Marcel, can you make these options autosave, i.e stored as soon as one is changed? I always forget to scroll down to the Save button when I change something (and then left wondering why it doesn't work).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Some folder changes require a restart of the background service to be applied and I think it is confusing if save is needed for some options and not for other options.

Which options do you want this for? Maybe they can be added to the long press menu instead (next to 'Edit properties').

Edit: I am thinking of:

- show in unified inbox

- show in navigation menu
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
What about stopping forgetting ?
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
That's a great idea. I often change Show in unified inbox and ... navigation menu, depending on the project I work on. For others, Notify new messages might be handy too.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Simple tip to reduce the number of messages in your inbox: answer and archive them. An app cannot fix this for you. Edit: another tip: create rules to move messages to folders by topic.

IMHO messages should always be sorted on unread and received time. All other sort options are for specific situations, like handling starred messages. IMO there are already enough sort options and the same sort order for all folders is clear and transparent. I have no plans to change this and as a matter of fact there is a new feature stop (excluding small improvements like discussed recently).

I have been working on this project for almost a year now and at a certain point it is enough, which is about now.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Thank you Marcel.

I have to rethink about my Situation.

I understand your standing and Feature stop.

It is a great app!

I hope you will implement new good ideas in future.

One thing should be a little bug.

If you create a folder and set the settings, sync, show in unified...

Then you save.

After this the folder is there but not the settings.

So you have to set these new with long press and edit...

Collapsing Folder structure

Hi,

until now I'm using the app maildroid. But this app (with a nice folder structure handling) is dead, no further development. Fairmail is an interesting alternativ with a very activ devolopment.

My problem: I own more the 1000 folders (imap separator is /), therefore my question:

Is there a change to get a collapsing folder structure in FairEmai? Possibly only in the pro version, which would be ok from my point of view, too
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is a collapsible folder structure ...
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
forgive me, may be i'm blind. But what I see is this (attachment).

What should I do?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Child folders can only be collapsible if their parent exists, which is a requirement of the IMAP standard.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Ok, thank you! 50% success.

After creating parent foldes, every folder in the overview is collapsible.

But: if i read a mail and want to move the mail to a specific folder (clicking on the the folder icon while displaying the mail) all my folders > 1000 are displayed. Scrolling is painful, no collapsing option.

Is there another problem on my side?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The folder selection list is lineair (not collapsible).

I can't imagine that you want to see all those 1,000+ folders on your mobile device, which is also not a good idea for battery life, so subscribe to the folders you really want to see on your device and enable the advanced option 'Synchronize subscribed folders only'.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Your are rigth, I won't see all of my folders. But I want to save an email e.g. to Leute/john_doe for example. But in my case, I have to scroll down to "L" . And there are many, many expanded folders above!

Unsubscribing is'nt a good idea for me. May be I want to save an email to one of these (above "L").
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not sure if it is a good idea to make the folders in the selection dialog collapsible. Any opinions on this?
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
I wouldn't mind, if the state (collapsed/not collapsed) for each folder would be stored between sessions, for each folder. Alternative is yet another on/off setting...

[Android Apps and Games] Fif_:
I've been trying to use the inbox as sent email folder, but the inbox doesn't seem to be available in any of the folder pickers for sent/spam/archive/etc folders.

Why not?

Another question: will IMAP virtual folders be supported?

These are used by some clients instead of actual folders for Spam and Trash?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
All system folders have special purposes and associated logic. Therefore you cannot use the inbox as a sent folder. For example, FairEmail displays the 'from' address in the inbox and the 'to' address in the sent folder.

FairEmail supports all folders the IMAP server reports to be available. FairEmail works correctly with Gmail, which uses labels instead of folders.

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=2932933]ouzowtf[/MENTION] if you (temporarily) enable debug mode in the latest version, there will be a UUID shown. This randomly generated identifier is used to send error reports.

[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Done :)
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Wow I'm impressed!

Please use the collapsible folder selector in the account setup also while defining Archive, Spam and so on folder.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You could show your appreciation with a donation:

https://email.faircode.eu/donate/

The next version will likely use the folder selector for the account folders too.

Edit: there is a practical problem with this: the folder structure will be decoded in a later stage. Also, mostly the right folders are selected automatically already and else it will be just a one time thing.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Hello Marcel,

it would be good to give the undo option for all move actions.

If I wish left or right I get the undo option.

If I move for example through Archiv Button I get no undo possibilty.

Or If I select a folder manually.

Thanks,

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There will be no undo option for this because there is little chance you will do this accidentally. By default each move needs to be confirmed. If you disabled this, you can enable it again in the advanced options, section behavior. Otherwise, you can always move the message(s) easily back.

The swipe left/right is more easily done accidentally, which is why there is an undo.

Edit: another reason is that it would interfere with auto close and auto next.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Ok, I understand.

I just wanted to edit an older email in the inbox. But opened the wrong mail and then typed on archive. Since it was an older mail, I did not find it so easy in the archive. Hence the idea. I have now activated the feature. Confirmation. But I find it actually more pleasant to be able to work quickly, without confirmation. If necessary, the undo possibility. Probably a matter of taste.

Thank you,

Thomas

[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Marcel, can you explain the difference between the Inbox and Verzonden items folders vs. Afgehandeld and In behandeling? Settings for all folders are identical. The latter two are always waiting for next sync, although they do sync normally.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I guess you are using Gmail. The user folders (in contrary to system folders) are by default set to poll to avoid this problem:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq23

If you like, you can disabled this in the folder properties (long press folder in the folder list), but beware of the maximum of 15 folders to synchronize on all devices.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Sorry, I forgot the screenshot (edited previous post). This is not Gmail.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This can also happen if the provider (which one?) does not support push messages, although it is odd that not all folders are set to polling. There will be a warning in the account setup if this is the case.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
This account runs at Intermax, I've heard they are moving their mail servers to one of their subsidiaries. Maybe they've changed policies untie process. I didn't get any warning however, as far as I can recall.

With this version, the collapsed folders don't look pretty anymore. I have some subfolders under Inbox. Before, only the name of the folder was shown, not it's "INBOX.Folder1" oder "INBOX.Folder1.Folder2".

Do I need to configure the sepator anywhere? It's a dot here.

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
BBS says that FairEmail is using the accelerometer, which it really isn't.

Edit: I have done a case insensitive search in all project files, including all binary files, and the only instances of the word 'sensor' is in ExifInterface, which is used to get the rotation of images.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:

Could it be that this instance is allways open and so it occurs to wakelocks through moving the Smartphone?

It is the only app which is in this list...

[MENTION=2267092]ths180[/MENTION] after quite some searching I figured out that Bugsnag, used for error reporting, is causing this:

XPrivacyLua still reports Privacy.SensorManager.getSensorList at opening?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Actually, I used XPrivacyLua to figure out where the sensor was used ;)

Edit: it is correct that the sensor list is queried. For now FairEmail disables the sensor after initializing the Bugsnag client, but before it is started. I have asked the people of Bugsnag to add a configuration item to disable sending orientation information.

[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Is this 'only' one level deep? Might be preferable when displaying sub-subfolders in the Unified inbox, but it looks funny in an expanded folder list.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No, this is not just one level deep. I guess you previously did set an account prefix: see the release announcement.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
I removed the account prefix before installing 1.517.

What used to be INBOX.folder without the account prefix in 1.516, now correctly displays as folder. But INBOX.folder.subfolder still displays as folder.subfolder.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
To fix that, you'll need to setup the account again.

Background: this could be done automatically by erasing all folder display names, but this will most certainly make people unhappy who have manually set folder display names.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Okidoki, I understand.

I noticed a little bug while restoring settings: when I created folder notifications, channel appeared in the same section as Gmail account channel. I did a clean install and restored latest settings I backed up just before reinstall and folder notification channel where restored as contact channels (in addition, one of folder has its channel in notification settings in system settings but in fairemail it appears without custom notifications)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not sure what you mean by "in the same section as Gmail account channel" because I am not sure what you mean by "section" and whether you mean the Gmail app or Gmail account of FairEmail.

Account and folder notification channels are not grouped in any case.

Creating folder channels in the contacts group is a bug however I will fix.

Edit: should notification channels be restored when importing settings anyway?
[Android Apps and Games] famusc:
I'll show you (I'm talking about Gmail account in Fairemail app):

When i created folder channels for the first time all channels where in "Altro" group.

When I restored, they where all put in "Contatti" group.

In addition, the channels in green are actually not linked to the respective folders: in Fairemail, there's the option to create a new notification channel and not the one to modify an existing channel

You ask "should notification channels be restored when importing settings anyway?": I really don't know what's the best answer. If you have few, maybe not. If you a have a lot, maybe it should. But I really don't know

what do you think of the tablet mode in landscape orientation to make the distribution slidable. On my Galaxy Tab S4, the half split is a bit unfavorable.

The conversation list view performance was improved in this version and ROOM version 2.0 was restored to fix waiting for database transactions.

The inline original (HTML) message view has been removed. I have been trying to keep this for a long time and actually put a lot of effort into it with all kind of workarounds and hacks, but the WebView, needed for showing HTML, is simply unsuitable for displaying in a list. After improving the performance of the conversation list it didn't work anymore, so it was really time to remove it.

The full screen original message view is still there and is easily accessible. To ease the pain somewhat, the full original message will now show images by default.

Please report any issue you find.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Great changes in this Version! Thank you for your effort.

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
I think it's a logical decision, not because of all the work, but simply because the original message view seemed out of place in the message list. For me, the message list is there for quick view and safety.

On the other hand, I would like to have images in the full screen message view hidden until I decide to see them. Preferably one by one, by clicking on the image placeholder/icon, and maybe with a 'Load all images' button above the message. Messages can contain images that I really don't want, like tracking images, or that I don't need, like company and 'scanned by X' logo's.
[Android Apps and Games] Hiroo Onoda:
Love the current alpha. There used to be a slight delay when launching FairEmail. Kinda weird because all other apps were launching snappy as. That's gone now.

Small bug: When using the search feature from within the email view (above the 'From:' line) and hitting return to go back to the message, the down and up navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen will disappear.
