Isn't everybody's Gmail account h(a)unted?

You'll need to change the setting above it too.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Oh. Now I understand the relevance of the auto expunge conversation a few pages back. I think it would be good to add this to the FAQ, as well, that one setting needs to be changed for the other to become available.

How to remove space on the left in folder list ?

Hi.

New user of fairmail here (full version) here.

Is it possible to remove empty space on the left of folder name/down arrow in folder list (check screen shot) ?

It's like 15-20% of wasted space.

I didn't find any option for it.

I have only one account so maybe it's used when there is multiple account. If this is the case, space should be removed when there is only one account.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This "empty" space is used to show the connection status of the folders.
[Android Apps and Games] AlainL:
Anyway to remove it ?

I don't need this info and I prefer to have more space for folder name
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The connection status is almost always important, so this "empty" spaces cannot be removed.

The compact folder view might be a solution for you (three-dots menu).
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
This would not be good because knowing the current connection status of each folder is extremely important. How about abbreviating the folder names accordingly?
[Android Apps and Games] AlainL:
Nope. There is the same space on left (but there is a few more chars displayed if that was what you mean)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Setting a shorter display name for the folders might be another solution as suggested: long press the folder in the folder list and select 'Edit properties'.
[Android Apps and Games] AlainL:
No need to remove it for everybody ;)

Just an option to display it or not would be nice.

Before, I used K9 mail and on desktop I use Thunderbird. This info is never displayed and I never missed it.

I have to admit I don't really understand the goal of this info in folder list. When in folder, ok it's usefull.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
O.k., if you only have a few e-mails or everything is fine, you do not need this information. But as soon as something goes wrong, the connection status - as well as the open processes - tells you where you can start troubleshooting most promisingly.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
1 star Play store ratings like "Not worth installing" are rather disappointing.

If you don't agree with this and didn't review/rate FairEmail in the Play store, please leave a review in the Play store.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] I have a doubt, is the message.msgid attribute the same as Gmail's X-GM-MSGID. In other words, if I select a message by msgid in FairEmail, am I selecting a unique message (that may be in multiple folders with multiple labels, but still unique)?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Message-IDs should be and are almost always unique.

Messages are deleted by uid / sequence number though, which uniquely identifies the message on the server.

Edit: the proprietary X-GM-MSGID is not the same as a message-ID.
[Android Apps and Games] Golikus:
When you write a new message, add an image and then check "Resize", the size selector is grayed out when you check and then uncheck "remove location".

Also, what is the meaning of this "remove location" checkbox ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That looks like a bug, I will look into it.

Remove location will remove all EXIF related location data.

Edit: this was cause by the little copy devil:

Thank you :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] loyl1:
Marcel,

Once again, many, many thanks for this excellent app! As an IT professional, FairEmail has everything I need in email to run my department without touching a computer.

The new search is absolutely killing it for me, and you keep adding features I love but didn't know I needed.

You are very much appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] djcsurf:
I've been using FairEmail for a little while now, ex Gmail user. Am very pleased but still getting to know, it's fairly complex at first sight with the amount of options but gonna stick with it. One thing I noticed is when wanting to add an attachment to an email it always saves message as draft. Is there a reason for this behaviour as I couldn't see any related setting for it?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The attachment needs to be linked to the message, so the message needs to exists and is therefore saved.
[Android Apps and Games] usbs:
Have you considered using blockchain for email using that technology? maybe you want to add DeepOnion blockchain as a privacy feature for this email app.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is outside the scope of FairEmail and requires specialized apps.
[Android Apps and Games] cm2003:
Hi.

I just started using FairEmail again (been a pretty early user) and love the progress it has taken.

Maybe I haven't seen the option, but is there a way to mark messages read, when I'm trashing them? So far all my mails I trash from the notification for example are still marked as unread. I'd prefer if they weren't :)

Cheers

André
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is a behavior setting to mark messages read on moving you might want to enable.

Alternatively, you can create a rule to mark messages in the trash folder read.
[Android Apps and Games] cm2003:
Thank you, the behaviour setting is just what I was looking for!

I have just released version 1.1130 Dilong

Changelog/download:

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

Thanks to a suggestion of [MENTION=9691440]Ines*[/MENTION], fetching messages from the database is now significantly faster.

Another addition is an option to use the Gmail thread ID instead of letting FairEmail group messages. Note that you'll need to clear local messages (long press folder in the folder list) and synchronize the message again to switch between Gmail and FairEmail conversation threading. Gmail is known to often group unrelated messages together based on the subject and time (and maybe the mood of some Google employees).

There is also new logic to automatically fix broken conversation threads. This will work as long as the messages can be linked somehow, both forward and backward in time.

Plain text formatting is now based on custom rendering for more consistency and to reduce white-space.

All reported bugs were fixed, some took quite some debugging and one appeared to be caused by an Android bug reported seven years ago!

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

[Android Apps and Games] aalto73:
With the last update Gmail messages are shown in the unified inbox whereas they shouldn't as the option to show them in the unified inbox is disabled for Gmail.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If I enable/disable a folder to be shown in the unified inbox (long press folder in the folder list), the messages appear/disappear in/from the unified inbox with the latest version 1.1132 for me.
[Android Apps and Games] aalto73:
Not for me since the last update. But one important information: in Gmail I redirect new mail to a second address (the goal is to migrate from Gmail). This second account is shown in the unified inbox.
[Android Apps and Games] Stirius:
Hi again. Could you please help me how to show the emails body in fullscreen mode by default and not to always click the button on the right side? I can't find it. 90% of our emails are cut in width because it's a longer communication with replies.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The best option is to check "Don't show again for ...".

Alternatively, you can do this for all senders in the privacy settings.

I like to know how big the messages are. Currently there is a limit of 1 MB for formatted messages, which is pretty generous IMHO.

Note that you can see the replies in the conversation too.
[Android Apps and Games] Stirius:
I was searching for it in the view tab, not privacy. I will test it tomorrow and let you know. The emails are not that big if you don't count images. But there can be around 5 replies and sometimes more people included in the conversation.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If possible, please send me a raw message file with this problem (via the three-dots menu just above the message text).
[Android Apps and Games] Stirius:
What's your email?
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Thanks. Lot of work

Messages load much faster - tested with search. Nice

Will revert on formatting when I receive

Sorry, but that problem of deleted drafts in Gmail still there (you were discussing with Dark_Eyes). Was something changed at their end to make it not work with recent versions? I hoped threading conversations Gmail style would help but no

One more thing, I recall at some point you had introduced a feature of selecting a portion to reply. Couldn't locate that method using ?. Please help

Thanks

How different or better this app is compared to Protonmail? I have seen that Protonmail is opensource too and they have free and premium service.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can long press 'Support' for my email address.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please reproduce the drafts problem and send me immediately after it the debug info by long pressing 'Support'.

Just select the text before replying to reply only with the selected text.

Can you please remove my email address to prevent spam?

Protonmail is for the proprietary Protonmail protocol.

FairEmail is for all email providers using standard email protocols.

[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Basically, of all the features FairEmail offers, Protonmail only has labels, stars and a crippled search function. And their proprietary encoding protocol of course.

FairEmail does not offer a mail server.

Protonmail is comparable with Gmail (but with more privacy), while FairEmail compares to Thunderbird (again, with more privacy).

I can't wait until Protonmail finally releases the Protonmail Bridge for Android, so that we can use Protonmail from within FairEmail.

Edit: I almost forgot, Protonmail does not have conversation threading in the Android app.

So he/she likes K-9 and should stay with K-9. After all K-9 has 3.8 stars in my Playstore.

Real question is why post this in a competing app? He obviously must have a vested interest in K-9 and wishes to damage the competition. Sounds more like envy than an honest opinion to me. (Maybe it's from a relative of K-9's developers)?
[Android Apps and Games] luks333:
Hi [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] you app is great, so good that I have bought the premium package.

However, I'd like to file a little complaint, which might be more relevant to those using the github release so the ones having to manually install updates: why do you release minor improvements every day or even twice or three time a day instead of combining them together and release a bigger update every 2-3 days?

Please do not get me wrong, I am happy with the app and I did not regret using it, but it's annoying to get so frequent updates every day.

Thank you for your understanding.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]

Is direct share mechanism different for apps?

For instance from Chrome, I can share a web page by mail to a frequently mailed person but for Google Photos, when I edit a screenshot, I need to go through the FairEmail app and then select the person to send
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
This has been discussed here recently. You can find the answers if you flip back a little:

1. you don't have to go along with every update, so you can set up the collection yourself according to your needs.

2. an update only takes seconds or minutes, which is much faster than the author needed for development.

3. it is better if a detected bug is fixed IMMEDIATELY by an update than if it stays in there unnecessarily for a longer time.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:

Regarding idiotic reviews, I am reminded of a very famous and often quoted verse in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and may be few others, which translates to

Besides, [MENTION=7497489]luks333[/MENTION], OP likes to fix problems as and when they are reported so that we all benefit. Not being sarcastic but it may help to turn "annoyance" into "appreciation" or just ignore and update whenever you feel like. Just presenting alternatives, no offense meant

Since 2 days, all the text (both headings and text) in emails received from one sender display centered. Other emails do not have this display problem.

Hi there,

for a few days I get a recurring notification about a mail, which is obviously no longer in the inbox. I can swipe it away from the notification area but sooner or later it comes back.

Anything I can do about this?

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Is this with a POP3 or IMAP account?

Which version of FairEmail are you using?

(check via 'About' in the navigation menu)
[Android Apps and Games] upD8R:
That's an IMAP account driven by GMX. Fairmail version 1.1129.

I just cleaned that account/inbox, so let's see first if the notification comes back. Maybe it was just a hickup. Only one strange thing: Clicking the notification brought me to the unified mailbox but this account is not part of the unified mailbox in Fairmail.
