Limits

  • The composer can save into Drafts, and each save replaces the copy before it rather than adding another. Editing a saved draft is not supported yet — opening one from the Drafts folder shows it like any other message.
  • Attachments must be downloaded rather than previewed in place.
  • Search covers sender and subject, not message bodies.
  • Webmail has no public or mobile API surface in this version.
