in case there's a permanent issue with the mailbox, we need to surface this in the UI and alert the user, so if the mailbox is lost, the user can fix it or let us tell all contacts to stop using it.
it *might* be interesting to know which contact supports/has a mailboxMailbox: Status UI for Briar appElio Qoshielio@ura.designElio Qoshielio@ura.designhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2162Implement UI for pairing Briar with mailbox2022-02-25T14:58:21ZTorsten GroteImplement UI for pairing Briar with mailboxImplement the UI designed in #2161.

In MIUI 12.0, long-pressing an app in the recent apps list showed a set of actions, including a lock/unlock action. In MIUI 12.5, long-pressing shows the app info screen instead.
This means we don't have a way of protecting Briar against Xiaomi/Redmi's power management on MIUI 12.5, and the instructions we're showing during account creation can't be followed.Android 1.4akwizgranakwizgranhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2157Power management instructions for Xiaomi/Redmi are wrong2022-06-13T13:40:52ZakwizgranPower management instructions for Xiaomi/Redmi are wrongThe power management setup instructions for Xiaomi/Redmi devices say "If the padlock is not locked, tap to lock it".

But the button shows the effect of the action (tap to lock) rather than the current state (locked). So if the padlock is **already** locked, the user should tap it.
New instructions:
1. Open the recent apps list (also called the app switcher)
2. If Briar has a small padlock next to its name then you don't need to do anything
3. If there's no padlock, press and hold the image of Briar until the padlock button appears, then tap it
We also need to check whether the instructions for MIUI < 10 need to be updated.Android 1.4akwizgranakwizgranhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2156Upgrade OkHttp to 3.14.x2023-06-19T14:02:33ZakwizgranUpgrade OkHttp to 3.14.xhttps://square.github.io/okhttp/changelog_3x/#version-3130

OkHttp 3.12.x will receive critical bug fixes until the end of 2021. Newer versions drop support for Android 4, so when we upgrade we'll either need to drop support for Android 4 or restrict features that use HTTP (RSS feeds, mailbox) to Android 5+.
According to Google Play, 0.5% of devices running Briar use Android 4.

To make it easier for the user to see in which conversations there are unsent, sent or acknowledged messages, maybe the appropriate symbols can be added next to the timestamp for each contact in the contact list.
If done similarly as can be seen on the screenshot below, then the user would know that in the conversation with Belle, there are still messages that are not sent and some that are not acknowledged. ![device-2021-08-10-105617](/uploads/7c5ab2017b728eeba8415f0ad9ca1656/device-2021-08-10-105617.png)https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2145Timestamps in contact list aren't updated when returning from conversation sc...2021-11-25T17:30:01ZakwizgranTimestamps in contact list aren't updated when returning from conversation screenhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/2144Graphics size when exporting and importing messages inconsistent + arrow dire...2021-09-02T12:26:36ZIvanaGraphics size when exporting and importing messages inconsistent + arrow direction incorrect for importing dataSteps to reproduce:
