I already am changing the account names to shorten them but would prefer if there was a way to show more of the names. When there are unread messages then the account names in the menu are shortened even more so I cannot tell them apart.

The account list that can be set to view at startup would be great, but if I have my account set to show Unified inbox at startup then there is no way to get to it. A button for this would be nice.

Similarly, there is no quick way to get to Unified inbox from the accounts list shown on startup. A button would be nice here. At first that is what I thought you added in the last update but then I realized that each button is just for the account that it is next to.

Another idea is that in the menu that shows accounts you already skip lines between each account. Why not put the update times and numbers of unread messages below the account names so that the account names could be wider?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The navigation menu has the size recommended by Google and there should be room enough to show at least part of the account name, so I am wondering why that isn't the case for you. Maybe a screenshot will help.

I have no plans to add switching the startup screen dynamically. This will only complicate things, while hardly used by anybody. It is also not a real solution to your problem, but a workaround.

Edit: you can long press the folder in the top action bar to select accounts as well.

Hi there,

interestingly the first mail where the "picture" is missing.

Is this because of this strange (spam) name (too many AAAs?) ?

Gesendet von meinem GM1913 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If possible, I like to receive the raw message file of this message.

How to: in the three dots menu above the message text there is an option to save a raw message file.

You can long press 'Support' in the navigation menu to get to my email address.

Edit: I have already found the cause of this and it will be fixed in the next release.

Hi,

New pro user here and wondering about two features:

-I want to define a specific folder of an account to start in.

-An option to hide the lock icon for encrypted messages in the message list

Hello!

I purchased FairEmail last year.. I recently changed phone, so need to re-activate the pro features on current install.. how do I do this? I'm quite certain I did not purchase thru google play store
[Android Apps and Games] Sid32:
Find out how you purchased it. Look for a confirmation email.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks for supporting the project.

I guess you want to set the start screen to unified folders. You can long press any folder in the folder list to add or remove it from the unified inbox (folder list).

There is no option to remove the lock icon from the message header.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This warning (you can ignore it) means you enabled editing of the username of the email address in the identity settings and didn't fill in a username. You can disable warnings like this by disabling send reminders in the send settings.

Hi again,

Pro user since yesterday here and I was wondering how integration with the stock calendar app could work.

I've been using Aquamail before and when I added an Office 365 account, that account would show up in the stock calendar app.

Now, in FairEmail, when I add the O365 account it is not available in the calendar app. And I have no wait to add it if it's not linked to an app (Mate20 Pro - Android 10). Also on that note, when I received the same meeting invitation:

-On Aquamail, ics attached, I can respond to it and it is added automatically to the calendar

-On FairEmail, no ics attched only a link to a web version of O365

So, my request: better calendar integration would be fantastic :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail support invites too, but this requires an ICS file because FairEmail can (obviously) not guess the details of the invite.

If I remember me correctly, there is a link in Office365 messages to enable ICS files.
[Android Apps and Games] geekmiki:
Thanks for your replies, amazing to see a dev that is greatly involved in his project!

As, I said the ICS is there and visible in Aquamail, but not FairEmail (just to make sure, I am talking about the exact same message in the two different applications).

Regarding the integration towards the stock calendar? Is this something that will/could happen in the future?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please send me the raw message file of this message. You'll find 'Save raw message' in the three dots menu just above the message text (you might need to scroll the menu). You can long press 'Support' in the navigation menu to get my email address.

If the ICS file is recognized, there will be a button to add the invitation to the calendar.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION], if I treat a message as spam and mark Block sender, a rule is created for that.

If later with another mail from the same domain but a different email address I decide to block the entire domain, is the previous rule deleted, or will it still exist?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The previous rule will still exist, which is not really a problem because only one rule can move a message.

This doesn't look very nice on my Samsung Tab A 10" when in portrait mode :(
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That puts me in the middle of "I cannot see the account name" (@ jw111) and "this doesn't look very nice" (you). So, what now?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That puts me in the middle of "I cannot see the account name" (@jw111) and "this doesn't look very nice" (you). So, what now?
[Android Apps and Games] avalx:
Well, I just put out my observation because in the landscape mode the sidebar is the same size as before - i.e. narrow. So I thought it was not intended to be so wide in the portrait mode.

It really doesn't bother me much as I hardly ever use my tab in portrait mode.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The sidebar in landscape mode will have the same size as in portrait mode, unless three column mode is enabled, in which case the sidebar has a limited width to keep space for two other columns.
[Android Apps and Games] avalx:
Right, I didn't know about that and missed that option.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will show a wide navigation drawer (menu) depending on the screen width, up to a certain limit. Hopefully, this will make everybody happy.

If you installed FairEmail via the Play store, a review, especially a positive one, is highly appreciated.

At times, like today, it looks like people only write a review to complain about something, which is rather frustrating.
[Android Apps and Games] oktalv:

Can I leave beta program. Is it publicly available on play store without beta.
[Android Apps and Games] Only.Me:
To me it looks like the "operations" screen is not updating as expected...

For example, when I pull down to refresh (in the inbox), the spinner starts. When I look at the side menu, it could say "operations (14)". Clicking on it, opens the "operations" screen, but it does not list any operations. Waiting some seconds makes no difference. Going back to the side menu could then show "operations (8)". Going back to the inbox, could mostly still show the spinner.

Sometimes the "operations" screen does list operations, but mostly it is just empty. Until finally there is a centered message "No pending operations"

I don't really use the "operations" screen much, so this is not very important to me, just unexpected behaviour.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
When operations are being executed, the database will mostly be quite busy, so initializing the screen can take some time. At least a spinner should be shown though.
[Android Apps and Games] Only.Me:
Where should the spinner be shown? Only the inbox? Or also on the operations screen?
[Android Apps and Games] ae00711:
found the email, clicked the link, didn't work :(
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In the operations screen in the center.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Just reply to the message for support.
[Android Apps and Games] Only.Me:
I have unfortunately never seen a spinner on the operations screen... Only at the top of the inbox screen.

Mostly the operations screen is just blank (with some seemingly permanent text at the top, warning of bad things that will happen if you delete operations).
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Here is the spinner also in the operations screen (shortly) seen before the text is displayed that there are no more pending operations.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No pending operations means all operations were executed, which is a good thing. Anyway, the operations view is mostly for debugging problems, so if everything works, do not worry about it.
[Android Apps and Games] kojid:
Good morning,

I have a small feature request.

I use email aliases with mailbox.org (paid provider).There I have an account with a main email address for private and an email alias for newsletter, website-logins,.... So I don't have to pay twice to keep order by using multiple addresses.

Unfortunately, there is no alias-separation in FairEmail. I am wondering if it would be possible to split one account (consists of main address and alias) into separate folders.

It should be technically feasible because "delivered to" could be used for separation.

Or perhaps there is already an option that I have overlooked?

Anyway, thanks for this awesome app!
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Why you don't use rules for separation?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can match email addresses with identities, please see this FAQ for more information:

You can also use rules to automatically move messages.

Feature request; moving emails

One feature that's excellent is the"moving emails". I like the suggestions of the last 5 folders and the search function. I have one suggestion to save a step. When I want one of the suggested 5 folders, I tap it and it is then put in the entry area and then I have to tap it again to select move the email to that folder.

Why not move the email immediately when selecting the folder from the recent folder list, saving one step?

Chris
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The suggested folder names could be a partial name and the same folder name could be used for different child folders. In other words the suggested folder names could be ambiguous.
[Android Apps and Games] cogano:
I have been using the app for a few months now (free version). So far, so good.

What I am wondering about is the snooze icon, having a prominent place in the main view.

As per FAQ it simply hides the message(s) for a defined period of time and displays a notification when it passes.

Is this snooze functionality supported also by some IMAP servers or is it only a client side matter? (I use dovecot server.)

P. S. I use reminders and snooze in MS Outlook for work Echange accounts, which works great for me.

Thoughts are welcome.

Odesláno z mého SM-G930F pomocí Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Snoozing messages is not supported by the IMAP protocol, so this is done locally on the device only.

Some providers have a custom, proprietary implementation of snoozed messages.

Maybe it is time to support the project with a donation or purchase?

Just noticed the feature to record and send a recorded sound message. Pretty cool!

Is there a way to make the playback not loop continuously on playback? That is, only playback once, not as a loop?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail does not playback sounds, so another app is responsible for this.
[Android Apps and Games] Fairemailuser:
Hi. Is there a way to use alternative email adresse when I write an email?

Yes, you can add an extra identity in the setup or alternatively, enable editing the username of the email address.

[Android Apps and Games] rmitchell_xda:
I'm just starting to evaluate using this app - an open source, privacy focused email client is a real find. A huge plus for me is your support for multiple identities (which is so much better than a lot of clients I have tried).

I have a probably fairly unusual setup. I have my own domain with two sub-domains specifically for non-personal email accounts. I assign each online site I use a unique email address at one of the two (dependant on how trustworthy I feel they are) based on the company name. All requests to those domains are redirected to the main email account at the domain.

Generally I don't have to reply to many of these emails but when I do I obviously need to use the correct "from" address.

Setting up additional identities for each sub-domain with a regexp of ".*" works brilliantly for detecting the correct one from the "to" address but will use the fixed name required for the identity. Enabling editing of the user name allows this to be changed but still requires manually typing the correct name. Unfortunately, since the draft window doesn't show the original "to" address I can't use copy and paste.

Is there any chance of adding a feature to allow the match from the regexp to be set as the initial "from" value rather than the static value in the identity?

It's not a deal breaker. The only email client I've used that does this remotely well is Thunderbird with Virtual Identity and this no longer works in recent versions.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If the identity is correctly recognized, it will be used on replying. If the username of the 'to' address is different from the username of the identity, it will be filled in automatically.

If this does not work as expected, check if the right 'via' address (=matched identity) is shown in the addresses section of the received message. If this is the case, replying to the message should select this identity and auto fill the username if it is different from the identity.

If no, please describe your case as accurately as possible.

Note that matching identities by domain name is not possible.

Thank you for the prompt response.

I have discovered the problem. I misread the FAQ entry as just requiring the folder "Synchronize" option to be selected rather than having to select the "Delete local messages" option first.

Now it correctly replaces the user name as hoped.

I think I will definitely be using this excellent app as my replacement client from now on.
[Android Apps and Games] Utb122:
Hey! Thanks for the beautiful app!

I've got a question though

When I am writing an email with the app on my Android phone and switch to another app, the mail I am writing is closed and moved to the drafts folder. I'd much prefer for it to stay open as I frequently rotate apps to copy things or check my calendar. Is it possible to change this behavior?

I am sorry if I did overlook an obvious solution!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you go back via the recent apps screen, the draft will still be open.
