I didn't know that. Sry. And i can understand your position.

And it is your project so you must decide. I can only say that in my opinion a export possibility shouldn't be behind a paywall

I guess i paid around 800€ for my device.

Of course your project would be worth to support it via pro version but personally i'm not willing to allow Google Recaptcha in my browsers.

So i will remain at the free version at first. Nevertheless thx for this great project.
[Android Apps and Games] poiki:
Thank you for the advice. It appears to work now.
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
Even if I could afford a to spend that on a device I would be far too embarrassed to admit that I freeload the software I run on it.... lol.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
IMHO export/import is a convenience feature and therefore it is a pro feature. You are not limited in any way because you can always setup your accounts again, which is mostly very simple with the quick setup wizard.

I would very much like to use another captcha solution that actually works. Suggestions are welcome.

Note that any solution powered by a third party server wouldn't be an improvement and that open source is preferred.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Unfortunately, more and more people expect software to be free, while software development requires a lot of work and knowledge.

The end result is that developers get demotivated and that software that makes money in other, less nice, ways remains.

Hello,

I need support about the two following subjects:

1) How to delete a folder? I mean to delete it on the server?

2) I am a bit confused about folders. I understand that I can select what folders to show in the unified inbox. But what about other default folders (Inbox, draft, sent, etc.) : they show all messages of all accounts, but is it possible to select what to show in these folders?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
To delete a folder, please see here:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-how-to-

I guess you mean the unified system folders in the navigation menu: the messages in these folders are a collection of messages of all inbox, drafts, sent, etc folders of all accounts. You can select in the account settings which folder is the drafts, sent messages folder for the account.
[Android Apps and Games] jochen01:
Tried it without result. All signed messages have this icon left of sender address looking like -- track of a crazy pencil ;)

EDIT: You seem to mean the icon left of the spam flag? Yes, it works. Thank you.

Another 58 releases to mark the 1000th update! My bet is before mid March

Wow! Marcel, thanks a ton and I am sure in my lifetime I won't come across such a dedicated and proactive developer

1000th is mind boggling and a big shout out to you. I wonder if Guinness or some such org tracks things like this

Guys and Gals- I think it's time to plan on loosening the purse strings to do our bit. What do you say?
[Android Apps and Games] aalto73:
Yes I mean the unified system folders.

-I understand that the inbox of the unifed system folders is different from the unified inbox, but don't really understand why

-In the account settings I can choose to not assigned an account folder to the unified system folders but only for sent, archive, trash, spam. Why not inbox?

I am neither complaining nor asking for modifications, I just try to understand. :o
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
With one or two releases a week, it will take some more time to reach the 1000th release.

Since new features seem not to make more people more happy, there will be no more new features anymore for the time being.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is because the inbox is a special, always present system folder and therefore doesn't need to be selected.

The name is a fixed name, see here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-5.1

The selection of folders in the account settings mainly exists because some email servers do not properly mark system folders, meaning that FairEmail cannot automatically recognize the folders.

[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Does that count as a new feature, as far as the new feature embargo goes? It would sure make me happy :) and I'm sure it would be appreciated by many people.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This would not really be a new feature, but an improvement of an existing feature.

Tell me how you use the new 'importance' feature and I will consider to add it.

I use it as a to do list for important things.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Somebody just summarized FairEmail as "fake, 1 star". Must have been a zombie I guess.
[Android Apps and Games] heisert:
Below the Play Store ratings is always a whether it is helpful (yes/no) . Is there any point for pressing on no for unfair reviews? Or is it only for best/worst top reviews?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't think it will affect the average rating, but it will sort the reviews for readers in a different way.

As developer I can only report comments, which results in a confirmation email and never anything else. Even if the comments contains obviously not allowed rude language, nothing will be done with the report. How nice!

Any contact with Google is problematic to say the least. I still haven't heard anything about the Oauth re-review yet for example. Edit: not to speak about reported clones that obviously violate the open source license where the report includes conclusive proof and Google just says they won't do anything! Note that they even violate international agreements by acting like this.

FairEmail will likely be available in Huawei's AppGallery soon (the Corona virus is delaying things a bit) and Huawei handles this in a completely different way. As developer, I have a personal, named contact at Huawei, who approached me in the first place. Any question I ask is being answered within a few hours and any problem is solved right away.

What do you think what will happen if Huawei, the second largest smartphone manufacturer of the world, is going to ship devices with no Play store anymore?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Yeah me too, more like a to do list. Let's say I get 10 emails from my boss, 3 of them are urgent, 2 of them are very low priority and 5 are normal priority. I would like to select the 3 urgent, choose high importance so they show at the top of my unified inbox, then choose the 2 low priority and choose low importance. Ability to choose importance for a batch of emails would be easier/quicker than to select each one by one. Hope it makes sense.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
well ;emoji fingers-crossed; on the huawei situation. perhaps more manufacturers will get a clue and include FE and other top shelf apps in their phones.

and "with no play store" , just makes me want to buy their device just for that!
[Android Apps and Games] kaiserlover82:
Hi,

First time posting on this thread, looking for support and was redirected here.

I noticed a strange thing on my fair email. My received messages are arriving with the wrong timestamp, an hour earlier. This seems to be completely cosmetic. I checked on the server via web gui and messages are listed in the correct order. For example, if I send an email at 8:00 and I get a reply at 8:05, the reply will be listed as 7:05 instead.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail will use the time the server 'tells' to FairEmail.

Please make sure the time zone of your device is correct.

But, to be honest..

If you take the bad and ****ty feedback so serious, pls be fair ! Then it would be fair to take also ALL feedback serious ! Eg: And do the same with 40.000 "thanks" only on xda what you earned !!!

And i guess that is extremly special in Android world.

The app is really very great and i know that as a dev. And much more better is your support and intentions to make it more and more better and constantly improving the app.

Looking forward ..

Bug Report - Forwarding Error

Bug Report - Forwarding Error

Actions taken:

I received a message with attachments to my Yahoo address. A few minutes later, I read the message, and forwarded it with attachments.

Results:

Received notification that the message did not send. "Too many bad auth attempts". (Please see attached images)

Follow up:

After having the Error for an hour, I opened k9mail and forwarded the same message without any Error. After several hours, FairMail continued to display the Error. I exited FairMail and force closed it. Upon re-opening, I continued to receive the Error. I went into Operations and deleted the operation to forward the message. After deleting the operation, I tested sending a new message to my Yahoo address from another email account. Account synced successfully and the new message was received (demonstrating that there should not have been an authentication problem).

Other details:

This was the first time I ever forwarded a message with FairMail.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is an error issued by the email (SMTP) server, so this can't be fixed by FairEmail.

Please double check the identity's username and password (Setup, step 2, Manage, tap identity).

-Changed new message notification preview text to full text (for wearables)

Just for info (maybe you are waiting for a response) : Samsung Galaxy Watch still not showing the Text. Only Sender + subject. And Samsung didnt response of any of my Mails.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The change was meant to send the full text instead of the preview text to wearables, so you can read (if it works) the complete message on your wearable.

Maybe I did suggest this before, but did you already try to enable/disable the the notification option Only send notifications with a message preview to wearables ?

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

I'm not sure about https://github.com/alipov/ews-android-api/ (posted here previously), but I use DavMail on my Linux desktop and it works perfectly fine. It is (pure)Java on Linux app, could be ported to Android (theoretically).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This library is old and not maintained, like all of them. Likely because the interest in EWS is very limited.

None of the libraries I have checked supported push messages, so it would always be a polling only implementation.

Since EWS is being phased out, I don't think it is worth the effort to start maintaining a library myself.
[Android Apps and Games] caesar68:
Very good app. After I found out how to get the messages to to my Wear (found it in this thread), I had only one small issue. I have the pro-Version, but I do not get any result when searching for mail that are only on the server (imap). Is there also a flag that should be set, like indexing etc.? Searching for mail on the device is working. With K-9 the server search is working fine...

First: Thank your hard work. I love this app! Keep it up! :)

Second: I've got a problem. While FairMail runs really fluid on my Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite it's the opposite on a friends smartphone (Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite [Android One]).

The scrolling is kind of hooky in the inbox and other folders.

Maybe you can see it here.

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW7EmKzQvnw[/YOUTUBE]

Is there a hidden option to enable hardware acceleration or something like that or is the smartphone just too slow (what I can't believe)?

I spent quite some time looking into line breaks of reformatted messages, just to conclude that it is impossible to make it work in all situations without building a browser.

Huawei has

only be excellent

in helping to get FairEmail listed in the AppGallery. While reviewing FairEmail, which is done manually (somebody is actually testing if the app works!), they discovered a problem in HMS Core (selecting accounts does not work properly) and they are working on it to fix this right now.

HMS Core is meant to replace Google Play services, etc and it should not be underestimated what this means. Besides that it is a

huge

undertaking, it does mean that all Android apps can run without any Google services, breaking the vendor lock-in of Google.

Android might be open source, but Google Play services is not and lots of apps depend on this system component.
