Pinned Folders, Auto-Advance & Pause Inbox Reminders
Today we are releasing a new version to TestFlight users. This includes many improvements to the app and several new features!
This version brings us up to date on our feature goals for the launch of the WMail app on the App Store. Please do ensure you report bugs or issues from this release so we can fix them before we release to the App Store.
- NEW Pause Inbox Reminder: You can now optionally set a reminder to check your inbox before the pause window starts.
- NEW Pinned Folders: You can now pin folders in the folder drawer, if you have a lot of folders this can be useful to surface folders towards the top. The Pinned folders section is also unified across accounts and each folder is coloured based on your account colour.
- NEW Auto-Advance: You can now enable auto-advancing so after actioning a conversation it automatically takes you to the next one.
- Block Remote Images: You can now enable images on a specific email when block remote images is enabled. So if you have an email with a QR code you need to see for example you can selectively enable images on a specific email.
- Send Later Improvement: A scheduled email stayed in Fastmail's Scheduled folder after it was sent, showing as sending "ASAP", and never appeared in Sent. WMail now moves it to Sent the next time it syncs. Sending itself is unchanged: Fastmail still sends on time, whether or not WMail is open.
- Readability: We’ve made several changes to text colours across the app to improve readability in light mode and follow WCAG AA contrast standards. We are not following these standards everywhere yet, but more work is planned to continue improving this. We have also started to implement support for iOS's Increase Contrast setting (Settings › Accessibility › Display & Text Size › Increase Contrast).
- Quick Actions: You can now add Templates to the Quick Actions bar when viewing an email thread so you can access Templates, even if you’ve not opened the full compose window.
- Templates: All templates now require ; at the start of the shortcut to avoid conflicts and also flags if you've used a shortcut.
- Snooze Improvement: WMail handles snoozing you do in the app locally and parks the email in a folder (WMail -> Snoozed) if you take an email out of this folder on Fastmail, the next time WMail syncs it will notice the email has been moved and cancel the Snooze.
- Bug Fixes & Tweaks: Several bug fixes and smaller tweaks to improve the app.
