[Android Apps and Games] DavidEUS:
I have a problem, I just realized that the upper icon that indicates when the accounts are updating (in my case I do it manually) does not disappear. That is, I enter Fairemail, update the accounts, exit the application without modifying anything and 1h later the arrows icon is still there, I must force the closing of the app so that it disappears.

I have reinstalled and recovered the data using the backup offered by the application, and it continues to do so. The version I have is 1.1294 Google play. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can always make me happier with a nice Play store review.

So far, it doesn't withhold me from working on FairEmail, but it isn't motivating either.
[Android Apps and Games] DavidEUS:
Thanks Marcel, I had already read the Faq, the fact is that I have been using FE for a long time and this has happened to me recently, with the same configuration always. Im on android 10
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The "monitoring" status bar notification is shown by default because Google designed it this way. The FAQ explains how you can disabled it.
[Android Apps and Games] jw111:
Hi Marcel,

I am enjoying the search a lot, especially searching on the server which is quite good. It finds messages from 8 years ago that I would never find through the email service web page.

I have one minor issue which is my fault.

I usually keep the filter set on my inbox to show unread messages only.

When I do a search then I always forget to turn off the filter. Then I don't get any hits and stare stupidly at my phone wondering why not before I finally realize that I had the filter on. I then have to go back, turn off the filter, and do the same search again.

Is there any way to have the search default to all messages when though I have the unread filter on?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:

Strange Display

I fell really dumb. Today when I opened Fairemail, the messages are huge. I can only see three unexpanded emails at once on my Galaxy Note 9 instead of many in the unified inbox. I must have messed something up in settings, but I can't find a setting that fixes the problem. Compact view makes things better, but the display is not the same. I tried closing the app, rebooting the phone, etc. I was running version 1.1299, then upgraded to 1.1301 just in case.

If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.

Thanks!

Here is what I noticed:

Recently I had to use an additional CC-address for a mail, so I clicked on the corresponding symbol to display the CC- and BCC-line to enter it there.

Since then, the CC- and BCC-lines are displayed every time and for every mail I want to write - even if I had folded them in again for a mail.

How can I achieve that mail drafts open again by default without CC- and BCC-lines displayed and that displaying these lines only applies to this specific mail (and not to all future ones)?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is a setting to truncate the subject you'll want to look into.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Good point. I will look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=7350063]fraschi51[/MENTION] the state of showing CC/BCC addresses is remembered for the next message and doesn't depend on the default CC/BCC address. So, just collapse it and it will be collapsed the next time.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
So I thought it was in the past. Here the lines always remain visible, even if I folded them once. What could be the reason for this?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
On reply the last visibility state of CC/BCC addresses will be used, but on reply-to-all the CC/BCC addresses will always be shown. Could this be an explanation?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
I don't know, because even with a new mail these lines are always displayed here.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't see how this can happen. The CC/BCC addresses are shown only if:

They were shown before by tapping on the "persons" icon

On reply to all

On inserting a contact group

Please open a draft, hide the CC/BCC addresses by tapping on the "persons" icon and open the draft again. The CC/BCC addresses should not be shown.

Edit: the next version will always show the CC/BCC addresses if there are CC/BCC addresses.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Sorry, not here. If I hide the CC and BCC lines, then save the draft and then open it again from the draft folder, the two lines are still visible again.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
My bad: you need to long press on the "persons" icon to change the default.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Ah, o.k., that's it. :) Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
I mean this:

View attachment 4566499

Not really. For example, what's the faster way to access to the Sent folder of account "XYZ"? With my current email client I always see the name of my accounts and I just have to hit 2 options to open the folder. I don't see how a search could be better.

That's a solution but not eye candy IMHO. Have a look at the recent email clients such as Aquamail to see what I mean.

Deleted email and moved email at least.

I hope we are not extremist enough to challenge this permission requests :)

Oh yes, I didn't notice it.

Indeed, it

should

. I wanted to test again this morning but I noticed that Safe email doesn't work when using my VPN. No new email notifications and an email hasn't been sent. Once I disconnected the VPN it went back to normal.

Another thing, the toast message "message queued" when sending an email is not a good idea. I'm sure newcomers will say "the queue of what?" :D It's probably technically correct but not user-friendly. "Sending your email" would be better.

By and large, I think the app should be more intuitive and eye candy if you want to see more users switching from K9.

Anyway thanks for your answers.

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
What isn't intuitive yet and what eye candy needs to be added? (avatars were already suggested).
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
I don't have all the answers (and enough time) but installing the most used email clients may help to find clues.

Example 1: how could I easily see if there's a sync error with one of my accounts? Not sure if the current layout allows this.

Example 2: You want to keep the current layout of the folders screen but I'm sure many users won't like (they are not senior devs :) ).

Example 3: it also depends where you will put the (potential) search, select all... icons.

Previous post updated with the app names.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
I also think having all account appear in drawer would be useful. And, clicking on one account goes to that particular accounts folders.

This I guess is personal preference, as to me the current folders page is a jumbled mess. But that is my taste. I like things organized.

This is also personal preference, where as most apps do, such as browsers, an option in Settings which enables/disables access to contacts, therefore only users wanting it should grant permission.

Here again is the problem. Additional settings would be needed as app becomes further developed. Hence a settings section would be useful.

Always plan ahead, one step at a time. For now having a settings section with only theming might not seem handy, but abouts section could also be placed in settings, ...

For the drawer, I suggest taking a look at how other apps handle it.

For example taking AIMP and applying it to email would look something like this:

Also, the current highlighted playlist can be the current account/place you are looking at at the moment.

I have just release alpha version 0.7

Changelog/download:

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

Question and remarks are very welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] tbv2005:
Play protect message during installation is gone with this version :good:

As well cna confirm that the folders load much faster then before.

Still my last 2 "improvment requests" apply, would be nice if you can say that you consider them for later, or you think it's not worth it to implement...

1. Would it be possible to have synced folders on top of the folder list, and then the folders which are not synced? (reason for me is that a lot if emails in my account are automatically sorted to folders and on mobile I just need 3 folders out of approx. 15)

2. For later when in production, it would be nice if you can swipe left/right to go to the next email in the folder you are right now.

Thanks in advanced. Little donation will be done later today, latest tomorrow.....
[Android Apps and Games] :
Not sure if this request is premature, but I'd love to see a darker font in the message body text in light theme.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Where possible colors are system default colors. Deviating from this is bound to result in problems with custom themes, where also the answer to your question lies ...

Thanks for reply, have done my part as well (but for all 3 apps I am currently using from you).
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] , if still considering names (and dont know if has been suggested) how about just drop the "E" = SafeMail.

just a thought. and ty for your sharing of work and time.:good:

err on the side of kindness
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am considering the name Ishmail as suggested by [MENTION=5208282]kindlyoldbear[/MENTION], but I need to be sure that it won't offend people because Ishmael is not only a Moby-**** character but also a biblical figure. Can somebody help to take away or to confirm my doubt?
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
for what its worth , no problem with Ishmail here.:good:

err on the side of kindness

+1 for Ishmail

err on the side of kindness
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
That's up to you. We are not talking about Jesus, Abraham or Judas and only 3 letters (not the whole name) but chances are that you will get comments on Google Play just for a name.

I created an icon yesterday with this name.
[Android Apps and Games] khnoizer:
Not only biblical, it's part of "abrahamic" religions, there are risks of people dislike it, or would got offended because it's a "sacred" name. While I as one of the followers would love it since it's a great project, represents openness, giving, cooperativeness, and loads of other good things (the greatness of open source)
[Android Apps and Games] Namnodorel:
The thing is, if you wait/search long enough, there will always be someone who is offended. The question is whether or not you care about these people. I personally like ChainMail better than Ishmail, mainly because the pronounciation is more intuitive for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Base2:
Offending some people might not be the only question you should consider when choosing a name, it is 'cute' as being a literary reference, but when someone searches the play store for an email application they will get lots of apps in response to a query. Is this a name that will generate a selection by potential users to see more details or will it tend to be dismissed in favor of others? You're entering a very competitive market segment, and the "name of the game" in it to generate a large user base is "marketing". On that basis, is this a 'good' choice? Or is it a 'niche application' choice? mrrocketdog's suggestion of SafeMail is, I think, a better choice, if more 'common'...
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
You are probably too young to realize what chainmail is.

Not only does it create confusion as to what app is, as in the 90s chainmail is associated to spammail: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chain_letter

Also, where is chain fire in all this?

Just more confusion.

ISHmail, ish-Mail, seems more suitable
[Android Apps and Games] Namnodorel:
I agree with you on the first part, but disagree on the last one. I think SafeMail sounds a little too generic and not very memorable. More "yet another email app" than something unique people recognize.

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

I know what it is, but just as you said, it is not that common anymore, which is why the first association would likely be the armor - and that is the intended effect.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have to agree with [MENTION=7034101]Namnodorel[/MENTION] here, but please keep discussing about this (and let me concentrate on development).

Infomaniak ?

Hi team,

I tried to setup my Infomaniak account in FarEmail, but I have the message "failed: Re-Authentification failure". Any idea why ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No idea. Maybe it will help if provide more details about what you did and when you get that message.
[Android Apps and Games] ehquionest:
Well in FarEmail, I added an account and selected "Infomaniak" into the list provided for providers, then I entered my User name and password and clicked on Verified and that's it, I got this message...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It seems to me you need to authenticate in another way to allow the username / password to be used. Please check the instructions of the provider on setting up an external email client (IMAP/SMTP).
[Android Apps and Games] ehquionest:
I did it, I tried with "personnalised" in the list provided and enter my settings: user name, port, server, password => same, nevermind... Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Is there anybody else using Infomaniak who can help?
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
Yes. Maybe a screenshot could help.

stable

version 1.74

Changelog/download:

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

This version will connect to the mail server(s) at most each 90 seconds to reduce battery usage when on an unstable connection. The folder icon will now show if the primary account is connected (open=disconnected, closed=connected).
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Thanks

I was hoping that "Connection failure" problem would be resolved. I have nearly 20 folders set to sync but about 5 of them always show this error

Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Synchronize less folders.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
That's one solution that isn't going to work for me. After reading that 25 is the limit, I reduced and now counted to see 19. These are needed and if 5 of them didn't connect I am out of options
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail treats all folders in the same way, so if a few do not connect, this is most likely a limitation of the provider.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Not sure if it is a Gmail limitation, considering it hasn't been reported or people don't sync that many IDK
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
Wow, from 0.73 to 1.74, big big update :)

I did not updated to "1.0" because I could seem to be the very first version.

Is FairEmail designed to obey substratum theming? It looks like the latest installation of FairEmail, for some reason, obeys the substratum theming for the entire system, which is actually great :D
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail is 100% material design, so I am not surprised about this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:

The limit of 25 folders to synchronize will be removed as well.

Sorry, just tried to add another (infomaniak) mailbox (i have several, most of them secondary) and all went smoothless.

Did you try with your mailbox password and not your infomaniak's one ? (sorry if it's obvious)

I will add a popup message that the default is changed, so if this happens to somebody by accident, there is at least a message.

I have just released version 1.1302

Changelog/download:

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

The previous version added a fast logout / socket close to prevent waiting too long if there is no response from the email server (anymore). This revealed that JavaMail is trying to logout from connections that were already disconnected. This has been addressed in this version. The end result will be less battery usage :)

Please report any issue, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] nebula9:
Thanks for the great app. I've supported development and use it for my main email. I'd like to ask for the potential addition of two features:

1. The ability to set a custom theme (so we could pick and choose our colors arbitrarily).

2. The ability to modify actions on messages so I can press "delete" (as in permanently) on the menu for any message without sending it to my trash.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Android does not support dynamic themes, so all themes need to be hard-coded. Besides that, themes are more than a few colors. For example themes with a yellow text have a darker link text color for improved visibility.

You can skip the trash folder by deselecting it in the account settings (Setup, step 1, tap Manage, tap account, at the bottom).

Hello, Marcel.

May be it's now better time to ask you to add the "strike out text" (<S> HTML tag)

It would be so helpful to those who publish blog posts via email and can help to make texts more "alive" in general

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is on my to do list, like many other things, but it will be low priority.

Hi Marcel,

I have been using NovaLauncher and in the FairEmail icon it correctly shows the number of unread msgs in my combined inbox. I here some accounts that I just monitor but do not mark msgs read so I have them set so they are not in combined inbox and do not contribute to the unread total

Samsung One UI was just updated to 2.5 so I thought I would try it. It shows all unread msgs in the icon. I have 5 unread in my convinced inbox but it shows 999 because I have more than that in the other accounts.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Maybe this FAQ can help?

Just installed this great email app on my S10.

One question: how can I set the email sync period?

I would like to see older emails (6 months or older)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Long press folder (inbox) in the folder list of the account > synchronize more messages.
[Android Apps and Games] chiman:
Whoo, very fast response! Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] jw111:
Ok for some reason when using Nova launcher the FairEmail icon just shows the number of unread messages in the unified inbox and ignores messages in other inboxes that have Notify in New Messages checked. That has been working ok for me ever since I set it up in March.

I never tried earlier versions of Samsung One UI. When using Samsung One UI 2.5 then it includes totals of inboxes that are not in the Unified Inbox but have Notify on New Messages checked. I unchecked this on those inboxes and now the total on the icon in One UI is correct so I am all set now.

Thanks.

Hi Marcel,

Search is working better for me now that having the unread filter on does not filter out read items when I search.

One more question. Search can sometimes take a while, especially on the server. The screen just stays black so I don't know if search is done and found nothing or if it is still running. Is it possible to have some sort of sign that it is busy like a spinning globe or whatever you use elsewhere? I thought search used to have this but I am not sure.

Even better would be to show what percentage of the search is finished but probably this is not possible.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
A percentage is not possible because this is not reported by the email server. There should be a spinner in the middle of the screen though.
[Android Apps and Games] jw111:
No. I do not see a spinner. In a search I just did it took 4 seconds for the on device search and 10 seconds for the on server search. For on device search the screen just showed the header and the server search button until the results appeared. For on server search the screen was just blank besides the header until the search results came up.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The spinner will not be shown if something happens within half a second to prevent flickering. For me the spinner shows both when searching on the device and on the server, both of which I am using a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] jw111:
Sometimes I see that within the first half second the words "No Messages" briefly appear then disappear. After that the screen is blank until 4-10 seconds later my search results appear.

This does not always happen.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Can you please do a search, wait until the results appear and immediately after that send me the debug info by long pressing 'Support' in the navigation menu (swipe from the left edge inwards for quick access).
