QuickMail v0.8.65 Release Notes
Added
Go to Startup Folder
After moving to another folder, press Ctrl+Shift+I, or choose View → Go to Startup Folder,
to go straight back to the folder QuickMail opens in. It works like Go to Inbox in other mail
programs, where your inbox is whatever you chose as your startup folder: one account's Inbox,
All Inboxes, or All Mail if you have not chosen one. Focus moves to the message list.
Fixed
- NVDA can speak each word as you type it. With NVDA's typed-word echo on, typing in the
message body or any other QuickMail text field says nothing at each space, then speaks every word
run together at the next punctuation mark ("hellothisisatest"). Turn on Settings → Advanced →
NVDA Typing Fix to have the space bar reach NVDA as a typed character, the way it does in other
Windows programs, so each word is spoken as you finish it. It is off by default: with it on,
typed-character echo may no longer speak the space bar. (#300) - Focus no longer jumps back to the message list after you have moved on. Going to All Mail,
another combined folder such as All Inboxes, or a saved view with Enter in the folder tree or Go
to Folder puts you in its message list as soon as the messages already on this computer appear.
QuickMail then goes on checking every account's server, and when that finished it moved focus to
the list again, pulling you back if you had gone to another pane, opened a message or returned to
the folder tree in the meantime. It now leaves you where you are. - Enter on the folder that is already open in the folder tree moves you into its message list
straight away. For All Mail and the other combined folders it used to wait for every account's
server first.
Reporting Issues
Found a problem or have a suggestion? There are three ways to reach us — pick the one that fits:
- Report a Bug → Send (Help menu, inside QuickMail). Files the report for you anonymously — it includes no email address or other identifying information, so there is no way to follow up with you. Best when you don't want any follow-up.
- Report a Bug → Copy report and open GitHub (Help menu). Opens a pre-filled issue that you submit under your own GitHub account, so your GitHub contact information is attached. Best when you have a GitHub account and want automatic filing plus direct contact.
- Email support@theideaplace.net. Best when you don't mind sending email and want a personal follow-up.
Full details, including exactly what a report contains (and what it never contains), are in the Reporting Issues section of the User Guide.
Download
There are four downloads. Take a regular one unless you know your PC has an ARM processor — to check, open Settings → System → About and read System type.
| Download | When to use |
|---|---|
| QuickMail-0.8.65-win.msi — Windows installer | Recommended for most users. A standard setup wizard with license agreement; installs per-user with no elevation required, adds the WebView2 Runtime if missing, and enables automatic updates. |
| QuickMail-0.8.65-win-arm64.msi — Windows installer, ARM | The same installer for PCs with an ARM processor, such as the Snapdragon X models of Surface Laptop and Surface Pro. |
| QuickMail.exe — standalone portable executable | No installation required. Copy it anywhere and run. |
| QuickMail-arm64.exe — standalone portable executable, ARM | The portable version for PCs with an ARM processor. |
The regular downloads run on every supported PC, ARM ones included — just not as quickly there. The ARM downloads will not start at all on a non-ARM PC, so if you are unsure, the regular one is the safe guess.
All downloads include the .NET 10 runtime — you do not need to install .NET separately.
