You see, it was not my day.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Is the display name of folders not included in the settings export?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I think not. I will fix this in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Thanks.

Maybe you can look into something else too: because the passwords are not exported, when importing the settings obviously you have to provide them again, but you have to do that for both the incoming as for the outgoing servers separately. For most providers, these are the same. Can you change that, at least for the providers where you know that they are equal, like Gmail etc.?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't want to add anything provider specific, so copying passwords is not really possible. I am assuming you are not exporting/importing everyday, so I don't see this as a big problem.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
People not using the filters would probably be annoyed with a permanent filter icon in the action bar, especially if the screen is small.

Snooze with Thunderbrid

Hi [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]

I really like the snooze feature, I however have problems integrating it in my workflow, as it only hides the messages in Fairmail but not in my synced thunderbird - desktop app. Is would be enought to move the snoozed mails into another folder ( and move them back to inbox when they end snooze) so i dont see them in my inbox while they are hidden. However I could not find any settings to specify the behavior of the snooze event. Do you have an idea on how to solve that or could you add this setting?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Snoozing is not standardized, so all snooze solutions are custom.

FairEmail hides the message on the device and shows it again as unread when the snooze period is over.

That's just how it works.

Edit: there is also a practical problem: moving the message to a selected folder would be possible, but where should the message be moved back? Theoretically, it would be possible to have a table somewhere, but this would be a rather complicated solution.

Edit: after my development vacation is over, I will see what I can do.

Edit: there are too many things that can go wrong with moving messages resulting in all kinds of edge cases.

Note that there is an option to star snoozed messages. Maybe you can use that.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you didn't rate the app in the Play store and you can, please do. Sometimes it just looks like only people having something to complain rate the app :(
[Android Apps and Games] dirtyreturn:
That's a shame! This app sounds extremely misunderstood. Privacy and deep customization oriented. FairEmail is not a 'plug and play' app.

I rated your app five stars!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks.

Given that the quick setup wizard is able to figure out the right settings in 95 % of the cases, I think FairEmail is 'plug and privacy', at least it is meant to be.
[Android Apps and Games] Morningkill:
Are you still looking for a test account to implement MFA / Office365 ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not sure what this is about.

In any case OAuth for Office365 has been implemented soon after Microsoft made this available.

This is available via the quick setup wizard.

[MENTION=1663793]twistednl[/MENTION] I like to hear if PIN / bio-metric authentication in the privacy settings works more transparently now.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Showing waiting state (see legend)

Retrying to connect faster when charging

Man - the things you think of !! Simply mind boggling! Well done, Marcel!
[Android Apps and Games] twistednl:
I just updated and checked settings. Is that what you updated? Functionality works perfect (as it did before) so not sure what you mean :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There will be a check mark when a PIN has been set and enabling bio-metric authentication disables the PIN and the other way around.
[Android Apps and Games] twistednl:
Ah yes! Since I reset my pin to be able to use fingerprint, I didn't see the checkmark. Works nice and is a bit more clear now.

Thanks!

(Btw, I just dropped an 5 star review on Google play)
[Android Apps and Games] dirtyreturn:
Ahhh!!

M66B, that's a great way to describe your app, for sure!

Talk about having a rational, level headed mind!

Why you get low store ratings makes no sense. Perhaps, maybe it's the privacy aspect? If this app were plug and play (i.e. big name mail client) with the attached development name or marketing name I don't think people would be so quick or harsh in their judgement of your FairEmail.

I would say it's conspiratorial. People probably download your app JUST to leave a poor rating and limit the potential success that could be possible for you and for FairEmail. I disagree that your star rating has any actual relevance to your design and functionality. But, I'm sure people will refuse to try your app with less than stellar rating. Of which I am guilty of as a rule. I don't use apps unless they have a good rating. I find it to be common sense and a smart way to try or start to use an app. You're already aware of the consumer mindset anyway.

Do you think, though, that google would be willing to review your app? Kind of , you know, take it for a test drive so to speak. To spend some hands on time.

If this is possible, they would, for sure, realize the complaints that roll in are unwarranted and without any factual basis.

Again, I am just saying, you may have hit your ceiling. Make be FairEmail is ahead of it's time. IDK. App deving and store publishing must be very competitive.

AT LEAST, you are here on XDA still!

I hope I've not overstepped my bounds with this post. I feel that its not at all cool why you would receive poor ratings in the first place.

YOUR app is freaking great. In any way, take care, and I'm looking forward to your continued maintenance of FairEmail!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Bad reviews are mostly unfounded and it is rather frustrating that I can't do anything about it. Even if I am clearly being insulted, like being "stupid", Google almost always says that a review is not violating the Play store review policies. Even if this were true, the policies are quite obviously wrong. IMHO Google violates EU regulation 2019/1150 rather often and I hope they will get a huge fine some day for this.

Google is "autistic" (quotes because I don't want to offend anybody!), which means that you basically cannot contact Google in any way for a sensible discussion.

You are certainly not overstepping any boundaries!

Recent example: somebody left a bad review because "trash all" didn't always work. I fixed the problem and the review was updated with a preach:

„Die meisten Menschen wollen lieber durch Lob ruiniert als durch Kritik gerettet werden“

(Most people would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism)

Note that I didn't get a chance in the first place.
[Android Apps and Games] dirtyreturn:
I'm out of THANKS! THANKS!

Do you play computer games? Have the steam client? I feel like this app can be compared to an early access game off of steam.

Like, its still in its infancy, hence, there will be a bug or two or what have you.

People like to be entitled (bad reviewers) to a polished product. But, it seems to be unreasonable as you know. Plus, Pixel phones, or google phones, the nexus line all had, currently have bugs / issues. People still buy them. Big name, people still complain, etc..

There doesn't seem to be a way around it, I guess.

If, by chance, that this is possible - maybe the ratings are your criticism regardless of detail about what doesn't work or why the consumer is unhappy. Maybe, look at the ratings and even if for a brief second try to figure out the reference the rating is referring to and say, ' something needs fixed '. One person unwilling to looked past minor inconvenience and already undeserving of using FairEnail gone.

Bug squashed, another consumer or two come along and your better off for having made the correction, addition, improvement.

IDK. I don't dev and stuff. It's just never good when someone hurts, reaches out and stuff.

Maybe the lower rating can be your criticism regardless of the actual comment included. If possible keep your eyes looking at the stars!
[Android Apps and Games] netgar:
Hi,

I have few questions regarding this app.

How to get rid of this? I just like clean look.

Does this app use less battery running in background?

Thank you for all your help.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
You don't look in settings - notifications of FE?

What is 'clean loock'? Here are just 25 notifications from various apps and I'm happy about it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Hey [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION], would you consider adding a new line if there isn't one already before the signature is appended because when I forget to add it manually in the message body, the signature goes straight after the body. I know I could add a newline at the beginning of my signature to prevent this, but I think this could be handled natively. Let me know what you think!

Thanks for this amazing app!
[Android Apps and Games] netgar:
"Clean look" means that I just don't like to have unnecessary notifications right there.

Hopefully someone can help me to get rid of it.

I tried to play with notifications and I noticed that if I uncheck notifications in settings I don't receive email notifications. ?
[Android Apps and Games] Namnodorel:
This sort of persistent notification is required to ensure that Android doesn't kill the app while it's in the background. Without it, FairEmail could not provide reliable and in-time notifications about new mails. Because of this, it wouldn't make sense to disable the notification from within FairEmail.

However, if you are on a recent Android version (8 and up, iirc), you can remove the notification throigh the systems' app settings. You can usually long-press a notification to access them. There, you can disable showing the persistent notification. Note that you need to disable the subcategory, not all notifications from FarEmail! Otherwise, you will also block regular mail notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see this FAQ how you can remove the "monitoring' status bar notification:

Thank you my friends. I got it ?
[Android Apps and Games] droidsometimes:
A small feature request, AquaMail has this... *hides*

A config option to use nonproportional font in plaintext email.

I get a lot of server mail and it's way more readable with a nonproportional font.

Also, maybe something could be done about this weird reformatting?

(it's essentially the contents of mutiple diff files)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is an option to use a monospaced font in the display settings.

The message doesn't look good because there seems to be newlines missing. I like to receive the raw message file of this message for inspection. You can save a raw message file via the horizontal three-dots menu just above the message text. You can long press 'Support' in the navigation menu for my email address.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Maybe I am stupid, some Play store reviews say this in any case, but I cannot reproduce this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] droidsometimes:
:good:

Duh.. I'm an idiot. Saw that option but for some unknown reason thought it would change the display of every mail, so I didnt't bother trying it... *hides even more*
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
This definitely happens to me. Maybe I could send you a raw message where it is the case? Maybe it's some setting I have set (or unset), I don't use usenet signature for example. How could I help you reproduce this?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You know my email address, so just send me a message showing this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Marcel said that other people would be unhappy if he add a newline between body-text and signatur, so we have to add this newline after our text manually.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The text and signature will never be concatenated (the same sentence/paragraph), but there won't be an *extra* auto new line because not everybody wants this.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
If I would use a signature without signature separator like you, Dark_Eyes_, it would actually be the easiest thing to add this extra blank line at the beginning of the signature - and you never have to think about it again. But if you - like me here - use the signature separator, it won't work because the empty line actually belongs above the signature separator and not below it. So I still have to remember to manually enter this additional blank line below the text in *every* mail.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In case of the Usenet signature separator there is already a separator in the form of two lines, so IMO it is not very useful to have an extra newline in this case.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
But I think you don't see an empty line above the signatur separator in my mail?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Only if you put an empty line at the end of your message.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
That's what I said.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, I know.

However, IMHO the two dashes already act as a separator, like this

Note that I have put a considerable effort into not removing new lines at the end of a message, so it would be contra-productive to start adding them now.

Changelog/download:

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

This version changes, hopefully improves, how white space is being handled. It also means that you can start sentences in the editor with spaces now. Although this is a core change, I didn't mark this version as experimental because I don't think extra/missing spaces would be a big problem. If you see something strange/unusual, please let me know, preferable after you have compared the reformatted message view with the original message view.

Please report any issue you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] sbellon:
Is there some list somewhere that shows the differences of the releases, so that one can educate oneself which release most likely fits best to the own use-case?

Besides Android auto support there are no differences in features.

This version adds PGP subject decryption, although this is a draft standard, so subjects encrypted by Thunderbird can be made visible. After this has been confirmed to work properly, I will add optional subject encryption too.

Please report any issue you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION], since you seem to be working on whitespace and newline in the reformatted text, I want to let you know that signatures always seem to add extra newline between each line. For example

Mr. X

Director

Company Y

Looks like

Mr. X

Director

Company Y

It's like that for my own signature as well as others. It can get a bit long when people have lengthy signatures. Anything that can be done?

Thanks for your time!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am busy reworking newlines handling, so this will probably be fixed in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] Ikearat:
Just an idea...

Text message (SMS) and Multimedia messaging (MMS) integrated into FairEmail.

Benefits would include (but not be limited to), knowing Marcel is at the task, single front-end for all of the useful non-voice communications on the phone and isolation of your Contacts List from Google's shifty compulsion to see who you know and are in contact with. (If you wonder why I would want this, go research OMACP)

Right now I am using 3rd party apps to work around the "Favorites" nonsense and I am trying as hard as I can to avoid any contacts manager that has any method at all of syncing data (with anyone/anything).

I use a 3rd party app for SMS and MMS which I'm still cautious of... but, it is "open source" so I'm hoping the community is watching.

I wear my tinfoil hat with pride! Develop your own sense of caution! If "they" can't get you to voluntarily share your personal information (and often you will pay "them" for the privilege) then "they" don't have any problem stealing it from you.
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
Sorry, that's not tinfoil that is stupid.

Ever heard of separation of concerns?

Also this is some kind of heroism following. Marcel does great work, but then again he is a one man show. Why don't you ask him to make an own android for all devices or better.. an own OS for devices you use. And hardware level drivers... And hardware..

Also sms and Google don't have anything in common, except you let it. So do your homework!

And then there is QKSMS..

.. and element... And a bunch of others... And...
[Android Apps and Games] upD8R:
Wow, I didn't know, this is still a topic.

MMS: I don't think I received/sent any in the past 10 years or so.

SMS: only used for 2FA where TOTP is not supported.

Bug or misunderstanding with search e-mail

When using email search button, the set filter remains still strangely active so that not all emails are displayed. Please can you set the filter to reset after searching, please. Show me again and again this email address when last search.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not sure what you mean, but the advanced options will be remember for the next time because this is what most people want.

The last search term is remembered, but you can simply type of swipe over it.
[Android Apps and Games] maikcrew:
So it's probably a mistake elsewhere I do not know. Are some emails still not showing me?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not sure if I understand you, but searched messages are not filtered.
[Android Apps and Games] maikcrew:
So something went wrong in the program settings. I would try to reinstall the program. Can I back up settings for email accounts?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can export your settings and accounts via the navigation menu of the setup screen.

Alternatively, you can reset the options on each settings tab page via the three-dots menu.

There is also a 'Reset questions' button on the miscellaneous settings tab page.

I guess I don't understand your problem, so I am not sure if this will fix anything.
[Android Apps and Games] maikcrew:
I guess I understood where the problem is they don't show me in a unified email folder from gmail. I can find them in the All Emails folder in the gmail location.

[Android Apps and Games] maikcrew:
Wouldn't it be possible to show emails from both the delivery folder and the folder of all messages in the unified folder appear from the gmail imap account, please?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Long press the archive folder in the folder list of the account and there will be an option to add it to the unified inbox.

This will have no effect on searching on the server though.
[Android Apps and Games] maikcrew:
You are very kind thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released EXPERIMENTAL version 1.1380

Changelog/download:

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

Message reformatting has significantly been revised. The main change is that tables will be restructured on the fly, which means that the columns of a table will be put below each other now. This will work out sometimes nicely and sometimes less nicely, but that was the case with concatenating columns too. When a column consists of images only or one character only, it will be merged with the next column. If you think this should happen in other cases too, please let me know.

The advantage of reformatting tables is that text alignment can be applied to the column contents and that there will be less whitespace.

Note that:

The pre-history Android TextView cannot show tables

Tables are often used to structure a message (multiple column layout, etc)

It took quite some time, literally days, to implement and test this, but I think it will be generally okay.

Operation processing has been improved (less processor usage) and it is now possible to selectively delete operations with a dialog which can be opened via the three-dots menu of the operations view. Deleting operations this way is safe, but you'll want to synchronize messages again after deleting operations.

Please report any issue you discover.

[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
FairEmail seems to be working smoothly. What are "tables"? What needs to be deeply tested?

BTW, about downloading with Firefox, indeed there was a change which prevents downloading as usual with a single tap on the link. But it works with a long press and selecting "Download the link target" or something like that.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=2932933]ouzowtf[/MENTION] can you please send me the raw message file of this message for inspection?
