I already answered, read FAQ ~ https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq16

Also showed you the folder setting:

You just want to be spoon-fed

Instead,

Swipe left to open the navugation bar, click on support button

You will be taken to faq

Read, abd you will come across most solutioms to questions

Also again your screenshot 1 and 2, fairemail and gmail inboxes show the exact same thing.

So, ¡?¿!
[Android Apps and Games] kgbme:
Wasn't trying to argue (& tnx for the reply), the first screenshot shows "Inbox (11)", like the last screenshot - while I've only got 3 emails there, in total (emptied everything, from the web, to try and see what's going on).

I *guess* I'll have to read through everything (again), but the app is tripping hard on my device. Attached another screen of wonky numbers...

EDIT: It's not just the numbers, old emails that had been deleted are still in the app (and after reloading everything, to make matters worse); while it can receive new emails and send items to trash - and delete them permanently. It functions, somehow, but seems to be FUBAR, basically. :f
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is not clear to me what exactly the problem is, but FairEmail doesn't make up numbers. FairEmail is not perfect, but it works mostly properly. It won't eat your emails and won't tell your girlfriend ugly things out of the blue.

There is probably a good explanation, but you'll need to ask a clear question. Throwing with screenshots and telling "buggy" is maybe clear to you, but not to me. So, ask a simple question or explain the problem in a few sentences and you'll likely get a clear answer in return.

If you just believe FairEmail is buggy, better move on.
[Android Apps and Games] kgbme:
You guys are NOT serious... Are you? :-o Now the dev is telling me to "move on", wow. So sorry I wasted your precious time with my nonsense, right.

Taking screenshots, resetting my phone, spending hours trying to establish what's going on... Then trying to explain those same screens, to be told that it isn't clear.

Geez, like the Twilight Zone in here. Ok, I'll leave; I can take a hint (thanks for nothing? ;))
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That was not the intention of my comment.

I honestly don't understand what your problem is. I can't judge from screenshots why the number of messages shown or to delete should be correct or not. I can only tell that FairEmail does not make up numbers and that FairEmail will not delete more or less messages than you selected. To solve this, I invited you to explain the issue in some sentences and promised you a clear answer to a clear question.

Be aware that I have been working for almost a year on FairEmail, so it is not very nice to hear that FairEmail is "buggy". So, don't jump to conclusions, but clearly tell what problem you think there is.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
One possibility that comes to my mind is a display setting. If you are using the unified inbox to view your emails, click on the three dots on the top right corner and make sure you did not have some filters selected.

FairEmail is an excellent app but the settings will modify what happens. Take one problem you have and explain that one including pertinent settings that might help someone else try to figure out the problem.

About deleted emails still being in the app:

FairEmail does not delete emails permanently. When you delete an email it goes into a trash folder where you can recover it if needed. How long it stays in that trash folder is under your control. Long press on the trash folder and click on properties. There you can decide how long, etc.

I changed some things to increase performance. Please let me know if you see any difference.
[Android Apps and Games] akrai:
10/10 email client, would suggest a button widget that just syncs all accounts, no reading any mail, just a sync button, for those anxious moments waiting for a new mail
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can pull down to start a sync if you want to know if you have a date, lol.
[Android Apps and Games] akrai:
i know, i don't mean moments that you want to sync in the same minute, i mean moments that you want to sync like every 5 minutes, so opening the app every time is a little bit tedious

Or maybe instead of a widget, a button in the permanent notification
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail synchronizes by default always, so this is not necessary.
[Android Apps and Games] akrai:
i know, but having push enabled drains battery, so i go with periodical syncs for every account, which is enough for me for most of the time, but an external sync button would be awesome for people like me that doesn't like push for the battery consumption
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Depending on the poll interval, using push messages (=always sync) might actually use less battery power, see also the FAQ. Push messages basically just means the connection to the email server is kept alive, which in itself will hardly use any battery power. Nothing will happen if the server doesn't pushes messages. If you have bad connectivity, this might be different though, because restoring the connection is an expensive operation since the local and remote messages need to be compared. Note that polling has this same disadvantage.

If you expect an important message, you can always temporarily switch to always sync. I don't see a need to add something special for this. In fact I am trying to prevent to add special things for special cases because it will make FairEmail harder to use and harder to maintain. A little thing in itself might seem insignificant, but over times this adds up (which is called feature creep).
[Android Apps and Games] Droidphilev:
Just coming in to say thanks to Marcel. I'm a very happy user of the Github version on my phone and the Play version on my Chromebooks. FE is turning into a very good mailclient. Bedankt Marcel!!!
[Android Apps and Games] akrai:
Oh okay, I didnt saw that way, I agree with you

Thanks for your job!
[Android Apps and Games] Legume:
Just tried free version, which does not seem to have ability to add aliases/identities. Am I missing that feature? Does the Pro (paid) version offer it? If so, how do I access it?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq9
[Android Apps and Games] Legume:
Fair Email

Apologies if these questions are redundant but I couldn't seem to locate the answers at github.

(1) Does only the Pro version have the alias/identity feature?

(2) Can FE store aliases so that they don't have to be typed in every time they're needed?

(3) What is the maximum number of email accounts that can be managed in the app?

(4) Can FE manage Kolab Now email?

Imap.kolabnow.com ssl/tls 993

Smtp.kolabnow.com starttls 587

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
I will try to answer:

1. No. Free also. See settings. Number 1 Account, Number 2 identitys

2. Yes, with individual signature

3. I think there is no app maximum.

4. I don't know. But you can set up manual. So every normal imap/pop account should work.

I hope it helps...

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] Legume:
Thank you, Thomas. Really looking forward to mastering this app.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Basically correct, but POP is not supported, see the FAQ about why not.

Alias => identity

[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Sorry, I don't find the answer.

What means "manage folder subscriptions" under miscellaneous in settings?

What is the difference with enable/disable?

Thank you very much,

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see here:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-6.3.6

and here:

https://superuser.com/questions/61585/what-does-it-mean-to-subscribe-to-an-imap-folder
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Sorry Marcel,

I don't understand.

If I subscribe a folder it will be synced.

If I don't subscribe it will not synced.

Right?

But what means this setting?

Manage folder subscription...?

Thank you very much,

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If subscribed folders will be synced depends on the setting to sync only subscribed folders.

Manage folder subscriptions means there will be a menu in the folder properties to subscribe/unsubscribe and that the folder subscription status will be shown (see the legend).

Not many people will use subscriptions.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
And what can I do with subscriptions?

We need sync or not.

What is the Intention?

Thank you for your good explanation.

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You cannot do anything with a subscription, it is just a folder state, subscribed or not, nothing more.
[Android Apps and Games] Legume:
Hey Marcel,

This app is really coming together. I need the ability to use aliases/identities that do not share the domain name with the primary account. For example, I set up my first account as John@cat.com. That account has several aliases that I'd like to use with Fair Email, but those domain names aren't the same as the primary account. They are john@cat-1.com, john@cat-2.com, john@cat-3.com, etc. I'm working in the free FE app right now and cannot edit the domain name. Can I do so after upgrading to the Pro version?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Didn't you ask this before?

You'll need to create an identity for each alias. Set the email address to the alias and use your (SMTP) username and password as login. The username is mostly your main email address.

When composing a message you can select the identity/alias you want to use.

After some updates of lineageOS and fairmail are the crashes and freezes gone.

Thanks for the great program. I hope all users buy the pro version .
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Since there were no changes in FairEmail regarding this problem, it is likely that a LineageOS update fixed this problem.

I wish there were many donations and purchases. Fortunately the main goal of this project is not to make money.
[Android Apps and Games] trancinguy:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases

Sometimes, for example when FairEmail is synchronizing, actions you execute, like marking a message read or moving a message, need to wait until the database can execute the associated transaction. This version will show a small hourglass when FairEmail is still busy executing background task(s) after 1.5 second to show you the action has been recognized.

This version allows you to run a (new) rule on existing messages. Long press the rule in the rule list for a menu with this option.
[Android Apps and Games] taipan01:
Is it possible to start a complete sync of a folder manually without changing the syncronization settings of this folder (is set to 1/∞)?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you mean by complete sync to download all messages: no because the synchronization settings will always be obeyed. Otherwise, you can always start a manual sync by pulling down the list of messages.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.538

Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases

This versions adds the options "mark read" and "move conversation" to the move rule type. This might save a few rules and makes it possible to move a conversation on receiving a specific message. Also, a new notification channel was added for the send service, so it will be easier to see that there are messages being sent / to be sent.
[Android Apps and Games] taipan01:
Maybe it would be a good idea to have an option to enable a complete sync for manual sync? This would cover the usecase of clearing your mailbox on another device (e.g. PC). What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can already set the number of days to synchronize, so there is already an option for this. Adding a kind of override would be confusing.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Hello Marcel,

a little thing I find annoying. If you mark text in an email, the mail will be skipped on the first attempt. Presumably, because above the adress fields and the buttons are disappearing!?

In second try it works. In first you don't mark what you want...

Is this changeable?

Thank you very much,

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is Android behavior that cannot really be fixed by an app. StackOverflow has lots of questions about this. Google is more terrified about the 10,000 developers (!) who are set to work 24 hours a day (!) to develop an alternative for Android for Huawei, so I don't think Google will fix this. I know of dozens of issues reported literally years ago that still aren't fixed, so maybe some real competition is a good thing.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
I found out that I do not have to mark anything. When I open an email and type in the text, the text moves up. That happens also when marking. Can it be that this is a wanted function?

Thanks,

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Expanding a message will scroll it up so most of the message will be visible.

Can you please not include your name, etc in your next comment? This should not be done on forums to save space and increase readability.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
How do I disable the sound notification in FairEmail?

When I manually synchronize my emails, occasionally an email (usually from XDA) pops up as an alert with a sound notification. I don't mind the popup but how do I turn off the associated alert sound?
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Notifications are managed by Android, not by FairEmail.

For Pie, goto Settings, Apps & Notifications, select FairEmail, Notifications, Notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Or in Fairemail - > settings - > site menu - > notifications

It brings you direct to the right menu.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am considering to move this to the main menu. Any thoughts about this?
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
The entire UI of having Quick Setup, Accounts, Identities, etc. under Settings is non intuitive. Even more so, having to then figure out that the app's settings are under Advanced. Having to go one level deeper to access them from the main screen is a bit tedious.

It would be better to classify the stuff on the Settings screen as "Account Management/Setup" or the like, and stuff under Advanced as the actual Settings. Then both of these could easily be listed in the side menu.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This has already been discussed. Most advanced options are not touched or just touched once, so this doesn't justify a place in the main menu, which is for daily use.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Why does that matter? Most app settings are like that. Set and forget. They are usually accessed through the three dot menu or the side menu.

And anyway, the side menu already has enough items to need a scroll bar if you add just two accounts. What's one more item? There is no other menu in the app which requires the extra step of selecting an item from the side menu after you've already selected one.

Also, the daily use argument could be made against the account setup page too. We don't fiddle with accounts and identities on a daily basis.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I think it is pretty neat to have all settings, including the advanced options at one place. Making the advanced options accessible from the main menu would undo that.

I don't want to change the account/identity setup, but I am open to changing the setup navigation menu.
[Android Apps and Games] Lifear:
I have tried FairEmail today the first time. So i have some basic questions:

Where can i set the default font for the e-mail body? For example, I want to send mails with the font Calibri 11pt or maybe Verdana 10. I cant find the setting.

And is there some way, to start everytime in the Inbox folder of the default IMAP account? I can only choose a to start in "Unified Inbox", "Unified Mails" or "Accounts", but not "Inbox of Account XY"

Is IMAP Idle active by default? I haven't found a setting to enable it and disable scheduled sync completely
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can set a monospaced font in the advanced options, but you cannot set a specific font. You can select the font size (three sizes) in the message list menu.

The default is the unified inbox view, which shows all messages of all inboxes. However, you can select any folder for the unified inbox by long pressing it in the folders list.

IMAP IDLE is enabled by default.
[Android Apps and Games] Lifear:
Is it possible that you can add support for fonts like Calibri and/or Verdana? I know, this are Windows specific fonts, but a lot of people (if not the most) use Windows and most of them use Outlook, where Calibri is the most used standard. Before Calibri, it was Verdana. Fonts must not be included in FairEmail, but e-mail layout but the layout should be as close as possible to that of a desktop email client. What i really, really, really like, is your concept of identities. So i can have a standard IMAP account and different SMTP accounts. Really great.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am sorry, but this will not be added.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Sorry, I am uncertain about what you mean by the setup navigation menu. Are you referring to the screen where we manage accounts and Identities? I think it's good. Simple and intuitive.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That is the setup screen, where you can access the advanced options too.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Basically, I think the menu structure is good. The way to the settings is fine. The settings main page includes in my opinion some points that you need only in the first establishment. These could then be deeper in the menu. The actual settings with the many options are a bit expensive to achieve. In addition, many do not think that the content of the Site Bar has changed and now includes advanced settings that can not otherwise be achieved. Basically, a separation should be made, initial setup and general settings. But then you should be able to see everything at a glance.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Since we're discussing intuitive settings menu, where do I find the settings for swiping in the unified inbox? Currently it is set to left swipe for trash and right swipe for archive. Since I don't use archive, I would like to change right swipe to spam folder like I had it in my previous email app but I've looked everywhere and can't find it anywhere in the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
In your account settings at bottom...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The question is: how?
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Hey, what about this?

The Advanced Options are anyway presented in a tabbed layout. The account/identities setup screen could be added as a tab and presented as the first tab upon accessing the menu. This way, you don't need the distinction between Settings and Advanced, and can just have a single side menu item.

New users would be presented with the account setup tab on first run, and after setting it up, they could just swipe right and access the other settings.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is an excellent idea! Thanks.

The current menu items, like export, import, manage notifications, order accounts/folders, etc could go to separate tab pages.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Awesome! That's even better and simplifies the UI further.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

version 1.539

Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases

The main setup has become a tab page in this version [MENTION=7570546]andy356[/MENTION]

This version finally fixes the annoying scroll on select text.

To prevent accidentally leaving the app, you now have to press back twice.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
To translators: "Main" should be translated as "primary" in the sense of "most important" and not contain the word menu as it is used for a tab page.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
I think you should integrate the functions from the sitebar in the new settings page.

Import, Export, sort folder, sort Account...

So you have all in one view...
[Android Apps and Games] LazyT:
In the past it was possible to use aliases and set a sent folder for each of them, is this feature gone?

Normally I would expect an option for this in the identity setup which overrides the sent folder option in the account setup (or move this option from account to identiry?).

I setup an new phone and was wondering...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not sure if this is a good idea because it would result in many tab pages and not all menus need or can be shown on a separate tab page.

I have been thinking about a 'more' tab page, but it wouldn't add much and it would have the disadvantage of being less accessible because you'll need to swipe many times while the navigation menu can be opened with one swipe.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This indirect feature was removed. Sent messages are always stored in the sent folder.

There is a specific reason for this: only this way 'store sent' can be automated.

Suggestion: use rules to move messages.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Import/export is fine in the navigation menu.

It should be separate.

As it is another thing all together. And important to keep in side-menu.

Have not been active here recently, as app has been working quite well.

Also, operations have been much quicker in latest builds.

Some questions:

In setting Main, no 5 could be renamed to open email account/s or something more descriptive than 'read messages', (as technically you can do much more than just read the messages, send new, delete, etc.)

A suggestion for when user is in any other tab than main, first back button press takes you back to main (not cycle back one by one but all the way to main / 1st tab) and next press takes you back to Mail:

Floating button is usually new draft or long click to drafts folder (which is a great addition), but on main account view, folders i guess, it is new folder:

Personally, I do not use folders so I do not see why it should change to create new folder.

Also, most users create different folders once, and not always creating new folders which can cause problems in mobile clients due to restrictions.

And, we also come with other interesting issues, like where is delete folder? If you are allowing to create folders, you should also allow to delete them.
[Android Apps and Games] LazyT:
Wow, that's a pity. So identities are some kind of useless if all messages go to the same folder.

Will look at rules, but I tought they are only for received messages?
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Agree.

Also,

Import/export are important and should be easily accessible.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
How about "go to messages" ?

I don't think it is a good idea to go back to the main tab. Personally, it would annoy me not to leave when I expected to leave.

It would most certainly make other people unhappy, if I removed 'new folder'. To delete a folder, edit a folder and in the menu will be delete. Similarly for accounts and identities.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Rules apply to all messages received from the server, including sent messages.

I will make sure that the next version will also apply rules when using 'store sent'.
