That's also my experience. But I can't do anything. I only changed the theme. No changes in functionality. Don't forget also, that RC2 isn't a stable release.

Update

k9-MailClient-v5.200-RC1_material_v2.apk

Changes:

- ui improvements in message listview

- changed background of quoted text in dark theme

- attachment view (composing message)

As requested earlier in this thread I published the app on xda lab today. I don't know, how long it takes until the app is available.

Regards

Gaukler Faun
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Could you change the text color of the attachments? White text on a light grey background.

I'm using the dark theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
Yes, I will fix it in next version.

Have nice christmas days until then...

Regards

Gaukler Faun
[Android Apps and Games] RockyTV:
Have you submitted the app to XDA Labs? I can't find it there for some reason.
[Android Apps and Games] smartuser8:
Can we customize the top red color for an other color? I need grey, I hate that kind of flash red, it's burn my eyes :/

Thanks for this app!
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
Update to v 5.201

I hope it is fixed in current version. For me it works.

I've submitted it but with "beta" tag. Current version will be tagged as "stable". Perhaps than it appears on xda labs... Just wait a few more days...

I don't plan to change the color. Red is the k9 color (in my opinion).

New update v5.201

Download in second post (or perhaps in a few days via xda labs).

Regards

Gaukler Faun

Changes in 5.201:

- Fixed crash during database upgrade

- Fixed various minor bugs

Changes in 5.200:

- Fixed bug with status display of signed messages

- Updated translations

I just opened the XDA Labs app and K9 Material is there. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
No changes on my side.

[Android Apps and Games] GasLoop:
Really cool that you're creating a material version of K9-Mail, but I wonder: will it always be up to date?

Edit: Looks great, you should update your screenshots :)
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
Since I use it on my own, I'm planning to update regularly (see second post). I will update screenshots when I have time. I think I also need a nice banner. ;)

I'm going to use the stable branch in future.

Regards

Gaukler Faun
[Android Apps and Games] GasLoop:
Brilliant! One thing really irritated me: unread messages are grey while read are white. Could you either switch it or use a different colour for highlighting unread messages? I'd much appreciate it. Oh and could you add grouped notifications to your roadmap? Your app would start differing from the original but I think the improvements are worth it. In the end you're to decide, eh?

Thanks again for your efforts!
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
As I want as less changes as possible from original k9 I won't change this things. I don't have much time and with less changes to the original it's much easier to update my fork.

Regards

Gaukler Faun
[Android Apps and Games] GasLoop:
That's well understandable :) but can you look into the colouring of the (un) read messages?
[Android Apps and Games] rezzo:
Nice work, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Eschatologius:
Love the fork, finally a proper AND good looking replacement for Gmail ;) thx a lot
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
I'm guessing it's time for an update, as K-9 has been updated to version 5.202.
[Android Apps and Games] jboyer0000:
Thank you! The UI is the reason i stopped using K-9! Question though, why didn't you fork the repo and keep the history?
[Android Apps and Games] meiser:
Any chance to get it merged upstream?
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
I thought it's an unwritten rule on xda not to ask for updates. Since I have a few apps on F-droid, which have a higher priority, I'm the maintainer of our school Moodle app and I have a job and family, I don't have the time to update this fork immediately when there is a k9 update. I will make an update as soon as possible. At the moment version 5.201 is working fine for me. So there's no reason for hurry... I think I have some time during this week.

That's a longer story. In short: when I started the material version of k9 I simply downloaded the source code of the development branch (I wasn't able to build the stable branch). Now I simple download the source code of the actual stable release, replace the files in my repo and make the changes I did before. It works fine, so I don't want to change this workflow...

Regards

Gaukler Faun
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Sorry about that, I had forgotten (to everyone else, sometimes those who have been for a long time forget about this rule, however that does not justify their actions).

Although my main point, was simply to notify you of the new update, although now that I think about it, it was rather pointless.

Again, I am truly sorry about my conduct.

5.201 is also working fine for me (at least recieving messages, I haven't tried sending yet) with my Yahoo Mail, so I am perfectly fine here.

Also, may I please make a suggestion as to the design?

It would be nice if we could have a sliding sidebar for seeing the mailbox's folder, and switching to other mailboxes.

It is not required, although (at least in my opinion) it is more comfortable than pressing back to so.

And I understand that this app is low on the priority list, so I am not trying to rush you.
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
No big thing it's ok.

Yes you're right, but I won't implement new features. It would be a lot of work. And I'm not a learned developer. All I learned I learned from tutorials and searches in the internet.

The more I change the original source, the more work I will have with each update. You should consider to contact the k9 team on their Github site. But I won't think that you will have much success, since they are also not willingly to update the ui to material design. There is a "material design" branch, but there happened nothing over a year... But if enough people will join you...

Gaukler Faun
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:

Hi, there! I'm here just to say that I'm in 5.201 and XDA labs doesn't let me update :silly:. In fact, I can open the app from XDA! Any idea why I can't update to 5.202? Thank for your great and hard work! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Try updating manually, it may be a temporary bug.

The downloads are on the 2nd post.
[Android Apps and Games] CLPose:
Yeah! I will. Weird, anyway... Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] _WiNNa_:
Same problem here...
[Android Apps and Games] CLPose:
I just downloaded APK from second post. Updated it manually and everything works fine. :victory: I don't know why XDA Labs can't recognize this update. :p
[Android Apps and Games] _WiNNa_:
Yeah, did that, too.

Must be a problem with XDA app.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
I personally did not have any issues.

However, some people over at the XDA Labs thread had posted issues with connectivity.

Are your connections to the internet stable?
[Android Apps and Games] _WiNNa_:
Yes! Connection is stable. I'm at home with wlan.
[Android Apps and Games] Alchedroid:
I manually downloaded version .202 but it installed as a separate app next to version .201. It even has a different app icon. I have the same problem as the above.
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
Is there also a problem installing the version provided in the second post?

Because both apks are identically the same...
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Don't worry about it, the issues are with Labs, not the APKs.

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

That is very odd.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

The you should try checking the XDA Labs thread if there is a solution

Unfortunately, I do not remember any details well enough.
[Android Apps and Games] CLPose:
I manually downloaded APK from 2nd post and manually installed it. System detected it as an update, so no big deal. :highfive: I just updated it and everything is working flawlesly. But XDA Labs couldn't see that 201 and 202 were different versions :silly:. Good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] meiser:
You got me wrong. I didn't ask for ETA when you update a new version. My question was if you intend to get your changes merged into the official k9 project. Because as you mentioned, it takes a lot of time to maintain the fork, and I guess that a lot of other people would be happy if your work was merged upstream.

Regards,

meiser
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
Ok, thanks for clearing. ;)

The official k9 started a "material branch" some years ago. But they didn't work on it since nearly two years. My changes wouldn't be merged, because I use minimum sdk 21 (Lollipop) to implement material theme. So devices running an older Android version (a lot of users are still using KitKat), couldn't use k9 anymore.

Regards

Gaukler Faun
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
If I remember correctly, I had read about an unofficial Material Design library which supports SDK7 and up, perhaps it can help get the changes merged upstream?

Update: Here is the link: https://github.com/navasmdc/MaterialDesignLibrary.
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
That library is not very helpful. I could use also the native Google support library. The problem of both libraries is to implement "listactivities". They aren't supported, but used in many parts of k9 (account overview, message list, folder list,...). I achieved it one time to implement such a activity, but it was more a workaround... Perhaps some developers have more success than I. There are a few forks of my work.

Amazing app, I've switched over from regular k9. Only issue is in the message view, the reply/forward button is missing from the top panel. It only displays when the phone is rotated in landscape. Is there any way to force this button to always display? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
Update to v 5.203

No chance of adding new features. I only theme to material design.

I can't confirm this. For me it's working fine. Perhaps new version solves the bug.

No. No chance.

Fixed bug with pinch to zoom gesture

Added setting for disabling 'mark all as read' confirmation dialog

Dear [MENTION=4787911]Gaukler_Faun[/MENTION],

Been using your app for a while now, thank you so much for solving the impending problem with K-9, which is, the design.

I think it has a a bug though, the shading on read messages.

The shaded messages are the unread, and not the read ones.

Below a print screen to illustrate what I'm talking:

Is this expected behavior or a bug?

Once again, thank you and best regards.

[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
This is the same behavior as the original k9 app. I didn't change anything but the theme, colors, icons and layout.

[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
What do mean with "dirs"? Your email folders? If so, I can't confirm this bug. All my folders are shown. As said several times before, I changed nothing in the functionality. So of this is a bug you should report it on the k9 issue tracker.

But you can also attach a screenshot here. So that I understand your problem better...

There's an app called k9 material (unofficial) in F-droid. is it yours in this thread or related to someone else.?

Linkk is here:

https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.fsck.k9.material
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
A link for what?
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
Yes, that's my fork. The k9 team asked me to change the app name, so my fork is now called "K9 material (unofficial)". And someone organized it to include it on F-droid. The F-droid version, the version on xda labs and the version in this threat are identical. The only difference is, that F-droid uses their own key to sign the akp files. So you can't update the "xda version" with the F-droid version and vice versa. So everything is fine.

Is Dashclock integration something you could do or does it need a completely new dashclock extension?
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
He 'just' add a material design UI to K-9. No new features will be added to the original app. If you have feature requests you should go on the original Github repo and open an issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
As far as I know there is also a dashclock extension available.
[Android Apps and Games] rpcll:
Yeah, that's what I'm using, but it only works with regular K-9.

I wonder if it's something you could fix within your app or if there needs to be a whole new fork of the old extensionmade for it.
[Android Apps and Games] flocke000:
Probably the only thing that would have to be done to work with this fork of K-9 is to change the package name the DashClock Extension uses:

Thank you very much for the beautiful app!

I'm currently on the k-@ mail with a little bit older design, therefore I was very happy to see progress in the development of this mail programm.

Unfortunately I'm missing in your current app version a feature I normally use extensively, a desktop (unified) inbox widget.

Is this something I can be counting on to see in your future releases?

Hi, great work :)

But i have a question, if i open a mail, how can I reply in an email?

There is no icon or button for replay?

- second post

- soon on xda labs

- soon on F-Droid

- soon on PLay Store

You can export your settings and import it in the fork. No normal way to use the database. If you have a rooted phone you can try to copy the database from k9 data directory to the k9 material data directory, set the right permissions, ... I don't know if it will work...

The red accent color was really better IMO.

Is there a way to reduce the padding of each message in the unified inbox?
[Android Apps and Games] badflife:
Jep i also liked the red color better.

Also when i manually sync mails the sync button disappears until sync is finished
[Android Apps and Games] BonnyBedlamBoy:
yes, the preview text of mails in the folders are vertically sustained. it would be cool if the colour of the header could be selectable from a few presets.
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
I changed the primary color back to a darker red. The accent color will be blue then.

I don't want to reduce the padding. I think it looks more material and it's better to read the preview of messages.

I changed the background color of the sync button to white. It will be visible with next update.

No chance to implement new settings. It would be to much work for me to maintain.

I will test some more ui changes and then release an update.
