Core mobile feature groups
These are the capabilities users touch most often while reading and managing email from a phone.
Mailbox navigation
The mobile mailbox is built around fast folder switching and a focused list that works well with touch, search, and screen readers.
- Open Inbox plus optional folders such as Starred, Sent, Drafts, Unread, Spam, and Trash.
- Use provider labels when the account exposes custom labels.
- Refresh the current folder or load more results when additional pages are available.
All Inboxes
All Inboxes combines saved accounts into one mobile list so users can triage recent mail without switching accounts repeatedly.
- Each message keeps mailbox identity so users know which account it came from.
- The aggregate view can rebuild from saved per-account caches.
- A saved default mailbox preference controls where the app returns on launch.
Search and cached state
Search narrows the active mailbox or file view while cached snapshots make the app feel quicker and more resilient.
- Mailbox folders, message details, settings, and drafts are persisted locally.
- Live refresh failures can fall back to cached data with status feedback.
- Server search can be used when the active session supports it.
Message actions
Opening a message gives users the normal email actions expected from a daily mail client.
- Read message details, recipients, date, body, and attachments.
- Reply, forward, star, archive, delete, mark read, and mark unread where supported by the session.
- Prefer plain text when HTML mail is too noisy for assistive technology.
All Files and attachment handling
All Files turns attachments from hidden message children into a mobile-first browsing surface.
- Sort attachments by date, name, size, type, or correspondent.
- Filter sent and received files and search attachment metadata or message context.
- Download attachments through sidecar-backed and direct Gmail paths.
Attachment Insight
When the account and plan support it, mobile can ask BlindBox services to analyze supported attachments.
- Supported images and PDFs can expose summaries and transcripts.
- Billing status and quota feedback are shown when available through the BlindBox account API.
- Cached analysis avoids making repeat opens feel like fresh work.
Compose and drafts
The composer supports everyday sending from the phone while protecting unfinished work.
- Start a new message, reply, or forward with recipients and subject helpers.
- Recipient suggestions expand into a large lower-half contact list so users can drag a finger down through matches and choose one without precise tapping.
- Attach files where the platform and session support it.
- Draft content is saved locally so closing the composer or restarting the app is less likely to lose work.
Settings, billing, and support
Mobile settings collect account management, accessibility, appearance, billing, storage, calendar, and support controls in one reachable place.
- Review BlindBox account status and subscription options.
- Manage connected inboxes, default mailbox behavior, and mobile sidebar folder visibility.
- Clear storage or contact support when sync or account state needs attention.
What each settings area is for
Mobile settings group app-wide controls by job: account and services, visual appearance, accessibility, billing, storage, and general support information.
Account
Account settings cover BlindBox identity, connected inboxes, mailbox defaults, calendar destinations, support contact, and sign-out behavior.
Appearance
Appearance settings shape theme mode and per-theme color choices for light, dark, light high contrast, and dark high contrast schemes.
Accessibility
Accessibility settings control Blind Sight, readable typography, text spacing, font size, reading width, motion, audio reading, tactile feedback, and touch target comfort.
Billing
Billing displays plan state, subscription tiers, donation options, and the Insight quota information available for the current BlindBox account.
Storage
Storage tools help recover from stale local state by clearing cached mailbox data, saved details, or other persisted mobile data when troubleshooting requires it.
About
About and support information give users a predictable place to confirm service endpoints, understand the app, and reach the BlindBox team.
