Smart Inbox has tabs. In the Smart Inbox view, the header now shows a tab for each section: Teammates, People, your own sections and Notifications. A tab opens that section’s full list, with the same rows as the Smart Inbox, and the first tab brings you back to the grouped view.
Keep read mail in Smart Inbox. Smart Inbox only listed unread mail, so an email left it as soon as you read it, even if it was still in your inbox. Its filter menu now has an Unread only switch (on by default, set per account). Turn it off and every conversation stays listed until you archive it. Thanks to the user who asked for this one.
Unread counts on your folders. Folders and labels in the sidebar now show how many unread emails they hold, like the people rows, so mail a server rule files away no longer goes unnoticed. A collapsed folder counts the ones inside it, and Sort by unread in the section header puts the busiest first.
Ask AI finds bookings and receipts. A question naming a company (“my Booking.com reservation”) now finds its emails by the address they come from, not only by the sender’s name. Notifications are no longer pushed down in the answers either, since bookings, invoices and tickets are what people ask about most.
[Gmail] Important notifications stay in sight. A notification Gmail files under Primary (your bank, the tax office) now shows in the Priority list instead of folding into the Notifications row, unless one of your rules sorts its sender.
🐛 Fixes & polish
[IMAP] Deleted emails stay deleted. On some servers (mail.ch among them), an email you deleted could never reach the trash and came back later. It moves to the trash now. Servers with a trash named in another language (“Papierkorb”, “Cestino”) had the same problem, and Talanoa recognizes those names again.
Drafts go out from the right account. In the unified inbox, a draft opened from Drafts showed the account on screen as its sender, so a draft prepared in your work mailbox could be sent from your personal one. It now keeps the account it was written in. Thanks to the user who reported this one.
Talanoa no longer gets stuck offline. After a few sleeps on a phone’s hotspot, Talanoa could believe it was offline for hours while the network worked: nothing synced and the refresh button spun forever. It now keeps trying and comes back on its own as soon as a request goes through.
Light mode emails are readable on a dark computer. With your computer in dark mode and Talanoa set to Light, some newsletters showed white text on a white page. And in dark mode, Show in light mode could leave the app’s light text on an email’s white blocks. Both now show the email as its sender designed it.
Archiving in Smart Inbox opens the next Smart Inbox email. After archiving, Talanoa could jump to the email that took its place in the classic list, often one you had already read. It stays in Smart Inbox now. Thanks to the user who reported this one.
Bcc copies to yourself count as Teammates. An email you sent to someone with yourself in Bcc (a copy from your CRM, for example) was missing from Teammates. It shows there now.
No more empty screens on some newsletters. An email containing a rare invisible line break character could leave the screen that should show it empty, like the trash of a Gandi mailbox. It loads now.
