v0.7.0 - Chip search bar, rule wizard, mailbox export, and polish

This release pulls together several connected pieces of work: the inbox toolbar now has a single chip-based search-and-filter bar, the rule editor on every surface is now a guided three-step wizard that uses the same chip language, mailbox export is now available from billing settings, and a few smaller controls across the web app got a polish pass so the whole product speaks one visual idiom.

Chip-based search and filter bar

The inbox search box and the Advanced filters panel are now one combined bar, with each filter (including plain search text) rendered as an editable chip. The design is inspired by Linear’s filter list - left side is the filter name, middle is the operator (“contains”, “is”, “after”), right side is the value. Click a chip’s value to edit it in place; click × to remove it.

• One bar, many chips. Type for a text search; press Enter or , to lock it in as a chip. Click + Add filter to add a structured filter alongside it. Multiple text chips combine into one query, and the filter chips narrow the result set on top.
• More filters out of the box. In addition to the previous From / To / CC / BCC / Subject / Body / Tag / Has-unsubscribe / Exclude-business filters, you can now filter by Participant, Has attachment, Read, Starred, Folder, and an honest Received after / Received before date range.
• Linkable filtered views. Filtered views are saved in the address bar, so you can bookmark them or copy the link to return to the same view later.
• Triage source as a pinned chip. When you open a triage view for a sender, that sender shows up as an unremovable From chip in the same bar - so the source context is always visible next to whatever extra chips you add.

Old filtered bookmarks keep working automatically. The “Email type” and “Sender type” segmented controls are now first-class chips, so result sets stay identical while the interface feels more consistent.

See Inbox → Search for the user-facing tour, or Reference → Search syntax for the full chip type table and sharing behavior.

Rule builder is now a guided wizard

Mail rules used to be a single tall form with everything visible at once - filters, actions, name, priority, and the “enabled” toggle all crammed into one modal. The rule UI is now a guided three-step wizard so the choices line up with how people actually think about rules: “who does this match, what should happen, and what do I call it?”

• Three steps, every surface. The wizard ships on the inbox/triage Create rule from filters modal, the Settings → Rules → New / Edit modal, and the mobile rule editor. Same step order on all three: Filter → Actions → Name.
• Strict navigation. The Next button only enables once the current step is valid - at least one filter on step 1, at least one action on step 2, and a non-empty name on step 3. Back is always free, so you can re-tune earlier steps without losing what’s already filled in.
• One filter language across the app. Step 1 uses the same chip-based search bar from the inbox. “Create rule from filters” carries your inbox chips straight into the wizard, so the rule matches exactly what you were looking at.
• Mobile parity. The mobile editor used to expose only a handful of conditions; it now supports every filter the web app does (From / To / CC / BCC / Subject / Body / Participant / Tags / Has attachment / Read / Starred / Folder / Email type / Sender type / Date range). Tap + Add filter to pick a filter from the bottom sheet and edit its value inline.
• Advanced options hidden by default. Priority, “rule is enabled”, and “stop processing other rules” now live behind a disclosure on step 3. The common case - name your rule and go - is no longer cluttered by power-user controls.
• Preview a rule’s scope before it runs. Every row in Settings → Rules has a new View matching emails button (magnifying-glass icon). It opens the inbox with the rule’s filters pre-applied as chips, so you can sanity-check exactly which emails the rule covers before letting it run.

Existing rules are untouched: their conditions, actions, and metadata round-trip through the new wizard unchanged. Editing an existing rule pre-fills every step from the saved values.

See Inbox → Tags → Auto-tagging with rules for the updated walkthrough, including the new preview button.

Mailbox export and retention cleanup

You can now request a full mailbox export from Settings → Billing → Mailbox Export. Exports run in the background and produce a standard .mbox file. Download links expire after 7 days.

This release also puts the documented deletion windows into practice: disconnected account content is cleaned after 24 hours, cancelled account bodies and attachments after 30 days, cancelled metadata after 90 days, and expired export files are removed.

See Billing → Export your data for the updated flow.

UI polish

A small focused pass on a few rough edges in the web app:

• Modernized tabs and segmented controls. Every tab strip now uses a single shared component with a pill-style active state instead of the old underline-and-border look. That covers the Settings sidebar, the inbox account switcher, the contact-detail modal, and the IMAP / SMTP / custom-domain toggles inside the account and send-profile forms. Smaller toggles - inbox view density, attachment list-vs-grid, and the Email Type / Sender Type filters - moved to a matching segmented control so the whole app speaks the same visual language. Tabs and toggles are easier to use with a keyboard and screen reader.
• Clearer bulk-select state. When you select some - but not all - emails in the inbox, the floating “select all” toggle now shows a filled box with a dash inside (the standard “indeterminate” checkbox look) instead of an empty checkbox. It’s much easier to tell at a glance whether you have a partial selection vs. nothing selected.
• Shared wizard step indicator. The setup wizard and the new rule wizard now share a single component for the “Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3” header, so onboarding and rule creation feel like the same product.
