The experimental function to show the dimmed icons that allow to filter more quickly the mails that doing it through the three dots menu seems to me a success. Hopefully it will become a stable option.

On the other hand it is true that the natural reading, in my case, is from left to right as in a book but, somehow, in my head has also installed the idea of reading a pile of documents up to the one above (the newest) when you move to the left ?

Thank you very much for the answer.

version 1.703

Changelog/download:

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

Besides a series of small improvements and minor bug fixes a compact mode has been added to the compose screen. On small screens the compact mode was being enabled automatically by previous versions. This has been removed and replaced by a setting in the three-dots overflow menu, so it can be used on larger screens too.

As usual, please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.

version 1.704

Changelog/download:

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

This version improves recognition of tracking images by skipping images that load from the same domain name as other, not tracking images. This would not be useful anyway because other images will be loaded from the same domain name anyway. However, this will be especially useful for small images that for example represent a line, which are now often incorrectly recognized as a tracking image.

This is a release candidate for the next stable release, so this is a good moment to update the translation in your language.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.

Everyone is different :cool:

So I suppose the metaphor could mean different things to different people:

more stuff on right of a document - so move document to left to reveal it

pages of a book - turn to next page - so move to left.

go to next document from pile of documents - my inbox is on left and outbox on right ... lol .. but yours could be other way round.

IMHO FairEmail is pretty finished, although I understand there is always something left to be desired or some odd edge case to fix. You can count on FairEmail being maintained and supported, also because I am a big fan of FairEmail myself ;)

FairEmail looks beautifully to me and saves me a lot of work handling emails. I didn't expect that, but I seem to like to grey dark theme more than the black theme. How about you?

If you are happy with FairEmail, please spread the word because the number of people using FairEmail is still low.
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
Grey dark is a pure marvel :)
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Exactly the same for me. I always prefer the colored themes in all my apps but the grey dark theme is my favorite in FairEmail and the one I now use. Great work.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Very very much in agreement - you've made a truly fine email app.

We should all find ways to spread the word how good FE really is.

Thank you Marcel, for all the work you've put in and for being open to others thoughts and suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The unread highlight color is the same as the accent color of the selected theme. In the case of the grey theme that is blue grey. Besides that it would be inconsistent to make an exception for one theme, I personally like it this way.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I like to remark that I am both listening and being stubborn at times too. The reason for this is to prevent feature creep. So, don't be disappointed if I occasionally say "no" and don't be surprised that I change my mind later after giving things some more thought. It also happens that the requested feature later appears in some another form. Just see it as a kind of adventure.
[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Definitely a healthy approach - challenge and discussion will always lead to a better outcome.
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
I'll take this opportunity to ask, "Can you add feature for user to modify apps colors? Background, text, highlights, et al.?" This would have the effect of being able to reduce the number of built-in themes to, perhaps, three—say, Black, Light, and Grey. Color preference is such a personal choice. Even though I don't have vision problems, changing an apps colors to suit my tastes is one of the first things I do. Considering how many 'system/app theming' solutions there are, I would think that many others are like me.

And from an eyesight/accessibility viewpoint, color manipulation is a necessity for some.

Anyways, that's my request...and 2 cents.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Basically, Android supports only fixed themes. A workaround would be to set a color for every little element, but this is basically not maintainable. Therefore I like to keep it as it is.

stable

version 1.709

Changelog/download:

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

I didn't plan to release another version today, but I just figured out why drafts were occasionally closing.
[Android Apps and Games] BackToAndroid:
Woah!! That's like 9-10th release within 24 hours. Great job on that Marcel doing amazing job!!

Does each and every code change or commit gates converted into a new release? I'm aware all these releases are alpha or beta but still how much testing is done before the release? And how often or which releases should I install to have least bugs?
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
What about just background and font color?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I test each and every change, so mostly there won't be any problem. However, I am not perfect and FairEmail isn't a trivial app, so I can always have overlooked something, like an edge case or a race condition.

The labels alpha, beta and stable signify how much risk there is in my (subjective) opinion. If email is vital to you, stick to stable or beta versions. If you are an early adapter, you can also consider to install alpha releases, but be sure to read the changelog, so you know what to expect.

A reason why there are many versions is that I prefer to release smaller sets of changes, which make it easier to find problems or regressions. There are currently over 7,500 commits (changes), which is about 20 changes per day over the lifespan of the project. If these changes would be accumulated to a release once a week, there would be about 150 changes.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The font color has to be set on each and every text, so this is not really an option.

I don't think it will be very useful to set custom background colors because the background color is normally something neutral like whitish, grayish or blackish.
[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Many of test as well - and so coverage is pretty decent it seems to me.

Also as a HUG fan of rolling release model - I fully endorse the small incremental change approach as far far and away superior to the ancient major changes approach.

It works well for OS and it works well for apps too ...

Hi,

I move periodically my sent mail from the sent mail folder to an archive contains all my old sent mail.

In the default sent mail folder all mails are displayed with To: adresses. But after moving all this sent mails to my archive, all old sent mail are then displayed with From: address (default for all other folders). From Adress is my address!

Is there a way to see the To: addresses instead the From: address while in a folder list?

Cannot find a setting in the "edit properties" of the folder.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
'From you' seems correct to me if you sent the message.

There is special logic to display the 'to' address in the sent folder, but not in other folders. I could add yet another option, but it seems to me that those messages are not really important anymore because they were archived.
[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Would the Special treatment also apply to any subfolders of the Sent folder?

If so, perhaps you can archive them in sub-folders y year or whatever.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That would be an idea, so I will look if I can implement this.
[Android Apps and Games] jaholm:
Good idea!

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

I totally disagree. I sent (checked this just now) round about 130 qualified answers to requests sent to me. Most of the time I cannot rember if I what I am answered months ago. So, documentation is important if there are questions from others about some things.
[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Another option might be to treat "Archives/Sent" similar to "Sent" ... as "Archives" is another of those IMAP special folders (Sent, Inbox, Drafts, Templates, Archives).

Just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
In several of my mail accounts my Draft folder contains a sub folder named Hold. Currently when FairEmail saves a draft message it puts it in the Hold subfolder.

How do I make FairEmail put drafts in the parent Draft folder instead of the subfolder?
[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Can you double check the "Drafts" folder is correctly set for that account

(Settings -> Manage account -> (account) -> Drafts.

Can you confirm it points to parent Drafts folder?

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

You completely lost me - I believe you may be asking questions about a chinese scooter company on an forum about Fair Email (which is the best email app by the way!)

But that said - assume you have some app of some sort - so go to settings -> Apps and Notifications -> Notifications. Type the app name at top then adjust notification settings.

I suggest before you do that you switch your email app to FairEmail ...
[Android Apps and Games] BackToAndroid:
How do I add Signature block to all the New/Reply and forward emails, a block of text automatically appended at the bottom of an email message.
[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Fair Email is pretty cool - it has "Identities" - you can have as many as you need - each identity also has its own signature.

Identity "identifies" you when you send email.

Assuming you've set up an identity - you must create at least one identity in order to send mail.

Settings-> Set up Identities (Press Manage) -> Select Identity

Look for 'signature text' ... You can edit the signature as pure text or html.
[Android Apps and Games] BackToAndroid:
I have noticed many people discussion about Identities and how awesome it. But I seriously have no clue what it is and what role does it play. I have three different accounts added in FairEmail (Gmail/Live and GMX) so does each account act as one identity?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This setting is available on Xiaomi devices in the latest version only and you can find it at the bottom of the notification settings.
[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Correct - Each account must have at least one identity in order to send mail.

You can optionally have more than one - for example if you get email in a single account say for user@foo.com and also for webmaster@foo.com - but both these emails land in the same inbox (often happens especially with "system" accounts.

In that example, you may want to have 2 identities - one to send email as user@foo.com and a second so you can also send mail as webmaster@foo.com

Hope that helps.

If I'm scrolling through my messages while Fair Email is syncing, it will take me back to the top of the messages without me doing anything, which is disruptive if I've scrolled down several pages looking for a specific email or something.

GPG Sign mails

Is GPG signing of mails (not encrypting perse) supported as well? I can't seem to find the feature anywhere. If not, consider this a feature request.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Just send a message using the send dialog (this will by default be shown unless you disabled it, else use the three-dots overflow menu 'Send ...') and select to encrypt the message. The message will be encrypted and signed.

If you mean signed only messages, this is not supported and will not be supported, please see here about why not:

I haven't noticed until now because I mostly use the sliding option to move between messages but I just realized that when you activate the option to reverse the sliding action between messages (to go to the newest or oldest) the arrows below still behave in the traditional way.

Could it be possible that when using the option to reverse the sliding the arrows inherited that behavior?

Thank you very much!

[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Not suggesting any change here, but just a sharing a thought, as I think authentication and privacy are very important topics - and of course FE is a strong advocate of same.

I'm kind of in agreement with the comments on signing as they apply to typical email communications; however there are certainly cases for which authentication holds some special importance, as the author of those articles points out.

E.g. the Linux kernel release emails from Greg Kroah-Hartman - these are signed and not encrypted. While the keys are on keyservers, of which I am not a fan, they are available to be checked [1]

Author asks if a signature was missing would you react? Actually yes - quite fervently in this case when it did happen, when Greg's protege did a stable kernel release without a valid signature for kernel.org or linuxfoundation.org.

There are other authentication scenarios which are not about email, at least today - signing a document for example. An instruction to buy or sell shares - often the banks processes require an email as well as a phone call to confirm - a signed email would actually work, but it is not a part of most if not all processes I am aware of (I know that industry very well). It may happen one day, but its not even close today. Even though the email clients that are used (typically Outlook) can show that the email has a valid signature from the client.

His primary argument, is that the ability to sign comes at a cost - programming complexity and risk associated with it. And for cases like those above, where authentication is important but privacy is not, signing may well make sense. In many, perhaps all, cases it also probably makes sense to use a desktop client rather than a phone to achieve this.

Thank you Marcel for creating the best damn email client bar none!!

ALPHA

version 1.710

Changelog/download:

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

Message added, changed and removed push notifications from the server are now queued as fetch and deleted operations and sent messages are checked with an exists operation. This is a significant change from how this previously worked and therefore this version is labeled as an ALPHA version. As usual, I have done quite some testing, but I cannot guarantee that everything just works as before. However, these changes fix some race conditions and will improve general stability.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.

Hi,

may be I'm blind, but I didn't find any option to switch the date separators on. I have no, and I cannot remember when they are gone.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:

Did you check the account status in Setup > Manage accounts? Is it connected?

Did you make sure the number of days to synchronizing a folder is appropriately set?
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Screenshots provided, as is.

Also, have not changed any days they are all default:

Having synchronize set, then removing sync on all folders seems to be the culprit, I am guessing.

In manage account I am getting the disconnected icon beside it:

It stopped working when I unchecked synchronize in each folder.

Synchronize still checked in account setup.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You'll have to fix the account connection first.

Not the case. There is no back off in log. And it would not take more than an hour to back off, if so.

As shown. [No logs in between]

App stopped responding to connections when I removed sync on folders.

Only after FC app did it start to work again.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There doesn't need to be a back-off log entry, which is in fact only a good sign.

Note that when switching from mobile to Wi-Fi you will see a network coming available (the Wi-Fi network) and 30-60 seconds later a network with another number will be lost (the mobile network). This means that network lost doesn't necessary mean there is no internet connectivity anymore. As a side note: there are lots of these kind of details that make developing an app like this not trivial.

I know it's difficult to satisfy everybody, but i preferred the previous managing (no choice, long press = read/unread) :angel:
