Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases
[Android Apps and Games] taipan01:
I would like to store send mails in the send folder of another account automatically. Is this already supported?

In my usecase, one account is used for outgoing mails only and all incoming mails are forwarded to a second account. There I want to store my send mails.

I have already configured two accounts and two identities in FairEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Sent emails are stored in the sent folder of the account the identity is associated with, so just associate (create) the identity for your "second" account.
[Android Apps and Games] taipan01:
Perfect. I need just one account and two identities to fullfill my requirements. Thanks a lot and respect for this excellent app (Pro Version bought today :) )
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You might want to enable 'store sent' in the identity settings, see also this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq7
[Android Apps and Games] taipan01:
Thx, I already found this setting due to your very good FAQ.
[Android Apps and Games] Licaon_Kter:
Replace Twitter with Mastodon, Facebook with Diaspora/Movim...not sure for Instagram :) :)
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
You are right but I didn't have time to change all icons. I just put Gmail :)
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]

Thanks to your perseverance , all bugs resolved as of now ! Thumbs up :)

Couple of small points

1. Gmail seems to be a bit sluggish in opening messages at times, especially after reconnecting ( reconnecting shouldn't be a reason as this meant to work off line)

2. Mails when deleted at times leave a white space in deleted space and takes time for next mail to roll up- it isn't smooth UX issue

3. As you may recollect we had discussed Yahoo mail issues on mail (bug reports). You had suggested decreasing time from 9 minutes. It is now on 5 minutes but I often see Yahoo mail disconnected notification. Elsewhere you had mentioned that this 9 minute timing is well considered and maybe reducing to 5 is too drastic. Can you suggest a safe timing?

All above are good network (WiFi) so that can be ruled out plus I flashed latest stock image again to rule out system issues
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I really like this banner!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
First of all, it is still a beta version, which means that bugs are to be expected. There all still lots of things to finish and improve.

Sluggish opening: what exactly is slow?

The empty space going away is an indication that the message was moved. I will see if I can improve this.

Yahoo! : this is an disadvantage of not having IDLE support, see also the FAQ. What you set the poll interval to is up to you. Faster poll means faster email notifications, but also more battery usage. My advice is to move away from Yahoo! Maybe I will even drop poll support because I don't want to answer questions like this and complaints about battery usage. Every decent email provider has IDLE support these days. It is 2018!
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Thanks -I am not complaining, I know it's in beta

Sluggish as in displaying the contents of the message with or without HTML

I know Yahoo is bad in more ways than one but this mail for me has been in use for three decades and is used for some services. It is not trivial for me to change the registered email (bureaucracy) . Please don't drop Yahoo support, if you can. If you do I will need to maintain two apps beating the purpose of unified mailbox. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Can you make a video of the sluggishness?

I will think about adding a more prominent warning about no IDLE support.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Would long pressing on a message in the message list to mark a message read/unread be a good idea?
[Android Apps and Games] geronimoge:
I'd personally prefer to have a menu with different options after long pressing

Or just marking with the possibility to mark more mails (multi select) and choose an action in a hamburger menu
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I prefer to have a swipe menu over having multiple select. So, swipe and select what to do (which become the default for the next swipe) and swipe through to execute the (default) action. Reason: multiple selecting often goes wrong with fat fingers and accidental touches.
[Android Apps and Games] OSheden:
Then I agree. Do you have other features that you would like to implement in the unified box? To be sure to not keep long press action for something more important.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Thanks for the consideration of retaining Yahoo and of course highlighting the costs would (hopefully) prevent complaints

Sorry, can't make a video now at least for a week and hopefully your optimizations will get rid of this
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not sure where to look. I don't have delays myself, even though I am temporarily using a not so powerful device (a Moto G5).
[Android Apps and Games] geronimoge:
Sounds good. So we'll get some kind of a swipe menu or do i get you wrong? Like swipe to archive, delete, move, mark as (un)read, ...?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, in time.
[Android Apps and Games] BunnyWarrior:
From the privacy perspective of view (that´s what FairEMail stands for) I would drop Yahoo, too. The reason is the following:

Source: https://www.wsj.com/articles/yahoo-...mails-for-data-to-sell-advertisers-1535466959

Furthermore everyone will remember the hack of 3 billion user accounts a few years ago. No IDLE support, no privacy for the users and as it seems no security at all. Sry for all the Yahoo users but it is time to move on.
[Android Apps and Games] akhil17kr:
I think Google does the same for Gmail too ?
[Android Apps and Games] Licaon_Kter:
They stopped an year ago, and they never did that to paying customers.
[Android Apps and Games] akhil17kr:
It's Google. You can't trust their words.
[Android Apps and Games] taipan01:
One additional question: I disable synchronisation on one account, because I want to do it manually only (like described in FAQ79). But this account is removed then from the list of selectable accounts, so there is not access to this account/folders anymore. What do I wrong here?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You cannot manually sync one account only, so you'll have to choose between sync all automatic or sync all manual. Technically it is very complicated (=bugs) to mix manual and automatic sync and since this won't be used often, this will not be added.
[Android Apps and Games] taipan01:
Ok. Is there a way to minimize the cpu and battery usage for this "unneeded" syncronisation? I already removed all folder from sychronisation. What about the IMAP idle interval? Or is it more efficient to just enable synchronisation for this account too?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Disabling synchronization for the folders you don't want to synchronize is always a good idea.

Always synchronizing is in most cases cheaper than periodic synchronizing. There will be a remark about this in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:

[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Yep :good:
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
I just happened upon a useful feature—device specific, but utilized by FairMail—called 'Smart pop-up view' it allows apps to 'Receive notifications as icons that can be tapped and expanded in pop-up view.'

In the case of FairMail, new emails 'spawn' a small circular icon with the first letter of whom the email is from on top of the statusbar, or, in my case, sometimes just above the navbar. I'm so new to this that I have no idea why there's a difference in behavior.

Anyways, if you click the icon it opens a closable/resizable mini-window that is a fully functional version of Fairmail—delete/reply, et. al., are all there.

Pretty cool little thing I thought I'd share for those who haven't discovered this yet.

version 1.528

Changelog/download:

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

This version adds a new advanced option to check if old (kept) messages were deleted from the server (default disabled). In previous versions this was always checked, but especially when there are a lot of messages stored on the device this will use extra data, extra memory and extra battery power while there is often no need to check this.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Hi Marcel,

I want to change the location (the name) of the Drafts folder in the account setup. Sorry to say, but in the dialog there are no collapsible folder. And very irritating: there is no sorting. Folder and subfolders are randomly mixed.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Long press a folder in the folder list to change its name.

The folders are sorted in a specific order, see the FAQ for details. You can order folders in your own way using the advanced options (navigation menu).
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
I'm on the page "Edit account" and I want to set the e.g. the folder for archiving. If I tap on it I see all my folders.

I must correct me. The folder are sorted but not in this way: sorted subfolder - sorted subfolder -.. - folder.

They are sorted by the name of the folder, regardless the name of the subfolder above.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That is correct because the folder structure will be analyzed after setting up the account only.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
OK, I deleted my account and added again. Now the folder are sorted in the right way.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

I have another problem with the current version.

Scrolling the folder list is extremely laggy. Somtimes there is no response from fairemail and Android pops up with the question killing or wait.

It seems to me that without subfolders (or all expanded) there is no such a problem. So, problem didn't depend on the amount of the number of folders. Only my guess.

I sent you a debug output.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
How many folders do you have and how deep are they nested? Did you have this problem in previous versions too?
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
~1300 folders. If you define a folder in the root as level 0, my max depth is 3.

I do some experiments, deinstalling the app and install it again. After importing my backup, all my folder are in the root. Scrolling is fast no lags. But while syncing with the imap server the directory structure was created in a very slow way. Lag was enormous. Android asks for waiting or killing.

After all, scrolling in the folder list is a pain. Sometimes I got no response.

Seems to me that there is some thing cpu intensive work todo. But why? In the root are only ~20 folders and only the standard folders (sent, drafts and trash) are synced.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have an idea why and I will look into next week.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
I checked 1.515. Same effect
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Is there still a lag after the synchronization has completed?
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Yes
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks, this confirms what I was thinking. I will likely look into this Wednesday.

[MENTION=7193240]jaholm[/MENTION] please contact me for a test version
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
How?

private messages are blocked by you.

Please send me a mess with URL to the testversion
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Just use 'Report issue' in the main menu.
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
I think this is nicely implemented now — it's comfortable.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
One of my accounts has a red exclamation mark and the statement 'A drafts folder is required to send mail'. When I click on it I only have a choice of the trash folder or the junk folder. Where and how do I create this trash folder?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Your email provider should provide a drafts folder, but you can just create a folder in the folder list and assign this folder as drafts folder in the account settings.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Sorry, my be I'm blind but there is no 'Report issue' entry on your xda-developers thread shown with firefox. What 'main menu' did you mean and where is it located?
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Fair Email app. Tap the menu icon on top left for a sliding menu which shows "Report Issue". On clicking it, email with Marcel's ID populated appears and you can describe your problem

Nothing to do with XDA
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Syncing: when and what

Hi,

I used the "Report Issue" in fairemail an discovered the following:

After tapping on "Report Issue" (or start writing an email) fairemail starts synching. What?

I stopped the time: Synching takes 140 second! I'm astonished, what the hell takes 140 seconds (only Trash, Drafts and INBOX) should be synch.

Is it probably possible that a list of all folders will be processed?

ps: while syncing I saw ~400 packets from fairemail to my mail server!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This likely due to synchronizing the folder list.

Edit: I will add a setting to disable synchronization of the folder list.
[Android Apps and Games] vladsol:
The case is back again
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Can you be more specific and maybe send a raw message to investigate?
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Reporting a recent cosmetic problem.

Despite finishing downloading emails into the unified box and with no pending operations, there persists a double arrow icon in the notification bar. See attached screenshot. When opened the notification says syncing 5 accounts.

I am guessing it is syncing some of the sub folders, but I think it is misleading.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I don't recall seeing it there before. There is limited space on my notification bar. ; )
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] Could you add a toast or some other form of alert when the user enters a Yahoo email address? Specifying that they need to enable the 'less secure app access' from within Yahoo settings first?

Granted, it's one of the three links shown upon authentication failure due to the setting being off by default, but it doesn't tell you that it is the actual cause of the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
It has always been there. Later it was removed for unsynced state.

But, google has forced the issue.

If your app is running in the background or something you have to have a notification.

So, blame google.

Same case with afwall where nptificarion is always there:
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
When attaching multiple files, you are unable to scroll to top:

Unable to scroll to top of message, until the conversion is complete, that is.

So, you have to wait until all images are converted then it appears as normal

Also, is it possible to have total message size displayed?

Neither in drafts nor in sent does total message size appear, only size of image/attachments separately.

Is there another way to attach images without resizing.

For example most images I want resized, but I want 1 normal size?

Currently, I believe there is only the setting in advanced settings, which is either/or. And applies to both attach and image buttons.

Could attach be treated differently as image button. So maybe one setting for inline images and 1 for attachments

It would be great to have the ability to choose when the case arises.

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 AM ----------

Or, an option in menu for attaching original size:

(As probably users would want it resized due to mail restrictions, but might occasionly might need to attach 1 or 2 original size)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I can't prevent the scrolling because Android is doing this. StackOverflow is full of questions about this, but I guess it will take Google just as long as adding support for dark themes to fix this.

The total message size is reported in the addresses section.

You'll have to choose to either resize of not resize messages. Since I have had a lot of questions about attached images (not) being resized I have removed the exception for not resizing attachments sometime ago. I won't add an extra option for this either, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Aha! That explains its recent appearance on my phone. I only sync manually, not continuously.

Thank for taking the time to explain.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
If synchronizing is disabled in Advanced settings, the notification should not be visible.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
This a new installation because my phone crashed when I tried rooting it. So I just checked. Sync is disabled (see screenshot).

The notification does disappear after a while, but it persists for quite a while after a manual sync which it didn't use to before reinstallation or update. That's why I asked.

I also noticed another 'new' thing that might possibly be connected:

When I now manually sync, as FE syncs, a red triangle with an exclamation mark appears very briefly (half a second) in the unified inbox and then disappears. None of the mail accounts show any errors and I'm not sure what to search for in the FairEmail log.

Edit:

By testing I was able to recreate the red triangle error when sync one of my accounts. So I at least know which account is involved.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Manually sync / poll sync will run the background service for sometime. This was always the case.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.529

Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
The icon now remains for several minutes (3?). That's why it called my attention to it.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It remains for about 90 seconds after the last started operation.

Recent changes related to this:

60 seconds was increased to 90 seconds

The time is being reset on executing a new operation

Operations are being serialized per account

This is to make sure all operations are executed when syncing manually or polling, even with a large number of folders.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I can live with that. :) Now that I know it's normal.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The latest release removed hiding of folders to solve the performance issues with the folder list.

Background: it is too expensive to scan a large number of (child) folders to determine if a folder is visible and can be collapsed.

So, choices have to be made. I can't make everybody happy and IMO properly functioning is more important than a feature (which I don't expect to be used much anyway).
[Android Apps and Games] vladsol:
Something is wrong with "Move to" dialog:

folders can not get expanded while trying to move message
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will look into this tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] arsola:
With the most recent update I am having issues with FairEmail completely grinding to a halt and crashing when syncing.

I do have lots of subfolders (60+). No idea if that is the reason. It did work before.

Is there any information that can help you in diagnosing&solving this? Id be happy to provide it.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The latest version mostly fixes some bugs, so I don't think the update is causing this.

If FairEmail crashes, you'll be offered to send a crash report the next time it is being started in most cases. Send it to me referencing this issue and I will look into it. If this doesn't happen, long press 'Support' to send me the debug info. Again: reference this issue, so I know what it is about.

[bug] Problem(s) with Empty Trash

Hi, guys!..:) Search won't work for me on XDA forums (screenshot attached), so I can't tell if this has been mentioned:

Besides crazy (and irregular) sync errors (and silent) and behavior, when it comes to emptying the Trash (on gMail): the number of emails in the folder does not match what's being emptied... Furthermore, once I've gotten a confirmation message to delete a LOT more than what's there.

Attaching those screens, as well. Seems like the app is WELL buggy, right!? What's up with that? o.0

EDIT: Oh, whoa, gMail says I've got 126 in Trash (last attachment, added), while FairEmail is showing me 32 - while asking me to empty /delete 50. With such discrepancies, how are we even to use it (without tripping about WTH it may -actually- be doing), omg. xF
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
First of all, READ the Faq and LEGEND, and learn about:

Next, your screenshot clearly shows delete permanently 609 messages:

So what are you on?

Read Faq,

There are no issues with app.

Quite stable actually.
[Android Apps and Games] kgbme:
So, I take it that's your final answer?..;) No need to be a **** about it, man.

It's obviously not working (yes, from the screenshots - I didn't have 600+ in Trash and it's happening irregularly; next app launch it offered to delete 50, while folder was showing 32 and gMail actually had 126 - like I had posted, in my edit), as intended, for me at least.

I'm not asking for kicks, but because I seem to have an issue...

P.S. Also, just for the record, I'm not asking about trivial stuff - like that there's apparently no way to change the default option, which is basically reversed - the wrong way around: "Swipe left to trash; swipe right to archive (if available)".
[Android Apps and Games] kgbme:
Please excuse the double post, but here it is again. I've deleted all app info to start over and make sure... gMail won't sync and it's reporting everything wrong.

The first screenshot is from the app, second from Fennec Firefox. Non-rooted Xiaomi Mi A2 "jasmine" Global ROM, FairEmail F-Droid version 1.528 (installed 2day).

P.S. Whatever it's trying to use has been disabled on my device, apparently. :( Though, why is it working at all, then. :f No clue - and I am NOT trying to spam here; the apps provided by the author, including NetGuard, are -basically- vital for the Android ecosystem.

(I've included the screen of System WebView to show it active, if that's part of the transport system - and, unfortunately, also, it cannot be replaced on this device; not w/o rooting, anyhow. :))

EDIT: *Second to last screenshot, what I got firewalled - basically nothing, except for "Spock".

^^ Yes, I get that this may be a highly-personal issue - which isn't (?!??) affecting anybody else - but, please don't let that be the reason for your frustration; and, you know, lend a hand if anyone's got an idea? Tnx! :D

EDIT: As per the second (Firefox) screenshot, I've got the three emails in my Inbox, nothing in Archive and the app is showing me something crazy - last screen upped.
