  • Reduce the Snap & Windows packages size (these were coming with packaged Hunspell dictionaries).
  • Reduce the maintenance burden by removing the custom spellchecking backend implementation (~700 code lines) and unmaintained "spellchecker" dependency.

New in ElectronMail 5.0.2 (Jul 28, 2022)

  • Fix the unread emails counter values calculation in the Proton Mail UI (#529, 743229c). It turned out that the Proton Drive access fix shipped in the previous release introduced a side effect that was affecting the emails unread counter values calculation. The local store/offline view mode was not affected, as it processes the emails independently and derives the unread counter values from the local database.
  • Enable support for "mac-arm64" app package (#357, edc9616). This should please the Apple Silicon/M1-based devices owners, as with this app package you get more juice from the same hardware. Currently, you will need to apply the xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ElectronMail.app command to the package in order to use it (#536).
  • Preserve new lines for the plain text emails in the local store/offline view mode (4e9d916).
  • Update Proton web clients stack (69b6f63).

New in ElectronMail 5.0.1 (Jul 14, 2022)

  • Fix Proton Drive access (#522, 3886691). You will need to re-login in to the account, so a new user session gets open with the required access scope.
  • Upgrade @electron to v19 (#461).
  • Update Proton web clients stack.
