Sorry, I can't add an option for every little thing. Besides that, nobody else ever asked for this and long press for multiple selection is the standard. In other words, I don't think other people are going to understand this.

Also, you only have to long press the first message only and I don't see how this can be a problem.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This preview version fixes and improves some things in the new insert link logic:

https://bitbucket.org/M66B/fairemai...ail-v1.1904a-github-xda-preview-3-release.apk

What's new is that the word the cursor is positioned at will be auto selected and if the word is a link it will be used as such.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yeah I'm fine with that and understand it's not something urgent. Just trying my luck ;) All good.
[Android Apps and Games] sssubito:
I find this quite intuitive and fast enough (initiate a multi-select of mails with long press and extend the selection with a single tap on every mail which needs to be added). In my opinion, no need to change the current behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is pretty frustrating and not the first 1 star review for Google having disabled account passwords:

Link (English)

The app warned for this beforehand, linking here, and still people blame the app instead of Google. People hate it that they need to provide a phone number now, but this isn't something I can change :-(
[Android Apps and Games] ExperienceFast:
Is there an option to sort mails

* marked mails from newest to oldest

* not marked mails from newest to oldest ?

Was only able to order by date (independent of marking)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Sorting on multiple fields isn't supported because too many people do not understand this. As it is, there are already daily questions about filtering and sorting.

Suggestion: enable the quick filter buttons in the settings and filter on starred messages instead.

Another possibility is to enable the option to set starred messages automatically as important, which means that they will always be sorted at the top.

I didn't expect this to happen after over three weeks of sickness of my girlfriend. I am not feeling great, but for now it seems to have hit my girlfriend much harder. She has been coughing for two weeks about 24 hours/day, and was exhausted and feeling rather bad. She is feeling better now, but she is still coughing occasionally. She did some shopping today for the first time in weeks. Fortunately, my sister can go to the hospital with my mother tomorrow.

Despite everything, I have added a number of smaller new things today, among them permanent deletion via the quick actions, which was asked for more than a few times. I slept a few hours during daytime, but I can't do this all day, so a little distraction is welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] CatalystWon:
I'm a new FE user and retired IBM Enterprise software engineer, and as such like to explore features. I was happy to discover "permanent deletion" and use it all of the time - Thank you! The only thing I am trying to figure out is how to make selected messages more brightly highlighted as they seem very dim and difficult to distinguish from un-selected messages. I am using the Yellow/purple theme, swap colors ENABLED and Dark background.

Best wishes for Good health for your loved ones and you!
[Android Apps and Games] xdaTanjiro:
First of all, wish you and your gf speedy recovery.

I'm a new user and I'm using mailbox.org with Inbox encryption (i.e. incoming emails are encrypted by my PGP public key).

Now all my emails received in FE can be decrypted without issue but there is always a warning message appear briefly at the bottom saying "Message not signed". Is this something normal and can be suppressed?

Sorry but I'm a noob in PGP. Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That's the disadvantage of dark themes, everything will darker, also the selection color. I am pretty sure if I make it lighter, other people are going to complain it is so light.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
PGP messages should be signed. Please see the OpenPGP considerations in this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq12
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
About the newly released GitHub version 1.1905: the insert link dialog will recognize email addresses too now, both on the clipboard and in the text where the cursor is.

So, you can either copy a link or email address, point the cursor at where you want the link and use the insert link icon button, or paste the link or email address into the text, point the cursor at the link (within, start or end) and use the insert link icon button.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Get well soon Marcel, and take a break from this.. You need it

Prayers and best wishes
[Android Apps and Games] x2k13:
The built in themes are okay for me, just a matter of adapting to it. But I understand @CatalystWon. How about some kind of slider/hex color input field or tappable pallette to customize the colors to a certain extent? That doesn't mean necessarily that people should be able to fiddle around with core functions and layouts, but maybe a wider pallet inside a single theme to choose from. I like the idea, because that would make the app even better and fun. Might be worth a consideration. 🙂
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If this was possible, I would have added this long ago already, but the fact is that Android has static themes only (they got a little bit dynamic on Android 12 with "Monet"). Please see this FAQ for more information:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq164
[Android Apps and Games] x2k13:
I see. Thanks for clarification.
[Android Apps and Games] Rtxda:
I updated the app today via the Play Store, and unfortunately I can't access it anymore. Restarting the device didn't help. The application is running. For example, I get notifications when new mails arrive. But when I press on the icon on the homescreen (but also from the application list), the application is not shown to me.

For testing I set up a widget (the one with the message overview) for the first time after that. This also works. When I tap on a message, the mail opens. And if I tap there on the back button, I am also in the message overview within the application!

The message overview is exactly where I would like to end up again when I tap on the homescrren icon.

Does anyone have a tip on how I can get normal access to the app?

My phone is a bit older: Galaxy S7 Edge (Custom rom - Android 6.0.1)

FairEmail version 1.1904

Edit:

I guess I have to correct myself a little:

I just tapped on the icon countless times, annoyed, and suddenly the app opened.

Then I closed the app again and tapped on the icon once, but it didn't open.

I don't quite get it: if you just keep tapping on the icon (20+), the app suddenly opens.

The display is fine. If I just keep my finger on the icon for a bit longer, the menu appears as usual, where you can remove the icon from the home screen, for example.

I have not experienced anything like this before.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is pretty odd behavior. Did you try to restart your device?

Edit: did you maybe download a lot of messages?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This review, just "Datenschutz?", is pretty annoying:

The app is only about helping you too protect your privacy, which is what I wrote in response.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
downvoted
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have had too many discussions with people who want to permanent delete messages without any confirmation. I always say that at least one confirmation is necessary because permanent deletion is irreversible. Often they say "I know what I am doing". My response is "You might, but many others do not". They often answer with "I don't believe that". Okay, but how about this German 2* rating because permanent deletion will inform the sender (spammer) of the message?

Link.

Please do not ask me about permanent deletion without any confirmation anymore, also not for an option for that. This won't be added ever because people will in the end blame me for having lost important messages. In fact this happened already several times, while it was always their own fault.

Your grumpy old developer aka drama queen, who is fortunately feeling a bit better.

[Android Apps and Games] bmwdroid:
It seems to me that they don't wanna give up bugging you.
[Android Apps and Games] Rtxda:
Thanks for the feedback.

I did that twice yesterday, but didn't help.

Regarding your second quest:

I have not downloaded large amounts of data/mails recently at least.

The unified inbox does not contain so many messages. Older ones are (I think) hidden at some point. If the total number of mails in all inbox folders downloaded at some point plays a role, I would have to check again.

I have now uninstalled the current version, restored an old backup (1.1830 - app and data) via titanium backup and restarted my device. This version runs normally again. All missing mails after the point of the backup were also downloaded without any problems. This probably falls under "larger quantities".

If you want me to check anything else, I can also install the current version again.

Just in case: I also have most of your other apps installed on that device (Netguard, Xprivacy and Lua). But since years, and I didn't change any settings before and after the update.

(I am using a translator. Please bear with me if it is not always well worded.)

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There seems to be some change in version 1.1991 causing this problem. I will tomorrow try to find out which change exactly.

[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
The general stop function is much better now (1.111).

From time to time, when i set "inactive"... sync continues, and i've to re-activate and deactivate (immediately) for getting a real stop.

Didn't find why for now... i'll tell you.
[Android Apps and Games] guillermohs9:
Hi! When viewing a sent message with many recipients, the little window with the addresses is hard or impossible to scroll through (unless you are selecting something in it as text). Seeing there is a scrollbar, I think it is designed to scroll? I guess it is also like that on other folders. Can't tell right now. Using FairEmail on Android 9.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please update to the latest version:

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

[Android Apps and Games] mine420:
After updating to version 1.112 released today the app is no longer activated for pro options. I had trouble updating so I uninstall the app and install the newest because of errors "app not installed". My thought was the activation link would still work but I guess I did it wrong. What can I do to solve this.
[Android Apps and Games] guillermohs9:
Here goes a screenshot. I hope I'm not bug reporting on a fat finger case. I also would like to know if buying the pro features would survive through my many rom flashings.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have found why this happens and it will be fixed in the next release.

If you backup/restore the app with its data, the pro features will stay activated.
[Android Apps and Games] guillermohs9:

This version adds selection of multiple message. After long pressing, you can swipe up/down to select a range of messages to move. Multiple selection will be a pro feature in the next release.

[MENTION=7110440]guillermohs9[/MENTION] this version should fix your problem too
[Android Apps and Games] guillermohs9:
Indeed, I can now see all recipients in an expanded list. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
I got a few force closes while trying multi select, two subsequent in total, but now I can't reproduce it.

One other thing: if you touch the action bar in the notification on the far right side, so far away from the word 'trash', the message is still trashed.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please send me the debug information directly after reproducing the crash.

Notification actions are handled by Android. An app has no control over how actions are displayed/handled.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
For multiple select, since there is no cancel or 'x' button,

can back button cancel selection when more than 1 selected?

As of now, if you select 2 or more messages, you need to unselect them one by one to cancel.

Back button takes you back to folders view.

Another thing I noticed:

If you select more than 1 message, swipe left/right still works but applies to single message you are swiping.

Users might be confused expecting all selected messages to either be archived or deleted.

How to tackle this? Or leave as is?

Just to be clear:

3 messages selected.

Middle message swipe left to trash

Only middle message is trashed

Okay for me, but it can be thought of not very clear as some would say since 3 messages are sekected swipe should apply to all three
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail uses the Android design library and is therefore 100% material design.

See here about how exiting selection mode should work:

I will disable swipe in multiple selection mode in the next release.

MD, MD2, are google guidelines and reference. Like a dictionary; however, urban dictionary and slang still exists.

Google does not follow its own guideline to the letter.

For example, app icon is supposed to be a certain way and yet google apps have icons that do not conform;

So, it not quite set in stone.

But that is your call.

Just a slight annoyance on user.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will see if I can add deselect on back tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Is it a good idea to just replace the write floating button with the folder button when multi selecting, instead of adding a new floating button like you do now? It looks nicer, and the write button has no use while you are selecting.
[Android Apps and Games] C.G.B. Spender:
OnePlus 6T with android 11. Will the eventual update require reinstall too? If not I'd rather wait and test that, I still get notifications at least and I don't want to set up 5 accounts from scratch (though will do if that's what it takes to get FE back).

Thank you for your work on the app and quick reply!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have provided @Rtxda with a series of test versions to pinpoint the commit causing the problem and I am patiently awaiting the result. In the meantime you could try this test version with a change based on an educated guess of what the problem is:

https://bitbucket.org/M66B/fairemail-test/downloads/FairEmail-v1.1905a-github-guess-release.apk

In my experience, it is always something else than guessed though, which is why I prefer to do this in a systematic way. I would't have committed a change if I thought it would cause startup problems in the first place ...

It shouldn't be excluded either that your problem is another problem, even if the test version works. So, before installing the test version, try to restart your device first. If you can, please enable error reporting in the miscellaneous settings of the app.

I think it is good to say something about error reporting too: if you look through the commits, you'll find regularly "Prevent crash". Such changes are often based on error reports and are often a workaround for Android problems, mostly version and/or vendor specific. The goal here is to make the app as stable as possible, even if that results in function loss. Receiving messages can be pretty vital for somebody, for example if getting a job depends on it. So, I would like to ask everybody to enable error reporting via the miscellaneous settings tab page. Please see here for more information about error reporting:

[Android Apps and Games] C.G.B. Spender:
I rebooted the phone and updated to 1.1906a from github but it's the same, I will reinstall later today. I tried to spam the icon and few times managed to draw 1 line on the pattern after which it either went to black screen or a popup saying system ui is crashing.

On my lenovo tablet, with android 10 and FE 1.1904 from google store it never stopped working so maybe it's related to android 11?. I've enabled error reporting on tablet and will do on phone soon as I reinstall.

[Android Apps and Games] C.G.B. Spender:
Hi I updated to the version you mailed me, but no change. I managed to capture a video of the case where it lets me start drawing the pattern then crashes ui:

Other times it's literally click on icon instant black screen, or you can see the pattern flash but not able to draw on it, then lock screen loads as in video above.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
System the Android system UI crashes, I don't think this problem is related to FairEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] C.G.B. Spender:
I cleared storage in app settings and the app immediately opened

I mean I understand where you coming from, but it was literally just FE that did that after latest update, while it happily ran in background (I been reading my emails in notifications) so even if the symptom was android ui crashing it was reproducible by attempting to open FE, but in the end I'm not a dev so I don't really know what I'm talking about :)

Off to reconfigure and enable error reporting, thanks for your time.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In that case maybe the data of the app was corrupted, but I think it is too late to diagnose that now.

Anyway, I guess everything will be working again soon enough ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] xdaTanjiro:
Is there anyway to hide the refresh/loading icon because it gets abit annoying having to see it in every folder that I click on. I just want to read whatever emails that were downloaded and never mind the refresh can be in the background.

This is especially useful because I'm on a slow network so the refresh icon seems loading forever when I'm browsing through my folders.
[Android Apps and Games] sssubito:
Wish you get well and healthy soon, your girlfriend and you. Relax, don't get the trolls bug you, don't let the bugs annoy you, life is precious!
[Android Apps and Games] de_Wolf:
The network is unusually slow. I have since I use FE still no refresh icon perceived.

I think the slow network is more annoying than FairEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] xdaTanjiro:
Lol maybe you already used to it. To be honest my network is not that slow just the connection to email provider a.k.a. mailbox.org is unusually slow, hence I'm always seeing the refresh button for more than 3 seconds when browsing each folder.

If I could wish, I want to see the refresh behavior like Tutanota app where it's an unobtrusive horizontal animated line at the top instead of the big refresh button in the middle which sometimes is blocking my view for existing downloaded emails.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am sorry, there is no option for this.

To be clear: do you mean the spinner at the top or in the middle of the screen? The first is the sync spinner, the second is the running tasks spinner.

Maybe you want to disable "browse" in the advanced account settings?
[Android Apps and Games] xdaTanjiro:
I meant the second ("running task spinner").

Great, just did what you said by disabling "browse", the task spinner is gone!

Thanks.

I have answered that synchronization problems are almost never being caused by the app. In fact I haven't seen any example of this in the past year. In other words, it is safe to say that this problem is caused by something else than the app. If only people contacted me for support ...
