Identity for external drafts is fixed, thanks!

EDIT : By the way, constraintlayout rc1 still seems to be broken. It seems weird that it doesn't get more complaints at this point since it's been broken for a very long time now. Maybe something needs to be fixed within FairEmail? I have noticed that lifecycle has been updated too but not merged in FairEmail. Any reason why?

No worries, I'm merely trying to understand how all of this works :)
[Android Apps and Games] womefa:
I'm probably doing something wrong, but I'm on version 1.1277 now but it's still not working.

Is there anything else I have to do? Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
A while ago I have been looking into the ConstraintLayout issue and it appears to be a problem with measuring. If some fields are set to fixed width the slowness is gone. This is not an app problem, but caused by Google rushing in motion layouts and as usual not fixing existing bugs first.

There is now new version of lifecycle extensions. The latest version of lifecycle is pulled in by core.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will double check this later.

FairEmail 1.1277 in android pie.

I have a problem with saving templates. I noticed that one of my templates suddenly had 2 extra blank lines after the last line. So I went to templates, deleted the extra lines, and saved it. Going back to check I found the changes were not saved. Happens repeatedly. Tried several ways to delete them but the extra blank line obstinately return.

Other template changes are saved correctly. But removal of terminal blank lines is ignored. Not sure how they appeared in the first place.

Edit: i have since discovered that several other old templates have also developed 2 blank lines after their last lines.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
I've been looking a bit on how to have an undo snackbar for sent messages because I really feel that would be a nice addition to the app. I stumbled upon this stackoverflow:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-make-snackbar-persist-among-activity-changes

I guess starting the activitycompose with startActivityForResult from the activityview could allow for a snackbar? Not sure I understand all of it, but I'm sure it will ring a bell on your side. I'm willing to send a few bucks your way if you add this in.

Thanks for considering my request!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You have found another of one of the many limitations of the Android text editor. I will look if I can find a workaround for this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is still on my to do list, but it is not the only thing ...
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thank you.

If it helps, this only started happening in the last couple of weeks. Before that there were no additional blank lines. So it's a recent problem caused by some recent change.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am pretty sure this is not the case.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=6910712]maybeme2[/MENTION] it is caused by a change after all, but not a recent change.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Could you include "high contrast text for message header" under display settings, please? Some folks like me still prefer to read with black text and white background.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will put this on my to-do list, but it will be low priority.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The solution on StackOverflow has two problems:

It doesn't work on recent Android versions anymore

It requires another activity

So, this ain't gonna work.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released version 1.1278

[MENTION=10974187]ichnisan[/MENTION] can you please check again how the tracking images message looks like now?

[MENTION=6910712]maybeme2[/MENTION] there should be no more extra new line at the end of a message

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

But the two blank lines after each template text are still there, right?

Great App

Thanks for the great APP [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]! I have installed it via F-Droid and ever since it appears the note at my phone that "1 account is being monitored". What does this mean? - Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Can you please tell me how you use templates? Do you create a new message from a template (long press on the template name), reply with a template or insert it in the message composer?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq2
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Most of the time I use them for writing (longpress), but I meant only when defining a template are also after removing the two empty lines and save them back there the next time I open the template.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
The 2 blank lines are still there.

They are in the template itself.

I mean, when I noticed this starting to happen, I

1. went to where the templates are saved

2. Clicked on the template to edit it

3. Deleted the 2 blank lines

4. Clicked on Save to save the template.

When I view the template again, the blank lines are back, in the template itself.

If I make any changes in the text in the middle of the template and save, those changes are saved in the template. But the deletion of the two terminal blank lines is not saved.

Following your remarks I noticed that you are correct (of course) about the android editor. If I write something in the compose screen of an email and save it, android also adds 2 extra blank lines at the end of the message I wrote and saved.

But I had not previously noticed that 2 blank lines were added to the template itself in the template editing screen.

In any case, it is not a major problem since it occurs at the end of the text. Just a minor nuisance. I do not recall it happening when I use templates till 2-3 weeks ago.

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

As a test, I went to an excellent note taking app I use on the same phone: NoteCase Pro. I typed something in it and saved it. No extra lines were added. Same android phone but perhaps the programmer uses a different editor. I don't know.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=7350063]fraschi51[/MENTION] [MENTION=6910712]maybeme2[/MENTION] the "b" version should fix the extra newlines in templates (and signature):

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/releases
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Thanks for looking into it. It's too bad... but I can't believing there is no way to achieve that. I understand it might not be worth the trouble though, so it's alright.

Also, in my research I found this page from Google regarding snackbar. https://developer.android.com/training/snackbar/showing

It seems that using a CoordinatorLayout automatically adjust the bottom margin for FAB and the snackbar can be dismissed. No idea if that's possible for FairEmail, but it would be nice. I thought I would mention it in case you didn't know.

Thanks for you continued development and support.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Snackbars already work like this in FairEmail (and more advanced).

The problem is that a Snackbar should go somewhere, but when the compose activity is closed there is not always something a Snackbar can be attached too.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
It did!

You're a genius. (But we already knew that!)

Thanks Marcel. Sorry for the extra work.

Great app.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Can we see the 'b'-Version in the about-dialog?
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I have the b version installed. The 'b' does not appear in the about dialog.

Does not matter to me.

It works and solves the extra blank lines.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Thank you, maybeme2, for your answer, but sorry, here I can't save a template without the two empty lines - even not with V 1.1279.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

If there is a blank line in the template, that means more then one paragraph, it dosn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] I think I have found a bug in the bottom_navigation bar. When using the next/previous button in the archive folder, it goes back to the unified view when the next or previous message is an sent message from Gmail (sent messages are also in the archive folder for Gmail). Can you take a look?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] Can you please double check if this fixes the issue?

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/commit/0bff5014af6ee9fa64ea00fd166c40cd9e0a49e6
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Yes, it's fixed! Guiness world record of fastest fix :)

EDIT: No idea why, but now the subtitle of those messages (archived/sent messages) is null. If I open the message directly from the unified view, it shows the email account (Gmail). Any insight [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]?
[Android Apps and Games] ichnisan:
Thank you for the info! Ich will check as soon as I see the update on Google Play.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The Play store update should already be available world wide.
[Android Apps and Games] ichnisan:
I just updated and checked with one of the messages I took a screenshot before.

The message after pressing the "show original message" now looks perfectly. (Only the original message; no red tracking icons anymore.)

But also before I press the button, the tracking icons for the included tracking images are not shown anymore. Is this right that the icons are completely gone and that tracking is not indicated anymore (for all mails)?

(I checked with various mails which had the tracking icons before and where I did not press "show original message". The setting to disable tracking images is still set.)
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
You are correct.

Marcel, the correction that worked in 1.1278b no longer works in 1.1279.

In 1.1279 the extra blank lines are back again.

The 1.1278b apk will also not install over 1.1279.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
The two empty lines at the end of a template (here with an included empty line) I could not permanently remove with V 1.1278b, nor with V 1.1279. (Unfortunately I could not see if the b-version was installed correctly here).

But it's been a fact for quite a while now that you can't install an older app version over a newer one - on the part of Android.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I can't reproduce this problem. If I create a new template with just one word (no new line), save it and open it again it will be a word with one newline, which it should be. What am I missing?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This will be okay and there will be messages with one or more tracking images, I did test this with a few spam messages.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
As said, with a template with only one paragraph it works. But if you create a template with more then one paragraph you have the two empty lines on the end which are not deletable.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Understood. This will be fixed in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] womefa:
Seems to be working again (1.1279) :svetius: Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Kockowan:
Hello,

FairEmail is configured for three different mail accounts.

While receiving all new mails from all accounts manually (wipe down), every mail is welcomed by a notification sound. If there are several mails, phone is playing long time...

Is it configurable only first new incoming mail triggers a sound notification, following new mails in this request are opened without sound?

Thx and best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail bundles new message notifications by sync operations and Android *should* play a notification sound once for a bundle only.
[Android Apps and Games] Kockowan:
Hmmm, thank you. Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with newest Samsung firmware (Android 8.0.0 from 01.03.2020) does play multiple notifications, one for every incoming mail...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Did you enable to show a summary notification only in the notification settings of FairEmail?
[Android Apps and Games] Kockowan:
Settings are shown in following screenshot. Are there more options?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
The screenshot is not the settings of FairEmail - there are many more options.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
On Android 8 and later an app cannot control the notification properties (sound, light, etc) of individual notifications anymore. Related FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq21

What you can do is enable the notification option 'Show notifications when in the background only'.
[Android Apps and Games] Kockowan:
Ok, for me problem could be solved with activating "Nur zusammenfassende Benachrichtigung anzeigen" in FairEmail/settings/notifications (upper option in attached screenshot).

Maybe option's explaination could be extended from "anzeigen" only to "anzeigen + hören" :confused:

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That's another option.

The title should not be changed though because there are more properties than sound only.
[Android Apps and Games] Kockowan:
In German "anzeigen" only implements readable notifications only, so I initially did misunderstood this option. Hearable notifications are covered too, so maybe "aktivieren" instead of "anzeigen" might be better description?

Best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The best would be 'issue', but I am afraid that not everybody would understand this. Are there any other suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Here every displayed notification is even read out to me - if I have set it accordingly. The trigger for all other actions is always the display, without display there is no sound or no reading aloud. Therefore I find 'display' to be ok.
[Android Apps and Games] Kockowan:
Is it possible to convert a donated Github version to a FDroid- version for automatic update purposes?

Thx...
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Maybe it's easier to call it generally just

'summarize notifications' ('Benachrichtigungen zusammenfassen')

?
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Marcel, a small suggestion while attaching files. A toast like "attached", or something would be good as a confirmation.

Right now, files do get attached fine but a feedback would help
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I would find this annoying and I guess I will not be alone in this.

You can already see all added attachments, so IMHO this would not add much either.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released version 1.1280 Phyllodon

[Android Apps and Games] Kockowan:
Another newbie question:

There are three independent mail accounts configured and only manually polling (wipe down in common in-box, settings 'activated' and 'manual sync') is done for new incoming emails.

How to exclude one of those accounts from being requested, while the other two accounts shall be polled?

Thanks...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You'll need to remove the inboxes you don't want to synchronize from the unified inbox (long press the inbox in the folder list of the account).

Maybe you want to change your startup screen in the display settings to show folders instead of messages.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Works fine. No blank lines.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released version 1.1281

Changelog/download:

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

This version will execute operations faster and will remove small images (width or height 5 pixels or smaller) from reformatted messages. This will reduce the number of image placeholder for messages containing a lot of spacer, lines, etc.

Please report any issue you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Ok. My wife has a problem with her email and keeps getting the message "Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections=30)". Probably because she has Fairemail on her tablet and phone. Two things: 1) what can be "tweaked" on either/both devices to minimise the amount of times this error pops up and 2) from what I've read the "mail_max_userip_connections" is a server side setting so I'd have to contact my email provider to increase it. Correct?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq23
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Read that but it still doesn't answer 2 .... Ta.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You'll either need to reduce the number of folder connections by setting some folders to polling or to contact your provider to increase the limit.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Ok. That confirms what I thought. But on checking she only has her 'inbox' set to sync, no others - on both devices though. Would that really be a problem?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is not very likely that only the inbox is set to synchronizing, please double check.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Doh! My bad. I checked her phone before I read your comment (her phone is her secondary device) and for some reason that was set to sync several folders whereas the tablet was set to sync just the Inbox. Now sorted so hopefully all will be well. Sorry for the hassle but sometimes it takes verbalising the problem before you see the obvious. I work in a supermarket and it's amazing how many customers walk around the whole shop looking for something and as soon as they ask a member of staff where that item is it turns out to be right next to them ..... :D

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version of FairEmail will show attached EML files inline.

To make sure everything works properly, I would like a few people to test this.

If you are interested, please contact me via here: https://contact.faircode.eu/?product=fairemailsupport
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
It seems to be working, but what did you want us to check exactly?

Also, it saves the attached mail attachments in the former mail attachments. It seems confusing to me, why this change? I would rather let the attachments of the attached message there and see them when you open the EML (on a side note, the attachments size didn't match).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks for testing. I have just committed another change related to this.

Showing the text of the attached (EML) messages inline saves you from opening the EML attachments. Some newsletters are based on sending a series of EML files, for which is this rather convenient.

I am in doubt if the attachments of the attached EML messages should be included. An alternative solution would be to show "xxx attachments" in the header of the attached message. Another solution would be to mark the attachments as "embedded".

Edit: there is a good reason to process the attachments of attached messages: images.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Yeah, you're right. Maybe they could be differentiated from the real attachments of the message? Maybe indented under the eml file?

Also, I noticed that the eml file had no name. Maybe the subject of the message could be used? That would make sense, right?

EDIT: other idea, maybe the embedded message could be shown at the end of the original message in a new layout stating clearly that it's the embedded messages (now it's there but hard to tell that's it's indeed the embedded message). Its attachments could be shown in this new layout too.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I understand the idea, but considering performance and complexity it is better not done this way. We can work on the layout though. There are already separator lines, but maybe separation needs to be more prominent. Ideas are welcome.

Can you please try this commit?

[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
That's a good compromise for the attachments. How about changing the title of the eml file?

Also, I haven't seen any change to the separator. Maybe just add a title "Embedded message" or something.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released version 1.1282

Changelog/download:

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

This version adds inline viewing of attached raw message files, including contained attachments.

[MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] I don't think it is a good idea to use the subject as a filename. It can be confusing and lead to problems.

Please report any issue you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
I think it's what MS Outlook does? Anyway, that's not a big deal.

Also, attachment sizes are still not the same between the eml file and the downloaded attachments. Can you reproduce this? I'm afk now so I'm not all the way up to date, maybe that has been fixed in a recent commit.

Thanks for your continued support!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The attachments sizes in the EML viewer are estimated sizes and the attachment sizes in the message are the real, decoded file sizes.
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
What is the setting (may be something new after Version 1.1279) so that opening a message shows it in full screen, vice showing it along with inbox (the list of messages in the inbox above it)?

I've reverted back to Version 1.1279 for now, but will reinstall latest version if a screenshot is needed for demonstration purposes.

Thank you
