The rate of core functionality b ugs seems concerning

I just wanted to express that the rate of core functionality b ugs seems concerning. These are the bugs I happen to have heard about:

- Old AutoPGP keys migrated (with only public key uploaded, no private keys) seem to be stuck in some state separated from the UI, where it's not clear and perhaps even impossible to change: https://userforum-en.mailbox.org/topic/4586-how-do-i-change-the-pgp-key-with-the-new-e-mail-encryption-settings

- The DKIM check for incoming mail seems to be broken in some scenarios of forwarded emails that are relayed in a way where the signed headers are intentionally left in place to leave DKIM working: https://userforum-en.mailbox.org/topic/3481-youre-failing-gmail-dkim-as-no-valid-dkim-in-authentication-results-header_1 DKIM is basically the only reliable, actually working way to detect spoofs for incoming unencrypted mail.

- The outgoing DKIM signature seems to be broken in some scenarios: https://userforum.mailbox.org/topic/12271-mails-mit-eigener-domain-sehr-haufig-ohne-dkim-signatur

- I heard from another involved user that apparently there used to be an IMAP idle handling bug in the mailbox server backend, where the keepalives no longer arrive after a while.

All of these bugs concern basic email and encryption functionality, rather than any of the more optional addons like calendar, cloud data, and so on.

I simply wanted to suggest that the team may want to focus more on fixes and less on new features.

The AutoPGP thing was rather a confusion of mine (along with me briefly managing to confuse the support person), I'm glad at least one of the points turned out not to be an actual issue. My apologies for listing that one when it turned out not to be a bug.
