[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I would like to know if the latest beta version is working okay for you, especially if it is connected when it is supposed to be connected and the other way around. If you are lazy, just press thanks, else please leave a comment.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
All seems working fine for me with metered connection :good:
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Since I have more connection problems in general in the last week's when using Netguard, I can't really say something reliable about connectivity when using FairEmail :/
[Android Apps and Games] CircleCode:
Small feature request: would it be possible to define the fixed part of editable sender in each identity?

For example, my mail provider supports custom defined wildcard, and since `+` is often forbidden on badly coded websites, I've configured the pattern `prefix-*@example.net`. So I'd like to customize the * part.

If too complicated, a free input would be okay too.

Except for this request, this application is wonderful, and works fine for my usage. Thanks for your reactivity, and all the time you put in it
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can enable this in the advanced settings ...

Edit: sorry, I didn't read your request properly. I will think about this
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will allow you to start the extra part with a non alphanumeric character, which will result in not using the default '+'.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Will two actual versions of the same email exist on the server? So, occupying extra space?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
For Gmail: no. For other providers: yes.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Sorry, but I don't like that. First of all, that is not the way I treat my archive. I archive a message if I don't need it anymore, but want to keep it for reference. You've created an alternative for Gmail's All Mail feature, but that is not what an archive is meant for.

Secondly, I think it is fundamentally wrong to keep two copies of one message, just for searching.

I propose that for people who like this feature, you create a separate All Mail or Search folder, where copies of messages are automatically stored. Using the archive for that is not the proper way.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Maybe there is some confusion:

moving to the archive folder: moves the original message to the archive folder; the message disappears from the source folder

moving from the archive folder: copies the message from the archive folder to the target folder; the original message stays in the archive folder

In the last case you can always decide to delete the original message from the archive.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Yes, I understood that. What I tried to explain is that, if I move a message from the archive to another folder for example because I need to work on it again, I don't want to leave that copy behind (and I certainly will forget to delete that copy). After I've worked on the message, I'll put it in the archive again. (By the way, what happens to that now? Will there be two copies of the same message in the archive?)

So normally, when I find a message in the archive, it means that it is handled and done with. Now suddenly a copy can exist elsewhere, meaning I actually have to handle it.

And another thing, I don't know any mail application that treats mails this way. Most people use desktop apps too, like Thunderbird or Outlook, and those apps don't use this technique, making it basically ineffective.

Maybe you can make a switch for it. For me, this can be a deal breaker because it interferes with the way I work too much.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will move from archive again. Gmail will keep a message in the archive however. This is Gmail behavior which I am not going to try to fix with FairEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Thank you, Marcel.

Gmail is stupid ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will be a release candidate for the next stable version. If you want to translate FairEmail in your language or update an existing translation, now is a good moment.

See this FAQ about how to:

[Android Apps and Games] wokawoka:
This evening I've tested a little bit the imap tagging function and it indeed seemed to work great. The app was remembering the previous tags used, very nice.

Thank you once again
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
A few thoughts on search.

Currently, search always includes the messages on the server, even if Browse messages on server is turned off in Advanced options.

It seems more logical to me that in that case only locally stored messages are searched.

That has a view advantages:

it is more consistent with the Browse on server setting,

search will be much faster,

you only search messages you deem important (because it is defined by the number of days to sync you've set),

data usage.

You can consider a Search more on server button below the search results, for those that might need it (maybe that will lead to questions about adding a similar button in other views).

Since FairEmail maps subfolders at the same level as their parent (I mean, a subfolder inside a main folder will is treated as main.subfolder instead of main/subfolder as some other email clients do), maybe it's easy to implement a search function from the folder view also. That would probably include local messages only, to limit search time.

Searching folders recursively, it might even be possible to search all locally stored messages from the Unified inbox.

Normally, I only search using my desktop computer, because it syncs all messages on all servers. Actually, I've tried the search function for the first time while writing this. These are just my thoughts about improving it. And please forgive me if I'm wrong about technicalities :D
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks for your suggestions, however:

Disabling search on server when browse on server is disabled will lead to understandable questions because they are not really related to each other.

Disabling search on server will not make things faster because searching local messages is done first already.

When you search for a message, you want to find it and not wonder if it is in the window of synchronized messages or not.

Unlike synchronization, you can choose to not search on a metered connection.

A search more button is not needed because you can simply scroll down to search more.

Searching from the folder list would only duplicate the existing search, which is where most people will expect it.

FairEmail deliberately has no note of folder hierarchies.

tl;dr; I like to keep it as simple as it is, sorry.

About folder hierarchies: a mobile device is not really suitable to drill down hierarchies, not to say that it is rather inconvenient, and displaying hierarchies takes horizontal screen space. Scrolling a list is very fast anyway. Not obeying folder hierarchies allows for sorting synchronized folders on top as well.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.192

Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases

This version is a release candidate for the next stable version and is not available in the Play store.

I have simplified/improved some things, like moving messages from the outbox to the sent folder for providers like Outlook that override the message ID and removing the dependency on UIDPLUS, so more providers can be supported.

Moving from the archive works again as it did in the previous versions.

If you start the 'extra' of a sender address with a non alphanumeric character, it will be used instead of the default plus. Examples:

extra: test+extra@example.org

*extra: text*extra@example.org

And there is a somewhat secret new feature, can you find it? ;) (hint: check 'all changes')

Thanks, purchases and donations are appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Long press primary folders to reload ?

This reload all the accounts or only the primary account ?

Manual reload has been moved to long press 'Setup' and show log to long press 'About.
[Android Apps and Games] CircleCode:
Thanks, you're really awesome?

By the way, it seems I had a couldn't connect notification while in airplane mode:

During the night, I put the phone in airplane mode.

At the morning, the notification was here... However, I thought you were detecting connectivity, and would not try to synchronize with no network at all. Is it a bug? (If it is, is is not annoying at all, just a report of what I noticed)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Airplane mode should result in a connectivity event to FairEmail. Please send me the debug info by long pressing 'Support'.

Edit: Google keeps me amazing: NO connectivity event when turning on flight mode. WTF. I will see if I can fix this in another way.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
There is also the case of airplane mode ON and wifi

also

ON.

Airplane mode mostly works for data and celular blocking. Wifi turns off but you can switch it on.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That is correct, with the remark that you need to switch Wi-Fi on after turning on airplane mode. This will likely result in a connectivity event. The problem is that turning on airplane mode does not result in a connectivity, which is stupid.

Edit: turning airplane mode off does result in connectivity events.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I think it is less confusing / more transparent / more flexible if the default '+' for the sender address 'extra' is being removed. Are there any objections to this?
[Android Apps and Games] CircleCode:
No objection, but i am just wondering why not putting the prefix (including the `+` or whatever symbol it is) right into the identity?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Of course you can just do this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.194

Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases

This version is not available in the Play store.

Not stopping when there is no connectivity (for example in airplane mode) was caused by a bug in FairEmail after all, which was fixed in this version.
[Android Apps and Games] CircleCode:
But sometimes, the prefix is not the same as the full mail. For example, my full mail is john.doe@examlle.net while my prefix is jd-*as example.net.

I'd like to configure identity with john.doe as full mail, and jd- as prefix...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't see the problem, you can just configure two identities or do I miss something?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.195

Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases

This version is not available in the Play store.

This version will update new messages notifications with a preview of the message text after the message text has been downloaded. Extended notifications is a pro feature.
[Android Apps and Games] CircleCode:
You're right, I can use 2 identities...

I don't know why I missed this solution...

[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION], I tried to send you a pm in response to the message I received about the post you have hided but it seems u can't receive pms.

Sorry I don't remember what's the message at issue. Problem was i quoted myself? I don't remember. My bad in this case sorry, i really try always to be helpful. Of course it's not an excuse but in that case you can be assured that my intentions were positive :D

Tried Google + but really i'm not really a social network type [emoji14]

Really i'm a sort of a fan of your work. I'm a long term user of Netguard and now FairEmail is my email standard app.

In fact i'm entusiast in trying every new release you roll out.

You mentioned a couple of times about the chance to donate for your work. I know, it's absolutely my intention to do it. And i will.

To now it's a tough time for me, but as soon as i can i will donate :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
There is a separate inbox for each account. In fact, it's only three taps away from the Unified inbox. Just tap (1) the hamburger menu on the top left, (2) the account you want to see, (3) the folder you want - Inbox is always on top.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] I know this has been discussed earlier. When new messages arrive, the inbox does not automatically scroll up to show them. I can't remember why exactly, but there were good reasons for this behavior.

Occasionally, I find myself inside the Unified inbox and I now there must be a new unread message, but I don't see it listed. I have to remind myself that I need to scroll up first.

Can you add some visual indication when the top of the inbox is above the current view? The scrollbar at the right is tiny and only shown while scrolling. I'm thinking of a small grey arc displayed just below the action bar - don't know how to explain, a bit like the arc some apps show when you refresh by swiping down while your at the top of the page, but then smaller and just steady. Or anything else.

---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 AM ----------

I'm sorry, I don't understand, what would you want to be displayed if you deactivate the Unified inbox?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will see if I can make this possible.

The folders selected for the unified inbox will be shown instead.

My XDA PM is disabled because it was too often misused.

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Automatically scrolling up on arrival of new messages would be rather inconvenient when browsing messages.

What would complicate matters is that you'll want a visual indicator that you are not at the top and that there are new messages at the top.

Isn't the title that is showing the number is new messages not enough? Also, there are new messages notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] Awesome app. Intuitive and functional. To make my praise 100% rather than 99.99% how do l remove (or make dark) the blue header bar in Dark Mode?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In black (not dark) mode the primary color, used for action bars, etc, is dark blue instead of blue. You cannot change the primary and accent color.
[Android Apps and Games] tiktok1:
suggestion:

Reverse the long and short press on the account folders in the menu.

So short press goes to that accounts Inbox and longpress goes to that accounts folder view.

additional suggestion:

When in an individual inbox the folder icon in the top right takes you to the folder view for that account rather than the unified inbox.

This way the app works for users who want unified or individual inbox use

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will have a setting to disable the unified inbox. When disabled a list of folders selected for the unified inbox will be shown instead.

Whenever possible, all actions should do always the same, so the folder icon in the action bar should always go to the folders if the primary account.

Thanks for your suggestions anyway!
[Android Apps and Games] tiktok1:
You could always apply the account colour to the top right folder icon thus indicating what the action would be..

The additional bonus of doing this means its clear to see which account inbox is being viewed' At the moment I don'y see how to tell other than the email content
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The action bar itself has a color too, so this is going to be ugly soon.

Note that the folders of all accounts are available via the navigation menu by one slide and one tap. The folder icon in the action bar is just there to navigate to the folders of the primary account.

With the unified inbox disabled it will be just one tap to go to any of the folders of the unified inbox.
[Android Apps and Games] tiktok1:
For me I'm happy with a unified inbox, but also want to deal in the single account view too.

Hence my suggestions. I can live with how it works, still a great app thanks

I know, you can't please everyone...
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
I don't mean an indicator that you are not at the top AND there are new messages. Just 'Not at the top' would suffice. Right now there is no indication at all where you are in the list because the scroll bar is also hidden. Anyhow, it's not important.

One other thing, ProtonMail has a feature that I like: when you are at the top of a list and swipe down, you pull down a small spinning circle symbol from behind the action bar. If you release it at it's lowest point (about 2cm from the bar), the current folder is synced. If you release it earlier or swipe up again, it disappears again and there is no sync. It is a convenient way of refreshing one folder and it feels natural. In the Unified inbox, it could sync all folders it contains (or even all accounts, although that is available already by long pressing Setup).
[Android Apps and Games] Licaon_Kter:
1.191, turn off network, connect device to charger, go to sleep, open it in the morning, see error.

Connect network, use the device for a while, turn mobile off, turn Wi-Fi off, error notification, 15min pass, error notification, so on....

Long press setup? Won't make another screenshot, same behaviour, see previous pic: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78275084&postcount=3151

/PS: Yes yes, maybe latest version doesn't have it, will report back on the next update too. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] batteriesNI:
hiya new user to fair email.

can we have an option to always show original / images? or at least be able to whitelist senders so it does always show.

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
How to disable this and have minimal preview like before ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is also that things need to be consistent and logical and that all edge cases need to be covered. Giving the folder icon in the action bar a color would result in contrast problems (edge cases) and giving it different functions is not consistent.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is not really an Android thing, but I will give it some thought.

This is called pull down to refresh, see here:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#frequently-requested-features

Maybe I will change my mind later.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This commit released in version 1.194 will likely fix your problem:

tl;dr; no
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have no plans to add an option for this.

You can always collapse the notification.
[Android Apps and Games] batteriesNI:
read those before posting.

no worries :) back to my other email client.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is just one tap to show the original message, one tap that can save you trouble ...

Also, IMHO the way FairEmail renders messages is often more readable than the original message. Some senders don't take into account small screens while formatting their email.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
With v1.196.

With unified box disabled :

- no problem with primary account

- secondary account : Inbox shows the messages of the sent folder of primary account. Folder list is the list of primary account.

- third account : Inbox shows the good messages. Folder list is the list of primary account.

EDIT: mistake with the inbox, all is correct.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

ALPHA

version 1.196

Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases

This version adds a setting to disable the unified inbox, which will result in showing a list of folders selected for the unified inbox. As an extra the account color will be shown for each folder.

You can now trash and archive a selection of messages. I am aware that multiple selection crashes sometimes. This seems to be a bug in AndroidX. I have spent already quite some time in trying to workaround this, but I have not succeeded so far.

The biggest change is not visible: the way operations are processed has been rewritten for more stability, hence why this is an alpha version.

I have put again a lot of effort in this project, so thanks, donations and purchases are appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is not very likely that tapping on a folder shows the messages of another folder, so please double check.

Tapping on the folder icon in the action bar will always show the folders of the primary account. That is what it is for.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
I have edited my previous post, my bad.

And how to see the folder lists of secondary accounts now ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
See this comment on the previous page:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78316026&postcount=3272
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
OK.

(I don't find this behaviour logical with "separate" accounts)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
What would be logical then?

Edit: note that if you disable the unified inbox you don't get an account view, but a list of folders selected for the unified inbox. Long press any (not only inboxes) folder to select or deselect it to be part of the unified inbox.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Ok it's "just" folders, not accounts. Understood !
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
([MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION], with Unified inbox disabled, the Action bar still displays 'Unified inbox'. Although I would not know a better term.)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I know. I am open to suggestions for something better.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Main folders?
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Don't think this happened in older versions (maybe it did and I just never noticed) - I'm running version 1.196 (Github) and when switching between sorted by time vs. sorted by unread vs. sorted by starred, FairEmail exits out and you have to re-launch it. I have two accounts setup (One Gmail, one Yahoo!) and I have unified mailbox enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Just "inbox"
[Android Apps and Games] CircleCode:
Maybe introducing the notion of favorite folders could help?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please reproduce the problem, take note of the time and send me the debug info with the time (long press 'Support').
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It are folders, not necessary only inbox folders.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Favorite folders or maybe just selected folders is a good idea.

Edit: I am going to name it just what it is: Unified inbox folders
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=6749263]Licaon_Kter[/MENTION] I am afraid your problem will not be solved until the next release:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/commit/3dd522f6b8835f0e63a6b4ac0f5fbe5a78997d27
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Favorite (or something close) was a good idea. Because it's not limited at inbox.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
I agree, Favorite folders would be perfect.
