Guys sorry if this question has been answered already but here goes.

I currently use posteo.de as my email provider and have inbound pgp encryption activated so all emails that arrive on posteo's server are encrypted with my PGP key.

Would it be possible to use Fair Email to automatically decrypt incoming mails?

If it is possible to do this, would I need another app such as openkeychain to mange my PGP key?

I am using pro version of Fair Email BTW

Thanks guys

I have just released

ALPHA

version 1.839

Changelog/download:

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

The way account connections are being managed was completely rewritten to allow individual accounts to be enabled/disabled/synchronized. Although I spent quite some time testing each and every use case, I can't be completely sure everything will always work as expected, which is why this is an ALPHA release. I use this version in production myself though.

No connections will be made anymore when there is no work to be done. [MENTION=10357333]sleffy[/MENTION] [MENTION=3138030]m0d[/MENTION]

This rewrite made it also possible to add a new account setting 'Synchronize manually'.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.

[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
With V 1.839 the umlauts of sent mails are displayed correct and how expected.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] , nice update. appreciate all your work & time.:good:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks. Nobody reported any problem, but I discovered one small problem myself: the status bar notification will not always show the right number of accounts and operations.

For such a big change, half of the sync service logic was completely rewritten, this is a really good result.

Edit: the problem appeared to be an edge case, which will rarely happen in practice, so I am upgrading the alpha version to a beta version.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Love the ability to sync manually. Don't need all accounts syncing in real time. Thank you!! You are the Android rock star!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Did you notice the accounts set to manually sync will be synchronized too when refreshing (pull down) the unified inbox?
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Fantastic !!thanks
[Android Apps and Games] hteles:
Hi,

Just did.

Thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] Mangold2:
I hope my question wasn't asked, at least I can't find an answer through the search.

The counter in the badget shows me new unread messages. If I mark read mails as unread mails, they are not displayed as counters in the badget.

This is different with K9. Is this a bug, or do I just not find the setting to change it? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In the notification settings you'll find "Let the number of new messages match the number of notifications".

You'll want to change this option according to your preferences.
[Android Apps and Games] Mangold2:
Thanks, that's it, this option was enabled :good:

This can be fixed by using a firewall, e.g. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.ukanth.ufirewall

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

Yet fixing this would probably solve my problem too: My mailserver is available only through VPN. Hence if VPN isn't ON then I'm left with annoying notification of failed connection.

Can we at least have a switch to turn this notification off? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can just disable the warning notification channel.

Note that the most recent version allows manually sync of individual accounts, which might be a solution for this.
[Android Apps and Games] ildar_prophet:
unavailable in Android 7

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Then I lose the sync while connection available?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
:(

Yes, manual is manual.

Edit: which provider are you using with this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] ildar_prophet:
Enterprise. Yet those paranoid admins don't have IMAPs and SMTP publicly available, only through VPN.

[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
A little display bug. The two fields are "mixed".

See screenshot
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
In English using the word 'duplicate' without clear context can be problematic because it is a noun, adjective, and verb.

I bring this up because of 'Duplicate in All Mail' at bottom of Conversation view. I honestly don't know what 'duplicate' means here. I provide a screenshot of synonyms of 'duplicate' from Collins Thesaurus of the English Language for both demonstration and aid in perhaps finding an alternative.

I'm not suggestioning alternatives att because I don't know what confusion my suggestions would cause in other languages.
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
Hard to shorten French texts

[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]: it would be better to put the two buttons one above the other than on the same horizontal line.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
What do you propose instead of duplicate (message) ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will see how I can improve this, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
Maybe you can say "Duplicate found..." and it becomes a noun.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
'Duplicate message in ...' maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
Yes, nice!
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
"Same message in xxxx folder"

Possibly less confusing when translated
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
First explain what this means, then I'll suggest something.?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
In German I translate 'Duplicate' to 'identical message in ...'

And also in German it's the same with the little place on point 4 of the settings - so I abbreviate 'Synchronisation' to 'Sync' and both have place on the same line. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Shouldn't it better be 'Duplikat' or 'Doppel' ?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
If there is a difference between 'Duplikat' and 'identische Nachricht' you are right. ;)

Perhaps I should use 'Doppel gefunden in ...' - how earlier adviced with the Verb 'found' it is clearer.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
'You can now send an email as an attachment in Gmail'

https://www.xda-developers.com/gmail-send-email-attachment-eml/

The current approach is to view an EML attachment with the built-in viewer, just like any other attachment, with the option to store the contained message in the inbox of an account, so you can see all details and act upon it, like replying to it. If you think this should be improved, please let me know by telling how.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Some providers, notably Gmail, can store the same message in different folders (called labels in Gmail). FairEmail will show these messages as duplicate in a conversation thread.
[Android Apps and Games] heisert:
"Doppelt gefunden in" please (t is missing). ;)

Just searching for a other word too....
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I like to keep it short because after seeing the message one time you know what it means ...
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
It means a noun 'Ein Doppel' or 'Ein Duplikat' - so without the 't' is corret.
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
Why not use more words, and just state plainly what it is, 'Duplicated in All Mail', if that what it means, for instance? No guessing/wondering/investigating its meaning.
[Android Apps and Games] heisert:
Nein es ist falsch.

https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/doppelt
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Darum geht es nicht! Es wurde ein Doppel oder ein Duplikat der Nachricht gefunden.

Good evening,

I am thinking of replacing my current Android email client by FairEmail pro, but after some tests, I could not find a feature that I absolutely need, and looking at this forum, I did not get an answer either.

Could you please tell me if it is possible to configure FairEmail so that:

- when a mail is deleted from the IMAP server using the webmail or from another device, it remains in FairEmail local copy of the folder (would it be inbox or outbox) as long as I do not delete it in FairEmail (so, synchro does not remove the mail from the phone)

- when a mail is deleted in FairEmail and moved to the trash folder, the only change on the IMAP server is that the mail is tagged as read (so, it is not deleted neither moved to the trash folder, it remains in its folder may it be inbox or outbox)

?

Otherwise, I enjoy the app, congratulations for its convenience of use, and functionalities that my current client lacks such as printing and saving as an eml file.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Not sure if this setting does exactly what you want, but you shouls test it out.

Try,

Long press in the folder; i.e. inbox

And select edit properties,

Then enable/check keep all messages,
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
I am fine with it as it is but a somewhat related point.

I usually "print" as pdf a single mail and share it to avoid any possibility of receiver not being able to open it for whatever reasons.

I am wondering is it is possible to print an entire mail thread or conversation similarly? Again, I have no idea if it is something that is needed or a feature creep but I would like to do that.

In the absence of this, scrolling screenshot is my option, which serves the purpose but in an ugly way

Thanks for your time
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
IMAP is supposed to sync two ways, so deleting a message somewhere will result in deleting a message everywhere. If you want to keep a message, you should move or copy it to an (archive) folder. Alternatively, you could save the raw message into a file.

Moving a message, also to the trash folder, should move the message on the folder too. This is used a lot, so I am pretty sure this works properly. If you think it does not, please reproduce the problem and immediately after it send me the debug info by long pressing 'Support' in the main navigation/hamburger menu.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is not possible and I have no plans to add this, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.841

Changelog/download:

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

[Android Apps and Games] PastagaCigales:
Thank you for your answer, but unfortunately, it does not change the fact that deleting a mail on the server also makes it disappear from FairEmail when syncing.

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

Thank you, Sir, for your answer. That's a pity, I was looking for settings such as "Sync server deletions - remove messages when deleted on server" (I don't tick it) and "when I delete a message - mark as read on server" (I choose this option) available in the Android client I currently use.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Why would you want to do this? You won't have a backup when there is a problem with your device (reset, lost, etc), which is why I think for now it is not a good idea to add this feature.

Note that you can hide messages in FairEmail, if you don't want to see a message anymore, but still want to leave it on the server.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Hi Marcel !

I have made a fresh install of FE v1.841.

The sent messages are not automaticaly sent.

I have to go in the outbox and swipe down to start sending.

(I don't use delay)
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
I have the same problem

. Have to go to outbox and pull down to send.

Encoding bug in 1.837

Yesterday F-Droid upgraded me from 1.836 to 1.837. Messages in Cyrillic are with screwed up encoding now. Upgraded to 1.838 - same story. F*cking Android 9 doesn't allow downgrade or uninstall with keeping the data/config so now I need to fully uninstall the client and start from scratch. I assume mechanism to force a downgrade via the repo is not working either (not that it will bypass Android 9 restrictions - as far as I understand even root access won't help). So I can only hope an upstream release fixes the bug. Ready to provide logs if necessary.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This problem has already been fixed in the latest GitHub releases:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/releases
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Another thing, sometimes (often but not always), new inbox messages are not sync.

I have to force a sync manually to make it appear in the inbox.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This should be fixed in the latest version, but please let me know if it isn't.
[Android Apps and Games] TheGrave:
I forgot to mention - I tried the 1.841 APK (I'm on 1.838 now) but it just says "App not installed" without any specific error. I guess the build for F-Droid has a different signature and I need to wait for them to publish it?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You'll either need to wait until F-Droid builds a new version or uninstall the F-Droid version and install the GitHub version instead. F-Droid builds irregularly, which can be problematic when there is a critical fix. This is why you are advised to use the GitHub version. See also here:

No change for syncing.

I deleted trashed a message using the webmail of my provider, the message is still in the trash in FE.

I attach a screenshot, why the hours are different between the 3 accounts (Free/MBF and A&P) and why the last syncing hours for Free and MBF are so old (13h09) compared to the hour of the screenshot (13h45).

(And no change during the time of writing this post)

EDIT :

I just forced manually the sync at 13h54 (see screenshot), and a message of 13h24 appears.

(And the trash is empty now)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The screenshot shows the time the account was last refresh (kept alive), not directly the last sync time. When this happens depends on the keep alive account setting (by default each ~24 minutes), the internet connection and the email server.

Is the trash folder in FairEmail set to synchronize? Does the provider support push messages? (you can check that in the list of accounts)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Although I understand why you want this, IMHO this will make things more complicated and settings harder to find. The same happened with the mark-not-as-read settings, which was moved to the account settings. People often ask if it is possible to add such a settings, while there already is one!

Since you can always change the default, I am not going to change this to a default per account, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
duplicate
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
The 3 accounts have the same settings by default.

All the default (inbox, sent, trash, junk, draft) folders of my providers (Free and Gmail) are synced as you can see in the screenshots.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Messages will be shown unread when at least one message in a conversation is unread, which also applies to messages in the archive folder. So, next time, please double check if non of the messages in the conversation is unread (by default FairEmail will open a single unread message in a conversation).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Can you please send me the debug info (long press 'Support' in the main navigation menu) ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I can confirm something is not right, but I have yet to figure out what.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
In FE or by my side ?

It's weird, some it works. I just received the mail notification of your answer at the same moment in FE and webmail.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
For some reason the keep alive doesn't seem to work properly always, which is not your fault.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
I have mine set to 15 minutes and it seems to be working fine now. Previously it wasn't. Maybe I haven't received enough emails yet to detect a delay
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Changing the keep alive settings is useful sometimes, see also this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq39

However, changing settings won't fix the problem I have seen in the debug info of [MENTION=4913921]BreckZeBoulay[/MENTION] Moreover, I have noticed this problem once or twice myself too and it is probably caused by recent changes in how the keep alive works, which were necessary to fix another problem.

It may take a few months, but I will figure this out too ;)
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
With you , probably more like a few hours:)
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thanks. I don't use conversation threads but I'll keep an eye on it.

I've never been able to detect a specific sequence of events that preceeds it. What happens is that I suddenly notice many message headers are suddenly bold (unread) in the unified box when FairEmail is opened to check for new emails. Messages that I know I've previously opened and read are suddenly now in bold. They're all unrelated messages, not part of any thread. If they have anything in common it would be that they're all from a recent time span.

It is possible that this phenomenon happens after a recent phone reboot (cache related or redownload?) but I'm not sure. I've rebooted the phone (for FairEmail unrelated reasons) numerous times without this happening so there may not be any connection. I'll try to keep an eye on it but it is a rare occurrance - though it is real when it happens. Maybe someone else has noticed it.

Edit

By mere coincidence, it just happened again! 6-7 messages I know I read prevously are suddenly in bold, on various topics and almost all from December 9. While other existing emails are unaffected.

One thing I had done prior to noticing this is downloading and installing a FairEmail update from github. I did not reboot before this happening.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
I don't know how long this is the case, but the color code in the color picker is white text on white background in the light theme.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
1) The indentations in conversations - depending on the mail address - no longer work.

2) When I switch the read status of ONE mail, ALL mails in this conversation are switched in read status. This was not the case in the past and there only affected the one visible mail, which is more correct in my opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
For me the indentation still works. Please make sure it is enabled in the settings (by default it is disabled).

How exactly did you mark the one message read? Note that marking a conversation read (not a single message) will mark all messages in the conversion as read.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
1) The corresponding setting is - as always - switched on. Sreenshot is included.

2) With double-click.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Double tap will mark all messages in a conversation read. This was always the case.

All messages in the screenshot seems to be incoming messages (inbox), correct?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
The fact that a double click on ONE mail also switches the other mails of the conversation has not struck me so far - and should not be in my opinion either.

The mails are all in the inbox of the Lima server, but exactly for these indentations I had defined my GMX sender mail address extra for the identities of the Lima server. And for a long time it worked there as well.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You double tap a conversation, not a message, so it is logically that you mark all messages in the conversion read (else the conversation would still show as unread, which is also the reason why this works like this).

Regarding the indentations: please check if the right identity is still being recognized. A message is considered outgoing when the 'from' address and the identity address matches.

Regarding both issues: nothing was changed to this recently.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
I thought I'd only switch the one mail visible in the unified inbox; other mails about this conversation may be days earlier.

The From address and the Identity mail address are the same - and as I said before, it worked earlier the same way.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please send me the debug info and a screenshot of the message with the addresses section expanded that should be recognized as outgoing.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It appeared that the identity was disabled.

Disabled identities will not be used for 'via' recognition.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Due to the recent changes related to individual account management, push messages so not working 100% reliable. I will try to fix this tomorrow (MET).

Most used recipients shown first

Hi,

Would it be possible to show the most often used recipients on top of the filtered names list while typing in the name in To, Cc or Bcc fields?

E. g. Typing 'mar' shows any Martin, Marcel, Marcela, Mara, Marek... If I typically send messages to a particular contact Marty Johnny, I would like to see it top on the list.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION], I just noticed a small bug. The number of new notifications doesn't add up to the actual number of new notifications on the header. See screenshot (says 2 new messages, but there are 4 new ones)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Do you use Android contacts or local contacts?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That's odd. Since when is this?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
No idea, I can't say I really pay attention to that, but it just caught my eye this morning. I'll keep looking and report of I see a pattern...
[Android Apps and Games] cogano:
Probably Android contacts - I sync all my contacts with DAVx5 from my Nextcloud CalDAV server.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Android contacts do not have usage data anymore (formerly there was), so this is not really possible anymore. Besides that, I am not sure if this is a good idea because it will inevitably result in questions and I already get a lot of those. I have put this on my to do list with a question mark for now.
