Mentioning a time helps to look at more specific things:

I wonder what happened between 5:32 and 10:41 besides the cleanup (every 4 hours).

Can you please enable error reporting in the miscellaneous settings and send me the long identifier below the options (by email) ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
@Zilla0617 I have a theory: when the WebView component is being updated, all apps using this component are killed, but not restarted (which is beyond annoying, not to say irresponsible). Since I guess the device was idle, the chance there was an update was high.

According to the settings, the watchdog is disabled, so the app won't be restarted in this case. Maybe it is a good idea to enable 'Periodically check if FairEmail is still active' (the watchdog) again in the miscellaneous settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Zilla0617:
Are you referring to the long characters below send error report?
[Android Apps and Games] Zilla0617:
Will this cause increased battery usage?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Not noticeable, because the app is supposed to be running already. So, this is basically a NOOP (no operation).

Version 1.1860 is available on GitHub now and in the Play store test program after Google's approval.

Changelog/download:

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

Besides some small improvements, there is a new button in the send settings to select a has-been-sent sound ("Whoosh").

Also, this version was released with a permission in the app manifest to be able to disable battery optimizations directly. Google might disapprove the app for this reason, which is part of the procedure to get approval for this permission. The app should IMHO qualify for an exemption, but Google might think differently about this:

Hi,

Thanks for this app. I came across it only yesterday.

On your FAQs page on Github, you mention "You can workaround this by lowering the keep-alive interval in the advanced account settings to for example 9 or 15 minutes." Is the keep alive interval the same as IMAP IDLE ping interval?

How do I change the keep-alive interval? In my version (v 1.1860) I can see an option to automatically tune keep-alive (under receive settings) and connection timeout (seconds) under connection.

How do I set my IMAP IDLE ping to 6 minutes?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Keep alive is the same as IMAP IDLE ping, although it usually is not called that way. It is an interesting term though.

The default is 15 minutes and this is almost always okay. You can change it in the advanced account settings (via "Manual setup and account options" in the main settings screen).
[Android Apps and Games] jiggyk:
Got it... Many Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The average Play store rating is now definitely below 4.8. It is still quite good, but I won't do my best anymore to change this. This means that I will keep maintaining and supporting the project and that there will still be small improvements, but only if they are useful to myself.

Too many people are rather harsh and don't give me any chance to solve the sometimes trivial problems they have. So, why would I put a lot of time into this?
[Android Apps and Games] jiggyk:
Sorry you feel this way. This is one of t h best email client I have used on Android.

Thanks for the app and the support.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The average Play store rating is how other people feel about the app. Since about 98% of the users install the app via the Play store, I can't ignore this. Since the project is not about earning money, how people feel about the app is important to me. I can't keep putting lots of time into the project if there isn't a kind of reward. I hope that makes sense.

If you want to change this, you can always leave a nice review in the Play store. If only people who are happy with the app did this more often. Unfortunately, in practice people with problems just have a louder voice.

Edit: to put things in perspective: considering an average rating of 4.8, there are 19 five stars ratings needed to compensate for one one star rating. Lately there were more one star ratings than usual. My guess is that people are stressed about a war which is going on.

Would it be possible to add a functionality to remove attachments from mails in inbox and other folders? Thunderbird has this. It replaces the attachment with a 0 kb file with the same name +DELETED. I use it quiet often to free up server space but keep track of conversations. That would be great!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Possible yes, but it is risky to delete a message and upload it again, which can result in losing the message and besides that it will break the digital signature of the message. IMAP doesn't have commands to modify messages, except for the message flags (read/unread, starred, etc).

Note that you can set FairEmail to delete attachments on the device for old messages (miscellaneous settings), which will result in saving space too, without this risk and problem. Moreover, this will be automatic.
[Android Apps and Games] deechte:
Hi Marcel,

I understand. I haven't lost a message in years of doing this with Thunderbird though.

It's not about local storage size, for me it's about server space.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version of the app will not only allow you to manually add local contacts, but also to assign a group to local contacts, which means that you can insert local contact groups in the message editor. This is for people who can't or don't want to use the Android address book. If you want to try this out ahead of release:

[Android Apps and Games] giandal:
Yes thanks. I saw your faqs. That's why I installed the IsBadgeWorking apk and that's why I was surprised that this apk displays the badge correctly. So, according to your faqs my home screen app supports badges, but fairemail for some reason still does not displays them.

Anyway, it's really a very minor issue. The app is great!
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
Hi,

Did you activate the Display badges option in the Android notification settings for the default channel for FairEmail?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please make sure 'badge' or 'dot' is enabled for the new message notifications channel (tap on the second button of the notification settings within the app).

Version 1.1862 is available on GitHub now and in the Play store test program after Google's approval.

The main change is the addition of a local contact editor, with the option to add group names to contacts, which will be used to insert contacts groups (three-dots overflow menu in the message editor).
[Android Apps and Games] giandal:
Yes it is. I should be more precise maybe. Fairemail displays a dot, but not the number badge. IsBadgeWorking shows the badge with the number instead.

Again, don't worry, it's really a very minor aesthetic issue. The app is amazing and constantly improving!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Is the launcher app one of the supported ones?

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is disheartening to see the average Play store rating decrease about every day. 1 star because a few features need to be purchased, 1 star for problems clearly caused by Android, and so on. Just frustrating. It takes the fun out of the project.

Hey @M66B how are you? I've been quiet lately but I'm still enjoying your masterpiece for managing my emails. Yesterday I noticed a small annoyance and I thought I would report it to you to see if it could be improve. I had to check an email with multiple XML files attached. FairEmail let me open them directly in a new window named DMARC, which is great. Only problem was that hitting the back button or the back arrow closed the app completely instead of taking me back to the opened message. Since I had 12 files to check, it was a bit of a pain in the ass :) Is there anything that can be done about it?

Thanks either way and have a good day my friend!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will remove the DMARC viewer to solve this problem.

Works great, thanks for the lightning fast fix.

Hard to believe that a one man army like Marcel can respond and fix things in 2 hours (to be fair he probably fixed it in 2 minutes, the rest of delay was on me) and big companies can't fix the reported problems for weeks, if ever.

Marcel, you are truly one of a kind, thank you for everything!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Unfortunately, this isn't visible in Play store reviews, where negative reviews still outweigh positive reviews.

From today, and that's not a joke, there will be a feature pause because I will be focusing on other things. That said, the app will keep being maintained and supported, and there might be small improvements, especially if they are beneficial to myself.

Hello I have seen on playstore this email client is seems to be very good .I know that supports email pec but my question is..I use many different email and olso Yahoo email.n my Thunderbird email client when I send yahoo email I can activate an option were I can have a confirm that the email was successfully sent to the recipient's inbox And that the recipient has read the messAge/email I sended (all this is "normal" and possibol to do it with Gmail account) exist olso on fairmail this option?

You can enable to request delivery/read receipts in the send dialog. If you disabled this dialog, you can long press the send button to show it again.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
And you can configure as a general default whether you want to have only a shipping confirmation, only a receiving confirmation, or both.

If your shipping server supports the former and your recipient the latter, it should work.

@fraschi51

So I just tested sending and email t my self (t a gmail accunt) from a yah email with fairemail and whean I open the gmail email I dnt get any request to send e confirm that I have read the mail so dosent work 100% (I knw tht yaho doent support the cofrmatione reade/receive email) bust as I wrote Tunderbid client have that option I have seen on the playstre some people wrote that old samsung mail ols was able to do that. I olso noticed that -fairemail runs allways n bckrund I cant decide to close it and t pen it the check emails nd after close it again (but there are a few interesting things olso)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail is about privacy and therefore won't automatically send read receipts when another email client asks for this. There will be a button to do this manually though. You can see in the legend (via the navigation menu = left side menu) how this button looks like.

If you don't want FairEmail to run in the background, you can disable receiving in the receive settings of the app. Note that this means that you need to check for email manually.
[Android Apps and Games] helen2:
I try to be clearer I send an email with an yahoo account with fairemail and I want that when they receive it and open it I receive a read confirmation (therefore the privacy of fairemail does not center anything)

Thank's

Helen
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
For this, please long press the send button and tick to request receipts.

Please be aware that not all email clients (in fact not many) will send read receipts, also because they were misused as spam in the past. In other words, you cannot rely on this.
[Android Apps and Games] helen2:
I'm getting crazy I can't find the option to disable to not have the app in the background can you put a screenshot? thank's

[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Even though, as a non-native English speaker, I don't understand many of your words reduced to a few letters at all (maybe you can write everything out correctly here?), the acknowledgements here work as they should. I don't use G-Mail, but I receive many confirmations of receipt from various recipients (of course, only if the recipients actively send them) and at least two of my accounts also work in such a way that I could send one without any problems.

[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
well marcel i personally would probably use what you have already. after looking through 16 kijillion icons all i saw was "highlight off" and "highlight alt". unless you wanted to take hilight alt. and replace what was in there with your "pencil/highlighter" , if thats even possible.

thanks for asking our opinion. thats pretty big for a developer IMHO. never seen that before. cool.
[Android Apps and Games] helen2:
Do you have yahoo mail?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
No, many other providers but not yahoo.
[Android Apps and Games] helen2:
wow thank's!!!I don't get emails often so I will only activate the option when I need it and so I can save battery!
[Android Apps and Games] helen2:
so i don't think you can answer how to get a read receipt using yahoo and email client
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
The process for requesting an acknowledgement of receipt and the headers required for this in a mail (which Marcel has implemented correctly) are standardized. Therefore, it should work with all providers that adhere to the standards.

AND as long as the recipient actively sends a receipt. Without that, of course, it does not work - at least it should not.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The Yahoo web interface doesn't support read receipts in any case. Another email client, like for example Thunderbird might.

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't know if the Hotmail web interface will send read receipt, but my guess it won't. Maybe somebody here can confirm this?

Note that read receipts depend on the email client (a web interface is an email client too) and not directly on the email provider.

Delivery receipts on the other hand depend on the email provider.

[Android Apps and Games] BostonDan:
I have to admit, this is a great email program EXCEPT not being able to add office/outlook 365 addresses that are unencrypted smtp enabled. I'm curious about this because another app I use to use for mail (and use now ONLY for the outlook365 account) had no issue with oauth of this outlook365 account. Otherwise, I love the privacy options, encryption, and layout.

Overall I'd give fairemail 4/5 stars.

I hope the outlook365 account smtp issue can be solved. Keep up the great work.

Also, just to note, I did pay for the pro version.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Which error message are you seeing? SMTP connections are always encrypted in any case (unless you configure an account manually and explicitly disable this, which is generally a pretty bad idea).

Does the other app use IMAP/SMTP too or maybe the old EWS (Exchange protocol), which is being phased out by Microsoft since 2018 and inevitably will go away at some point in time. Note that Exchange server and Exchange protocol are different things. All Exchanges servers support standard IMAP and SMTP.
[Android Apps and Games] BostonDan:
Getting the error:

The email server said: '535 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, SmtpClientAuthentication is disabled for the Tenant. Visit https://aka.ms/smtp_auth_disabled for more information. [MN2PR14CA0008.namprd14.prod.outlook.com]

as I stated above, another app can still link the account with smtpclientauthentication disabled. I cannot have this changed, due to the policy of the organization that manages the accounts.

Cheers,
