Small bug:

Start a new email.

Enter only the subject.

Hit "Save" to save a draft.

The "Draft saved" message is displayed :good:, but no draft has actually been saved. :(

Note that if you hit "Save" on an empty new email (no address, no subject, no body), the "Draft saved" message is also displayed while it probably shouldn't. This isn't as bothering though, as nothing has been lost if you go back (since you typed nothing).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The draft is saved, even on the server (unless you enabled encryption).

However, leaving the drafts with no text will discard the draft because this is what most people want.

I am not sure about how to improve this. Maybe there should be a message "empty draft discarded".

Suggestions are welcome ...
[Android Apps and Games] otiel:
Indeed, my bad.

That would be less confusing. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Let's try to solve the real problem instead. Can you try with this commit?

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/commit/c8ef1d8270e7e11361256d8a3d7fa27544e78846

My guess is that your wearable (app) dismisses the notification because it already has seen it, which is good because it allows you to dismiss notifications from one device to dismiss it from all devices (which is what the dismissal ID is about). This commit takes care of creating a new message ID and thus a new dismissal ID, so the notification can be shown a second time.

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I think it is better to show what actually happened, which is what the latest release will do ;)
[Android Apps and Games] coubi64:
Thank you for your fantastic application, i'm very happy with it.

The version i use is the Google Playstore one.

There's something i don't understand: why do i always have this message under every mail in my inbox? It's normal that my mails are in my inbox and in "All messages", it's not a duplicate entry :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is likely a Gmail account. Gmail stores all messages in the all messages (archive) folder too. This is just how Gmail works and FairEmail just shows how things are. So, these messages are really duplicates of the same message.

Note that this makes it easy to search through all messages on the server because searching in the archive folder on the server will search through all messages.
[Android Apps and Games] coubi64:
Thank you for your answer.

Would it be possible to add an option not to show duplicate entries messages?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There were too many questions of people about the message count not being correct when for example deleting messages. Besides that, IMHO things should always be shown as they are , so everybody understands what is in fact going on. I have done my best to show duplicates in a minimalistic way, but I have no plans to make it possible to hide duplicates.

Note that if you label a message (also a Gmail specific feature), showing duplicates is in fact useful.

Basically, this is more a Gmail issue than a FairEmail issue. Gmail is might also not be the best choice if you care about your privacy in line with the goal of FairEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] coubi64:
I understand your explanation, and i think you're right.

I use Gmail since many many years and I have a lot of important mails so shifting to another provider is not easy. Which one should i consider: gmx, protonmail, other?

It seems that I don't receive anymore notifications of FairEmail on my wearos watch.

As I did a lot of configuration on my watch yesterday, I'm not sure the problem is not coming from me, but it's the only app with this issue since this morning, I've got the last github version.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please make sure 'Only send notifications with a message preview to wearables' is enabled in the notification settings. The default value of this setting has been changed, but nothing else, so maybe the cause is something else.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Then you, coubi64, have already chosen the wrong provider many, many years ago - and haven't changed that until today. ;)

Actually you, coubi64, and every other user of a gmail- or googlemail-address should inform his potential mail-partner BEFORE a mail-contact about such an address, that Google then also searches their mail completely and that they might prefer to use one of the following alternative providers if their privacy is a little important to them: ... Many people are not aware of this.
[Android Apps and Games] sylvn:
Working perfectly now thanks! Maybe the setting should be ON by default?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The default was changed because it does affect people without a wearable too, which is the majority.
[Android Apps and Games] sylvn:
Perfect then ?

Hi

Could it be possible to be able to create a rule to send forward automatically some messages to a specific mail address?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No, this is not possible, please see here about why not:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq71

In short: rules are executed before messages are downloaded.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Can you PL share which email provider you are using. Marcel has suggested many but I have not been able to make a decision yet. Also like so many others I am also skeptical of other smaller providers lest they go the way of AOL or Yahoo and become irrelevant or shut down.. [MENTION=7350063]fraschi51[/MENTION] your help is appreciated. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
I know you just asked [MENTION=7350063]fraschi51[/MENTION] but I'd thought I share that I'm with Posteo. Other suitable email provider are for me: mailbox.org, dismail.de or disroot.org.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Thank you kindly.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Best solution IMHO is to acquire your own domain and choose a email provider that lets you use that. I'm using ProtonMail for that, but there are more good providers that allow custom domains. If you have problems with your provider, you can change to another one without changing email addresses. You even can decide to self host your mail.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
I thought you could not use proton with FairEmail unless they had a Android bridge. Forgive me for my ignorance but I am a novice at this and have never looked beyond Gmail... Until now!

Thanks in advance [MENTION=4356248]heinhuiz[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
That is correct, you only can use their own app. I was just going to add that, but you were too quick for me :D
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
IMO this is a very good advice. A domain name is cheap and makes you independent of email providers. A personal domain name will make your email address more personal too.

I would not advice to run your own email server though because there will always be management work and delivery of sent message is problematic. In such a degree that you could say that the big email providers monopolize sending email, with Microsoft being the worst. If you still want to, consider to use a provider like Amazon SES for outbound messages.

local contacts won't work?

Hi,

I've just discovered FairEmail yesterday, and I'm already a big fan of this app.

The only problem I have is that I'd like to use the "local contacts" feature, but it seems it won't work.

I've set the authorizations in Android apps panel to block Fair Email from using the smartphone contacts, as suggested in FairEmail FAQ.

I've cleared the local messages in my Inbox, then forced synchronization.

Even after that, when I open a new message and type any letter in the "To:" field, there is no autocomplete with contact suggestions.

And if I click on the "add contact" icon at the right of the "To:" field, I get a blank window with "Select a contact" and "No contact with email" (I roughly translate the wording, as I'm using a French version of Android).

What can I do to make that work?

I'm using FairEmail 1.804 with Android 6.0.

Thanks for your help

Matt

[Android Apps and Games] sethnet:
This is a good choice for me.

It's a function I hadn't thought of but very necessary since sometimes Thunderbird has been saving different drafts that it doesn't delete when the email is sent and, on other occasions, I forget myself that I have saved drafts that I then don't use.

[Android Apps and Games] otiel:
Thanks!

My FairEmail shows 6 drafts on the left pane although I have none (checked on the server as well).

Not related: is this normal there's no apk in the GitHub assets for previous releases?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The default drafts entry in the navigation menu is a unified drafts folder for all accounts, so are you sure there are no drafts in any other account? Also, did you maybe hide/snoozed drafts?

Only the latest stable and beta versions are supported, which is why I remove all unsupported builds.
[Android Apps and Games] otiel:
Yes, I only have one account. No email hidden nor snoozed, and I've disabled all filters anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Does this time setting translate into 'never' or always?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Neither. It is a between start/end time condition.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
So, with that setting as it is by default, the rule is effective anytime or never?

I presume it is a start and end time for the rule?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I guess I understand now what you were trying to ask: the default is always.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Can you please let me know if version 1.811 fixes the problem?

[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
I'll have to test it more. It doesn't seem to fix my problem, but it may fix a new bug I noticed with snoozed notifications on earlier versions. It seems that snoozing messages that were already there when installing the app doesn't trigger a notification. It doesn't look like it's related to my previous problem. Snoozing new messages (that already triggered a new mail notifications) works fine. I'll test it with your new commit and mine and report back later.

I also noticed that when snoozing a message and using the special:hidden search, I see the message I snoozed and many other related non-snoozed ones (I'm not using threading). Is this the expected behavior? I feel only the snoozed or hidden messages should show there, not related messages as well.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Searching for hidden messages will search for both snoozed messages and hidden messages. Hidden messages are just infinitely snoozed messages.

Hello,

I don't understand what this option (in display settings) does:

"Automatically show inline images"

I don't see any difference in email view between on and off for this option.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Yep, I know that. Unsnoozed and unhidden messages show up. See the three last messages in screenshot.

Also, I believe your new commit broke snoozing because now messages stay snoozed even past there wake up time. See wake up time on the screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Inline images are images sent as a special type of attachments and not images stored on the internet. You can see if there are such images in the attachments section.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Waking up depends on Android. All alarms are inexact on recent Android versions to bundle alarms and to wake up the device less frequent to save on battery usage.

FairEmail should reschedule all alarms on reboot and after an update. If you want to be sure that all alarms are set, you can use the cleanup button in the miscellaneous settings. Note that alarms will not be rescheduled when running from Android studio (which is why a manual cleanup reschedules all alarms in the first place).

I will double check the special hidden search. I can't reproduce this issue though. Anyone else?
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Hi,

I discovered a strange effect with Nova Launcher using Tesla unread

On my old tab running LOS 16 the number of unread messages is shown correctly at the FE icon. No matter the messages notification is swiped away or not. On my S9 the badge shows only the number of messages in the notification area (same notification settings in FE).

The reason for this different behavior can be seen by starting Tesla unread:

LOS 16: FE is supported (listed under commons section)

S9: FE is NOT supported (listed under "not natively supported")
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
When the alarm triggers unsnoozing messages, there is a SQL error that breaks the process. I guess that's why the messages stay snoozed forever. See logcat.

Badge unread count support depends on ShortcutBadger, see here:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq106

If the launcher is not supported, Android will show a dot only or the number of notifications, which doesn't need to be the same as the number of unread messages. Solution: use a supported launcher.

Just to be sure: check if badge count is enabled in the FairEmail notification settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
You're a genius :) All working now, snoozing notifications show on the phone and the watch, and search for special:hidden only shows snoozed messages! Great job!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Actually, I made a stupid mistake, which is fixed now :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Thanks anyway! Snoozing older messages still seems to be broken though. Nothing shows up in logcat.

What I mean by older messages are messages that were there when opening the app for the first time. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and now snoozing any messages except the new one I just got doesn't trigger a notification. The new one I just got works every time. Weird, it's as if a new mail notification is absolutely needed for snoozed notifications, and my older messages never got one.

Anyway, that's not a big problem anymore because I'm more likely to snooze new messages than old ones, but I still want to report it to you.

EDIT: "notify adding" doesn't show in logcat on "old" messages but do in "new" messages if that can help.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
This means Nova with tesla unread isn't supported anymore on Samsung?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is correct: there will be no new message notifications for messages older than the account creation time. This is to prevent a massive amount of new message notifications when people install FairEmail for the first time with many unread messages stored. So, this is a feature and not a bug.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't know. This does not depend on FairEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
I totally understand now. Only undesired side effect is that snoozing a message older than account creation time won't notify you when waking up. I don't know if there is a way around this, but as I said it's less likely to happen over time so not that big a deal.

What the ****..

This means I can't get the number of unread messages at my FE icon? The hint 'numeric dots'

in the thread you mentioned didn't work !

Didn't work on Samsung only. I checked this on the phone of my wife (old S5): :( !

So, FE and Nova Launcher didn't works very well on Samsung devices.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is not really the fault of FairEmail or Nova launcher. If you want to blame someone, blame Google. Basically, Android does not support launcher icon badge counts.
[Android Apps and Games] kost7:
Just tried the numeric dots on my wife's S9 and it works just fine. Mind you, all badges now depend on the notification area; if they are dismissed there, the badge will disappear.

Sent messages shown as new in Sent folder

Hi, Marcel. Read the FAQs, but couldn't find an answer. I keep seeing sent messages shown as new (bold) in the accounts list and in the Sent folder in the account itself. Is this a new feature? I think it started happening a few releases ago. Any way to disable it? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Improvement suggestion

Hi Marcel,

to be honest the app is nearing perfection, but one thing I'd like to see is a different status bar notification icon when there is more than one notification, like Gmail or Messages would do (sort of two email icons on top of each other). I know it's mostly aesthetic, but it would be cool (and it would let you know at a glance if there is more than one new email).

Just a thought!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Sent messages are shown as the provider stores them (unless your provider does not store messages, in which case FairEmail will fill in the gap).

Nothing was changed to this recently. Sent messages show up as read in my case.

Which provider are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Which material design icons do you propose to use for this?

version 1.814

Changelog/dowload:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/releases

Message reformatting has been changed to prepend a line break before paragraphs and a line break after block elements (a paragraph is a block element). Furthermore display inline(-block) will be processed to not add line breaks. Please let me know how this works out.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
I see, but what if I make one for you? Does it have to be a vector one?
[Android Apps and Games] tefloncoated:
Thank you. This is happening on Yahoo. I also have a small delay for sending (1 minute, for all providers I have set up), not sure if that matters. The messages stay bold unless I go to the Sent folder and open/read the message. I don't think this is happening on Gmail, just tested it.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It needs to be a vector image.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is no delay when sending messages, unless you have configured this in the send settings. Since you speak about "1 minute, for all providers", I guess you have set a delay of one minute.

I will double check with a Yahoo! account later, but FairEmail just shows what it receives.
[Android Apps and Games] tefloncoated:
yes, sorry i wasnt clear - i've set up a 1 minute delayed send in FairMail. Was wondering if that setting might be related to this issues

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No, this is not related.
[Android Apps and Games] Ines*:
Starting in September, I have noticed that Yahoo - more and more often but not always - creates a mail in the remote Sent folder. In this case, the mail is unread - blame Yahoo.

Else, if the (sometimes missing) mail in the remote Sent folder must be created by FE, it is read.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In fact I have just tested this scenario and the message in the remote Yahoo! folder is unread.

You can create a rule to mark messages in the sent folder read if this bothers you.

IMHO it is not a good idea to mark messages read from FairEmail. Not everybody will want this.
[Android Apps and Games] Ines*:
The change in Yahoo's behavior explains why it looks different now although there was no corresponding change in FE.

I'd like to point out how well FE handled the - I would call it chaotic - transition phase and still handles "Yahoo not always creating the mail". :svetius:

The German YouTube tech channel SemperVideo covered FairEmail in a video about Phishing Mails: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Usx1zVWM6us

For those who don't speak German: They praised that FairEmail doesn't render images by default and displays a warning when the displayed link and actual link don't match, but criticize that the "Safe Link" checkbox is ticked by default and that it doesn't offer an option to view the mail as text-only.
