Telex

Theme

Every theme meets WCAG 2.2 AA contrast; the high contrast ones meet AAA.

Rows

Text size

Ctrl+= makes everything larger, Ctrl+− smaller, Ctrl+0 normal.

Language of the interface

Menus, messages and the errors Telex writes follow this language. Mail you write keeps its own words: each identity has its signature and its reply and forward headers (Accounts › Identities).

Check for new mail

New mail

Show new mail at once Notify me of new mail while Telex is in the background

At once: Telex keeps one connection open to each server that allows it (IMAP IDLE) and checks the Inbox when the server says something changed. The other folders are checked as often as set above.

Mark messages as read

HTML mail

H switches between them.

HTML mail in a dark theme

On dark paper, the message’s own colors are turned around to match the theme; pictures stay as they are. The sun button above a message shows it on white.

Remote images

Images from the internet stay blocked until you load them, so senders can’t see when you open their mail. These senders’ images load without asking, except in Spam:

New messages

Plain text reads the same everywhere. HTML adds bold, lists and links, and goes out with a plain-text copy. The Text | HTML switch in a message changes it for that one.

Replies and forwards

Undo sending

Sent mail waits this long in the Outbox. Z takes it back to change it.

Checks

Ask before sending a message without a subject Underline spelling mistakes

Signatures and the reply and forward headers belong to each identity: Accounts › Identities.

Check for updates once a day

A check downloads one small file from GitHub that names the newest version. It sends nothing about you, your mail or this copy of Telex. An update installs only when you choose, and only if it carries Telex’s signature.
