New Features

Improved AI language model: All AI features are now up to 10x faster.

It is now possible to have the AI automatically generate the subject based on the draft email.

Redesigned AI controls in draft to make using AI easier and more intuitive.

Added the BIMI standard to our email infrastructure: Profile pictures are now displayed for senders who have BIMI enabled.

Executable file types can no longer be sent or received.

Search history is now synchronized across devices.

Added the user avatar (which opens the account menu) to the top bar on mobile devices for faster switching between accounts.

Added a system for recovering an account even if the password is forgotten (requests must be approved by a black.com representative; old data cannot be recovered due to zero-access encryption).

Made the search auto-complete window more powerful by adding a filter for unread and sent emails.

Implemented various workarounds to accept slightly incorrectly formatted emails.

Added a countdown to the scheduled send dialogue to better indicate when the email will be sent.

Prepared an asynchronous script loading system to massively improve performance when opening the app/page.
