions. If your account already had a value set for this field, upgrading directly to this version may cause IMAP authentication to fail. The solution is to edit the account, enter your email address into the name field, and then save.

🐞 Bug Fixes & Stability

• IMAP Compatibility Fix: Resolved a compatibility issue with 163 mail servers by ensuring the IMAP ID command is sent after successful authentication. #25

Full Changelog: 0.1.1...0.1.2
