Sorry for dumb Q but can't find the option to copy one mail from Yahoo to Gmail. I recall this was possible and it would show a warning too
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can only copy a message within the same account (three dots menu in the message action bar).

After that you can long press to select the copied message in the message list and move it to another account.

Thanks for clarification on moving mails

A different Q. I want to update the app with stable releases (since I am not following the app developments rather refinement) but now that they aren't marked as stable, how do I go about it?

I use Github version not Play Store

Edit - maybe look for this "This version will be available in the Play store after Google's approval."? And download that version?
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
You can also wait for Google Play update notification and then download the apk from GitHub.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Hey [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION], I guess since this commit:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/commit/6e7e890043d752c16256832b5b9dd63c80990c6d

I get a lot of unknown character that display like small diamond with a question mark in it. I never had that before. I guess this isn't expected... See screenshot
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am currently busy with this. If possible, I like to receive a raw message file of an example message with this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
I just sent you an email. Thanks!!!
[Android Apps and Games] cobben:
Only a problem with French language?

Swedish, Latvian and Russian display normally.

version 1.935
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Yep, good catch on the french there :) Special characters like é è à ç are all broken.
[Android Apps and Games] cobben:
Something weird is going on.

One of your characters seems to be messing up my post here on XDA.

Notably the "c" with a diacritical mark under shows with a blue color on the mark.

It seems to delete everything I write here after it.

They all show correctly in the mail I got from XDA with your reply.

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released version 1.936

Changelog/download:

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

This version should fix all character encoding problems. Note that you'll need to synchronize existing messages again to fix the encoding for already downloaded message texts, either individually via the three dots message action menu 'resync' or by long pressing the folder in the folder list and selecting 'Clear local messages'.

The character encoding problem was caused by trying to fix some edge cases. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have also added options to disable confirmation of opening of links, showing images and showing original messages, with a big warning. Some people really like to live dangerous and keep nagging.

If you are looking for a stable version: the GitHub version does not only add new features, but also fixes discovered problems. Sometimes things will break, but that doesn't mean the Play store version is more stable.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] cobben:
Here is the screenshot of what this post should have been.

Edit

Can't post the screenshot, uploads ok but then says "post creation failed".

My post is truncated after the first two special characters.

??
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
That's weird! But FairEmail has the fix now, everything works fine for me once again. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] cobben:
The previous version worked fine for me also, but I do not normally get anything in French.

Why the XDA app is acting so strangely I have no idea.

No-one ever posts anything in French?

But the final solution is rather obvious -

the French language is acting up and should be quarantined. :laugh:

I have just released version 1.937

Changelog/download:

A notable addition is sorting on number of attachments, which might be handy to find a message with an attachment or to delete large messages.

This is a release candidate for the next Play store release.

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released version 1.938 1.939

Changelog/download:

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

This version adds sort on priority and adds a rule type to set the importance of a message (low, normal, high). Messages will always be sorted on importance first, so you can use this to sort certain message on top/bottom.

Priority: set by sender

Importance: set by you

This is a release candidate for the next Play store release.

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

This is my favorite email app. Is there a setting to stop the swipe left to delete?
[Android Apps and Games] Tonecontrol:
Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
It would be nice to be able to set importance manually without having to rely on rules. Just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will think about this, but this was not the initial idea behind the importance rule.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There are already so many options and since you can easily change the identity when composing a message, I am not going to add yes another option for this.

I don't think grouping of found messages by account is a good idea (and certainly not straightforward to do) and I am pretty sure this will result in support questions. Instead you can search in the folder where you expect the messages. Popups, questions, etc might be acceptable for you, but others might be annoyed/confused. It will also not make the app easier to maintain in the end.

I don't think it is a good idea to do something different than standard and again: everything added needs to be maintained and supported too.

I am not sure what you expect, the composer view can be scrolled already and an app cannot force the keyboard to be smaller or your screen to be larger. Note that there is already an option to hide the media toolbar in the three-dots menu and that the style toolbar will be shown only when selecting text. The toolbar with 'Send', etc is essential to send a message and should therefore never be hidden. Note that there is an option in the three dots menu to make it compact (without titles).

I have never had an option turning off/on on scrolling up/down or swiping left/right. Anyway, all solutions come with advantages and disadvantages. If this would be changed there would likely be other disadvantages. Note that the settings screen has been changed a number of times already, so there must be really good reasons to do this again.

If there is exactly one read/unread message is will be expanded automatically. If there are more unread messages, this does not happen to make you aware there are more unread messages. When all messages are read they are not expanded automatically because FairEmail cannot guess which one you want to read. I don't see how this can be improved without side effects, do you?

If you want to trash a single message, you should use the trash icon in the message action bar. By default deleting messages/conversations needs to be confirmed.

Like said before, any solution has advantages and disadvantages. IMHO it is better to limit the number of found entries.

Moving a message needs selecting a folder, which is basically already a kind of confirm.

Showing the undo in this case is actually a bug, which I will fix.

The problem here is that the view is being closed, so any popup/messages, etc will be closed with it.

You can set the swipe actions in the account settings (Setup, step 1, Manage, tap account, at the bottom).

Swipe actions are meant as a quick alternative to existing actions and should not show menus/bars.

Half swipes are not Android standard and since swipes are easily accidentally done it is not a good idea to add this either.

Hey xda, when setting up an Outlook account in FairEmail , has anyone experienced after a time , receiving a security warning from Microsoft complaining about your account being accessed?
[Android Apps and Games] M3GATROLL:
yes i found it, sorry :)

thanks, your app rocks

i paid the pro version

+++
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is just to specific for an extra option.

Sorry, you can't have everything. Just search in all messages, which is a nice extra feature in addition to what an email server can do anyway.

It still is non standard and will therefore not be added.

The material design standard says that there can be at most 5 actions in a toolbar, so the media and main toolbar can't be combined.

Swiping/scrolling is powered by Android/AndroidX and cannot really and shouldn't be customized. Swiping/scrolling should not change settings.

In conversation mode conversations will be opened, not messages. If you want to open individual messages, you should disable conversation mode (grouping of similar messages) in the display settings.

The message toolbar works on messages, the conversation toolbar on conversations. Handling conversations is just different than handling messages and both cannot really be combined.

Sorry, this will not be added.

You can enable confirmation in the behavior settings again.

On one hand it is desirable to close the conversation and on the other to keep it open for the undo. Both cannot be combined and choices have to be made.

This will not be added, sorry.

Hello,

as already told - great app with great dynamical developer & support !!!

feature requsts or to think about...

.) open emails from folder => could be improved to use the "field click" on different zones to open a folder: with all email, or with active filter: "unread only" (i guess that is what most wanted to have

so, eg: left + mid zone click can open the folder with given configured filter

so, eg: right zone click can open the folder with ONLY UNREAD EMAILS (not sure, if configured filter needs to be overwritten

.) mark read email as UNREAD => stay on the email, but mark it as unread, and not mark it anymore as read (in case of scroll or whatever ....

(that is a typical case, that i read an email on ym phone, but then i see that is an important, and i want to set it back to "unread", and then it is showing this email as uncead in overview ? currently having a strange behavior..

.) MOVE email to folder (mark an email as deleted or as SPAM) -> should do -> go to next email

currently there is a strange behavior and it jumps back to overview ?

the normal behavior should be, that it jumps to next email -> or maybe an option to configure that behavior ?

behvior where to click...

eg: the folder disply size can be splited in "left" | "middle" | "right"size email - if click in the midle (left middle /
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This will most certainly result in lots of support questions because it is very specific behavior. Therefore this will not be added.

There is a menu item to mark a message unread again.

You can configure this in the behavior settings after disabling auto close.
[Android Apps and Games] Some0ne:
Great app

This app looks great,

Will rate soon
[Android Apps and Games] camro:
=> after marking it as "UNREAD" , then it jumps back to a list and show only this 1 email, so that behavior is strange ....

yes, you are right ....but, that could be also handled via an extra setting to activate or not.

###########

next whaat i have seen, there is a notification that new email is arrived, and when i click on it, it jumps to the email, but i can'T go then from there to next item, that would also make sense to go to next/prev message. isn't it ?

#####

when you mark an read email as unread it jumps to a kind of overview list, and show only this 1 message, doesn't matter what i configure.

this behavior is not possible to change ...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
After marking a message unread, it will be collapsed because there might be more messages in the conversation.

I am not going to add an option for an non-standard feature. There are already enough options.

You can go to the next/previous message by disabling auto close and configuring this in the behavior settings.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There were so many people demotivating me in one or another way today, that there will be no more new features for a while.

hi,

i just want to let you know that i really really like your app. Atm it isn't installed because i want to buy the pro feature to get the export feature and didn't find the time yet to make the bank transfer.

But FairEmail is great app for all privacy concerned people and i'm really thankfull for all your time and hard work you spent on this already. You make a great job.

Cheers:svetius:

PS: I looked at your Faircode Donation/Activation site and saw that you use recaptcha from Google. I understand fully that you want pretend bots/spam but on the other side the use of recaptcha leaks a lot of data to Google.

I mean this is a very privacy focused project and recaptcha makes a bad taste at least on my side. Please don't take this personally; your project itself is great.

But can you look for privacy friendly alternatives for recaptcha?

For example i found this one:

https://www.phpcaptcha.org/

It is open source and according to german dsgvo site there aren't any third parties involved.

Personally i must say sadly that i'm not willing to buy the pro Version when i need Big G for this.

Cannot send emails whilst connected to 4G, but able to on wifi

Hi there

I have been having a persistent issue with the app (version 1.914 currently, but prior versions were the same) where I can't send e-mails when connected to 4G. I have only one (Gmail) account on the app. I have no issues with using wifi. The error that comes up is:

This effectively breaks the app. I would appreciate some pointers on fixing this. I have no issues receiving mail. This issue occurs with both my phone and tablet. Both are Samsung (S9 and Tab S6), unrooted, and with stock ROMs.

Cheers,

Hi, Marcel,

i became aware of your mail program when you released version 0.28. :)

Now FairEmail can do more than I need and because of the privacy settings I recommend your app for every occasion.

Don't get annoyed and stay tuned - you are doing the right thing in any case...

Thanks for your good work!

Hi,

I'm new to FairEmail. It may be a thumb question, but how can I see if a gpg signature is valid? Or is it clearly shown if the signature is invalid?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
They can always get the pro features.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Other smtp mailboxes do connect.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Can you send with the same SMTP server from another app?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The log is clear, the connection to the SMTP server is timing out after 60 seconds. I don't see how this can be a problem of FairEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
I think it's a gmail problem, now I get an alert that somebody tries to use my password. Prbably have to find that setting about third party apps.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

Haha yes, now they'll have to :D
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Go to the account settings and use 'Select account'. This way you won't need an app specific password.

FairEmail will only connect over secure connections, so if NordVPN supports this, you could select to not route FairEmail traffic through the VPN. The problem of all VPN providers is misuse, like sending spam. They often block connections for this and might do this too aggressively.
[Android Apps and Games] Namnodorel:
In which one? I'm on v0.60, and it's still there. The settings activity does flicker up for a frame or two when I click back, but immediately disappears again.

I guess that comes down to personal preference. I'll use FairEmail along with the other application for a while and see what I'll end up liking better.

Another question: Folders that are server side have an "INBOX." prefix attached for me. Is this intentional? I haven't seen them in any other mail application I've used.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I can't reproduce this.

Edit: I have tried to fix this.

FairEmail displays the folder names as the server delivers them.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
I was a gmail problem: an attempt to sign in from an unknown device. Which is a bit hard to discover when the device where you should receive the email alert about this is that same device :silly:

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
How about long press to permanently delete from trash?
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
A long press on each message to delete or on the folder trash (you say no a few days ago for that solution) ?

Why not but without confirmation after.

Swipe is a quick action, long press is.... long :D
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am human, so I can change my mind ;)

Long press has less risk for accidental deletions.

Edit: this will be in the next release.

I still like feedback on the setup help ...
[Android Apps and Games] TheMadRuffian:
Well done on the setup help.

I have a suggestion to change the first line saying, "Mostly setting up FairEmail is fairly simple." to just "Setting up FairEmail is fairly simple." as i really think reassuring an everyday Joe would play a vital role with his first impressions of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
It's all clear to me (but I found setting up pretty straightforward anyhow).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Updated, thanks for the suggestion. Anything more?
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:

First thx for quick and honest answer. It's sad to hear but when no other captcha systems fulfill your needs except big G it's a as you say necessary evil.

But please please can you make the 'export setting' feature available in the free version? I'm asking because i need to wipe my phone every month to install the monthly security patches and everytime i'm forced to setup FairEmail completly new which is very annoying over the time.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I get about daily a question to make one of the pro feature freely available, if I would, there would be no pro features in the end anymore.

Your turn to be honest: how much did you pay for your device? Is a very small fraction of that not worth to support the FairEmail project?
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
FairEmail is worth every penny that you pay for it, and a lot more. It is the best out there!
[Android Apps and Games] poiki:
