Labelled messages are presented as just messages in folders to FairEmail via the Gmail IMAP server and have no special meaning in FairEmail. Basically, you are asking for folder colors, but I am not sure if this is a good idea because the interaction with account/identity colors will be complicated/confusing.

Airplane mode doesn't work correctly on some devices (Android doesn't send a connection disconnected event). I will see if I can add listening for airplane mode changes as a workaround.

I guess you want to enabled 'Scroll to top on new messages' in the behavior settings.

People with lesser moral standards will start sharing exported files with the pro features enabled if this were possible.

Export = download from FairEmail

Import = upload to FairEmail

So, IMHO the icons are correct, but you could argue about this of course.

In the action bar/menu you'll find a filter for starred messages
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you mean the send dialog: you can select the identity at the top of the compose screen already, so why add this another time?
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Renaming a subscribed folder will unsubscribe the folder. I think this shouldn't happen.
[Android Apps and Games] xmiseggs:
I think that then the translation (In Spanish) is incorrect, I explain, I see: Filter > Not highlighted, when it should be: Filtered > Highlighted as it appears correctly in the "Sort by" option.

Thank you for all your answers.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see here about how you can fix the translation:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq26

Translation updates will almost always be in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail unsubscribes from old name and subscribes to the new name:

// [URL="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-6.3.9"]https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-6.3.9[/URL]
boolean subscribed = ifolder.isSubscribed();
ifolder.setSubscribed(false);
ifolder.renameTo(istore.getFolder(folder.rename));
ifolder.setSubscribed(subscribed);

There is nothing more FairEmail can do.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
That's weird.

I can reproduce this effect on all my devices with my mailserver (dovecot-2.2.36-3.el7_7.1.x86_64) and with web.de.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
For me, deselecting with 'back' is counter-intuitive. I expect 'back' to go to the previous screen.

Note that the menu item only needs to be visible when more than one item is selected.

Can you instead move the save folder button to the right edge of the top bar? There is nothing there now, and the button currently is really hidden. Folder properties are not changed often, so it is hard to remember the button down there . Alternatively, you might add a menu that asks if the changes should be saved if the back button is hit.

Edit: I just notice that a 'Save changes?' menu is displayed when you leave the properties with the back button, but not with the left arrow in the top bar.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will see if I can fix this in the next release.

Hi,

in "Setup accounts" host fields are not trimmed. Many keyboards will add a space at the end of a word while auto compleeting. With a space at the end of the hostname FE are not able to resolve the host.

PS: Unsubscribing of folder while renaming is now a so called "known bug"?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will add trimming of host names.

Unsubscribing of folder while renaming is now a so called "known bug" in your email server.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Ok, I understand. To be correct:

This also a "known bug" in one of the biggest internet companies in europe United Internet AG. Known for the free mail hoster web.de and GMX

I have not had time to explore this but [MENTION=7193240]jaholm[/MENTION] can you try same with a different client - like Thunderbird - perhaps both on web.de and your own imap server.

Also if you "refresh" do you then see the new folder or still not? How about restarting the app?

And for the dovecot server, do you see anything in the logs - you may want to increase verbosity here.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

I guess for dovecot - if you could see the UNSUBSCRIBE -> OK followed by SUBSCRIBE -> OK that would be interesting.

It feels like a client refresh should fix this - but only of the SUBSCRIBE on the new folder succeeds - which I'd be beyond shocked if it didn't

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

[/COLOR [MENTION=7193240]jaholm[/MENTION] FYI - probably not your fault, but your dovecot is a bit ancient and EOL. Best I can tell you have 2.2.6.3 which is from march 2018 and all versions 2.2.x.y have reached end of life as of august 2018

See https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2018-August/112536.html

Current version is 2.3.7.2 and I would suggest you should update to newer version.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The main problem is this "The server MUST NOT unilaterally remove an existing mailbox name from the subscription list even if a mailbox by that name no longer exists." (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-6.3.9)

This is why FairEmail first subscribes from the old name, else it would still show up as non-existing subscribed folder with the old name. You can argue if this is a bug or feature in the standard ;)

Maybe the renamed folder should be opened first to be able to set it to subscribed. I will check this.

Or you may want to switch to the rolling release version of Centos - it will at least stay a bit more up to date - hopefully.

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

The rolling version is Centos Streams (https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2019-September/023449.html)

In my view, rolling releases are far superior to old style change everything at once - lots of small changes - and in enterprise setting you can run daily tests, monthly freeze/test and quarterly releases - all of which are small changes and keep server up-times massively better. Far simpler approach. My preferred rolling release is Arch but since you're a centos user you may prefer that version - it wont be as up to date but it is still the pre-RHEL stuff.

Ok, thunderbird renames folder without unsubscribe with web.de/GMX and on my dovecot.

Encryption - still have issues 1.744

1) Tapping the lock icon - the send button changes to encrypt (icon is lock with line through it) - however pressing 'encrypt button still sends text in the clear - no encryption.

When icon is a lock with no line (closed lock with dot in it) the button reads send - pressing the 'send button' now forces the send dialog popup which I previously marked as do not show again - that option now has encrypt un-selected - if i now choose encyrpt in the dialog popup it does send encrypted.

Can you change it so that pressing the button when it reads encrypt - sends encrypted mail please (preferably with no send dialog popup).

2) the lock icon - lock with line through is easy to think of as 'not locked' - i wonder if the more standard lock icons where the lock at top opens / closes might help improve understanding.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

Also the one that did sent encrypted - upon receipt shows as Message Signature Invalid.

It isn't - and thunderbird says signature is fine.

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

Strange - when i tried to repeat the 'use send button at bottom' - a second time - the message just sent in clear with no dialog. Anyway, something is a bit not right here - confusing icons aside.

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

The one marked as invalid signature - the body of the mail just had my normal identity sig at bottom - i didn't add any other text to the body. not sure its related - hard to test when its not working quite right.

'Select all' selects conversations, but move/delete shows the actual number of messages to move/delete . A conversation might consist of more than one message, explaining the difference in numbers. I will see if I can clarify this in some way.

Good tip for the future! But currently the latest dovecot version in 8-stream/ is the same as my on CentOS 7.7: 2.2.63. I will consider to change to 2.3 with this repo for CentOS7 https://repo.dovecot.org. After the experiences with the introduction of centos 7, I will not upgrade to centos 8.0

I have just released

beta

version 1.745

Changelog/download:

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

The changelog might seem uninteresting, but in fact displaying messages has been rewritten to introduce inline displaying of original messages. I spent about two days developing and testing this, so at least a "thanks" will be appreciated.

Some background: normally the web view cannot be used in a scrolling list (of messages in a conversation) and although there exist several workarounds for this, none were satisfactory. However, I had a completely novel idea (as far as I know) about how to approach this without the usual edge cases (hopefully) !

To do: investigate if using a dark background is feasible (setting the background dark is simple, but the challenge is to modify the message so that everything is still readable). I will consider to add an option to always display original messages.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thank you.

Option to always display original messages from user selected senders would be welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can already do that ...

Wow! Inline displaying of original messages works flawless!

I usually visualize the original message for some commercial emails and it seemed a bit tedious to open it "apart".

Inline displaying of messages, and the compact folder view are both excellent improvements. Great stuff!

[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
I also see the symbol for 'sent' (->) in messages, but in the legend explanation I find it only in folders.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is a folder icon, so that is correct.

Note that folder icons will be shown in the unified inbox for all non inboxes.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I added POP3 support and I get a 2 star comment like this:

:( :( :(

My response:

POP3 can only fetch message from the inbox and delete messages, nothing more.

If you use the Play store version, please rate FairEmail in the Play store to compensate for this kind of nonsense. If you joined the Play store test program, please leave the test program temporarily via this link, so the rating actually counts:

1.746 -Encrypt via send/encrypt button now works.

Thank you!!

Question - the icons look reversed to me - maybe its just me - the one for encrypt is 'open' to my eyes - the top of padlock is out of the lock and lock is clear.

The one for no-encrypt is filled in and the lock on top looks engaged/locked.

Could just be me - its not terribly important as the send button changes to encrypt which is unambiguous.

Thank you!!

(try to ignore the goofballs on play reviews - guys if you haven't added a play review please do ... it does help).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Buttons/icons should show what they supposed to do when you tap on them.

At least in FairEmail this is consistently the case.

Ah of course - makes perfect sense - somehow my brain looked at it as a 'state' rather than action when executed.

Good news is the icons do indeed look exactly like what they do ...

With a completely new open email with no email thread, if you click the trash icon the notice says that 2 messages are moved to the trash, it is incorrect the number should be 1. Please check this option because it seems that the counter is not doing well.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You are likely using Gmail, which stores all messages in the all messages folder too. So, the number of messages to delete is likely correct. Open the message and you'll see 'Duplicate in ...'. You can use the duplicates filter in the action bar/menu to see the full duplicate message.
[Android Apps and Games] xmiseggs:
You're right, thank you.

And if I want to deselct one user/sender I have to delete all asks?

I mean the aks for always open the original message or open everytime the pictures.

How can I delete one user...

You can't and I have no plans to add that. You can't have everything.

Hello, I have the beta 1.749 and I see that the emails that contain images when I press the icon to see them now take longer to load, before with previous versions were faster viewing. I have a Gmail account and I have tested it with wifi and data.

Congratulations, each beta improves the application a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have an idea what is causing this and I will look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
If I open the original message an click on don't ask again, next time it isn't asked. Ok

But if I click on not original message, next time I will be asked again. So on this way I could reset my click on ask again.

You could make it for pictures, too...
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
The new in app original message view is great but difficult to scroll left or right on my device.

A little bit to top or bottom and it stocks. You have to scroll new.

If you enable the wish left or right to next mail it is very difficult. Then you get fast another mail and not scroll in the message left or right.

Only observation, no complains! ;)

[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]

I want to reduce my mailbox size by reducing stored duration.There is an option to remove mails beyond the reduced period I recall but I forget what it's called and where to find it. Can you please guide?

Thanks for your help

Edit: On permanently deleting messages from device I hope they are removed from server too or is there a setting for this ¿( I know there is a setting for checking if it had been done)
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Please, no.

The "Designer" has no clue about how fairEmail operates or its capabilities. And, moves around icons to places not appropriate, since some are dynamic, changes with state. And removes many items because he does not know what their benefits are.

Also, there are multiple views in fairemail already - card view, normal view, and each has normail and compact.

By adding spaces and removing content and settings explanation - that is not redesign. It is a waste of time.

For someone to design and redesign, they need to first take the time to understand the app.

And, understand - the context, and the users. They need to cater to both the sensible/unsensible/simple/more technological savy, etc.

Removing content that can be useful to some users is not better design.

I believe you need to change folder properties, long-press | edit properties:

Also, make sure keep messages is unchecked, not like in screenshot.

Some nice ideas which I might use

Too much white space

Violation of the FairEmail open source license
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Just change the number of days to keep messages for (long press folder in folder list, edit properties).

Permanent delete means delete from the server too. This is irreversible.

I am happy to discuss changes here ...
[Android Apps and Games] spinoxda:
Regarding donations/ donate,

the description says "less than 5 eur " "you are allowed to activate the pro features only once"

Does it mean that pro will be enabled "on one device at a time", and reinstalling the device or moving fairemail to a different phone the pro features will stay?

or does it mean instead that pro will be activated "one shot" and cannot be moved to a different phone?

If the phone is wiped/reinstalled, is pro lost? what happens?

I have a setup where all emails are left "forever" on my (currently 3) mobile clients, but deleted automatically from the server by a Pop account on my Win10 tablet after X number of days.

I also have an IMAP account on the Win10 tablet which I use, the Pop account is my permanent backup, I never delete anything from it, not even all the junk mail.

You never know.

I fell into this setup more or less accidentally, and formalized it when I realized it worked well both for backup and cleaning.

I have never looked into how this might affect the mobile clients efficiency, but have never noticed any problems with battery or data use.

Just a suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail allows you to set the number of days to sync for and the number of days to keep messages for separately, which will allow you to keep a lot of messages on your device without causing a lot of battery usage by synchronizing these messages over and over again.

I have just released

stable

version 1.750 "Saturnalia"

Changelog/download:

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

It has been made possible to switch back from viewing images to viewing text only again, allowing to reset 'Don't ask again' for the sender as suggested by [MENTION=2267092]ths180[/MENTION], thanks!

I have picked a few elements from the design proposed here. However, in my humble opinion the design doesn't always improve usability, arguably on the contrary, for example by introducing more white space where viewing content is more important. That said, I am open to design changes, so please tell me about the things you like about the proposed design.

I don't think reddit user borax12 has bad intentions, but please be careful with installing unverified third party builds. Note that borax12 is violating the open source licence of FairEmail by publishing a build without publishing the source code.

Feedback, thanks, donations and purchases are appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] cobben:
Yes, I have arbitrarily put sync to 7 days, seems good enough.

I have been under the impression perhaps incorrectly, that freeing up the mobile clients from the task of deleting old messages on the server saves battery and data on the mobile devices.

I have also previously wanted to keep some old messages on some mobile devices but not on others.

[Android Apps and Games] Sid32:
Great. But I like the Nine way of swipes, where emails don't go off the screen completely before they bounce back.

Also a option to sync on open automatically, with a cool off period. Also, we don't need a button pop up saying that the email is being synced if we pull down and we get the sync icon in the notification area.

Wow! What a fantastic app! :victory:

Thank you so much M66B!

I am using the F-Droid version: 1.743

Bug: The image load button has the option to have future emails load imagery. This does not appear to work. Every new email from the same address require it to manually load. "Do not ask again for..." Perhaps I am reading this wrong.

Feature request: Have the option to set a theme for app but with email content to respect the original theme.

Feature request: I love the address book option. It only has the option to create a new contact. Is it possible to 'add to existing contact' - or it that more an issue for the contacts app?

Feature request: Have a sound for email sending. swoosh!

I tried installing 1.750 stable "Saturnalia" apk. It would not install. Do I need to uninstall version: 1.743 first? If so, will I need to reset all the accounts?

Thanks! :)
