I have just released

beta

version 1.856

Changelog/download:

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

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] :
The latest one. Every time I get notification for a new update. I downloaded from GitHub. Yeah, I used the quick setup wizard. Every time I click add new account, nothing happens.

I didn't screen shot the error unfortunately. I'll update you when I can.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Something must happen, either a spinner should be shown or an error message or of course it just works ;)

I hope you selected 'Gmail' after starting the Wizard. You should not manually add a Gmail account via setup step 1.
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
The 4a worked with the button near the error messages.

Would it be possible to show the cert data in such cases, so I can review the certs manually. Maybe not the priority case, as not much users need this. But for me, maintaining the whole infrastructure myself it could clear things up.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will put this on my to do list, but this will not have much priority.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
FE 1.856 installed.

I have lost the connection of my gmail account.

Suddenly I had the error [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials.

When I use the gmail webmail (on PC and smartphone), no error of connection with the same crededentials.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Was this Gmail account authorized with a username/password or with the Gmail quick setup?

Please see also this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq22
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Account setting was done with username/password.

I don't use Gmail quick setup because my smartphone is not connected with a google account.

I have another gmail account in FE, no problem with it.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
All information about authorizing a Gmail account with a username/password is in this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq6

Especially with the upcoming restrictions using a username/password is not recommended.

Anyway, your best bet is an app specific password. Note that it is Google that is saying your credentials are invalid. This is not caused by FairEmail or an update of FairEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] :
This is new.

I can't get through this to screenshot the auth not found or something. All I remember is that I don't have authorization, of something
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is not really a FairEmail problem.

Please make sure you are not blocking things with a firewall, etc and that there is a working internet connection.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Was that for every Google account holder or only GSuite customers?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
For now this applies to Gsuite only, but I expect this will apply to all Gmail accounts in the end.
[Android Apps and Games] wirdSchoon:
Hi Marcel,

can you please add a function?

Under Settings / Display

Show on start screen:

Accounts (expand)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can already show accounts on the start screen, so I don't understand this feature request.

Please read this too:

I have just released

beta

version 1.857

Changelog/download:

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

This version was mainly released to fix showing images.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Installed and no more issue with connection of my gmail account......
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There was really nothing changed to authentication:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/compare/1.856...1.857

So, I guess the problem was solved in some other way or was just temporary.
[Android Apps and Games] L.F.B.:
Please, make available to my country on play Store.

It shows not available here in Brazil.?

I can only buy pro in playstore with my store credits.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will reconsider to make FairEmail available in a number of countries again, but Brazil will not be one of them due to the high number of unfair/unreasonable reviews coming from Brazil. You can use the GitHub version instead.
[Android Apps and Games] BreadedChicken:
Feature request

Hi M66B

I'm wondering if you would please consider adding the option of deleting messages only locally, while leaving them intact on their servers.

Best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] L.F.B.:
Oh, sorry about that...

Unfortunately I cant donate with PayPal.

My only way to buy pro is playstore. U can create an unlock/donation download app.

Then u dont have to worry about block any country.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
or you could think of a "creative" method of pro payment. js
[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Hey Panko Poultry :)

That's not the way IMAP works - it is designed specifically so that the state of your mail store is always fully represented on the server - that way every client sees the same state of the server - even with multiple clients viewing the server at the same time.

So - with that in mind - can you explain what your goal really is? Perhaps there is a solution consistent with IMAP.

i.e. Why precisely do you want to delete locally only? That sounds to me like a solution to some problem - so wha'ts the problem you're really trying to solve?

Maybe someone can help once its more clear what you need.

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

In case you're not aware - you don't need a paypal account to pay someone using paypal.
[Android Apps and Games] ildar_prophet:
Q: what intent (or broadcast) should I kick for force checking for new mail?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Since IMAP synchronizes two ways the deleted message would be restored locally later again, so this is not directly possible. However, you can hide message locally via the three-dots menu in the message action bar.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Sorry, but I am not going to put effort into this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is documented in this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq78
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Some people use CBT. This sounds like a hypermodern crypto currency and you might be wondering "what did I miss"? But in fact it has appeared to be a fun and reliable "creative" way to transfer money.

It means "Cash Book Transfer". Put some cash in a book and send it by mail. Does that still work? You bet!

Best thing of all: your privacy is safe!

Thanks, FE can be given 5 stars by tapping on the 5th star on this related download page:

[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
Isn't this is actually an advantage? I think so. Interestingly, if you click the 'Alternatives to FairEmail - Android App' link it takes you to Tubemate apps, so...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The design is deliberately simple and I am aware that not everybody will like it because people are different. However, IMHO it is about reading and writing of messages and not about the app. Therefore the app should be in the background and not be distracting. If you look at the design this way, you could say the design is an advantage instead of a disadvantage ...
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
I remember being surprised by the double settings menus when I initially installed the app. After that was fixed, I have not found anything jarring about the design. It works exactly as you say. When using the app, my entire focus is on the mails. App design or UI never enters my mind.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It took me quite some time to get everything at the right place, but I have got OAuth for Gmail working!

This means it will be possible to setup Gmail accounts without on-device Google accounts, which will be a solution if you don't want to configure your private/work account on your work/private device or if you simply don't trust Android with your Google account. This will be suitable for devices without Google services too.

The solution is built to be general and as a matter of fact I already asked Yahoo! for permissions to use OAuth for email a while ago. With this permission it will be a lot easier to setup Yahoo! accounts. Other providers supporting OAuth might follow later.

Hopefully, Microsoft keeps its promise and will make OAuth for IMAP available in the near future (can you believe this is not available?!). In any case OAUth for Outlook is already configured and tested to be working!
[Android Apps and Games] janjaromirhorak:
Thank you for your response. I didn't realize, that the language and time format options are so closely tied together. Is there any chance that it would be possible to use the 24 hour time format with the "Force English language" option on?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
When I saw the contact photo of my wife this morning next to a mail, I first thought "Oh, has my wife already seen the forwarded mail (and sent me an acknowledgement of receipt.) Until I noticed after a closer look that it was the original mail forwarded by me.

Other mail clients consistently show the contact photo of the *sender*, in this case mine. Then this misunderstanding could not have occurred at all.

Would this be a more sensible way for FE to also show always the contact photo of the sender instead of always showing the contact photo of the other side?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It would be possible by selecting another than the default locale, but the problem is that somebody else will want the opposite.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail should (and does for me) show the contact photo of the sender of the last message in a conversation, with the exception of the sent folder.

Can you please send me a screenshot if this is not the case?
[Android Apps and Games] Gerxp:
One more request:

When I pull down the new mail notification, it would be nice to have an option "mark as read" below the notification.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is always one more request ;)

There already should be a mark read notification action, but only for individual messages, not for the summary notification. Please double check the notification settings of FairEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
My contact photo is only shown when I open the mail. But in the unified inbox the photo of my wife (the recipient of the forwarding) is shown. Do you need screenshots for that as well?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I guess you have selected the sent messages folder to be shown in unified inbox?

The icon/name of the recipient will always be shown for outgoing messages, so this is to be expected.

There will also be a sent message icon, so you can see that it was not an incoming message.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
No, the send folder is not configured to display in the unified inbox. But when I open the message, my (sender) contact photo is displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't understand the bold text, but I am assuming you are looking to the list of sent messages.

For sent messages the contact photo and name of the recipient are show in a message list. When you expand the message the contact photo and name of the sender will be shown.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.858 1.859

Changelog/download:

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

This version adds a big new feature: authorizing Gmail/Gsuite accounts via OAuth instead of with on-device Google accounts. This feature is available as a new quick setup option "Gmail (OAuth)". Please let me know if it works correctly for you and if the accounts stays authorized.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
OAuth worked fine and account is authorized. I'll keep you posted if anything happens. Thank you for this, I can now skip my Google app password!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.860

Changelog/download:

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

This version will add a public key sent in the Autocrypt header as an attachment, so you can easily import it into the OpenKeychain app.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.861

Changelog/download:

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

The only change in this version is that Gmail OAuth was disabled.

To let Gmail OAuth work, it was necessary to include the OAuth client secret in the app. This can lead to misuse, which could result in Google revoking permission to access Gmail, also for on-device accounts. Besides that it took a lot of time and effort to get this permission, it could also result in authorizations done via on-device accounts being revoked, which I don't want to risk.

The only other option would be to route all authorization requests through a server I manage and add the client secret, but this is something I don't want to do for a variety of reasons.

I have also reset the client secret, so existing authorizations will stop working soon.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
If OAuth puts app at risk and user access to mails is also at risk, fully support this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am busy with writing an email to the Google OAuth team to ask them how to handle this.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Thanks, just noticed the token was removed. Back to app password for now. Would it be possible to put it in a closed-source library that is imported in the app? Or have the app download it from a server when accessing it. I remember topjohnwu did something like that to make Magisk FOSS.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Closed source doesn't mean the secret will be well hidden and Google might not find this an acceptable either, which is the main problem. Let's wait what the Google OAuth team says. Maybe they simply approve this use case.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is what I am intending to write Google:

I am not a native English speaker, so comments on this are welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] cobben:
"I would like to . . ."

not "I like to", which implies you have already done this several times .
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
510 days since the app was launched, 861 updates to date which translates to 1.7 releases per day

No time - off, no sickness, no anything but churning out at least an update per day, improving the app to a level beyond my imagination, answering all our queries, often same thing over and again (guilty party here).....

This fanatic developer deserves a big round of applause and some coffee too!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks, this is what I just sent:

Let's hope there will be a favorable response, so OAuth for Gmail can be enabled again.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] I was looking at the OP, and then I saw the second post. Since the content of that post has become irrelevant now, would you mind editing it to show a list of your recommended email providers (that work well with FairEmail), instead? That way, I could just link your post to anyone who asks me for recommendations.

It would also help anyone who scrolls down after reading the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Just link them to this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq112
[Android Apps and Games] cobben:
Fine.

But I still prefer my solution from last spring.

"Render unto Google that which is Googles."

I.e., I use Gmail only for "Google stuff", and only in the Gmail app.

Which means perhaps 2 emails per year or so, as long as nothing happens.

Everyone is happy, no problems.
[Android Apps and Games] apozaf:
How can I activate pro features WITHOUT google services (los, sailfish alien dalvik etc...)?

I would pay extra of course
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is not allowed to discuss purchases here (XDA rules), but install the GitHub or F-Droid version, go to the pro features screen and tap 'Buy' and it will probably be clear.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Would you say that FairEmail works great with all the providers mentioned on those two websites, except for Proton and Tutanota?

Edit: I would also consider Gmail as part of a sort of 'soft blacklist' because of all the issues Google causes.
[Android Apps and Games] Subbasebbl:
Hi there.....

Any Discounts for People who bought Netguard ?

Or x-mas Discount ? :)

Question:

Any Plans to implement GMX (Big German Mail Provider)

or do i have to edit all imaps manually ?

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The current price of FairEmail in the Play store without VAT is 7 Euro. Google takes 30% and after that the tax office takes about 50%. So, for me there remains less than 2,50 Euro. Given that just a few percent of the people purchase something and I have put about 3,000 hours into this project, this is actually much to cheap. So, there will be no discounts because FairEmail is already a bargain.

Besides that, NetGuard was a lot of work too.

There is both for gmx.com and gmx.net a profile in the latest beta version.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.862

Changelog/download:

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

This version will allow you to select the weekdays the set schedule applies too (default all days). If a schedule overlaps two days, the schedule will be adjusted when either the start or end day is disabled.

Please report any problem you find, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Phoost:
Move email to folder

Text problems in folder selection dialog when moving email to folder.

I'm sure it was good in the past.

Could be wrong setting or bug:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Why version of FairEmail are you using?

This should be fixed in the latest beta version ...
[Android Apps and Games] Phoost:
You are too fast to report bugs :)

Fix confirmed
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
In regards to OAuth, when changing from password to OAuth would user have to set up folders all over again or will import work?

Or, can it be changed from manage accounts? that would be great.

I think it is time to implement the

feature

'slow things down' you were talking about but never managed to follow through on. ;):p

FairEmail has more than any user can desire. There may be a few kinks to iron out in the new year, but some things like OAuth does not only rely only on you, but goggles too.

Enjoy the end of year, relax, take things slow, and think ahead what lies ahead on the path for the future. Maybe another new project to develop from scratch.

FairEmail has come a long way since its inception. And, it is now time to enjoy the work put into it.

Thank you for developing the best email app on android.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You cannot change from password authentication to OAuth authentication, so you'll need to setup an new account. FairEmail will synchronize your folders and messages, but maybe you'll need to change your folder settings to what you had before.

Note that Gmail OAuth via on-device accounts is still available in the quick setup, but that Gmail OAuth without on-device accounts is waiting for a response from Google.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] I'd like to report a small bug with the search feature. When selecting it from the status bar, it seems to search in unified inbox and not the folder being seen. For example, if I star a message in unified inbox and another one in unified archive, when in archive I choose to show starred messages it shows the one in inbox and not the one in archive. Same applies to any search... Returns what's in the unified inbox, not the folder I'm in (unified archive in my case).

Also, I can't say when that happened, but there is stuttering when scrolling through messages. Is it just me?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The special searches (search for starred messages, etc) will search in all folders.

I have had another complaint about stuttering, but I don't know yet which change is causing this.

I like to know if more people experience since and since when.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
I can confirm the special search only returns what's in the unified inbox. Also, if I search for " Google" in unified archive, it returns nothing and there are tons of hits. There are none in the unified inbox though which seems to be the same behavior than for special searches.
[Android Apps and Games] L.F.B.:
Finally I managed to buy Pro Fetures!

Im here to say that Im loving this mail client!

Congrats for the amazing job [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] ???

Just a request if possible: Can we have more color gamut on the color selection?

Im trying to add a color code, but it not applying, maybe is the lack of a wider gamut option.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The special search (for unread, star, hidden and encrypted) returns results for all folders for me.

Searching in the other unified folders will not work and should be disabled.

About the stutter: is this still present in the latest beta version?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.863

Changelog/download:

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

This version was mainly released to fix the stutter when scrolling message lists. This problem was caused by updating to ConstraintLayout 2.0.0-beta4, which was undone.

Please report any problem you find, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Confirming that stuttering is fixed! Thanks M66B
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
Scrolling is smoother now.

Thanks. [emoji847]
[Android Apps and Games] heisert:
Stuttering is gone. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] _strauch_:
Hello M66B,

today i had the following issues. I got an e-mail which was sent to another person to the same domain, and i was the second person in the to field:

To: second@domain.com; strauch@domain.com

From: sender@domain.com

i replied to the mail and fairmail changed my sender address from strauch@domain.com to second@domain.com. So i sent an e-mail with a wrong address. (second@domain.com). Is it a bug or a feature? Is there a setting in fairmail pro to disable the field in an new e-mail where i can change the sender mail address?

I got a message about this bug, because i signed my mails with a smime certificate. maybe fairmail should not send mails with a certificate which is not signed or not for the mail address?

Thank you for your help and your nice fairmail.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] , i would like to report no bugs , no feature requests & no going back to k-9.:cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Which version of FairEmail are you using?

Which identities do you have configured for the account?

Which identity (via) was recognized for the incoming message?

The recognized identity will be used as default sender and you cannot send from addresses where no identity is configured for.
[Android Apps and Games] _strauch_:
1. Version is 1.847

2. I configured only strauch@domain.com for the account and it is the only account in fairmail

3. In the header is the delivered-to adress domain-strauch@domain.com (it is qmail the hoster is uberspace.de) (maybe this irritate fairmail). the mail account is strauch@domain.com. The recognized identity is second@domain.com but for this adress i didnt any account.

In Fairmail i can change the part before [MENTION=548242]domain[/MENTION].com. The field is above the to: field i can make a free text input, maybe oxmox@domain.com and freemail send it with oxmox@domain.com
