That is by design. If battery usage is important to you, consider to switch to always sync.
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
Maybe you can use the same color as the icons color on the action bar above.

In fact, the remark raised by [MENTION=2599254]Surfinette[/MENTION] is more problematic with the light theme and less with the black one.
[Android Apps and Games] :
All this time I've been using Fair email and never realised you had an xda thread. Go figure.

At this risk of sounding like a spoilt brat with a silver spoon, have you given any thought to adding theming by "following" system accent?

I've been using Lawnchair launcher for quite some time now, and they have an interesting way of dealing with dynamic themes I haven't seen from any other app before which seems to work quite well.

I haven't analysed the code, so for all I know it may have been a huge feature. That being said, it is open source to check out.

I did see a lot of posts that reference the difficulties surrounding theming difficulties from yourself, so I understand if this seems like it would be too much work for what it is.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
What is 'adding theming by "following" system accent' ?

If you mean follow dark/night mode, that is supported. Just select the appropriate theme in the display settings.
[Android Apps and Games] xmiseggs:
I don't care about the use of the battery, I think FE's behavior with the battery is perfect. As I said in the beginning it's not important, it's just something visual that I think remains visible longer than real, well nothing important. Thank you.

HTML Display

Hi

While looking for a secure opensource email client I found FairEmail. I like most of it but I don't see that it does show HTML Mails correctly? At least I could not find any settings for that.

Unfortunately I cannot add images a a new xda members, I had some samples prepared. Can I send those otherwise?

Is there a way to show emails in their intended html layout?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
First of all, please make sure you are using the latest version (currently 1.757 stable or 1.758 beta).

Just above the message, just after the show picture button you'll find a button [ ] to show the original message.

If you trust the sender, you can check 'Don't ask again ...' to display the full message by default for the sender.

Should this be clarified?
[Android Apps and Games] pmcl77:
Thanks, I see the button now. Seems like n00b question from me now!
[Android Apps and Games] :
No, what I'm referring to is accents and such.

For example, if my accent is red, Lawnchair has the ability to detect that in its settings and change corresponding parts to that same colour.

For example, my dark mode accent is teal, if Fair email was to operate the same way, parts such as the conversation header would change to the same colour.

I guess you could call it a similar effect to what Swift Installer does for all supported apps.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Maybe I missed something, but as far as I know standard Android doesn't allow to set accent colors system wide.

If I am wrong: where in the Android settings can I find this? Without such a setting there is little to ad ...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.759

Changelog/download:

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

This version adds a messaging style conversation view, which you can enabled in the display settings. Feedback is welcome as always.

The show images/full message actions have visually been updated. Please let me know what you think about it.

[MENTION=8990549]xmiseggs[/MENTION] the sync service will stop 10 seconds after the last operation has been completed now

As always: please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
[MENTION=388926]MB66[/MENTION], for the Github versions, can you add an option that only warns when a new stable version is available?

Although I really appreciate your responsiveness and development work, my FairEmail setup is pretty much how I want to keep it, and I am not really interested in beta releases with new features anymore.

With all due respect ?
[Android Apps and Games] geronimoge:
I'm sorry if it was asked before:

Would it be possible to add "move" as a notification action?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can just disable update notifications in the miscellaneous settings and follow this forum to see if there is a new stable version, which you seem to do anyway ;)

I test each and every change, so none of the releases should be unstable. Alpha, beta and stable are just an estimate of the risk of having something overlooked.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The question is move to where. Notification actions do not allow selection of folders.

The archive and trash notification actions move to a fixed folder.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Yeah well, I wanted to try to ease down a bit on that too ?
[Android Apps and Games] geronimoge:
Okay, i see. Thanks for explaining.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Hi,

I'm using the the great conversion mode with "Automatically expand messages" on. If a conversation consists only of one email, the message will be openend.

But I have to push "back" twice to come back to the message list. Same behavior when pushing the back arrow on the top line. This was different in the past? I can't remember correctly.

I propose: a single back should go the message list if the conversation consists only of one message.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I guess you have "Collapse messages in conversations on 'back'" enabled. Try to disabled it.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Yes you are right. But when I disable this and I'm on a thread reading a message, tapping back take me the message list. But I want to go to the thread overview. Now, I have open the thread again. Not very handy.
[Android Apps and Games] Surfinette:
You are too fast!!! I was going to suggest the same setting for the 3 icons (I built a screen with photoshop without realizing you had posted an update).

Just maybe you could have a visual symetry with those 3 icons:

Pictures on the left, full message on the right, and unsuscribe in the center (as it is not always present).

By the way, you are a genius with the nice target tracking images (I didn't realize there were so much of them in commercial/news emails I receive, until using FE), and with the unsuscribe button (I wonder how this work...).

FE is definitely a 6-star app :good::good::good::good::good::good:

FYI - my photoshop-built screeshots
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The problem is that FairEmail can't count to one ;)

I will fix this.

This is with a Google account, correct?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I like to keep the icons where your thumb is (at least for most people).
[Android Apps and Games] Surfinette:
That's discrimination ;) :laugh: I'm left-handed with a large screen :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
This isn't account specific
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will fix it nevertheless ;)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I can't find a problem. Multiple expanded messages will always be collapsed on 'back'. There is also a remark about this in the behavior settings. If you enable Collapse messages in conversations on 'back' one or more expanded messages will always be collapsed on back.

So, with multiple messages expanded you'll need to use 'back' twice always to leave the conversation.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.760

Changelog/download:

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

This version was released to fix adding attachments.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Right. This ist the wanted behavior. But if there's only one message in the conversation you need to tap on "back" twice too! Not intuitive.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will have two behavior settings:

Collapse single message in a conversation on 'back'

Collapse multiple messages in a conversation on 'back'
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Do you think this is worth another option? You only make a difference I back handling when only one message is in a conversation. And with only one message in a conversation there is only one meaningful action.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Somebody else might disagree.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Is there anyone who wants to disagree?
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Any news for why you reverted the Outlook commit a few days ago again?

Big problems?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see here:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq111
[Android Apps and Games] redhonker:
Sorry if this is answered already.

Is there any way to disable the ongoing notification (FairEmail is synchronizing ...)? I'm on Android 7 and don't have a way to block channel.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see here:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq2

In short: switch to periodic sync.

Isn't is nice that Google forces this upon us?
[Android Apps and Games] redhonker:
Sorry for my ignorance.

Switching to periodic sync would mean there is no push email (even with battery optimization turned off), right?

Is there a way to remove the constant notification from the badge count on the icon? When there is no unread email, it shows 1 (Nova Launcher).

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No need for sorrys.

Periodic sync will disable push messages. To let push messages work reliably the ongoing status bar notification is required.

FairEmail explicitly requests to not show a badge for the ongoing notification, so this is a problem of the launcher. On my device (vanilla Pixel 3a XL) no badge is shown for the sync notification.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
So Exchange should work already?

I thought the Outlook MSAL commit and it's revert was a hint that you tried something new and had problems with it.

Sorry if I misunderstood something.

Tried to setup my Exchange work email with the assistant again and got the following error message:

[AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Authentication failed means that there was a connection with the server, but that account login was rejected. This could be due to invalid credentials, but also because the account is blocked or logging in this way is not allowed.
[Android Apps and Games] JJ111:
Hello [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION],

thanks for the latest 1.760, works great so far.

With me the contact colors changed, now lots of either bright or dark/dirty colors (bright cyan, pink... or brown, light brown, grey, black...) See attachment as an example.

Is it possible to add more "normal" friendly colors (non pastel colors)? Or an option to choose from different color styles for the contact color?

(I only use the light theme).

All the best,

JJ
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Since one of the last versions, the following rules no longer work. Mark as read. I move and want to mark as read. It is being moved, but not anymore.

Thank you...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Moved but not marked read or not moved at all?
[Android Apps and Games] xmiseggs:
In the unified inbox the vertical scrolling in both directions is not smooth, when I scroll the list a quick way down or up the list of emails is jerking as if it had lag the application. I have a OnePlus 5T

By the way, thank you for the double arrow synchronization icon, now the corresponding time appears, thank you.

[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]

Hello. In Gmail how do I get rid of bars that tell me "Duplicate in sent /important /all mail". I know Gmail does store them that way but it doesn't add any value for me know that again for most messages.

Searched settings /thread but couldn't find a solution

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will look into it, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail will always show all messages and you cannot disable this and this won't be made possible either. I have had way to many questions related to this, for example why the number of messages selected/moved/deleted didn't match with what is being shown.

Simple solution: don't use Gmail ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Moved but not marked read.

The checkbox is enabled for mark as read.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Definitely agree with you on this.

Just a note:

I do not have this problem.

But, I am using Manual sync and never sync all mail folders.

So, maybe it will work to disable synchronization of the all mail folder

If not there must be a setting in gmail to disable it, no? (If not then, definitely disabling sync of all mail folder should do the trick)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Not synchronizing the all messages archive folder is a solution too.
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
Hi,

I have the same issue when moving manually messages either with swipe right or via the notification action, the message is moved but not marked read although I've enabled the option "Mark read when moving...".

The problem occurs on a specific message I receive everyday.

I guess it will be the same if I write a rule to do it automatically.

Maybe the same problem as [MENTION=2267092]ths180[/MENTION]...

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please double check if all messages in the conversation are marked read.

Especially in the case of Gmail archived and send messages might be marked read later.

[MENTION=2267092]ths180[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
As far as I am concerned, the message is a single one and not part of a conversation.

I receive it automatically from a server every day.

The provider is not Gmail.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
For me the rule doesn't work.

It works versions before...
[Android Apps and Games] xmiseggs:
In an email already read, if I move the email to the right to put it as unread, when performing this action, the list of emails scrolls to the top (incorrect), if I perform the opposite action (from unread to read) visually remains and does not scroll the list of emails to the top (correct).

Try to do it in an email at the end of the list of all emails.
[Android Apps and Games] geronimoge:
Since the search for "changelog" had to many entries and I don't know if it was asked before ;)

I'd love to have a screen/popup showing the latest changelogs (like last 5) when opening the app after an update. Probably with an option to disable it since i don't know if everybody is sharing my opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
Wondering about the extra space at left. Does something go there? Just noticed it with Version 1.760
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have no plans to add this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Normally the contact photos go there.

I guess you have disabled generated icons, so the place of the icon will remain blank if there is no contact photo.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
There's an overlap in the rule creating screen. Was not there in previous versions.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks for reporting. It will be fixed in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks for reporting. This will be fixed in the next release.

Choppy scrolling here too on OnePlus 6t open beta 17

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

In gmail's own settings, try "hide" labels AllMail and Important and uncheck "show in imap" for best results.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
This was changed by you somewhere after 1.755. Now this is now a waste of space. The older version was better.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Could be, but it is better to have everything aligned.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
This is a design decision which I'm no agree. May be I'm not the only one.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.761

Changelog/download:

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

All reported bugs should be fixed and there should be a bit less lag when fast scrolling.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Cannot see any difference in behavior between

Collapse single message in conversation on "back" = off

Collapse multiple messages in conversation on "back" = on

and

Collapse single message in conversation on "back" = off

Collapse multiple messages in conversation on "back" = off
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
Thanks for this new version in which my issue about 'Mark as read' on message moving manually is now fixed.

Thanks again :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Tell me what you want and I will tell you the right settings.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
In Conversation mode on:

Read a mail in a conversation with only one message -> back -> see the unified inbox

Read a mail in a conversation with multiple messages -> back -> see the conversation thread
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Just enable collapsing multiple messages only.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
If I do this (one of the scenarios above!) back will lead me ALWAYS to the unified inbox.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Open a conversation, expand more than one message, tap back and the messages will collapse with this settings enabled. One back more will return you to the (unified) messages list.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Ahh!

The collapse settings interfere with with "Expand only one message at a time" ! Set this on, and and you will not see the thread while using back. This is a bug.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Why would this be a bug?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There was no feedback on the new messaging style conversation view.

Can I assume nobody is using this and remove it again?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
I don't see any advantage in it for me, so I'm not using it.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
It took me a while to even understand the view.

And I was always irritated when the icon was on the left side that a swipe action was happening at the moment, although I didn't start any.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
How to collapse should be totally independent from the setting "Expand only one message at a time" .

Anything else would irritate an user (like me) .

And don't you find it strange that

Collapse single message in conversation on "back" = off

Collapse multiple messages in conversation on "back" = on

and

Collapse single message in conversation on "back" = off

Collapse multiple messages in conversation on "back" = off

did not make any difference when "Expand only one message at a time" is on?
[Android Apps and Games] xmiseggs:
It is very original and visually makes the email thread clear, but it is an option that gives value to the FE application. Don't remove it there is always someone who can use it.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The expand settings have nothing (directly) to do with the collapse settings.

Collapse is just the opposite of expand. Only expanded message can be collapsed.

So, what exactly do you want to accomplish?
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Too much wasted space. I don't like it and don't use it.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set Expand only one message at a time on

2. Set Collapse multiple messages in conversation on "back" = off - watch back behavior

3. Set Collapse multiple messages in conversation on "back" = on - watch back behavior

The collapse setting ha no effect on the behavior. So it should be greyed out in the settings while Expand only one message at a time is on.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Seem logical to me.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Yes when only one is expanded multiple cannot be collapsed. Therefore the setting should be disabled in the config to be clearer.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Yes, indeed.
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
I like it but I don't understand why:

- the icons are larger than in the message list

- they are not on the same side for each message

- the account colored verticar bar is not fully left-sided on older messages

Maybe you have technical development reasons.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The messaging style icons have a fixed size, this is a design choice.

The icon is on the left for outgoing messages and on the right for incoming messages.

I am not sure what you mean by fully left-sided vertical bars.
[Android Apps and Games] Raegon:
Hi,

My name is Alex I just bought and supported FairEmail and Netguard.

I want to suggest a feature. I looked in the FAQ, didn't find any info so I suggest. Its amazing that you have enable the finger authentification but :

- could you enable a PIN/Password authentification ?

The reason is simple. The fingerprint option on my phone (Galaxy Note) first is on the back and its a pain to use then it isn't properly working. A simple pin would be perfect.

Thank you very much.

Keep going
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
Maybe this image could help
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Agree! This would be a great feature. I also have a Samsung and the back side fingerprint sensor is a pain to use. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks for supporting this huge project, Alex.

I will see if I can add this.
[Android Apps and Games] xmiseggs:
Me toca :) I have a suggestion ... I'm from Spain but I receive emails in English, could you add the possibility of translating the email, or as Google does with Gmail (within the email) or making a call to the URL for translation with Google Translator in the web browser.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The color stripe is where it belongs IMHO.

stable

version 1.762 "Unaysaurus"

Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/releases
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Can not be installed. Neither on Samsong pie nor on LOS 16. Seems 400k smaller than last version
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Same problem. Cannot install. Android 9
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have done a clean build again (releases are always clean built) and just released it as

stable

version 1.763.

Can you believe that faulty builds still happen after so many years? Recently project 'marble' was finished to fix all those annoying bugs in Android Studio. The first thing that happened after updating Android Studio is that all kind of things went wrong. Unbelievable.

I had just added PIN code as an alternative for bio-metrics authentication, so you are lucky [MENTION=10202229]Raegon[/MENTION] ;)

Note that this feature requires a secure device (=PIN, pattern, etc set) and bio-metrics (=fingerprint sensor) support.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail is privacy focused and should therefore not rely on services like this.

You can just long press to start selecting text, select what you want to translate and in the copy/paste menu there will be 'translate' if you have Google translate installed and are using a recent Android version.
[Android Apps and Games] xmiseggs:
Thanks is what I usually do :) better to ask if there is luck XDDD
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Sorry if I'm annoying again, but I see even in the latest version (thanks for greying out the option) no way to achieve this:

In Conversation mode on:

Read a mail in a conversation with only one message -> back -> see the unified inbox

Read a mail in a conversation with multiple messages -> back -> see the conversation thread

My nearest solution is "Expand only one message at a time" off (this is not what I want) and "Collapse multiple messages in a conversation with back" on

In a thread I have now to open more than one message to see the thread after tapping on back.!?

The thread is closed when only one message is open and I tap on back. Yes I know, because of the other setting (which I'm not a friend of) .

So there is currently no setting of my wished behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] cobben:
I have a experience based theory that complexity in any system increases automatically offsetting increased stability, so that statistically once every second year an unexplainable fatal fault occurs anyway, despite all efforts at making the system completely 100% stable.

I.e , that "2 years" is what we humans subconsciously deem acceptable for fatal fault frequency.
