I will add blank lines for new messages too.
[Android Apps and Games] Kelvino9:
Thank you, Marcel!
[Android Apps and Games] LazyT:
Confirm messages, but images not? A little bit inconsistent. ;)

For user satisfaction you should add an option for disabling these features, also the "open with" every time clicking an attachment. It's ok to warn the user, but then open with user default app.

I know it's the wrong time to ask, but i guess you have overlooked my post because we wrote at the sime time?

Thanks again and keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Instead, I will add a confirmation for showing images too.

See the FAQ, already referenced today for a similar reason, about why there won't be a setting for this. tl;dr; if your privacy isn't worth one extra tap, FairEmail is not for you.

I didn't overlook your comment, you overlooked mine. Anyway, I have changed my mind about this because your use case isn't a common one and I like to keep things as simple as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] distopico:
I only modified the copyright in the files modified by me and in the readme to distinguish the version like the FAQ of GPL says:

"Many versions of Emacs have been made outside the GNU Project, but users can tell them apart. The GPL requires the maker of a version to place his or her name on it, to distinguish it from other versions and to protect the reputations of other maintainers."

and similar like k-9 do it in the NOTICE file:

"K-9 Mail

Copyright 2008-2016, K-9 Mail Developers

Copyright 2005-2016, The Android Open Source Project"

or in the LICENSE of Gitea:

"Copyright (c) 2016 The Gitea Authors

Copyright (c) 2015 The Gogs Authors"

Probabily I'll move the README part to a NOTICE file or AUTHORS file like "mediagoblin" mede it.

Because the project looks a little closed on the way to make contributions, didn't have an issue tracker and the contribution guide say "Please contact me first to tell me what your plans are.", so everything redirects to a form, normally in other project is "made a fork,-> send a PR -> accepts some conditions" but contact the author to make contributions is a little strange for open/free software.

Another reason is when I contact asking for if the pro features are GPL or open source and if a place to see it the answer by email was a little rude, and the way to get that pro features is unclear and always redirect to play-store so a decision to made fork to a more friendly software with F-droid.

I don't have the plan to release simpleEmail in play store and I know every developer need money to eat and live, I suppose that is your job and with another project, but F-droid don't have many email client options, probably the focus will be a little different and more community for SimpleEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] BunnyWarrior:
Making this app closed source is literally the only thing Marcel could do to make me remove this app from my device instantly and never ever donate another buck. Let the users pay for it - I don´t mind paying for open source stuff. If the fork is violating the license take action against it. But closing the source code due to some "unwanted" use is not how Open Source works. There is already to much centralization and security by obscurity in this world.
[Android Apps and Games] LazyT:
I know the FAQ, but you have complained that only few users use FairEmail.

Users want to set up an app according to their ideas and don't want to be told how to use it. So you can force your opinion and live with fewer users or you can offer options and win more users. ;)

Sorry, but this is a basic thing of an mail client. :confused:

But I can understand that you're pissed off right now and I hope you change your mind later...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is no GitHub issue tracker (anymore) because GitHub issues tend to be misused.

Contacting me first about contributions is to make sure you are not going to do things which will not be merged anyway, for example because they don't fit into the project goal, and to exchange/improve ideas before starting development.

If I sounded rude in my response, my excuses for that. That was certainly not my intention. If this was because of a short answer, know that I handle dozens of emails regarding my open source projects each day and that I have other things to do too.

As a side note: the pro features are easily available outside of the Play store.

It seems to me that we started on the wrong foot and I want to invite you to contribute to the project instead of maintaining a fork.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If this feature was a basic feature, I would have added it, but in my opinion it is not. So far, you are the only one who asked for this. Most people don't have multiple sent folders. Maybe I will add it later anyway, but no promises.

A general note: don't make assumptions about my mood.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
To be clear: I am not planning to make FairEmail closed source.

The short term goal is to get a decent development device again (my Chromebox has been returned for warranty today) and to stabilize FairEmail (=fix remaining bugs). Minor features might be added, but my old Chromebook is too slow for serious development work.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=4170684]LazyT[/MENTION] if you are not lazy, lol, there is a workaround: setup the same account multiple times, but with a different sent folder. Since the latest version allows you to select the account while composing, you can indirectly choose to which folder the sent message should go.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
A little late:

The colour only applies to the action buttons, mark read, archive, trash.

Just a note, it is still 2018

(Note yet 2019, anywhere in this world at least)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't think you are running the latest version or maybe not the latest Android version.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
1.151

But, not latest android. Still 7.1.1
[Android Apps and Games] LazyT:
No problem, would be boring if we all had the same opinion. :D For me this is part of the handling for identities, like Thunderbird does.

That's fair enough for me. :good:

Unfortunately, I am. :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Different Android versions/variants can and will display notifications different. I will keep the notification colors as they are now.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
How about one advanced 'privacy mode' settings to enable/disable all confirmations and maybe more privacy related stuff, like secure connections and empty passwords?

This would in fact be renaming/extending an existing advanced setting.
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
Hem... did'nt you say "bugs corrections only" ? :D
[Android Apps and Games] JLowe:
Concerning identities: Would it be possible without big circumstances to have additional own names for the identifies i.e. name for identify is xda, name jlowe, email is abc@email.com and a possibility of change the order of your like?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Identities already have names associated. I don't see why another name should be added.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
I do not think it is such a good idea, as one is completely different than the other.

Secure connections is a clear risk, whereas confirmations for opening attachments is not risky for users that use specific app for files.

Allow insecure connections should be kept as is.

Bunching up settings option should not be solution.

[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Always crashes at the start for me
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
remove the useless taps. more simple and effecient.

and you give permission to everybody to have unsecure behaviour (?)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Unfortunately, this means you'll have to reinstall FairEmail :(
[Android Apps and Games] folusmile:
Same here too
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Same for me. :(
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have removed version 1.152 from GitHub because it is causing unexpected problems.
[Android Apps and Games] tbv2005:
Alread,y apologize for the question, but where can I find the signatures (or do is "reply template" meant by that)?

PS: didn't had a crash even at the first start (OP5t with stock OOS 5.1.5)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can define a signature in an account.

Did you upgrade to version 1.152 from an earlier version?
[Android Apps and Games] folusmile:
Can't login again in the lastest beta version so painful.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not sure what you mean ...
[Android Apps and Games] folusmile:
Trying to to create my account again. Gmail won't login. Failed
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see the FAQ for solutions.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Took a while, but worked. Even with Gmail accounts.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Sorry for the trouble guys. I had tested this and it worked for me.
[Android Apps and Games] folusmile:
1.151 worked. Solved.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I had already put some effort into changing the database structure and unfortunately that was not a success. Worse is that I don't see a solution and that it has to happen to not delete messages when deleting identities.

The next version will start with no data, so better prepare for that now by exporting the settings and to take note of your passwords.
[Android Apps and Games] positivetourettes:
Multiple select in a pro version, is this a joke? wow
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Multiple select is a convenience feature and therefore a pro feature.
[Android Apps and Games] tbv2005:
Ok, regarding signature, I will check tomorrow again ( as just coming back from a football game and I'm pretty sure I'm reaaly blind).

Regarding upgrade to 1.152 :just already drafted a long text but to be sure went back to thread. You must have taken down the download during I created my post (and the 2nd "same for me") as my latest download in file explorer is just 1.151... Apologize for confusion....!
[Android Apps and Games] LazyT:
What do you think about protecting the exported settings with a master password so the account passwords can be stored encrypted and import is only be possible with the master password?

Without giving a master password on export the settings are stored without the account passwords like before.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Maybe I will add this later.
[Android Apps and Games] Danmann:
If you're using openkeychain you can encrypt the file with your key/s.

YOU'LL NEED TO SETUP THIS VERSION AGAIN !!!

I have spent some more time on fixing the database upgrade, but I couldn't find a way to workaround the Android ROOM bug :(
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Should I uninstall the previous version?

I've updated now, imported the previous settings, added the passwords for all accounts, but it still says To do at Manage accounts and at Manage identities, the button is greyed out but it still says To do.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is not required to uninstall the previous version, but it is advised to save on storage space.

My best guess is that you have entered the passwords, but forgot to enable synchronizing.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
You're right, I didn't do that. I assumed sync settings were also retained in the settings export.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] : Since a few releases, there are 2 settings for colors (account and identities).

Identities colours have priority on account colours.

Knowing that, what is the interest to keep account colors ? (just the names of accounts keep the account colors)

According to your answer, may be I will make a suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The account color will be used for the navigation menu and for messages for which no identity was found.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am considering to export the settings with passwords again, since this is more convenient and as you suggest, if desired, you can encrypt the export file yourself.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Is there an interest or a limitation to keep the priority of identities colours on account colours ?

If not, to have the colours at the same level of priority could be interesting. For example, if inbox and sent messages are mixed in unified box, the colours would do a kind of sorting.

(the base of FairEmail is :

- accounts setups are for received messages

- identities setups are for sent messages)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, because not everybody will use identity colors.

I am not sure what you mean.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
If somebody doesn't use identity (or identity colour), there's no "problem", account color is displayed.

Example :

I have 2 accounts named provider1 and provider2.

Provider1 has an account (inbox) with blue, and an identity (send) with red.

Provider2 has an account (inbox) with yellow, and an identity (send) with green.

If for these 2 providers the inbox and send folders are displayed in unified box, you will have 4 different colours which can help to see (sort) the different acounts/identities.
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]

I am on 1.151 and from time to time, the first line (or first 2 lines ?) of a mail are hidden behind "show original" button. And if i click on the button and go bak in the previous screen, the text is all shown.

How could i manage to give you usable information about that ? Should i forward you the mail ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have notice that too and I will look into it.

Edit: this should be fixed in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=4170684]LazyT[/MENTION] what I will do, is replace the 'store sent' option by a 'store a copy in ...' option. In this way the option will be useful even when 'store sent' is not needed.
[Android Apps and Games] pearljohn:
Thanks for 1.153

All good and opening messages seems a lot faster for me.

Yes, I am - thanks again!

[Android Apps and Games] iamkrishna321:
Nice idea

:p
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Amazing choice of security to let the passwords clearly readable.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
As discussed before, you can encrypt the export file easily with OpenKeychain.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Yes. Would skip beta now and once this is introduced update. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The idea is that you keep the file safe yourself, for example by encrypting it or by storing it in a safe place.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
An answer ?

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78146803&postcount=2743
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't see a question.

Edit: if you want to use account colors, use account colors, if you want to use identity colors, use identity colors, if you want to use both, use both. Everything is optional.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Regarding settings export, the created file is always empty for me.

Tested with 1.151 and 1.154 on OxygenOS 5.0.6
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please try to export again, wait until the export finishes (there will be a message) and send me directly thereafter the debug info (latest version: long press 'support'). Please mention the time of the export.

Edit: I like to know where you export to (local folder or remote folder, like Google Drive).
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
I think it is strange too. One moment you want to keep us safe from accidentally opening attachments with potentially unsafe apps, and then you let us store unencrypted passwords on our phones, and expect us to encrypt them for ourselves or move them 'to a safe place'. As if a safe place for unencrypted passwords can ever exist. Not very consistent.

Hi M66B,

I just want to report a error.

I use the latest version (0.11) .

Often when i go out of the app and then want to open it again (via launcher) i get a crash.

When i try it a second time after the app crash it works again.

I sent you the debug e-mail. I hope it's enough info for you.

Edit: The earlier mentioned error (delete e mails leads sometimes to a app crash) still exists by me. Not often but nevertheless i sent you a debug e mail regarding this too.
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
Good morning,

I spend my holidays in a remote area where adsl is very buggy especially on evenings.

Yesterday it was impossible for me to add a second account, as I said. I tried many times on 2 devices.

This morning, no problem at all.

Seems that your app got an unexpected net response while I was completing the fields and resetted them?

All is ok now, on my 2 devices.

Hope this helps.

[edit]

I have 2 accounts, on infomaniak (thanks for adding this provider) and ovh.

When I send a mail to my ovh account, it appears in the account inbox (labeled "user") but not in the unified inbox.

When I edit any account to check the folders, the save button disappears max 12 seconds after clicking on check. On OVH i have to set another time all the folders to their correct value (very fast as I have 12 seconds max) (for example INBOX.INBOX.sent) and afterwards my inbox label becomes "inbox" and at that moment it's ok whith my unified inbox.

One last problem : my yellow button (new message) disappears and i can only see it again when I'm in any individual folder of an account (except outbox).

Hope all of this is clear, and helps.

Hi M66B

I notice a issue.

It's not a big issue because the app doesn't crash. I get only a error notification.

The Error Message is the following:

'StartMail/Sent Messages' failed

seen without uid

Any idea why i get this issue or how i can fix this?

Thx in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] glops:
That would be great :good:

With the version 0.11 or 0.12 there is a problem of backup of the files

when one uses more than one adesse email and it is the last box add that works well

it would be nice to add all the folders of the mail box and to have the possibility to hide some folders

This version should fix all reported bugs.

Unfortunately, the database got corrupted when configuring multiple accounts, so you'll have to setup accounts and identities once more :(

Please keep reporting the problems you encounter.
[Android Apps and Games] glops:
its good Thank you :good:

there is still that

1- when I add a second box email as soon as I begins to complete the field "User name"

the previous fields erase it is necessary to finish of complete "User name"

and to go back to reselect again the mail box and there it's good the fields are keep

2- unable to view the attachments carrying the download is successful
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I cannot reproduce the problem with adding an account. Assuming you are using the latest version: can you make a video of this?

What is exactly the problem with viewing an attachment?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Which batch actions (multiple select) do you like to see? Would only move suffice if you could move to spam, trash and archive as well? Batch permanent delete from trash seems not a good idea to me, since it cannot be undone.

How do you experience the user interface? Is it fast? Is it logical and looks it nice? Are the button icons clear and are the actions ordered logically? Is the navigation convenient? For example the folder menu in the action bar: is it worth to have this extra over the accounts in the navigation drawer?
[Android Apps and Games] glops:
yes I use the latest version

I just noticed that this product random

I can not visualize the files as attachments (pdf, images ...)

normally the attachments must be upload directly to the internal memory or SD card

I have this message random

Same 1) as [MENTION=629573]glops[/MENTION] while setting the second account. The fields are aleatory emptied and it is necessary to fill them several times.

ver. 13

One gmail account and syncing has stopped halfway through. Still missing a month of emails. No toast error messages.

Some folders showing errors:
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
v0.13 feedback

• No issues to set my accounts

• I have several accounts but when I press the Folder icon from the Unified box view I only see the folders of the primary account. What's the point of only showing icons of this account? We just have to select an account from the drawer to get the related fodlers. That's enough IMO.

• What does "OK" mean in this situation? (see attached)

• FairEmail is not available from the Share menu so we have to open the app, start a new email then select an attachment. Useful when we want to share something from the gallery app, file manager...

• Draft saved without any reason. Steps to reproduce: Compose a new email > add an attachment > press the "eye" icon to view it or the attachment itself > In my case I want to view a .sh file and Android tries to open it with either Macrodroid or Stocard (which is a non-sense! idk if it's related to FairEmail or Android) > Cancel the action by pressing an empty area (instead of choosing between Macrodroid and Stocard) > A toast message appears saying "draft saved".

Same thing happens when adding the recipient from my Contacts app.

Actually I'm not sure if automatically saving drafts is a good idea.

Maybe doing the same thing as sms/mms. Just keep the email in cache if the user leaves the app before sending the email. The email is displayed when the user comes back to the Compose view.

• Not sure if it's a problem with FairEmail or my Contacts app but I can't select which email address I want to use for a contact (if the contact has more than 1 email).

• The "Mark as unread" icon when reading an email should mark it as unread and redirects the user to the unified box (or previous screen if the user opened the email from a specific inbox). No need to get a notification "1 new email".

• About multiple select, move to trash and mark as un-read are the main actions I use.

• The interface is minimalist and very fast. Could you move "Setup", "Privacy", "FAQ" and "About" at the bottom of the drawer? It may be better and clear.

• Reading an email: I don't think it's logical to have "mark as unread" and "forward" on a gray action bar and the other icons at the bottom.

• I have an email with this kind of body text:

<!-- fhiihzfiphirpghzpihzfhgp -->

FairEmail considers this as a comment so it's ignored and I don't see it at all :)

• An option to see the headers of the emails (real senders, servers used...) would be appreciated too.

• What does this "1" mean?

EDIT: where attachments are downloaded?
