DavMail 7.0.0 Boosts Performance with Graph-Based Delta Sync and Enhanced IMAP Features
  • DavMail 7.0.0 eliminates the davmail.caldavImpersonate option and introduces a default Graph-based delta sync for folders, reducing full listings and boosting performance.

  • IMAP messages keep their original date, headers, threading, and read flags, and meeting responses can target a single occurrence within a recurring event.

  • The EWS backend receives ongoing fixes for attendees, organizers, shared calendars, and exception occurrences, but the scope is smaller than the Graph-focused work.

  • Contacts now expose distribution lists as contact groups, though Thunderbird support for this remains unavailable.

  • Upgrade requires Graph access: Calendars.ReadWrite.Shared for shared folders, and token validation will fail without Mail.ReadWrite; admins in restricted tenants should approve the new scope.

  • A new davmail.caldavReadonly=true mode allows read-only calendar access, and the tool will abort a meeting response if the event has disappeared to avoid creating broken copies.

  • DavMail 7.0.0 primarily centers its integration on Microsoft Graph, with far more Graph entries than EWS.

  • DavMail now impersonates the shared mailbox itself when sending meeting responses from a shared calendar, eliminating the previous impersonation setting.

  • An opt-in under davmail.graph.deltaSync enables folder delta sync, which is now enabled by default, and the release adds smarter retry handling and support for malformed Retry-After headers.
