This is why so many apps display ads, track you and analyze your behavior:

"Several features are available only to paid users" - 1 star

While the app is for 98% free to use.

"when the product is free you are the product. " that should be your standard reply

I try to educate people, and always in a nice way, but some people just want everything for free.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
In a fairemail thread of a big german forum some people mentioned that they prefer Aquamail over fairemail due to it's simpler user experience. Did you benchmark Aquamail already? Just bring this in since you asked what could be done differently to ease the workflows
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Besides that I deliberately do not look at other email apps and are following a problem/solution approach and that benchmarking will be pretty subjective, I will never install Aquamail given the trackers it contains. Once, it was a nice app, until it was sold.

So, instead, please let me know what could be improved.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
However, these can only be users who do not mind that the current version of AquaMail belongs to MobiSystems.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
There's a very nice app to handle such apps called Netguard, maybe you heard of it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
I came to FE from AM where I went from K9. FE is way way better than AM . It was good while Kostya Vasilyev was developing it.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Oh and I also used MailDroid for a little while. That app has long since been abandoned by the developer
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I was a long time user of Aquamail. The developer was one person, very responsive and capable, but (I suspect) depressed. Then, for health conditions he sold it. Since then privacy suffered and both responsiveness and competence went down. For privacy reasons I uninstalled it and would not recommend it now.

As Marcel said, it was good until it was sold. But even at its best, it did not compare with FairEmail's current capability.

I worry that one day Marcel will also quit and FairEmail will go the same sad route.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
I think most of us lovers of FairEmail are worried about the same thing.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Unlike AquaMail, FairEmail is open source.

Besides that I am a fan of my own app ;-)

Hi

I purchased this app, nice email app.

Am I missing something here though, when I snooze mails,I don't get a notification when it appears again in my inbox.

This means I don't know I have the snoozed mail, which means it's pointless snoozing it.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I use snoozing frequently myself and for me it works fine. To be sure I just double checked.

Please make sure you are using the latest version of the app and also make sure new message notifications for the folder where the message is stored in are enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
It's 6.30 am Marcel. Go back to sleep;)
[Android Apps and Games] ed33:
Hi yes got latest version from playstore.

Notify on New messages is on.

It hides the snoozed mail, but never gives a notification sound or pop up.

Just shows as unread in the inbox.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Here it works with notification and popup if the snooze-point is reached.
[Android Apps and Games] Giocarro:
Dear all,

I'm testing this e-mail app since a couple of days, and find it very well done: kudos to developers!

I'd like to ask a question - though - that is quite important to me: I set up two accounts, one GMail and other is an IMAP account from my company.

The issue I face is that sending encryption settings do stick for GMail account but do not stick for IMAP work account.

I don't want to use any PGP encryption, and when I send a message from GMail I see the "open lock" icon on the top right: so far so good.

However, when I send a message from the work account, I see the "P" icon on the top right, and each time I have to touch it to get the "open lock" icon and send the message.

I browsed quite a lot the settings pages, disabled any encryption option, checked the sign options, but for the life of me cannot make the "no encryption" default when sending messages from the work account.

I might be missing some basic step here, but I can assure I read the FAQs and searched the thread before posting.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please make sure that default signing/encryption in the encryption settings is disabled. Instead you can enable this for one identity only in the advanced identity settings (via manual setup in the main setup screen).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Version 1.1655 is available on GitHub now and in the Play store test program after Google's approval.

Changelog/download:

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

There is a new display option to show the message authentication status. There is a new, related 'Checks' panel in the receive settings as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Giocarro:
Thanks for your prompt answer.

1) Yes, I made sure that all the settings are disabled, and also made a few tests with different options enabled and disabled; still, IMAP account defaults to PGP and GMail one don't;

2) Here comes something interesting: GMail account defaults to SSL/TLS and works well with it; IMAP account is configured the same way, with the only difference that at the very bottom of the settings I enabled the check on "Server certificate is reliable", because otherwise it did not work. If I try to disable SSL/TLS and set it to none, the "Save" funtion make the application stuck (tried right after a reboot, too).

Might that "server certificate" feature be the culprit? If I disable it the account does not work.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
SSL/TLS and client certificate in the account/identity settings are not related to this. Please change back what you changed to prevent future trouble.

You'll need to send one message to select the key and default encryption method, did you do that?

Note that replying to a signed/encrypted message will by default enable signing/encrypting.

Just to be sure: did you disable default signing in the advanced identity settings for your work account?
[Android Apps and Games] Giocarro:
OK, nevermind, I knew it might have been something silly. I overlooked the setting that states whether outgoing messages must be signed by default or not.

Thanks for helping out, will keep evaluating this app for a few days and eventually purchase it, if it will keep rocking as it is now.

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
On my mi 9 I also get no new notification. I wondered already but I missed to ask here
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
@ed33 @topcaser can you please contact me for a test version?

You can use report issue in the navigation menu to contact me.

Edit: did you snooze the message unread or marked the message unread later?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Hey @M66B, I think I found a small bug. When reopening an account settings and clicking on the Check button, I get the tvSentWarning message even though the account has a sent folder. Happened for all 4 of my accounts, 1 is Gmail and the 3 others are Outlook/Office 365.
[Android Apps and Games] graphik_:
Sorry for the late answer. Too much happened the last few days.

I read the last two pages and I hope I didn't miss something.

The downside without VMC is that you can simple copy the BIMI record of a company or or even simpler just use a C-Name to point to the desired companies BIMI entry.

This is possible because nothing beside the VMC (or some future evidence document) is validated.

For example take your domain and create a BIMI record with the content of booking.com.

You will see that the BIMI logo will be displayed in FairEmail what is totally correct.

The SSL communication is totally separate and is not validated in any association with the BIMI record.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will look into it, thanks.

Edit: @Dark_Eyes_ this will fix it:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/commit/e22254e914984c23bd757b9a6deb2f0e35d69972
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can't simply copy a BIMI record because the DNS name of the security certificate will be checked against the domain name of the sender's address.

So, the sender's domain, the DNS record at sender's domain and the DNS name in the certificate all needs to match and the certificate needs to have a valid chain up to an established root certificate.

The BIMI group did think this out well.
[Android Apps and Games] graphik_:
I think we might talk past each other.

Regarding to the current draft the only validation for the l tag is that a valid TLS connection is possible.

See section 7.5. Indicator Discovery Without Evidence.

I wasn't able to found any validation for the domain inside of the 'l' tag.

A short example:

We have the domain 'dhl.com' with this record:

v=BIMI1;l=https://www.dhl.com/dhl-email-logo/dpdhl_bimi.svg

If we copy this into the BIMI record of 'example.com' everything is correct. :/
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can copy the DNS record and FairEmail will show the DHL logo, but not with a double check mark because the sender isn't verified in this case. This requires an 'a' tag pointing to a valid security certificate.
[Android Apps and Games] graphik_:
That's what I liked to explain.

Spam mails or phishing mails could use this to fool the user.

Right now I noticed that if I have the 'a' tag copied too FairEmail will still show one check mark.

I think it would be better to not show the logo at all because an invalid certificate is used.

I think the VMC draft mentioned this behavior too. The certificate needs to match the senders domain.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I think it is useful to display the logo anyway because not everybody has a big pocket and can buy a VM certificate.

We can talk about something else for the single check mark, which currently means "unverified sender".
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Version 1.1656 is available on GitHub now and in the Play store test program after Google's approval.

Changelog/download:

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

This version fixes the reported snooze problem and has some changes for better compatibility with Outlook.

Outlook appears not to support alpha colors, which is just a common web standard and Outlook rejected messages sent to self because they presumably contained a virus.

@graphik_ the single check mark is shown dimmed again
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
I don't understand your edit, but it sounds complicated anyway. The use case is: open an email and read it. If there is anything you need to be reminded in the future I click the snooze button (during the email is opened) and would expect that I am will be reminded at this time. But the reminder is missing. Do we need to do anything else to get this feature running?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Can you please install the latest version and let me know if it works for you now?
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Very odd, now I get the notifications. Did you change something?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, somebody else contacted me and helped me to figure out this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Cool. Thank you. I am wondering sometimes how you manage to be that fast in fixing that issues and delivering the solution to your customers. That's amazing. In my organisation, Software developers need sometimes several days just to reproduce a problem.

Would you like to share the boundary conditions which needs to be fulfilled for that bug (since some had it and some not)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
New message notifications will be suppressed for messages older than the account creation time to prevent a massive amount of new message notifications on configuring a new account. There is now an exception for unsnoozed messages.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:

[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Hey @M66B I noticed that the prev/next arrows in the actionbar have been reversed (left arrow goes to next and right arrow goes to previous). Was that intended?

I feel like the old way was more natural (left for previous, right for next).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That wasn't intended and I will check what the reason is. For now you can reverse the navigation direction in the settings.

[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Love the new style icons for authentication. Much easier to see. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Submarine854:
Maybe I missed the obvious, however, is there any option to open URL in an external (standard) browser?

Next question: does Fairemail have an option to set the color of my device's notification Led as others apps can?

Last one: when receiving community emails from Steam, I tried to click on any link or picture that should lead me to Steams store webpage, this does not work. Maybe I've confirmed any option anytime before or FE prevents opening the website. At least, after clicking on one of those embedded images, for a second or so, FE tries to do something but immediately returns to the appropriate email. So, can I verify somehow any previously made choices and revert them back, if applicable?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can use 'Open with' instead of 'OK' to hand over a link to Android to select the app to use to open a link. If you selected 'Open always with', this will be used by Android. There are several articles on the internet explaining how you can undo this.

Apps cannot change the color of notifications anymore. You'll have to do this in the notification settings of Android (tap on the second button in the notification settings of Android). Some apps create a notification channel for each color, but for FairEmail that's not an option considering that there can be notification channels for accounts, folders and senders. This would get unmanageable soon.

I am not sure what the problem with Steam links is. The open link dialog should appear. If you disabled this for specific domains, you can use reset questions in the miscellaneous settings to undo this.
[Android Apps and Games] Submarine854:
Thanks for your quick reply! I will have a look into the notification LED later on.

I've now reset all questions and after clicking on an inline image from Steam, Fairemail again, prompts me with the expected dialog, where I can select Open With.

But, after clicking on it I immediately get a blank, black display on my Huawei tablet and I'm thrown back to Fairemail again, nothing more. The link in questions is e.g. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1181600/Jetboard_Joust/?snr=1_620_4_1400_45&ser=1_0_

I would expect to see Android standard dialog where I can choose which app to use for this URI. My main browser is Firefox Android.
[Android Apps and Games] Submarine854:
Hm, maybe this is the root of the issue especially with store.steampowered.com links, like above:

I've installed Steam's own app from Playstore and registered the URI store.steampowered.com to be open with this app. Did not yet reset the app settings to test if this causes those troubles.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I can open this link without any problems, so I am not sure why you can't. Maybe it is opened by an app which crashes, at least this is what your description indicates.

Please see this article about resetting the default open action:

How to set and clear default applications in Android

Aren't a fan of the stock music player or browser on your Android? We'll show you how to both set and clear default apps on your smartphone in this tutorial.

www.androidauthority.com

Maybe it reveals which app is handling the link.
[Android Apps and Games] Submarine854:
Yeah! Just reset the Steam app settings and now Fairemail asks me which app to use to open the link mentioned above: Firefox or Steam. But, when choosing Steam, the above described behavior can be watched. Using Firefox, however, all is well.

So for now, I will stop using steam from within Fairemail and continue with Firefox.

One annoyance I'm still facing is, when using the OK button instead of Open with, that Firefox opens, kind of inline.

So this is basically the behavior I've initially mentioned in my posting above.

Can I force Fairemail to fully use Firefox?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I think the Stream app crashes.

'OK'=use embed browser tab page (powered by the installed browser)

'Open with'=use app to open link (app could be the browser)

So, you'll want to use 'Open with' and not 'OK'.

That said, there is not much difference if it is a 'browser' link (not an app link) because in both cases the browser will open the link. It looks different, but it is the same app (Firefox in your case, assuming this is the only browser installed).

There are some difference though, please see here:

[Android Apps and Games] Submarine854:
Yes, I know Fairemail opens Firefox internally, but this has a drawback, at least for me. I want both apps (Firefox and Fairemail) to be open, after clicking on a link in any email. Reason is that I often switch between those apps to lookup email content and still be able to browse the open webpage.

So some apps offer an open to use an external browser or open links internally. This is the option I was seeking in Fairemail's settings. Any chance to implement such kind of option if possible?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please drop the thought of an option. You can select this on a case-by-case basis:

OK=open link in embedded tab page

Cancel=don't open link

Open with=open link externally

Sometimes these three buttons are ordered horizontal and sometimes vertically, and oddly enough sometimes you need to scroll the buttons, depending on the Android version/variant.

Hi,

Can't see that in my store version, but done a good down vote session for the occasion : o ]

The comments are still very good for what I can see !

Thanks again Marcel - I'll try to send a few donation as soon as I can and plan to do it every year.

You deserve it, far more then a lot of others, a lot...

I don't understand people who bought a phone for hundreds even thousands money worth, but still able to complain for the best free app ever.

I use 5 things every day on my phone :

(0. vpn - netguard)

1. Keyboard

2. Contact/call

3. Email

4. Calendar

5. Messaging app

The others is not mandatory (not every day).

If one day you feel to start a keyboard project, with your philosophy, I could donate a lot (as I can't help with code).

Take some rest - be well

I am using fair email pro with an IMAP account. It seems as if messages older than 30d are being deleted.

I dont want messages to be deleted automatcally. I want to delete them by myself.

Is there somewhere a setting specifying when to delete IMAP messages?

Tnx!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In the three dots menu selecting to fetch more messages is the simplest solution for this.

The messages are removed from the device only, not from the email server.

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

There is a new behavior option to change the swipe left/right sensitivity. There are 10 'stops' and the default sensitivity is 7, which is a bit less than it used to be. I like to know if this is a good default setting. There should be a balance between sensitivity and accidentally swiping a message to the trash or archive folder (or whatever the swipe action is configured to do).

The sensitivity is represented by the velocity (speed) of swiping (slow/fast) and the stops represent in fact a multiplication factor for the velocity threshold.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
The default setting is smooth as butter! Great stuff
[Android Apps and Games] new_user3:
@M66B

While I do appreciate the integration of Deepl for machine translation, I wonder if in a nearby future we may even see Firefox Translation / Project Bergamot integrated in FairEmail for locally generated machine translations.

Just an idea, but I thought could be worth sharing!
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
I played around with it a bit. Personally I find the default value to be the best compromise.
[Android Apps and Games] jmh2002:
I moved it down to 5. Previously I was experiencing some unintential swipes so this is a good added feature for me.

Thank you Marcel.
