Hi,

maybe that is related to the list of device vendors with I/O issues in their Android version, leading to database corruption and subsequently data loss, which Marcel added to the FAQ recently:

FairEmail/FAQ.md at master · M66B/FairEmail

Fully featured, open source, privacy friendly email app for Android - M66B/FairEmail

github.com

It seems that in addition to Xiaomi, now also OnePlus is listed.

I myself use a OnePlus 6 but with LineageOS, and have not encountered any corruption in the past years (also a long-term Pro user here ;-) ).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
OnePlus is listed too now because recently this started occurring on OnePlus devices too.

My guess an Android update is responsible for this.
[Android Apps and Games] zzz2002:
Running on Lineageos 20 (Android 13) no problems so far.
[Android Apps and Games] jpl90:
Thanks to you both! I hadn't seen that. I've been using OnePlus for years and never had this kind of issues. I'll see if I can report that. Now I'll configure everything again and eventually backup the config, which I normally don't do.

I also have an old OP5T and want to flash LOS so as to give it a bit more life. I'm glad to see there are happy users :).

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I haven't see this problem with LineageOS yet. So, maybe LineageOS isn't affected.

There seems to be a mistake while choosing S/Mime sender's address:

Pls open composing a new email.

Pls change 'senden über' from main id to associated id.

Pls choose recipients adress...

... and voila:

'senden über' id did change back to former choosen id.

It must be set a second time to perform wanted sender's id.

May you check this?

Thanks and best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please disable 'Automatically select identities for new messages' in the send settings.

[Android Apps and Games] lupastro82:
Hi, sorry but is first time with fairmail (Best, with a mail client different than Google) 😅

First of all, very great job!!

Now, switched from Gmail cause at every reset (changed custom rom) also with best backup apps all account will be lost everytime.

With fairmail, for sure I can backup without problem.

But now, store, GitHub, f-droid or XDA. Seen store beta is = to GitHub. So, I think can be ok (just to maintain a valid update).

Now the real question:

1) I understand the shield significate (is for auth) but not the little cloud (at left in this image) and other icon with percentage at right. Any help about this?

2) favicon: read on GitHub is disabled (no more supported) now, but here I can continue to use and seems to work so good. Is best to disable?

3) is there a telegram support channel (there is thousand of setting, I've setup, but remain some question about it)?

Thankful 😊
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
1) Please see the legend via the navigation menu (left side menu) for the meaning of the icons.

2) Favicons are available in the GitHub version only.

3) No, this forum thread is for support.
[Android Apps and Games] lupastro82:
Thank'u, see now the Legend, but as u can see in screen, second account result disconnect instead I receive email continuously as expected (ok, fixed!! were enabled in all profile, but not by single flag) 😅

Remain the percentage (sorry, but still not understand).

Ok, I've installed at first time GitHub release, then updated from store and favicon remain. Anyway, I've disabled (seems to be slowly when enabled).

Ok, is fine.

Ty again, and kind regards 😊
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Is this a POP3 or a Yahoo/AOL account?

Did you enable auto optimize in the receive settings?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Regarding the OnePlus database corruption: the common factor seems to be Android 12.

In version 1.1960 sqlite synchronize is set to "extra":

https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_synchronous

I am not sure if this is going to help though.

Configuring a new or authenticating an existing account with OAuth appears to have been non-functional since version 1.1958. I would like you to double check if it works correctly again by authenticating existing accounts via the quick setup wizard. Reports are welcome!
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Just re authenticated. Works like a charm.
[Android Apps and Games] lupastro82:
I tried to uninstall and reinstall from store (as beta).

Now, for unknown reason, fail with oath setup (stuck with reload in oauth setup page). Tried another client, no issue with this 🤔

Edit: ok, seen now latest GitHub release. This work so good 👍
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please make sure you are using version 1.1961, see above.
[Android Apps and Games] lupastro82:
Yep, GitHub release work.

I donated via PayPal but maybe I committed an error.

[Android Apps and Games] HerrT:
No problem for me. Still small...
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Doesn't help unfortunately

Mailed you with an alternative arrangement
[Android Apps and Games] folusmile:
No problem
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
It's for the better.

My suggestion would be to implement without feedback as the app size would still be very small. One really can't complain about an additional MB
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Should be no problem.
[Android Apps and Games] BunnyWarrior:
The only mail app I dare to compare FairEmail with is K9 and the latest version of K9 is about 4,6 MB. Cannot see no problem here.

I think it depends on the performance increase achieved, if it is small, i'd prefer a small apk. But then there are the crashes (never had one) that have to be fixed, too.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
If notification of service is disabled to mask the permanent status bar notification, is there consquences on the working of FairEmail ?
[Android Apps and Games] onliner:
No, I'm using it since the first day with the permanent notification turned off, 0 problems.

ProTip: longpress in status bar permanent notification and disable it, if you disable the global notificacion service you won't receive new email notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Now that a widget, previous/next navigation, opening messages from notifications, a less compact view, multiple select, encryption, etc has been added, is everybody happy with FairEmail?
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
You bet I am:good:

Hope folks donate

Edit: Out of curiosity, are you planning to release it formally in Playstore or keep it the way it is?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Not that it is very important, but there are not many donations/purchases.

Reading the Play store comments of the test version was one of the reasons to ask if everybody is happy. Most Play store comments are either complaints or unreasonable feature requests. Not very encouraging/motivating in any case.
[Android Apps and Games] Banayat:
I've noticed I am not able to sent any email through my gmail account :crying:

Receive emails is still possible.

Google support link does not help solving the problem :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Did you check the link in the FAQ? How did you authorize your account?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The recent comment about authentication is an example why publishing in the Play store might not be a good idea.
[Android Apps and Games] Banayat:
Yes ! No 2 factor authentification here. Just standard login :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Did you already tried to create an app password as suggested in this link (from the FAQ):

https://support.google.com/mail/accounts/answer/78754

Edit: this is why you can better select an account to authorize Gmail.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Well I can't see the comment but can imagine:(

On a separate note, PS description under security could do with edits, now that app permits insecure connections too
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The comments are here in this thread.

I don't want to promote insecure connections, so I am going to leave it like it is.

Version 1.1962, available on GitHub now and in the Play store test program after Google's approval, has a workaround for the Outlook / Office 365 IMAP IDLE problem as reported here:

Outlook / Office 365 IMAP IDLE is broken

IMAP IDLE of the Outlook IMAP server (outlook.office365.com) is broken, which is clearly illustrated by this logging: 09-02 19:03:25.954 14491 14630 I..

techcommunity.microsoft.com

The workaround is to issue a DONE command every 4 minutes. This reduces the time new messages will be delayed, at the expense of some extra data and battery usage.

FairEmail will no longer be supported on Chromebooks. ChromeOS/Android has many bugs for which the app is being blamed rather often. In other words, FairEmail on ChromeOS is not supportable.
[Android Apps and Games] caprihome:
That's really pity,

I like it on my duet 5 and acer chromebox

Will it still been available in the playstore on chromebooks?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The app will not be available for ChromeOS via the Play store anymore, but if you have the app already installed, it will keep being updated.
[Android Apps and Games] caprihome:
:cry:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am sorry, but if I look at the average Play store rating for ChromeOS devices, this is the only logical choice.

Moreover, it is hard to support ChromeOS because the app can't be side loaded easily. So, providing test versions is basically not possible.

Edit: I used ChromeOS for over two years and big parts of FairEmail were in fact developed on ChromeOS. If you ask me to describe ChromeOS in a few words: nice idea, about the safest OS around, but still lacking many important features and pretty unstable. There were times I couldn't develop for days because a ChromeOS update broken something yet again.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The past week, there was only one day on which the average Play store rating didn't drop. Most of the negative reviews are unfair, like saying that the app deleted important messages from the Gmail trash folder. Right, Gmail does auto delete messages from the trash folder, not the app (unless explicitly configured), and why would anybody store important messages in the trash folder anyway?

There were also complaints about too many updates. Should I stop trying to fix things like a broken Outlook IMAP server?

On the other hand there were a few friendly messages and a few nice reviews, but overal I see more negative than positive things. I am answering a few thousand questions every month (there are currently over 800,000 messages in my archive folders), weighting mostly on the negative side considering the time spent, which on the other hand is often well spent because people are being helped and better informed, helping to improve their privacy.

Tomorrow is my birthday, a day I traditional evaluate the past year and make plans for the next year. You can consider this part of it.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Happy birthday Marcel. Best wishes
[Android Apps and Games] olifee:
I can, at least to some degree, feel your pain: May day-to-day job is in a supporting role in IT, in academia. While parts of it should also be project work, development, and evolution of the systems we operate, support has started to eat up more and more of my work time every day — and that's not only due to the increase in support queries, but also due to an increase in questions which can be interpreted as unfair criticism based on misunderstanding. These take so much more time and energy to answer. Positive feedback has become very rare these days.

I have the feeling this is a global effect — I hear similar things from my second job (where I just help out a few hours every month), which is in a completely different field.

My personal interpretation is that this has increased more and more especially in the last year. People's increased frustration, partially due to reduced direct communication (increased isolation due to the virus etc.), partially maybe also because they are also more and more overloaded and can't relieve their stress is starting to show more and more, leading to a vicious cycle especially for those who work on the "front lines" of support.

I still hope this is a temporary effect of the times, but it's also weighing heavily on me, and I know colleagues who have changed from the first line of support to do behind the scenes work to evade this fire. I'm still too enthusiastic and too hopeful for times to change again to do so. You are in a different situation of course, but I hope that seeing that this happens in other places, too, and is nothing personal at all, helps at least a tiny bit (although you probably know this already).

I personally feel that FairEmail has made my life better, as I have already said earlier in this thread — but it does not hurt to repeat it. It helps me survive the storm of mails every day, and I am very grateful it exists, and it has the best kind of maintenance (and maintainer) I know.
[Android Apps and Games] caprihome:
Sorry, tried to update on chromebook from 1.19.57 to 1.19.60 in playstore, no chance.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is a lot to say about this, but this has been going on much longer and I don't think it is caused by recent misfortunes, only that it accelerated things. How people behave has changed a lot in the more than a decade I have been developing open source software. Let's say that I won't start any new big projects anymore. Maybe I am contributing to the spiral this way, but I think I have already done quite a lot to help people protect their privacy.

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:

It was surprising for me that updates won't work anymore too.
[Android Apps and Games] caprihome:

[Android Apps and Games] mkasimd:
Usually, customers only contact the vendor if they face troubles and have problems. So you'll see more negative feedback than positive ones when people text you. Meanwhile, a lot of those who value FairEmail will be satisfied and not contact you at all.

That doesn't mean they don't appreciate your work. They just had no reason to contact you.

That said, happy birthday, mate. You should perhaps forget about Fair email for the day and just enjoy your me-time / family time instead.

Happy birthday

Happy birthday Marcel! Please do not get discouraged by the negative comments as there are many others who really appreciate your work. You have given the Android community an impressive email app which I wish there is a similar one for Windows. I'm using email with my own domain so apps like yours is really useful.

My main reason in posting here is that I'm unable to give donation through Paypal. Whether I use Paypal or debit card, I keep getting the error that says "Donations to this recipient are not supported in this country". I'm from Singapore and I have checked online that Paypal has withdrawn their donation service from Singapore many years ago due to insufficient customers and Singapore financial regulations.

Is there another payment gateway for me to do the donation? I have a Wise.com account so if you have one as well, I can donate through that platform.

[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
It's stuff like this that make me wish I could reply. I support end users and once had a end use who was upset because their desktop trash got cleared out which meant an important file got removed. Who stores important documents in the trash digitally or even in the physical world? No matter how good an app is it can't save stupidity.

You will never find a program that doesn't require an update. The frequency of updates tells you that the developer is on top of things, cares about their app, cares about security, etc. So why complain about a good thing.

Happy birthday and I'm looking forward to many more good years of Fairemail.

That's nice, thanks.

Unfortunately, I see things spiraling down fast, including the general knowledge and general attitude of people, and I don't want to be tightly connected with this anymore. I think I have done my best to help people protect their privacy, but at this point in time I consider this mostly as a lost cause.
[Android Apps and Games] BostonDan:
I understand. I have tried to help the community as well (not to the extent you have), and many people want to take others work, criticize it, monetize it, or Google scours the forums for ways to limit android. Not as much fun anymore as when I got my original Droid (great phone at the time, I might add!)
