Composing Emails

Bulwark's composer provides a rich editing experience for crafting emails.

Rich Text Editor

The editor supports full formatting:

Bold, italic, ~~strikethrough~~, and underline
Ordered and unordered lists
Inline hyperlinks
Block quotes
Code blocks

Identity Selection

Choose which sender identity to use from the dropdown in the composer. Each identity can have its own name, email address, and signature.

Attachments

Drag and drop files onto the compose window
Click the attachment button to browse
Maximum file size is determined by your Stalwart configuration
Inline images can be pasted directly from the clipboard

Signatures

Set up multiple signatures via identity management:

Each identity has its own signature
Signatures are automatically appended based on the selected identity
Switch identities (and signatures) using the dropdown in the composer

Templates

Insert reusable email templates from the compose toolbar:

Browse templates by category with search and filter
Placeholder variables (e.g., {{recipientName}}, {{date}}) are auto-filled from composer context
Custom placeholders prompt for input on insertion
Press T in the email list or Ctrl+Shift+T in the composer to open the template picker
Manage templates from Settings

Emails are auto-saved as drafts every 60 seconds (configurable in settings). You can also manually save with Ctrl+S. Drafts sync across devices via JMAP. A discard confirmation dialog appears when closing an unsaved draft.
