That would be possible, but that would create a problem for the existing pro feature purchases and would likely result in additional support questions, inquiring about differences and migrating from the one to the other.
[Android Apps and Games] jw111:
I currently have pro version from the play store. If I install the GitHub version then will it keep the pro features?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Maybe later, first the current version needs to go to the Play store.

You could apply the attached patch in the meantime.
[Android Apps and Games] jw111:
I have the pro version from the play store. If I install the GitHub version then will I keep the pro features?
[Android Apps and Games] jw111:
Sorry about off topic post. I installed GitHub version.
[Android Apps and Games] Only.Me:
All very true. Perhaps you can explain how a permanent (and thus annoying) banner will help achieve this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Currently, there is this message in the pro features screen, which you'll go to when tapping on the banner:

Suggestions for a better text are welcome.

Edit: the banner is not permanent and can be disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] Only.Me:
Only by upgrading to pro?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Ticking a checkbox in the pro features screen will disable the banner too.

In the next release for two weeks instead of one week.
[Android Apps and Games] jw111:
I tried waiting hours after deleting message 1 with Unified inbox sorted by unread but I still get the same behavior that it alternated between showing the next unread message then message 1 then next unread message then message 1 again.

I tried sorting different ways, exiting the app, rebooting my phone but it did not make a difference.

If I read a few unread messages, say messages 1 and 3 then go back and start reading with message 10 then I see them in order: 10,1,3,9,1,3,8,1,3... So it tripled the number of messages I end up viewing.

Do others see this?

The reason this is important to me is because the way I work is as follows:

I keep the Unified inbox sorted by unread messages first.

I will read a few unread messages that are important and then go back later and read the other ones.

It is not bad if I am just a few messages behind but if I get way behind then I will end up having to view hundreds of messages instead of dozens.

Is there any way to fix this so it goes through the unread messages in order? Can't it check a flag to see if the message has been read and skip it if it already was?

Otherwise what I will end up doing is click an unread message, read it, then go back to Unified inbox and click the next message then repeat.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The previous/next message is always relative to the current message. If the current message is marked read and you are sorting on unread messages, the position of the message changes and therefore the previous/next message as well. Since new messages might arrive while you are browsing through your messages, the underlying list need to be updated. This can't be done for one situation and not for another situation at the same time.

What you can do instead is filter out read messages instead of sorting on unread messages. Note that you can enable quick filter buttons in the behavior settings to make this easy.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] in the next version you can paste the signature into the message text with an icon button, which is a simple and flexible solution for your problem, which for example allows pasting a signature of another identity as well.

[Android Apps and Games] Only.Me:
Since I use pro, I don't really remember ever seeing the banner, but if I was using the free version, such a recurring banner would have been very annoying...

And unfortunately I suspect it will inevitably lead to many more bad ratings / reviews...

It really seems like a very counter productive way to achieve your stated goals.

Anyway, enough on this topic from me.

And, again, there are many of us that really appreciate your efforts.
[Android Apps and Games] jw111:
Hi,

Yes. Filtering out Read messages works for me.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
How would they know? A person in France would see just the existing FairEmail listing in the Play Store, and a person in, say, Brazil, would see just the FairEmail Pro listing. Mutually exclusive.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In theory, but give the number of downloads in countries where the app should not available, Google does a bad job restricting downloads by country.

Also, it would complicate maintenance and support, which is already enough work.

The idea is good though.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Yeah, I've seen guides online on how to download geo restricted apps. Until Google plugs the gaps it'll keep happening.

I wonder if they might be false positives, though. It depends on how the Play Store registers downloads. If you install an apk from APK Mirror which is updatable from the Play Store, does that count, for example?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Since those people are able to write reviews, it must have been Play store downloads.

I have seen Google locating me at the wrong place (which I don't mind ;) ) on multiple occasions based on my IP address (not VPN).
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
I understand the compliance, regulations and tax aspects. Beside that I think anyone should have access to anything. *things to harm are out of this, most of them shouldn't even be produced.

At the end, we are one mankind, sharing one ****ing planet. I wonder if I will still alive when.. If.. mankind realizes this.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Thanks, it's just what I needed! Good job as always.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Aha! I was unsure about this part, but luckily, I was able to test this. I have another app installed from F-Droid. Play Store doesn't list this app in the library, but searching for it manually shows it as installed. The interesting thing is, I can rate it and write a review. Play Store doesn't stop me.

Since this apk is from F-Droid, which signs its own apks, this means even apk signatures aren't important to Play Store. It probably goes by just the package name. Possibly counting it as a download.

Now, I can't see FairEmail in the Play Store because I'm in a banned region, but if it appears for whatever reason, I could theoretically write a review without it being a Play Store download.

This is all so confusing.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Can you really write a review?

That would surprise me, especially because it is a differently signed app.

Rhetorical side question: did you give Google permission to scan your device for apps not installed via the Play store?

[Android Apps and Games] WolfM:
I always send e-mails in plain text format as this is the policy in our company. Using the Pro version of course.

I have enabled the option to use the Usenet signature style, but it seems that the trailing blank is not inserted, just the two minus characters. Not sure if this only happens in combination with another option or if this is a general behavior. The description of this option shows at least --BLANK.

Also, when my signature contains a blank line, it is merged with the previous line.

For example:

line1

line2

line3

is converted to:

line1 line2

line3
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
It's true, at the moment I can't see the closing blank of the signature separator either, but there was a time when this blank was present as expected.
[Android Apps and Games] pst2103:
Thank you for the great app which I dicovered just recently (Google/Pro version).

When opening contacts usually my handful of favorites are displayed before the alphabetical list. This is not so when composing a mail in FairEmail.

Can I change this behaviour somewhere in settings? - If not, could you please add such an option? Having the favorites on top would be very convenient..

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This was caused by a recent change and will be fixed in the next release:

[MENTION=10827529]WolfM[/MENTION] I am looking into the newline problem right now.
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
While I was reading copy signature, I had to think for another topic. Could be more kind of a premium premium feature.. Or is it already there? A sieve filter editor. Simplest way may be a text editor, improved with syntax check before saving.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will consider starred (favorite) contacts as frequently contacted, so if you enable sorting on usage frequency in the send settings they will appear at the top.

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/commit/9aa3aaa2c2c369df5442e041ae81e50eb4c58470
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Especially since this will be used rarely and will be quite some work to add, this will be a sponsored only features.
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
I'll be with you in this. It is hard to improve Fairmail, as it supports most things you can think of. So I came up with this.

Also my impression is, most email users even don't know the existence of sieve. Even if sieve is really really useful. At leaet if you use more than one client, as I think most people do (mobile and desktop/web)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released version 1.1168 1.1169

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

The newline problem should be solved [MENTION=10827529]WolfM[/MENTION], can you please double check?

Please report any issue you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
Regarding sponsored feature, I wonder how this will work.

Roughly estimated everything below 60/h is an insult, such feature would burn up around 15 to 40h I would imagine. Adds up to quite an amount.
[Android Apps and Games] WolfM:
The usenet signature style and blank lines in signatures work fine now. Thank you for the quick fixes.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Indeed, it will be an expensive feature only for people really wanting this.

ManageSieve is not a trivial protocol and since there needs to be a user interface too, 15 hours is a very conservative estimate.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Yeah. Play Protect has permission to scan apps, but not send apks to Google for analysis. Are you thinking this might be the reason?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't think so, but I am not sure.

I always disable Play Protect because if I download anything (which rarely happens) I am always using reliable sources.
[Android Apps and Games] WolfM:
I have turned on the option to always send e-mails in plain text format.

When I'm out of office I often answer question with pre-defined replies from a big database, inserted via copy/paste to FairEmail.

But: If a line starts with a ">" character, then it is converted into a HTML stylish quote. Sending the mail in text format converts it back wrongly.

For example, I copy/paste the following text to FairEmail:

line1

> line2

line3

FairEMail converts it into:

line1

| line2

line3

Sending the mail in plain text format converts it back to:

line1

> line2

>

> line3

Is it somehow possible to turn off this automatic conversion when pasting a text? So that a ">" character stays a ">" character at the beginning of a line?

I know it is a special situation as this could be considered as quote, but the content is often very technical and has to start with that character. But even it would be a quote, the back-conversion is wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please make sure you are using the latest (GitHub) version and try to paste as plain text.
[Android Apps and Games] WolfM:
How can I paste as plain text?

I usually long press the message area and then select "Paste". There is no option to paste as plain text.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I guess you are already pasting plain text.

If you send the message as plain text, the quote line will be converted to a plain text quote again, so maybe just ignore the line and you are good to go ;) It looks much nicer as well too this way.

Background: pasting will by default convert to HTML because you are in fact using a HTML editor. When sending a plain text only message the HTML will be converted to plain text.
[Android Apps and Games] WolfM:
As the starting > character is part of the real content (very specific scripting language), it doesn't look nicer but wrong.

But the bigger problem is that the back conversion is wrong as I have shown in my example. The 3rd line and the line between also begin with > characters.

At the moment FairEmail does not send the text content that I want to paste. I would really prefer to see the content that will be sent instead of relying on a conversion that might break and I cannot see the results while working with FairEmail.

Everything else works great, just this simple task drives me crazy :p
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I would like to fix this, but there is no quick fix for this.

The Android editor is rather limited and the conversion from the spanned editor contents is full of quirks. Note that the Android editor does not work with plain text (and not with HTML either). I guess Google cannot fix these quirks without breaking apps relying on them (many!).

I have on my to do list to write a custom conversion from spanned to HTML to solve these quirks and to allow more formatting options (the main goal). However, this will be quite some work, which I will not undertake soon. As a comparison, it took me weeks to get the custom formatting right (which is the reverse of this).

Edit: suggestion: send your scripts as attachments. This seems more appropriate to me anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] WolfM:
Sending attachments is no solution for me, I want to keep things as simple as possible. Just a quick copy/paste and send.

I'll use my previous e-mail app until the text conversion gets fixed and FairEmail is able to send these text messages correctly. Thanks for your support anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:

VPN / Gmail/ Hotmail/ Wifi/ Network Data

I have;

2 Gmail accounts

5 Hotmail accounts

I've recently changed VPN and all hell has broken loose with the Gmail accounts. The message "Log in via your we browser...." keeps poping up on every sync.

I removed FairEmail form the VPN application list and on Wifi so far everything is working.

However when connected to Network data the Gmail error message is back and only one of the Hotmail accounts is working.

I've rebooted a couple of times and I'm on v1.1170.

To rule out XprivacyLua I've allowed everything. Also I'm using Afwall+.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Gmail and a VPN don't go very well together.

Your best bet is to use the Gmail quick setup wizard (Oauth) to authorize the accounts. For the rest there is little else that can be done.
[Android Apps and Games] bluegrass55:
I found out about the Gmail/ VPN battle today from the forum and that's why I disabled the app from the VPN.

Before I did that I removed the 2 Gmail accounts, rebooted and tried to add the accounts with method you suggest. It doesn't work, maybe because I'm on stock microG ROM. It takes me to setup a Google play store account for the device. By selecting other it installs the account without issue.

Strangely enough with the previous VPN ExpressVPN and set location to Paris Gmail was fine. Got a good deal for current VPN but Gmail didn't like it.

I get some emails with in line photos that have very fine writing so I need to zoom in on them.

If I just show photos in email then the only way to zoom in is to click on the photos but then when I zoom I find the photos are being shown in low resolution so I cannot read them.

If I show the email in original format then when I zoom the resolution is good. The problem is that I only see the center of the photos. If I try to pan sideways then Fairemail immediately skips to the next or pervious message.

Also if the image is at the top of the email then after I zoom then I cannot scroll up enough to see the top of the image.

Any suggestions for a work around or how to fix?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I like to receive a raw message file of an example message if possible.

You can save a raw message file via the three-dots menu just above the message text and you can get my email address by long pressing 'Support' in the navigation menu.
[Android Apps and Games] jw111:
I emailed you a raw message file example.

I see that when I show photos then in addition to showing them in line, the photos are shown as attachments at bottom. Clicking on the bottom photos shows them in the original resolution but this is not convenient for a long email with many photos. I would much prefer to see them in line with the text describing them.
[Android Apps and Games] Surfinette:
Hello Marcel,

It seems that after most* app updates (GitHub), the "filter out" setting is set to Read, which is something I find annoying.

Is this set to Read by default?

* I said "most" because sometimes the Read box is not ticked after updating the app. I believe the Read option becomes ticked as a result of updating the app, because I never do it intentionally. But it often get ticked (against my will :) ) usually after update.

Is there any other reason why this setting would turn to Read without me doing it manually?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Here the Read-Out Filter box has never been selected by itself.

I have just released version 1.1173

Changelog/download:

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

This version will open all images in an external viewer, so they can be viewed in full resolution. Data URI images will automatically be exported, which means they can be saved now (which was a feature asked for once or twice). Note that data URI images are not supported by all email clients and are therefore better not used.

The last used encryption method (PGP or S/MIME) will be stored into the selected identity now, which is another feature that was asked for occasionally.

The main reason this version was released is to fix/improve a workaround for server bugs.

Please report issue issue you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] tnkclark:
Swiping to hide a message also adds a star

I have set a left to right swipe to hide a message. I don't want to delete it because other devices need to see it in their inbox. I also have set in Behavior to Automatically add a star when snoozing messages. When I swipe to hide a message, it also gets a star added. If I uncheck Automatically add a star when snoozing messages, swiping to hide no longer adds a star. If I hide the message using any of the three dots menus, it does not get a star - only when I hide it by swiping.

Is this working as designed or a bug? It seems like Automatically add a star when snoozing should not cause a star when hiding.

Is there a better way to find snoozed messages than using a star on them?

Thanks,

Terry

Version 1.1154 from Google Play Store
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is a bug, which will be fixed in the next release.

You can search for hidden messages (more options in the search dialog, you might need to scroll to the bottom).
[Android Apps and Games] tnkclark:

I have just released version 1.1174

Changelog/download:

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

This unplanned release is to fix showing the tracking image marker, caused by changes in the previous release.

Another notable change is that you can now pan a zoomed in original message in all directions with one finger. The disadvantage of this is that you can't scroll up/down and swipe left/right to go to the previous message from within the original message view anymore. You can restore scrolling and swiping by zooming out again though and you can still scroll/swipe outside of the original message.

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

Snooze in the notification?

Snooze, is it possible to get that function on the notifications?

Would be great if I for example see a message I need to reply to, but can't do it right now..

So instead of opening the email, and clicking snooze,I could just click snooze on the notification, and it would snooze the "default" time..
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, you can, check the notification settings of FairEmail.

You can set the default snooze time in the behavior settings (it applies to swipe to snooze too).
[Android Apps and Games] JoBe77x:
Ah, how could I've missed that!

However, when snoozing from the notification, the mail wasn't set to have been read, so I still have to open and mark it read, that must be wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The message was not read, so IMHO it shouldn't be marked read.
[Android Apps and Games] JoBe77x:
There you got me, but maybe as an alternative option?, Because when I'm snoozing something, I don't want to be reminded of it all the time until the snooze runs out.

as it is now, I'm getting a "new mail" icon on the app, and will always react to it as I got a new unread mail.

Therefore I think a snoozed letter should be marked read until the snooze is triggered..?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Perhaps Marcel could add an item "execute rule" to the notifications, where you could then select a rule that would put the message to snooze and set it as read.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Snoozed messages are hidden, so they won't be in the way.
[Android Apps and Games] JoBe77x:
Well, I don't have then hidden, because sometimes I do have time earlier to take care of the mail, if I see it, if it's hidden I can forget about it.

However, the widget do still report an unread mail when it's hidden..
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
To be sure I tested this and none of the widgets will show snoozed messages.
[Android Apps and Games] JoBe77x:
Well, mine does

The main icon reports 2 since the permanent notification trigger one..
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The widget shows 1 unread message as expected.

Same problem.

I´m trying to use encryption but every time I press the encryption button in Fairemail the message was shown "Message was sent to Openkeychain" and "Draft was saved". I uninstalled Openkeychain and imported my pgp keys again. Same problem.

Wiht K-9 Mail encryption work with Openkeychain.

Openkeychain and FairEmail are running without battery optimization.

I read the FAQ but the information didn´t help.

Any idea what is the problem?

I´m using Android 10, Openkeychain 5.5, FairEmail 1.1154.
