[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
message is added to outbox

dimmed, I believe

no operations

no errors I see

When I click send with manual sync account (on-demand, so global sync off)

Sent does not appear on operations list.

Message is added dimmed into outbox.

If I pull-to-refresh outbox it sent before. (I have not tried this time, because I want to cancel this mail and edit it, but no option for either.)

Also, before the move to new outbox format.

On send, mail automatically got sent, meaning outbox folder synced immediately on send button.

This new action wait-for-sync on manual mode is great.

But, only if it has the ability to delete or edit message, otberwise it is useless and previous automatically send should occur i fortunately
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Dimmed = message is sent, waiting to be confirmed (=seen in sent folder).

Try to refresh your sent folder.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
I see,

But if I refresh sent folder, other folder/outbox will be synced to.

Just checked with k9 and it is indeed sent.

So the behaviour has changed somewhat.

Before, on send mail was sent and removed from outbox,

Now outbox waits for pull to refresh or refresh sent folder also removes it from outbox,

This was not the case before, because outbox in folder view always had - always sync folder checked.

Now this has been removed so it does not sync
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Refreshing the sent folder will not sync other folders or the outbox.

The only change was that unconfirmed messages are shown dimmed now instead of being hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] meiser:
Hi,

any chance to remove the warning "Dieser Anbieter ünterstützt keine Pushnachrichten. ..." in the accounts overview? It's fine to see it in the settings, but it's a bit disturbing in the overview.

And I have a usability question: If I move a mail to trash, the mail is not seen in the trash immediately. I have to refresh the folder. This also prevents to clear/empty the trash directly without refreshing the folder. Do I miss any settings?

Thanks in advance,

meiser
[Android Apps and Games] Licaon_Kter:
Exact same settings ofcourse. Will retry with 1.399...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Is the trash folder of the account with the warning? Is it set to synchronize?
[Android Apps and Games] meiser:
No, it's another account where the warning is not shown. And this account is configured to synchronize.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Okay. Another question: does the moved message falls within the synchronize window (number of days) ?

If a message is moved to a synchronizing folder and falls within the synchronize window, it will be "pre moved" and shown dimmed until the message is confirmed in the folder. In all other cases, the message will not be shown until the server confirms the existence of the message.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Dimmed email was in outbox.

I refreshed sent folder as you said, after already making sure mail was sent with k9,

And mail disappeared from outbox.

I did not refresh outbox.

So by refreshing sent folder - unconfirmed dimmed mail was confirmed - so removed?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, it seems so.
[Android Apps and Games] Licaon_Kter:
It works now in 1.399, I guess it depends on the actual email body being loaded and that was broken in 1.395.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] meiser:
Yes, the mail was a current one which I just received. But it's not shown dimmed in the trash folder, the folder is empty.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You have said that the account is synchronizing, but is the trash folder also set to synchronizing? My best guess it is not.

Edit: long press the trash folder in the folders list to see the sync settings
[Android Apps and Games] meiser:
Yes, it is. All typical folders like Sent, Trash, Inbox are set to be synchronized.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I guess you'll have to enable 'store sent' for the identity. See for some more info the FAQ.

[Android Apps and Games] mabdul2:
Hi M66B,

First a big thank you for this great app!

Sorry if the proposal was posted somewhere, but a quick search in this thread and in the faq revealed nothing that fits.

Is there somewhere an option to move messages to the trash instead of deleting them directly?

Best regards
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
What you are asking for is the default behavior ...
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
I'm on OOS Pie, and the only way I found to have notification LED is to use GravityBox.

Hello!

I have a feature request: A simple tap on the head of an email or at the email address copies the email address into the clipboard.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
A tap on a message header either opens the conversation view or collapses/expands the message in a conversation, so this is not possible.

You can already copy/paste all address details if you are searching for this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This will be fixed in the next release. This error message will be suppressed and the app will try to restore the connection later (with a logarithmic back-off).

I have just released

beta

version 0.27

Changelog/download:

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

This version will be available in the Play store too after Google's approval.

[MENTION=7641259]geronimoge[/MENTION] the bug you wanted to report should be fixed in this version.

This version fixes all reported bugs and adds two new big features: Gmail OAauth and standard answers.

Gmail OAuth is available as 'Select account' in the account dialog. If needed you are requested to grant the GET_ACCOUNTS permission, which seems to be illogically grouped under READ_CONTACTS. If you have already granted READ_CONTACTS permission or if you are using Android O or later, no permissions are required and requested (although I have not been able to test this because my Nexus 5x "ist kaput", so reports if this works properly on Android O/P are very welcome). Hopefully this new feature stops the questions about how to login to Gmail.

The FAQ lists all the mandatory and optional permissions and the reason why they are needed:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#FAQ1

As you can image, I get a lot of email. As you likely know, I prefer to answer questions in a personal way. However, lots of the same questions are asked over and over again, so it is rather convenient for me to have at least a standard answer template, so I don't have to type more or less the same response over and over again. I guess many of you have an application for standard answers in more or less the same fashion as well. Standard answers will be a pro feature in the next release. Should 'standard answer' be called 'standard replies' ?

The goal is to work to a first stable version now, so bigger new features have to wait.

XDA thanks, donations and purchases are appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] geronimoge:
Thanks a lot, just purchased!
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
So in my main email account I use a lot of folders on (It's a vanity domain hosted on Google Apps, so I'm using Gmail as my provider). I have FairEmail set to sync several folders, but yet when I open them from the app, it shows no message, even though there are definitely messages in them, even from today (For most of them I have it set to sync seven days, which is the default). Is there any way to force a folder refresh via pull down or some other method? I tried turning off WiFi and Mobile Data, waiting a few minutes then turning it back on, but that didn't help. I'm running version 0.27.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
First of all consider to send me a log file (via 'about').

You can force refresh folders by long pressing a folder since a few versions.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
long pressing on the folder does nothing - debug info sent. Thanks!

It just shows a cloud with a line through it and no messages in the folder.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Just have a little patience. There is a wait to reconnect to not overflow the server with requests (and to be locked out). I have already made a change to make this smoother in the next version because the wait is not necessary in all circumstances.

Edit: see the legend about what the cloud with a line through it means.

It is also on my to do list to show if a folder is syncing.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Ok thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] Gerolianis:
As a newcomer to FairEmail I am still not 100% familiar with all options, not to speak of reading 130 pages here. From the FAQ I learned that 'primary account' defines the standard account to be used e.g. when you start a new mail from an ambiguous place like the combined inbox. That's what I would have expected.

However when I start a new mail from the combined inbox, not the primary account is used, but the account which I used first time when installing this app (google android account). Is there any trick to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am pretty sure the primary account/identity will be used, so double check your settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Gerolianis:
I triple checked or more often, because I was annoyed since I noticed that problem 2 weeks ago. Just today I found time to explore the FAQ.

Is there a feature like saving and restoring setup like there is in netguard? That might fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can find export/import in the navigation menu of the setup screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Gerolianis:
'account/identity' was the right keyword. I had set primary on account only. After setting it on identity as well it's working as expected. I wasn't aware there were 2 places to set that attribute. Thanks Marcel.

I have added a FAQ about this: Why is an identity not available?

Great idea to make the style toolbar in compose view optional. Thanks! Again more space :)

I don't know about the others, but the only button I often used from toolbar is the "attach" button. So now that I have the toolbar disabled, would it be possible to add "attach" somewhere, for instance in the 3-dot-menue (if the toolbar is disabled)? Otherwise I have to everytime activate and deactivate the toolbar, if I want to attach a file. Or is there an other way?

Any possibility, when sharing email, of saving images and attachments in a folder and add links to them into the shared text?

In that way it could be possible to share mail to a note program, saving all the content of the email.

I use orgzly, not sure if link syntax could be customizable.

Thanks for your work and dedication
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There are two problem with this:

The shared text is plain text for maximum compatibility

FairEmail has by default no permissions to write public files
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Is there a way to rotate manually in toolbar, perhaps?

I mention this, because sometimes camera saves photos with wrong rotation.

But, I have not tested yet.

I do use inline images a lot, though.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail cannot and should not fix images with wrong attributes, so you'll have to use an image editor for this.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Complicated. Might be interesting.

Not sure if feasible.

neutriNote supports similar syntax, but I do not think it is feasible since it saves image attachments inside a folder called attachments in storage where notes are stored.

So, you need access to other apps data location. In my case /Documents/neutriNote

Another opensource notepad, other than orgzly, is markor also supports images, but not sure how it stores them,

Each app pribably handles storage differently, even the same app can do things differently depending on settings.

For example, neutrinote has an option to copy images into attachments folder, so it is not given.

-Plain text is perfect. Effectively, it is completely compatible with orgzly, markor, etc.

-We can already save attachments manually. We just would choose the folder for them and FairEmail make the links (not really live links, just plain text with some easy syntax, although as the friend above said, each program could need a different syntax, and not sure if it is feasible to make it customizable). Real example of image link:

I have a scanner app from which when I try to mail a scanned document, I get the error shown. I cannot send the mail and the workaround for me is to download the attachment (scanned copy) and attach it on the mail.

Language of the error and the workaround suggests that it is a problem of the scanning app. I mailed them to fix it and they didn't seem to get it and reverted with meaningless suggestions like giving all permissions to mail app, etc. This reply is evidently from first line support.

How do I tell them in technical terms, what is wrong and needs to be fixed, so that the developer can address?

Thanks for your response

Edit : Giving storage permission to FairEmail fixed it but wonder why only this app has the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can now workaround this problem by giving FairEmail storage permissions, but tell them that this won't work on Android Q anymore.

There are some links in the FAQ or you can point then to this:

https://commonsware.com/blog/2019/03/27/death-external-storage-stay-away-files.html

They should have updated their app five years ago, so I guess there won't be a bright future for this app.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Thanks

Pity... It's one of the best scanning apps rich in features. It's called CamScanner (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intsig.camscanner)

Hi

Is it possible to get a feature (to create a rule for example for certain contacts) to decrypt automatically an encrypted message?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see the FAQ why there is no automatic decryption.

Also, decryption often needs your input, so it is mostly not possible anyway.

tl;dr; it is unsafe
[Android Apps and Games] Danmann:
Yeah, I thought it would be great to have the input (openkeychain pwd input) straight away instead of klick the file and so on or the 3 dots and decrypt. And afterwards you can click on "Touch to clear passwords."

I can't see that would be unsafe. It's actually the same thing. Only fairemail doesn't start the whole process automatically.

Edit:

It could be a user's choice if we could add a rule for contacts.

Edit2:

I just realised that if you use the 3 dots and decrypt it'll stay decrypted even if you clear the password. It would be great to have the message encrypted again.
[Android Apps and Games] Licaon_Kter:

Almost everything happens in the background, so I don't have an explanation for the sluggishness other than lack of resources (memory, processor, etc).
