Pull down to refresh works well.

Indentation of child folders looks a bit funny for one of my accounts, because there all folders are grouped under the INBOX folder. I hope it will be clear to (new) users that child folders are not refreshed as their parents, but have their own sync settings.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you have suggestions about how to improve showing the folder hierarchy, please let me know. Note that synchronizing folders are sorted on top.

Each folder has a clear indicator whether it is synchronized or not, so I don't think there will be much confusion.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
O yes, I only see it now. Child folders that are not syncing while their parent is (and v.v.) are displayed lower, so it is not a real tree structure.

I don't see the advantage of this feature, but it doesn't really bother me as well.

I'm much happier with the new refresh feature.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Just updated to 1.197.

Were there changes in the last two versions regarding how swipe to delete/archive from unified inbox is handled?

Most of the time the message just snaps back when I do this gesture.

Seems like I have to do the swipe more precise horizontally than before for it to work.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Swipes are handled by Android, not be FairEmail, so nothing was changed, unless your Android version was updated.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

This version will be available in the Play store after Google's approval.
[Android Apps and Games] RBJ26:
Decided to give this app a try, but I'm not having much luck.

I'm getting the following error message:

Unexpected error

android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConstaint Exception: NOT NULL constraint failed: folder.level (code 1299)

Device: Nexus 5X

Android Ver 8.1.0

I'm running pro version of xprivacylua, but have all restrictions for FairEMail unchecked.

The error message shows up immediately after starting program.

I've tried uninstalling the app, rebooting, and reinstalling; same error.

Also have tried both the play store version and the github version.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is a bug and I will fix this soon.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
I confirm this behaviour.

I think it's due to the pull to refresh gesture.

I had the same behaviour with Simple Calendar (I think you know ;) ).

When I disabled the pull to refresh in this app, horizontal gestures became "normal".

[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] : an option in advanced settings to disable pull to refresh ? :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Strange. I can swipe under 45º and it still works. I just have to pull the item over halfway the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
For me it's the opposite.

I have to make a perfect horizontal gesture (and a short move is enough) to make it work.

As soon as my finger goes slightly down, I see the white disk of the spinner appears.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=4913921]BreckZeBoulay[/MENTION] as already said, swipes are handled by Android. If they don't work correct, there is little I can do. Pull to refresh and horizontal swipes are independent of each other, so a setting to disable pull to refresh wouldn't help.

version 1.199

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

[MENTION=4139723]RBJ26[/MENTION] the crash on start/setup should be fixed in this version.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
I agree, I don't say that problem is due to FairEmail.

My experience with another app and my :good: are not agree :D
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Ah, that's it. When I'm 'off track', I'm pulling up. Slanting down I get the same behavior as you. :D Maybe it just became more visible for you because now the spinner appears.

Back to business.

P.S. In ProtonMail I can swipe diagonally up and down to archive or trash. Slant down <45° swipes the message, >45° scrolls down or (while at the top of the list) shows the spinner. Slanting up same, <45° swipes the message and >45° up scrolls up.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just added this FAQ:

Can you add a new provider to the list of providers?
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Just a small visual issue: when there are operations pending, the notification is cut off a bit at the bottom.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not entirely sure what you mean. It doesn't look bad to me in any case. Android takes care of formatting notifications, so maybe the only fix is to change the translation to be shorter.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am planning to move the star from before the sender address to the end of the list item and to show it always and to make it clickable. It will be shown open when the message is not starred and closed when it is starred.

As it is now, it is ugly when there are messages with and without star because the sender addresses are not aligned.

Are there any objections to this or suggestions for an alternative solution?

Note that clicking is easier at the end than at the start.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
I'm not sure if you can see the images in my post.

There is no space below the text how many accounts are synchronized and the vertical end of the notification when there are currently operations pending.

It's shown fine when no operations are currently pending.

I think the color generally shouldn't be too dark, especially when it's shown open, to be not too intrusive.

If it looks and works something like in pEp, I personally have none objections :)

This version will be available in the Play store after Google's approval.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Congratulations to 200 versions!

Now that the star is at the right side, the time/date does not have the same alignment to the right as the account name below.

Looks like a forgotten space character or something like that :)
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
200 is a milestone, congrats! And I see the fireworks in the app.

I didn't realise the stars would be so prominent. I don't use them anyhow, but now I always see them. Another switch?
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Past few versions (running 1.1200 now) I have a partially drawn circle/arrow thing. Have rebooted, force closed the app, cleared cache. Going to uninstall and reinstall. I have network connectivity as other apps work just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Reinstalling mostly doesn't fix these kinds of things.

Do you mean the pull down to refresh spinner? If so, it will go away as soon as the synchronizing completes.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
It's been a few days and many version upgrades and it's not yet completed. As a result I'm not getting many emails in my main account (Gmail)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
What exactly is not completed? The synchronizing of messages? You can see the status of the synchronizing in the folder list. See the legend for what the icons mean.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
It goes back and forth between filled in and empty. So it is syncing, but I can't get rid of the partial circle/arrow.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please post a screenshot indicating what you mean.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
I have 23 folders in my unified inbox from one account. Will post photo once I can edit screenshot to obscure personal info.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Mostly I want to see what you mean by "goes back and forth between filled in and empty".
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Screenshot attached of unified inbox
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Ok I'll try
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Screenshot. Home will go from solid to not filled in, back and forth
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The pull-down-to-refresh spinner should go away after synchronization completes.

However, there seems to be going something not quite right, so please send me the debug info by long pressing 'Support'.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Logs sent. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The problem is 'Too many simultaneous connections'.

Here you can see both accounts filled in, but still getting that circle.

Getting the dreaded "too many simultaneous connections" error. Thanks for the additional logging!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Did you know that starred messages are always synchronized/kept?
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Is there any way to control/set the maximum number of IMAP connections to the mail server? Gmail doesn't like > 15
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, by reducing the number of folders to synchronize ...

Edit: some searching on the internet revealed that other email clients like Outlook have the same problem with Gmail. The maximum number of stimulantia connections is 15 for Gmail, see here:

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
No, didn't know that, thanksnfor the tip. Maybe I give it a try.

One thing I found out for now: if I star a random (but not the most recent) message in a conversation, in the Unified inbox that conversation is marked with a star, but I cannot unstar it from there - I have to go back to the conversation view.

In fact, from the Unified inbox, you can only star/unstar the most recent message (or maybe only the message(s) inside the inbox folder, couldn't test that).

So if a conversation is marked with a star in the unified inbox, are all messages inside synced, or only the one(a) actually starred?

And another question: how are new messages treated if they belong to such a conversation? Are they automatically starred, or does the star move from the older message move to this new one, do I have to star it myself and eventually remove the star from the earlier message...?
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
I just want to check about using the beta as on Github. I *think* I installed my original copy from F-Droid which I applied the unlock to. When I go to install the beta it refuses. The logcat says that

Package eu.faircode.email signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!

It then errors

couldn't open /data/app/vmdl124457653.tmp

and

failed to delete /data/app/vmdl124457653.tmp

I've tried the in-build file manager and Amaze, which has the permissions to install as I'm on Oreo.

I'm reluctant to uninstall as I'm don't want to lose the unlock.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
You recieved an email from Marcel when you bought the pro version ?

If yes, you just have to tap on the link provided in this mail, and voil
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
You can use the link from the original Pro activation e-mail from within FairEmail to unlock again.

Don't forget to export your settings first.

Edit: Breck! :D
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
:p
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
OK. So it's export. Uninstall. Re-Install. Apply activation. Thx.

Edit:

Nope, clicking on the Activate link (within FairEmail) on the original e-mail says Invalid response.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Oops! I'm very sorry. For me it did work that way just recently.

You must be able to reinstall your previous version and activate that, and then wait for instructions from [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This should not happen and I like to see a log file of this (you can send it to me using the 'about' menu).
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
This morning I saw the following notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Where can I add CC and/or BCC recipients (which are not in my own contacts) in the Compose window?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Let me know if this happens in the next version again.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is an icon to show CC/BCC addresses in the action bar.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Where?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The little peoples icon.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
If you are already in the answer window, you have to press the back button before you see it!? Very unwieldy ...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Normally you start with entering addresses and then the CC/BCC icon will be visible, so this seems perfectly fine to me.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
This may be true in the case of a new mail, but not for other recipients when replying!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Then there is a choice to make whether to start in distracting free mode to write the reply or not and to enter addresses first. Looking at my own usage, I hardly enter addresses when replying, but that might be different for others. Please let me hear your opinions about this.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Here in aquamail BCC-Aaddresses are generally preset for replying.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That doesn't mean that that is the right solution for everybody.

alpha

version 0.16

Changelog/download:

Due to storing messages as files instead of into the database you'll need to enter your accounts/identities again.

Please report any problem you find. Hopefully the next release can be a beta release.
[Android Apps and Games] OSheden:
Could we have a different icon on the status bar when we receive a new email?

For now we can only see the information when opening the notification panel.

For example:

• only the outlines of the icon: no new email. Only sync information.

• the same icon but filled: email received
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
New email is already shown using a separate notification with a filled icon.

Maybe your Android version (which one?) is grouping notifications?
[Android Apps and Games] OSheden:
You are right (Oreo 8.1). It doesn't always happen.

The heads up notifications may be a solution.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
IMHO Android should not group notifications with a different priority, but who am I?

Heads up notifications for email is too much IMHO.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Why can the password (or possibly typist) not be made visible when creating the identities , however, when creating the accounts you can?
[Android Apps and Games] geronimoge:
I like being able to check and modify cc and bcc directly.
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
Oh no problems, I just reinstalled the F-Droid version and the Activation Link works. All up and running again.

I guess I will just go and stand in the corner facing the wall and not participate in the beta program. :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Actions on thread should work on all messages in a thread in the same folder as listed. This was not always the case and this will be fixed in the next release.

Note that if you have a message in a conversation starred in folder A and another one in the same conversation in folder B that you cannot remove the star from folder A or B. In this case you'll have to remove the star from folder A and B or remove the star from the individual messages.

What happened to 1.202? I just got that one pushed from Yalp store, but don't see it on Github. I blacklisted FairEmail now from updating through Yalp.

Without wanting to clutter the board, can I just draw peoples attention to the FairEmail widget that can be placed on the Home screen in place of the app icon. Really neat. I can't find it documented in the FAQ.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Version 1.204 broke the conversation thread bottom action bar actions archive and delete. I will fix this tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Still getting too many simultaneous connections errors. Only my INBOX is set to sync. All other folders are sync+poll. (can't just do poll w/out sync it seems)

:(
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Did you upgrade to version 1.204?
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Indeed I did but just about 15 minutes ago - let me see if that helps.

Edit: been a few hours now and that warning/message about too many simultaneous connections is gone! If I wasn't already a Pro user, I would be now! Thanks so much [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] one7dchevy:
Hi Marcel, just wondering if you considered adding EWS connection to Exchange server to FairEmail? My company does not allow IMAP unfortunately.

Seems to be a limited number of apps that support this (maybe due to a small user base..), AquaMail being the only one I could get working with my work Email.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I would like to add exchange support, but I haven't been able to find maintained open source libraries to connect to an exchange server, so I don't think this is going to happen.
[Android Apps and Games] HerrT:
Yes, I've also 'found' it recently.

But to be honest: compared to the normal icon and the rest of the program, the widget icon is just ugly... (sorry [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No need for a sorry, but maybe you can tell what could be improved.

Note that the widget was deliberately kept neutral to let it fit in everywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] HerrT:
Here are my thoughts (in no particular order and I don't know if they can be done at all):

* I would like to see something blue (as this seems to be the FairEmail color)

* it's too narrow (only have as wide as the normal icon)

* it doesn't scale (sometimes widgets can be made bigger - if the launcher supports this)

=> a widget that looks exactly like the normal icon + the unread count would be perfect for me

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
I'm not a fan of widget. So just to test...

May be a more transparent background (or totaly transparent).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The background cannot be completely transparent else the number of messages would not be visible on light backgrounds anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] guillermohs9:
When selecting "check periodically/poll in stead of synchronizing" shouldn't the "synchronize (receive messages)" checkbox uncheck? If it only means receive messages maybe the tag should only say receive
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Poll is a special form of synchronize, so IMHO not. Also, you cannot enable poll until you enable synchronize.

As a side note: Gmail user folders are now set to poll by default for new accounts.
[Android Apps and Games] guillermohs9:
Good to know, I'll do a clean configuration later.
[Android Apps and Games] HerrT:
The icon itself looks much better now, but it is still too small compared to normal icons.

While it looks like the first screenshot now, I would prefer something like screenshot two...
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Nice !

And when there's no message, the envelope is closed.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I like to keep the widget as simple as possible and as a matter of fact the simple icon will be restored in the next release. Maybe I will add another widget later.
[Android Apps and Games] LazyT:
Question for reactivating pro features: I have deinstalled the GitHub version and switched to f-droid.

Contact photo is gone in sent folder (?)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You want to see yourself?

The contact photo is always based on the sender.

Edit: this has been for a while. Looking up contact photos is an expensive operation and delays fetching messages.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
So it has been already done, so I'm not mad.

With this kind of logical, it's the adress of the sender which should be seen.

And it's no the case, it's the recipient which is seen in sent folder.

So no I don't want to see myself.

Anyway, back to your edit so discussion is closed.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In conversations you'll get to see your own photo. This is also why basing the contact photo on the sender is the most logical thing to do.

And it will not be that often that you look in the sent folder.

The VPN network (which app?) you are using says metered.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Details?
[Android Apps and Games] HerrT:
Okay. Your software - your decision.

Just in case you want to work on this in the future: in my opinion the widget should count/display the number of unread messages in the unified inbox instead of the notifications...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Which number of messages the widget should show is debatable. In my and of some other's opinions it should equal to the number of notifications. The reasoning is that you choose to swipe the notification away deliberately.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMadRuffian:
FR: Show "Sending" in notification when a mail is being sent. Disappears as soon as the mail leaves the Outbox. This could particularly be useful when sending a large attachment. One could keep an eye on it without going into the app.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The number of messages to sent is already shown in the 'synchronizing' notification.
[Android Apps and Games] Licaon_Kter:
On install tested a bit and it was the same, notification "connection error", but tested again today and it behaved as expected, debug said backing off, but no notification so far.

Will keep you posted if it comes back.
[Android Apps and Games] HerrT:
So we agree that it would be best to keep the existing Widget like it is and add an additional one with colors, bigger icon and the number of unread messages instead of the number of notifications :good: ;)
