[Android Apps and Games] horazont:
Two issues and two feature requests

Okay, I haven’t used a web forum in quite some time and even less for reporting issues in software, so I hope this works out.

First of all, thanks for this app. I’m evaluating it to replace K9-Mail and if I’m happy with it, I’m going Pro once I get an Android 8+ device (for Notification Channels and Account Colours).

I have two minor issues and two feature requests I’d like to submit.

I use the "read" state for "done", like many others. So I set the option to mark messages as read on expanding to disabled. When I mark a message as Read in a conversation, the following happens:

1. I tap on mark as read

2. I try to collapse the message by tapping its header

3. Sometimes, the message stays open; sometimes I have to tap three times. I think this might corellate with the read state being synced to and from the server? I'm not 100% sure.

The expected behaviour is that I can immediately collapse a message after marking it as read. It should not re-open and it should not require multiple taps.

I’m not 100% sure what happened here, but here goes, maybe you can figure it out. This is what I did:

1. I wrote a reply to a Conversation

2. I sent the reply and quickly hit back to leave the conversation

3. The message was sent, but the draft was not deleted afterwards.

It might be that I hit back before FairEmail realised that the message was sent, so it saved the draft, like it normally would when going back?

Then, FairEmail did not show me the message reflected by the mailing list because it considered it a duplicate (it did show the "Duplicate message in …" row though). Maybe FairEmail could remove Drafts if it receives a message which it considers a duplicate? Or add an option for that.

Feature request 1: I would like to have a button in a Conversation to mark a message as read and collapse it and move on to the next unread message (expanding it). Ideally, this button would be placed at the bottom of each (unread) message. On read messages, the same button could simply collapse the message and transport me to the next unread message.

Feature request 2: When replying to emails on mailing lists, I always enter the "Edit as plain text" mode for the quotation, because that’s good style. I then snip around in the quotation to add my comments to it. When a quotation looks like this:

XYZ wrote:
> Fooing is ready to frobnitz it, but you need to bar the baz before adding the fnord.

I sometimes want to reply to different things in the same sentence. So I put the cursor for example behind the first comma and hit enter. My desktop MUA (Kmail) in that case generates the following output (| denotes the position of the cursor):

XYZ wrote:
> Fooing is ready to frobnitz it,
> |but you need to bar the baz before adding the fnord.

Making it easy to split a quotation by hitting enter twice and deleting the > in between. I would like either this behavour (because typing a > on a mobile phone is much harder than deleting two characters), or even better the following result:

XYZ wrote:
> Fooing is ready to frobnitz it,
|
> but you need to bar the baz before adding the fnord.

(For reference, the current behaviour of FairEmail is:

XYZ wrote:
> Fooing is ready to frobnitz it,
|but you need to bar the baz before adding the fnord.

)

Thank you so much for your time. I liked k9, but FairEmail is much more of a power tool than K9 is, and as a heavy email user, this is really valuable.
