Contacts

Manage your contacts directly within Bulwark using JMAP Contacts (RFC 9553/9610 ContactCard/AddressBook).

Contact Management

• Add, edit, and delete contacts
• Multiple email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses per contact
• Organization and job title fields
• RFC 9553 name kinds (given, surname, middle, prefix, suffix) emitted on output and decoded on import; QUOTED-PRINTABLE encoded vCard fields are decoded on import
• Gender handling with speakToAs structure
• Anniversary and birthday fields with non-string date handling
• Search and filter contacts list
• A-Z grouping with sticky section headers (toggleable in settings)
• Right-click context menu for contact actions
• Multi-select with checkboxes and selection toolbar
• Resizable sidebar for browsing contacts alongside details
• Pagination for large address books via maxObjectsInGet capability detection

Revamped Detail View

The contact detail view supports:

• Filters for navigating between detail sections
• Photo display with print support
• Duplicate detection and merge actions
• Contact activity — a dedicated component showing recent emails exchanged and upcoming calendar events for the contact

Address Book Directories

Organize contacts across multiple address books:

• Create and manage separate address books (directories)
• Rename existing address books from settings
• Drag-and-drop contacts between address books with proper ID namespacing for shared address books
• Address book picker in the contact editor
• Visual separation of address books in the sidebar
• Sharing of address books via JMAP

Trusted Senders

Trusted senders are stored in a dedicated JMAP address book separate from your personal contacts. When you allow images from a sender or otherwise trust them, the entry is persisted server-side and synced across devices.

Categories

Organize contacts with categories:

• Assign categories to contacts via the category combo box in the contact form
• Drag-and-drop contacts to a category in the sidebar
• Filter contacts by category or use the no-category filter to find uncategorized contacts

Groups

Organize contacts into groups for easy access:

• Create custom contact groups with JMAP members map
• Add contacts to multiple groups
• Group expansion when addressing emails

Auto-Complete

When composing an email, Bulwark auto-completes recipient addresses (To, Cc, Bcc) from your contacts stored on the JMAP server.

Import & Export

• Import - vCard (.vcf) files (RFC 6350) with duplicate detection, accessible from Settings
• Export - Download contacts as vCard, accessible from Settings
• Sync - Contacts sync via JMAP with Stalwart, with local fallback when the server doesn't support contacts

Bulk Operations

Select multiple contacts for batch actions:

• Multi-select with checkboxes
• Bulk delete
• Bulk add to group
• Bulk export to vCard
