Yes, the subject shows the recipient what happened before.
[Android Apps and Games] mkasimd:
Doesn't it make sense to keep at most two indicators, meaning:

Re: Fwd: subject -> Re: Fwd: subject (response) OR Fwd: Re subject (forward)

Fwd: Re: subject -> Re: Fwd: subject (response) OR Fwd: Re subject (forward)

Especially the case AW: AW: AW: AW: -> Fwd: Aw: Aw: Aw: (forward) makes no sense, it should be just Fwd: Aw: or Fwd: Re:.

That method keep the context sufficiently, but won't result in recursive indicators which would give even lesser overview in the worst case.
[Android Apps and Games] Flexmaen:
I can understand that concern - let's try with the examples I used before (see comparison there):

Original subject	optimal output when replying	optimal output when forwarding
Fwd: Fwd: WG:	Re: Fwd:	Fwd:
AW: WG:	Re: Fwd:	?
AW: AW: AW: AW:	Re:	Fwd: Re:
Fwd: WG:	Re: Fwd:	Fwd:
Re: Fwd:	Re: Fwd:	? Fwd: Re: Fwd:
WG:	Re: Fwd:	Fwd:

I think it does make sense to replace these things when the same prefix appears twice or more often after each other, it also makes sence to count Fwd: and WG: as duplicate.

The cases that are unclear in this case: If I forwared a reply to a forwarded message, should this be left as "Fwd: Re: Fwd"?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
I have to come back to the prefixes in the subject, Marcel. It is undisputed that this gives you a small information advantage over the knowledge gained from the mail text. But this information advantage is actually only useful if it results in different actions, e.g. you are more likely to delete answered forwardings or forwarded replies immediately or read them less often or later than mails without these prefixes. I can't imagine that you (or anyone) makes the further handling of a mail dependent on these prefixes. Here, in any case, it is decided on the basis of completely different criteria whether a mail is deleted, moved, read immediately or later.

Hi what’s the difference between playstore eddit and GitHub edition? I have paid on play store for pro . Is it worth to switch to GitHub edition for some extra features? And if so will I retain my pro license? Thank you

There is basically no difference.

You can't use Play store purchases outside of the Play store. The Play store rules do not allow this as well.

Hi, cool new Feature to make the notes more prominent. Appreciate it.

By applying this to an email I realised following: I copied an email to to be located in two different folders. A color change in the note did not only affect the changed email but also the copied one. Is the copy only a reference or a real copy?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The copy is a real copy, but notes and colors will be applied to messages with the same message ID.
[Android Apps and Games] mitza97:
@M66B, can you help me please to point me to correct direction, as i don't know how to add a second sender email to an existing rule? It is possible this? Anything i have tried, don't work.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can either use a regex (see the FAQ) or copy the rule and change the email address. The latter is simpler to maintain and less error prone.

You can copy a rule by long pressing it in the list.

Is there any way to get rid of unified folder? I just need accounts and its folders, one by one.

f. e.

MAIL1@1.com-->inbox,sent,trash;

MAIL2@2.com-->inbox,sent,trash;

and so on
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In the display settings you can select accounts as start screen, which is I guess you want.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
The most used folders are showing only a few characters and are abbreviated with... In this constellation I don't find it useful. Are there any other opinions?

Could you limit the number of suggestions to two if a string is too much shortened? Or list them below each other?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I could reduce the number to two, but listing them below each other is IMHO not a option because of the space it will take. This is the whole reason I have been hesitant to add this feature from the beginning. It is fine if you have a bigger screen and less nice if you have a smaller screen.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
I don't see that - where you find it?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The folder name wil be abbreviated depending on the length of the name and available space (maximum about one third of the width of the dialog).
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Yes, but what must one do to see the most used folders?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Just select them in the folder selection dialog. The most selected ones will be shown the next time. This is handy if you move messages often to the same folders.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Ah, if one move manually ... and has no rule for that .... ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Yep, I see. I would argue exactly like you regarding listing them below each other.

My concept (coming from Google's tagging) is to have only a few folders to get the emails sort quickly. Therefore the names are a bit longer. E. G. "Bank und Versicherungen". Fairmail shows "...rsicherung". Hm

I would implement to show three folders like it is. But I would do the abbreviation not at the beginning but at the end. This is somehow strange to read (see example above) since most of the human being are reading from left to right.

Let's see how it feels then. I could imagine that it is much better. If it is still hard to operate you could (if it's programmatically not too complex) limit the suggestions to two if a folder string is too much shortened.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Most of the time it is not necessary to assign such long folder names. For example, instead of 'Banken und Versicherungen', you could name the folder 'Finanzen'. That would be much shorter.

And in addition, you could use rules for different senders, then you will never be confronted with this space limitation anyway, but you would still have your mails in the desired folder.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
hey marcel , alias @M66B ; this just started yesterday which i plan on fixing by deleteing the top 3 emails. but have you ever seen this ? kinda crazy. lol
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Consider [Gmail]/All messages. Wherever the folder name is abbreviated there is always a problem. My estimation is that the end part will be the most relevant in most cases. Choices need to be made.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It seems to me that you've set an importance for some of the messages. These will be sorted on top or at the bottom depending on the importance.
[Android Apps and Games] Stig124:
Hello,

I have an inconvenience with the "reply to list" feature, there is no way to include the previous messages in the answer :

Use case here : I'm quite active in openSUSE mailing lists, but every answer is completed with the complete feed to not get new participants lost, I know I can use Reply to All feature but I don't want to send 2 copies (or delete the sender each and every time) to the same people only the list is requested

Is there a way that that could be implemented please?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
List owners generally do not like it if all prior content is included with each message, which is why it works as it does.

What you can do, is select the text you want to include before list replying. This works for "normal" replies too.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
naw , no importance set. although that would explain it.

went ahead with plan and deleted last 3 emails so i'll see what happens and report back.

thank you for quick response and idea of what might be happening.:good:
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Sorry to say but I find this design decision not reasonable
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:

[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
@M66B , thanks for your help. i double checked just to make sure i hadnt set an "importance" for any mail or folder and none found.

so i sent 2 test mails to myself (after i had deleted the top 3) and mail is now coming in in order of time and day.

maybe just a one time glitch? maybe my rom glitch? idk , but all is back to normal. thanks again for your help and dedication.

stay well ,

[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
I haven't understand the rules completely. What happens (and what are the consequences even with other clients) if I define a rule?

I assume the email is moved automatically from fairmail. Some questions in fairmail:

- if sync is deactivated for this folder what happens?

- is the email still shown in my inbox or can I miss the email?

- what happens with the rule if I opened the email with another client during deactivated mobile connection

For other clients:

- what happens in other clients if the rule was applied? Can I miss the email there? (I use thunderbird on my private desktop as well a Web client for my office desktop)
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
If you move a mail A to the destination folder B by rule (and do not copy it), then of course you will only see it in the destination folder B - and this in all clients (IMAP assumed), i.e. in FE as well as in TB. Therefore, it would certainly be a good idea to switch on the new mail notification for this destination folder in FE (long press on the folder) and the sync.

Hello to all of you, FairEmail users and enthusiasts.

I am relatively new to FairEmail but have been reading this topic from page 860 to 915, to keep sort of up to date with the latest news and discussions.

I know that FairEmail have commonly standard values but, if possible, I was wondering if some of you could offer your "2 cents" about the following options:

- Require a valid (checked) connection. I don't use VPN. When should it enabled?

- Disconnect tracker protection list. Should enable to track images? Does it have an impact on battery?

I hope I am not off topic.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Luis.

Btw, highest modseq is enabled by default since version 1.1552, right?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can probably enable the option to use a checked connection only. Just try and you'll know.

Using Disconnect's tracker list will not result in extra battery usage.

Highest modseq is enabled by default for everybody now. I have not seen any problems with this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Since I got two reports that automatic updating doesn't work anymore: do you still get an update notification if there is a new GitHub update?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Except for the one time when you announced V 1.1557 here in the thread, but it wasn't on Github at the same time, everything has been running as usual so far.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
yup. sure do.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
#metoo ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] spawnlives:
Since you mention it i used to get updates notification from Github but the last few updates i have not received any notification except from Github email notices and have to manually check to received notification to update.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Did you the manual update check (long press 'About') work? Did you maybe disable checking for updates in the miscellaneous settings or switched to checking weekly?

In any case the issue has been explained: the update notification channel was disabled in this specific case.
[Android Apps and Games] spawnlives:
Did you the manual update check (long press 'About') work?- Yes long press about button gives update notification.

In the miscellaneous settings:

Check for Github updates is on

Check weekly instead of daily is off
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If the manual update works, the automatic update should work too. Maybe you installed new versions faster than the check for an update occurred ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] spawnlives:
Could be i usually update as soon as i get the e-mail from Github.

Next release i'll wait to see if it gives me a update notification.
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
I've opened FE and I got the update notification right now, so it works perfectly.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
The confusion is probably caused by the fact that FE is limited to check Github for an update only every few hours. That can result in getting the email notification from Github first.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
I also get github updates. No issue
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The Play store reviews of the last few days are pretty disappointing to say the least. Some nice reviews would be appreciated.

Sometimes I am wondering why I am running this project anyway.

Somebody shared this German article with me, which is pretty to the point:

Luca-App versus Open Source

Die Luca-App enthält Code aus einem Open-Source-Projekt, hat aber dessen Lizenz verletzt. Die zugehörige Meldung bestimmte die Schlagzeilen der vergangenen Wochen. Doch was genau ist eigentlich Open Source, was ist der Unterschied zu Freier Software, und was lässt sich über Open Source lernen?

Hi to you all,

Just a quick question regarding the return receipt message/template.

I just browsed the FAQ but did not find any answer. Is the default return receipt message editable anywhere in FairEmail, or do I have to create a template and every time I send a return receipt delete/replace the default message with my template.

As Portuguese speaking person I would rather have a return receipt message in Portuguese.

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,

Luis
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The read receipt message will be in the language(s) of your device. Note that you can select multiple languages in the Android settings, if you are using a recent Android version and that the read receipt will be multi lingual too.
[Android Apps and Games] no.one.writeme:
@M66B,

Ok, I see, I usually use my device in English only.

In case I want a different ( content ) return receipt message, then I must create a template, right?

Best regards,

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Try selecting Portuguese as second language in the Android system settings.
[Android Apps and Games] no.one.writeme:
I understood that to send a return receipt in Portuguese I should add Portuguese as second language.

What I was asking was if I wanted a different receipt message like "Relatório de Entrega: Lida.", then I must create a template, right?

I quote myself

- if sync is deactivated for this folder what happens?

- is the email still shown in my inbox or can I miss the email?

- what happens with the rule if I opened the email with another client during deactivated mobile connection
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
A I said, you see the mail only in your inbox if you copy instead of move otherwise you have to look in the destination folder.

If you only open the mail in TB (an not delete them) the rule will be execute if the mail arrived on your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If sync is disabled, nothing will happen.

If you move a message with a rule, it will be shown in the target folder only.

If a rule matches, it will be executed, independent on when the message arrives on the device.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
But if the mail not arrive on the device there is no matching and therefor also no rule-execution.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
True, if the message never arrives, no rules will be executed.

Hello again,

I followed the FAQ How can I synchronize Gmail categories? to replicate the behavior of the GMail app and to avoid notifications from emails from gmail categories. ( Ex. Promotions goes to label Promo with a rule no to go to inbox (archive it) ).

In FairEmail I set the Promo folder not to issue notifications and to synchronize. Should I synchronize Promo periodically 1x15min or continuous synchronize? Which is more battery friendly? or causes less expensive action?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Luis.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you want to prevent the message from appearing in the inbox, the best solution would be to always sync = push messages. Just take care that you don't exceed the maximum number of simultaneous connections. For the rest there are no disadvantages.
[Android Apps and Games] no.one.writeme:
Hi @M66B,

I configured in FairEmail two gmail accounts and was testing two different configurations.

In one account I skip inbox and apply the label Promo to the email and set Promo as manual sync.

On the other account I do the same but with synchronization.

So if I understand you correctly on the other account if I do Always Sync = push messages I just have to label Promo to the email and it will skip inbox. Is that correct?

Thank you for your time,

Best regards,

Luis

BTW, I am loving FairEmail. Thanks.

If the inbox is skipped, it doesn't matter if the target folder is synchronized continuously or periodically.

@M66B

Hi,

Thank you for you time. I now have FairEmail to my liking.

One more thing, I am seeing in FairEmail logs some disconnects, I believe that is due to "WIFI power saving mode" in my Samsung device, it switches between Mobile and WIFI. I disabled it to analyze it further.

I leave you with one suggestion if you find it useful. Regarding the return receipt issue, since FairEmail has a Template functionality, would it be to much time consuming adding the possibility of choosing/setting a template as a replacement of the return receipt/signature? Kind a quick way to change either one on the fly at compose time with the possibility to make it default overriding the identify configuration.

It's just a tough, because sometimes depending to whom you sending/replying an email you would like to change return receipt ( more/less formal ) or signature ( more/less casual ).

Thank you again for your help and availability.

Best regards,

Luis
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
You have the functionality always now. Click on the answer-button and select 'reply with template'.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
@no.one.writeme via the navigation menu (left side menu), create a template and tick to show it directly in the answer menu (=favorite).
[Android Apps and Games] no.one.writeme:
@M66B, @fraschi51 ,

Thank you for your time.

Yes I already discovered that function of the Templates.

My suggestion was not like replying/sending a email with a predefined template, but, changing the identity return receipt / signature on the fly.

Now when sending a return receipt, the only option is the predefined message which is translated depending the device language. For me I find it to formal when sending a return receipt to certain people/entities. So I have to delete the predefined message and then insert a template. My suggestion was to have an option to replace the default return receipt message with a template and possible make it default. The same goes to the identity signature, if you would like to change it while writing an email you have to go back to settings.

I don't know if expressed myself correctly. Regardless it is just a suggestion.

Best regards,

Luis.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Sorry, but why do you click on return receipt if you don't want this. As said click on 'reply with template' - ready.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I can't add a setting for everything, sorry. As it is, there are already enough questions about the number of options, and unfortunately also complaints and bad reviews, which do not particularly motivate me to add more options. The general rules is that at least a few dozen people need to ask for an option and for now you are the only one have asked for this.

If you want to use different signatures, you can use different identities and select the one you need at the top of the message composer.

Hello!Any hope of adding option "search" in inbox specific email?Some mails are very big and i am bored to search manually content!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you mean searching in the message text, you can do this via the horizontal three dots menu just above the message text. Note that this is possible in the reformatted message only (so, not when using the original message view, which isn't possible due to limitations of the Android WebView).
