    • Simplify the content in daily archiving report email.
    • spider-import:
      • New argument to explicitly specify IMAP secure connection type: --ssl and --tls.

    • Support parsing email messages forwarded as Microsoft Exchange Journal Report.

      Note: Currently you have to configure Exchange to forward Journal Report to Spider directly, we will improve Spider to support periodly fetching messages from a Journal mailbox for archiving in future release.

    • Removed SQL database /opt/spider/db/participants.db. FTS document contains required info, so this database is not necessary at all.

    • Batch action support on mailbox list page (Settings -> Email Domains -> Mailboxes): Stop Archiving, Start Archiving, Delete (delete mail addresses, not archived messages).

    • Able to import emails in given time range.

      Two arguments are introduced to specify time range, it's ok to use either or both at the same time:

      • --since-time: Import messages since given datetime (in yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS format).
      • --before-time: Import messages before given datetime (in yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS format).

    • Able to exclude IMAP folders while importing with argument --exclude-folder. Multiple folders can be specified with multiple arguments, for example, --exclude-folder AAA --exclude-folder BBB.

  • Fixed issues:

    • Stop Archiving doesn't work if email address contains invalid char. Thanks Victor for the feedback.
    • Not auto vacuum database to reduce size. This issue was introduced in v2.5.1.
    • No notifications on web UI after clicked Reindex All button.
    • Can not view body of email messages in thread. Thanks Marcin Wisniowski for the feedback.
    • Changing the number of results per page triggers error. Thanks Marcin Wisniowski for the feedback.
