Although I like the idea, "Firefox Translations is an experimental feature". Besides that, the number of languages is rather limited. Edit: "The current version allows translation from Spanish, Estonian and Czech in and out of English, as well as English into German".

Moreover, I tried several client side translation engines and even Google's one doesn't translate properly. So, maybe when this is matured in a few years.

In the meantime, DeepL provides excellent translations and since the company is specialized in this and uses a subscriptions model, I am less concerned about privacy issues compared to for example Google translate.
[Android Apps and Games] eed00:
Definitely! It's still maturing as a technology, hopefully in the coming year(s) we'll see it improve. It was more like something I see as "to be kept track of" for, maybe, future implementation

I fully agree

Hey Marcel, I just got a few remarks on FairEmail and hope you'll consider them.

1. Removing the Authentication Icon for Sent Mails

The app shows authentication icon for sent mails. Of course, it's always unauthenticated as SPF, DKIM and DMARC will fail. So, similarly to the draft folder, wouldn't it be better to disable the auth-check and icons for the sent folder?

2. Missing Title in "Send"-Setting

For the option to use either "Re:"/"Fwd:" or a localized alternative, a title is missing. The title would help users understand better what the setting is for. E.g. "Subject-Prefix for Responses & Forwardings"

3. Second line of an Option-Title in "Behavior"-Setting barely visible

One of the titles have a line break as it doesn't fit into the device's width. However, the second line can be barely read. See attachment
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Sent messages can be authenticated, for example when they were sent by an external service. Moreover, it would look "uneven" if there was an empty space.

I will add a title to the re/fwd option and I will fix the behavior option title shown on the screenshot.

Version 1.1664 is available on GitHub now and in the Play store test program after Google's approval.

Changelog/download:

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

The dimmed translate button in the message composer has been replaced by a semi-transparent floating action button, so it is at a fixed place instead of below a scrolling text. I like to hear opinions about this change.

@mkasimd the suggested changes #2 and #3 are in this version.

Hello,

I am facing an icon in front of a folder I can not find in the legend:

Postausgang <=> Outgoing mail

What is the meaning of this icon? How to hide?

Kind Regards
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It means the folder is read only (view only) on the email server. So, you can't update or add messages to this folder.

Hi, I read every single post here, but sometimes I can't follow the pace of new features. You stated in the change log:

* Added SVG support for images in messages

...

* Added option to show number of messages in the navigation menu (display settings)

What is SVG support? I can't find the option to show number of messages..

Furthermore I have played around with the authentication warnings and status. For neither message in the inbox I get a green shield although I have an email from my working account (a very big german tech company). If I click on the shield most of the time the DMARC authentication is missing. I then have deactivated this check but the shield stays the same. Could you please explain how this works in detail?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see here about SVG:

Scalable Vector Graphics - Wikipedia

nl.m.wikipedia.org

The options to show the number of messages stored on your device in the navigation menu can be found in the display settings, section General, last option.

There will be a green shield only if DKIM, SPF and DMARC are okay (pass).

Hi Marcel,

After returning to FairEmail recently I have been using it daily since then and have developed a list of possible bugs, some questions, and some requests too :oops: I've tried to read all of this thread, and the FAQ, and thoroughly familarise myself with all of the app settings but I apologise if I have still missed something somewhere.

For information, I use FairEmail more for it's customisability than for it's privacy features so I normally have both 'Confirm Showing Images' and 'Show Reformatted Messages By Default' set to Disabled. Also I'm using v1.1662 from GitHub.

THANKS :)

Bugs(?):

- I receive many emails that are forum notifications. A couple of those don't hyperlink the URL when 'Show Reformatted Messages By Default' is set to Disabled. Clicking 'View Reformatted Message in the email body fixes this, but it is possible to fix it permantly? The affected domains are cruisersforum.com and kodi.tv (let me know if you need screenshots). Also, messages from these domains are not grouped by conversation. I guess it's a related problem.

- I've tried various combinations of Behaviour settings but when there is only 1 message in a conversation, and after reading it I then Mark Unread from the email body, FairEmail returns to the Conversation (where there is only 1 email), instead of returning directly back to the the Conversations List like I thought should happen. Is this my error in settings, or is it by design, or is it a bug?

- I have one email that is badly formatted and I thought I should bring it to your attention. I can forward by email if required (see screenshot attached).

Questions:

- Why do deleted messages show in a Conversation? Can I change that in the settings somewhere? (see screenshots attached)

Requests:

- I have 'Attempt To Recognise And Disable Tracking Images' set to Enabled. My family (and others) request read receipts from me via a desktop gmail extension that inserts a small tracking image. Would it be possible to manually allow Tracking to be Enabled / the sending of a read receipt, from within the email message body? I've attached 2 screenshots of how this works elegantly in a desktop gmail tracking blocker extension that I use (hovering over the blocked notifcation allows clicking to Unblock). Maybe it could also be possible to create a whitelist of email addresses too, for which this type of tracking is always enabled?

- I use Gmail Labels/Folders and automatic Gmail Filters to send received emails to those folders A LOT. So I also therefore use 'Show In Navigation Menu' in FairEmail for a lot of folders too. Desktop Gmail offers this feature as well (Show In Label List, at the left side of Gmail) but with the added choice of 'Show If Unread' (see screenshot attached). This keeps the visible Label List much much shorter, only showing Labels/Folders that have Unread Emails. Would it be possible to add something similar to FairEmail too, as an additional choice? ie: 'Show in Navigation Menu, if UnRead'
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you use the original message view, a message will be shown as-is with an embedded browser tab page. Most browsers won't auto link plain text, like FairEmail does in the reformatted message view.

Marking a message unread will collapse it, but the conversation won't be closed. If you did this accidentally, it would be inconvenient. Moreover, this function is generally not used much.

Regarding the badly formatted message: please save the raw message via the horizontal three dots menu just above the message text and use 'Report issue' in the navigation menu to send it to me for inspection.

Sometimes messages are being deleted accidentally and showing them in conversations is a simple way to find them back, also considering that individual messages are rarely deleted from conversations.

You can tap on the link of a tracking image to open the link (via the open link dialog) to perform the tracking, but why not use read receipts instead?

Folders can't be shown conditionally in the navigation menu. I think this won't be genrally useful and I am afraid that it will lead to additional support questions like "where is my folder?", so I don't think it is good idea to add this.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Hi, I sent me self an email and just get a mark at SPF. Is this something we have under control in our email account (sorry somehow off topic regarding the app)
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
A further observation to the authentication shield: the okay shield has a green check mark to visualize that the email is okay. The shield with the cross has no color diff between the partial shield making it hard to detect if an email has neither authentication protection. Could you make the cross in red?
[Android Apps and Games] kr428:
Alls; hope not to ask a question already answered (briefly have been browsing the FAQs before): Is there a way to display attached images inside the app rather than having to open an external gallery? Not really a big issue, just a convenience thing... :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I could, but I don't think this is a good idea because there will be a lot of partially authenticated messages.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
At the end of the message there is a mini gallery. It is enabled by default, but maybe you disabled it in the display settings?
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
The partially authenticated messages will get a shield with an explanation mark. Leave this color as it is. Emails with no authentication at all have a cross in the shield. I would make this cross red. I double checked my inbox and I have only a few of them in the inbox but I can hardly distinguish the shield from others (due to the color)
[Android Apps and Games] kr428:
Ah indeed, I should have scrolled further down. Thanks. :)

Hello Marcel!

I just noticed that the option "DeepL integration" is no longer visible under "Miscellaneous". However, the option is still displayed in the search: "Miscellaneous: Deepl integration". When testing on my old phone, the option disappeared after installing 1.1658. Is it perhaps related to the commit "Really enable DeepL for Play store"?? Btw: I had switched off the Deepl integration.

(My version is 1.1664.)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks. This will be fixed in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will not show indicators for not authenticated messages anymore.

Another thing what I have noticed. I played around with themes and switched forth and back. Once I had the yellow purple night theme which showed me the main bar (with the search icon) in yellow. Now, after trying some others, the same theme shows me an orange bar. Did I miss something?
[Android Apps and Games] deechte:

Threaded messages in FairEmail have related message IDs. Your provider might have other rules to group messages.
[Android Apps and Games] tiktok1:
loving the updates and apologies if I've missed a similar request but the main issue for me now is the notifications in android.

I will often read an email and then mark as unread, because its my todo for later, and alao leave an email unread if i need to deal with it later.

Consequently the new email notification is now meaningless as its always there.

For me i'd prefer that once the new email notification is selected, thus opening the app the notifications are cleared.

thanks

I'd rather just see notifications for unread email since last opening the app
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Update to the latest version and you can swipe individual messages away.
[Android Apps and Games] tiktok1:
User issue. Where do I swipe away 43 unread emails.

The notification dropdown juat opens the app no matter if I swipe or click
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Expand the notification and swipe away the single new message notifications. The summary notification cannot be swiped away.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
OT and I searched the thread but didn't find any post that mentioned it.

[Android Apps and Games] glops:
the manual synchronization of the files does not work
[Android Apps and Games] tiktok1:
ok got it, but would make more sense just to clear it once the app has been opened because they are no longer new emails

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Files?

Manual sync on messages works for me. See the FAQ about this.
[Android Apps and Games] glops:
yes the manual synchronization of the files does not work anymore
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Since the message list now always shows threads (conversations) and there can be more than one message in a conversation this is not logical anymore.

I will think about swiping the summary notification away. However, the disadvantage is that you can miss messages because the summary might not always show all messages.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
As said, it works for me. Moreover, nothing was changed to this in the recent releases. Did you already check the FAQ?
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
App is not the issue. Maybe check and make sure account sync is enabled. Or, it might be an authentication issue (google and outlook has issues when not using APP passwords)

Also, you do not provide any useful details, as in logs/version/provider, etc.

(Account needs to have synchronize setting enabled in advanced section for it to work.)

Manual synch works fine. After update to latest release, too. No issues whatsoever.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Hey you did it [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION], great! Although I still have to expand a message in a single message thread again, after clicking on it in the unified inbox view.

Not for me, at least not if I didn't read the message myself. If a colleague of mine has opened a message in a shared mailbox and wants others to read it too, he will just mark it unread again and I will still be notified. Unless I remove a notification myself, it should stay if and as long as the message is unread.
[Android Apps and Games] glops:
it's good it works

I often use reading directly on the server

I completely forgot to change the sync days to have old messages
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It was quite some work, but it was the only way to make navigating from new message notifications possible and to get rid of the difference between single messages and conversations.

Expanding a single message or single unread message in a conversation by default will be added, but is technically not as easy as it seems. So, have a little patience.
[Android Apps and Games] deechte:
I don't see it yet, maybe because I'm not on the beta channel. Based on your description though, I don't think it is what we meant. It's not about marking read, it's about marking unread. Let me clarify.

I've set the general setting to show messages in conversations to off, cause I prefer a chronological inbox over grouped messages. Now, when I open a single message, it opens fine. When I then choose to mark it unread from the menu within the message, it directly turns to a conversation view with just that one message (marked unread). I chose to not use conversations, that's why it's unexpected. It's also useless to show a conversation with one message. And it then requires and extra tap to get back to the inbox. The desired action in this case, if you ask me, is to return directly to the inbox and mark the message unread, upon tapping "mark as unread".

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It should be unread (so, typo).

You should be able to install the GitHub version as an update over your current version:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/releases
[Android Apps and Games] deechte:
Hi, ok, didn't know that.

Yes, with the latest release and the proper setting this bevaviour is as desired. Thank you! I do think though, that the general conversations on/off setting should take care of it as well.

For @jmh2002 : the option is on the "behavior" tab.

[Android Apps and Games] jmh2002:
THANKS, that fixed some unexplained issues after I made a lot of changes to my setup.

Thank you for reconsidering this request :) Yes it is what I was looking for, however currently it functions for all Conversations, whereas I think it should only function if there is only 1 Message in a Conversation.

Otherwise it causes navigation to jump back to the Conversation List when there may still be unread Messages in a Conversation.

THANKS again.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This was the whole reason it worked as it did ...
[Android Apps and Games] jmh2002:
Ah, ok. I didn't understand that it was plain text formatting that was causing these issues as I hadn't noticed this in gmail before. But I checked and these emails are indeed plain text.

Would it instead be possible to set FairEmail to use Orginal Message View for some sender domains, and Reformatted Message View for others?

Ok that's a pity, I use this feature all the time in gmail because I have a lot of Folders and it's convenient 'at a glance' to only see the ones with unread messages (ie: the ones that need attention).

But if it's technically impossible to show them conditionally in the Navigation Menu, then as a work around I have trialled setting General > Show On Start Screen > to Primary Account Folders instead

This helps, because FairEmail then moves all the Folders that are being sync'd to the top of the Folder List.

Would it then be possible to conditionally show the Folders with Unread Messages first, at the top of the Sync'd part of the Folder List?

That seems like it would make sense, if it is technically possible.

THANKS :)
[Android Apps and Games] jmh2002:
Ok, I guess I've just generally experienced that Marking Unread navigates back to the Conversations List when there is only one Message in a Conversation.

That's the distinction that I'm trying to make - conditional on when there is only 1 message.

But I can click Back 1 more time instead :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This will be in the next release (likely today):

Auto close on unread / one message · M66B/FairEmail@c90ebd6

Fully featured, open source, privacy friendly email app for Android - Auto close on unread / one message · M66B/FairEmail@c90ebd6

github.com

Please use 'Report issue' in the navigation menu if you encounter any issue. If nobody reports an issue and I don't see it myself, it won't be resolved ...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can use "Don't ask again" when switching to the original message view and this will become the default for the sender or sender domain of the message.

I will give the folder order in relation to unread messages some more thought, but I won't change this in the next release, which is a release candidate for the next Play store release.
[Android Apps and Games] jmh2002:
Thank you for the attention to all matters Marcel, it's most appreciated. I don't always have time to report issues immediately, but I do make a list, check them, and then come back to you when I can :)

I'm not very familiar with the 'Dont Ask Again' feature. Since my default setting is 'Show Reformatted Messages By Default' set to Disabled, is there also a:

"Don't ask again when switching to the Reformatted Message View" too? (otherwise I'm going to have A LOT of domains to set manually to Original Message View, ie: all of them in general, except a few troublesome plain text ones).

I understand, I appreciate you considering the request. I certainly don't need it changed/fixed immediately. I'll wait because I'm sure you will come up with a good way to manage this situation.

THANKS again :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can't have "all" and "some" together, so if you want to choose which senders/domain you want the original message view for, you'll need to enable the safer reformatted message view again.
[Android Apps and Games] jmh2002:
Done, although I'm not sure if correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] jmh2002:
Understood. I guess I will need to give that some more thought, since my case seems to be the opposite of that - 99% of my domains should be set to Original Message Format so that will entail a lot of manual work.

So far I only have this plain text url hyperlink issue with a few domains, but they are forum notifications so it is a lot of messages every day.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
From a privacy perspective, which is the main goal of this app, the default for this setting is fine.
