Version 1.1618 is available on GitHub now.

Changelog/download:

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

There is a new receive option (default disabled) to check if the domain name of the from / reply-to addresses is on a spam block list (for now Spamhaus/zen only). If this is the case, there will be a little warning flag in the message header (the same as for message authentication problems, etc).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will check the block list of spamcop too (if checking block lists is enabled of course).

Thanks for your answer!

Tried, but is not what I'm looking for....

Is it not possible to limit the list of folders only to the main ones (exactly those listed for the "unified" account)?

If I open an email from a notification and press back, I would like to open the inbox folder of the account associated with the email just read and not the list of folders, this regardless of whether the email just opened is actually contained in the Inbox folder .

The quick link in the navigation menu is not the solution for me.

In other words, I would like the app to be "Inbox-driven": the mail clients I've used so far (on PC and smartphone) all work in this way ...

However I understand that there are choices in every app that favor certain aspects over others and I do not expect FairEmail to adapt to my needs, especially if no other user has the same point of view.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail is "Inbox-driven" too. When you open a message from a notification and tap back, you'll land in the unified inbox (unless you changed the start screen).

I think that it is logical to go from an out of band opened message (not from navigating within the app) to the start screen on back.

Putting the inbox in between the unified inbox and the message opened from a notification would be possible, but I am pretty sure most other people will not like this extra navigation step.

Moreover, a conversation is being opened, not a message. The notified message might not be the last message of the conversation and the last message might not be in the inbox (for example in the sent message folder). Also, more messages might arrive in the conversation while it is being viewed.
[Android Apps and Games] carpler:
FairEmail is "unified-inbox-driven", but I'm not used to this way of things...

I have 6 email accounts and all together in the same inbox is a little bit confusing...

However I understand your point of view. I'll test FairEmail a little more to see if I can get used to this new mode, otherwise I'll stick with my current client on Android.

Thanks so much for the replies!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Maybe it is an option to remove some of the inboxes from the unified inbox. You can do this by long pressing an inbox in the folder list of an account.

Did you try unified folders as start screen?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Not, if you use the color-stripe for differencing them.
[Android Apps and Games] carpler:
Yes, I think that is set as default...
[Android Apps and Games] carpler:
Mmmm, not tested yet. Thanks for suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The default start screen is unified messages. You can also show unified folders or accounts on the start screen via the display options.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Version 1.1619 is available on GitHub now and in the Play store test program after Google's approval.

Changelog/download:

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

It is possible now to enable using spam block lists in the report spam dialog (tap on the little warning triangle just above the message text).
[Android Apps and Games] mkasimd:
The color-stripes are indeed very useful. But it's a little hidden feature IMO as one has to go through each account (and possibly identity too) and set up a specific color for each of them manually. It's also a hassle as in not as user-friendly as it could be.

So I'd like to put a suggestion in the room and see the resonance whether it's desired or not.

There are multiple pre-configured providers already. So how about adding one new parameter to each pre-configured provider: a color matching the provider's brand or logo. For instance, red (#ea4335) for GMail, blue (#1c449b) for GMX, blue (#0067b8) for Outlook/Hotmail, purple (#720e9e) for Yahoo, magenta (#e20074) for T-Online, blue (#003d8f) for 1&1/IONOS, blue (#0060a3) for AOL, bordeaux (#50162d) for Disroot, etc. to name examples for some common providers.

This would provide a great default color for each newly created account and identity.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
What about the thousands of other providers and private email servers?
[Android Apps and Games] mkasimd:
The last part of the question is very simple to answer: private email servers and custom domains are not added into the pre-configured providers list and won't receive any pre-set color as such. Nobody can expect you to guess what color the domain owner or app-user had in his or her mind, except maybe for professional services that already have a logo, color scheme and brand color available.

As for the multiple other providers: if they are already included in your list of providers, they should receive a color over time, but starting with the most common ones to satisfy most consumers in one go

Of course, you won't have to enter all colors in one go, but can start with the most common 10 - 20 providers at first and slowly work towards giving all pre-configured providers a color. It is not uncommon to scale things in a way to satisfy as many consumers as possible if one cannot satisfy everyone (yet). And obviously, you cannot add each and every provider there is in one go; some of which you don't even know yet.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The other problem is that there will always be somebody unhappy with the default colors.

How about making setting account colors easier by adding a menu item to the long press menu of the account list?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
You only need this feature once in your life with FairEmail - if you set all the other properties per account anyway.

Personally, I wouldn't like the predefined colours you suggested anyway, so I would have to enter this dialogue anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] mkasimd:
Well, you both have a point, @fraschi51 & @M66B. The main issue probably is the amount of steps it takes to set a color preference. Here some screenshots to show how hidden the feature looks out of user-perspective.

Wizard -> select provider (e.g. other provider) -> enter credentials -> edit account -> select color.

Instead, the color could be asked right below the credentials, saving several steps as well as increasing the visibility of the feature. Then providing default colors are not necessary as well. Also, that same color should be set for both the account and identity then.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That won't be nice for people who need a few tries to setup an account.

Generally, the setup account procedure should be as simple as possible.

It isn't every day you'll be setting up an account!
[Android Apps and Games] mkasimd:
I think you misunderstood what I meant with my latest suggestion, so let me rephrase.

I don't mean the color selection should be moved away from the account settings, but that it should be additionally within the account creation (adding new account through the wizard) screen. As both colors and account creation are one-time operations for each account added, it is pretty okay to show it within the account creation screen as well.

But that would not change anything within the "edit account" or "edit identity" settings. Those parts would remain as is. The colors can still be changed or modified there. Only the wizard screen would change with one addition. Here an example what it could look like

This way, the feature is highly visible and also takes alot less steps to configure.

Edit: As for trying several times to set up an account.. The most common reason would be if the username or password were incorrect. For as long as the set color does not change each time one presses on "prüfen" but remains so even if one changes the username/password entries above, it should be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't think this is a good idea. IMHO the quick setup wizard should be as simple as possible.

The color and other account properties can optionally be configured after successfully configuring the account.
[Android Apps and Games] mwwea:
Isn't it a PRO feature anyway?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, since it is not essential to protect your privacy and because it is mostly a convenience feature. See here for a complete list of pro features:

[Android Apps and Games] Nepo_CZ:
Hi, firstly thanks for the great app, using it for a few days, but really like it so far.

I have one small issue with it though, regarding email folders. I have 3 different email accounts (same provider, but should not matter really) and the "aggregated" inbox/drafts/sent/bin/spam/archive folders (in area (1) in screenshot) work great, exactly as expected. But I would like to have an additional folder (e.g. newsletters) there. As you can see, I was only able to map those folders for each account separately into area (2), but I cant aggregate them into one folder for all accounts. Is this somehow possible? Or would it be hard to implement? Anyone with the same use-case?

A possible workaround for this would be to "map" these to one of the preset folders I dont use (in my case "archive") and then it would behave the same. Only issue is, I believe you cant change the name of the preset folder and you have a fixed/limited amount of such folders.

Any help is appreciated and big thanks for the effort spent making the app
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There are unified system folders only. Your use case is rather unusual.

You can change the display name in the folder properties to distinguish the folders (long press the folder in the folder list, edit properties).

You could use a filter rule to move the message into a single folder. Please see this FAQ about filter rules:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq71
[Android Apps and Games] Nepo_CZ:
Ok, I think the filters are the way to go here, thanks for the suggestion. Just a small question though - (how) would this work for emails from different accounts? Is the "move" done only localy, or does it do any changes in the server as well? Sorry, but I was unable to find any info on this in the docs.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Hi, where can I find the report spam dialog?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Marcel wrote that in brackets.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The messages will be moved from account to account, even if the accounts are on different servers.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The report spam dialog will be opened if you tap on the little warning triangle just above the message text.
[Android Apps and Games] carpler:
A stupid little question.

How to hide this notification?

I looked in the settings, but I didn't understand how to do it ...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Just tap on the third button in the notification settings of the app and disable the Android notification channel.
[Android Apps and Games] carpler:
Thank you!

I apologize, I only read after writing FAQ 2 and I understand why there is that permanent notification.

I also saw how to disable it (in the Notifications Settings disable the Receive Channel), but I did not understand if in this way there's a risk that Android closes FariEmail and you lose notifications in real time of incoming messages.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can disable the channel safely. This will disable the notification only.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Then I haven't understand the feature. I thought it's a list and incoming mails are checker against that list whether they are spam or not.

You wrote:

It is possible now to enable using spam block lists in the report spam dialog (tap on the little warning triangle just above the message text).

Why should I enable a block list in a dialog of a spam mail?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see this FAQ about how block lists work:

FairEmail/FAQ.md at master · M66B/FairEmail

Fully featured, open source, privacy friendly email app for Android - M66B/FairEmail

github.com

The report spam dialog is IMHO the logical place to say "I don't want more spam".
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Exactly, it's a list to block something. I would assume that I can enable such a list BEFORE I get spam. But your implementation let it look like that I have to receive one spam mail first. This means I can enable it AFTER I receive spam. This concept is weird in my opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] Hitti2:
this app is awesome. marcel is very supportive n helpful. we spoke through email to help me and very nice, thumbs up 👍. purchased pro to support him n development.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
He is the best
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
You can activate the feature in the settings beforehand. The switch has ALSO been added to the spam dialogue as an additional comfort option.
[Android Apps and Games] Hitti2:
Hey guys, how do i make crossed out icon be just cloud icon?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You asked this question by email too and I already answered it.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
And where is this switch in the settings? I would assume in the data protection tab but it is not
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Your question is exactly why the setting is in the report spam dialog.

You'll find the block list setting in the receive settings.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
One can also simply let the machine search for 'blocklist' in the settings, then one will find the option immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] Hitti2:
Yup you did but i posted 9:30pm and you replied email 12:59 am. 😉
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I hope I am allowed to sleep a few hours a day ...
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
@M66B, just an improvement idea. If I understand correctly, the blocklist option will leave the message in the inbox but add a flag to it, right? How about auto-moving it to spam with the classified icon, showing it was moved by FairEmail?
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Do you really sleep Marcel?;)
[Android Apps and Games] Hitti2:
I was just pointing out the times. Not demanding you to be up 24 hours. I asked here because this is a support forum with knowledgeable members 😉
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No worries, it wasn't a serious remark.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Gravatar support wil be removed from the Play store version of the app in the next release. According to Google there is no privacy policy for the Play store listing and in the app, which is non sense, but I am not going to argue with Google about this because none of my earlier arguments with Google were taken seriously.

Moreover, Gravatar support is disabled by default and includes a clear privacy warning.
[Android Apps and Games] carpler:
I make some requests on some features that I would like to be present in FairEmail: maybe they already are there and I don't know how to set them!

1) To select one or more messages, I must use long pressure for the first message and then a single tap for other messages. Would it be possible to introduce a sort of quick selection by tapping on the icon to the left of the message?

2) When one or more messages are selected, this button / menu is activated:

From this I can access the possible actions that can be applied to the selected messages. Would it be possible to introduce a bar with 2 or 3 actions similar to this one?

A sort of "quick action bar"...

It would be nice if the actions in the bar were user configurable.

This would allow you to apply actions quickly "saving" a tap ...

Thanks for your attention.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Tapping the contact icon already navigates to the contact info (if available). Also, multiple selection works generally this way, which is what people are used to.

A navigation bar would take space from the messages list, which I think is not nice of you are selecting multiple messages. Moreover, the possible actions depend on the selected messages (folder, accounts, etc) and this can't be evaluated in real-time because this would could cause stuttering, which is why this is done on tapping the action button only.
[Android Apps and Games] carpler:
The "quick action bar" should only appear after selecting one or more messages (just like with the current button).

Also, if the bar were to hide an element, the list would still remain scrollable, as it currently is.

Finally the bar that I showed in my previous post (which is the one that FairEmail displays in a message) in my mobile is very thin and does not take up much space.

My request was for the messages list in one folder, not all other lists.

The actions I have in mind (move to trash, mark as read, ...) should be applicable to all selected messages...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Move to trash is available only when there is a trash folder. The POP3 protocol can access the inbox only for example. The folder you are in determines the actions too. Generally, this is not as simple as you might think.

tl;d;r there are good reasons why it is like it is. In fact, changing this would mean removing features.

Besides that, the the navigation bar would take vertical space as already explained.

Love the screen lighting up feature
[Android Apps and Games] Ghy61:
Hello,

I am a new and unterested user of fairemail - thanks for this great open source app.

I use posteo.net as an email provider. I met an issue with from the app sent emails. They do not appear in the sent folder, nor elsewhere. Actually I have no sent message stored.

There is no issue with from the website or from Thunderbird sent email : they do appear in sent folder.

I did not find any setting to choose the folder for sent email, or any clue to a solution.

Could you please give a hand ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please make sure the right sent messages folder is selected in the account settings (via manual setup in the main setup screen).

By default FairEmail uses the folder marked as sent messages folder by the email server. but some apps create their own sent messages folder, which is in fact a user folder and not a system folder. IMHO an app should never attempt to create a system folder and always use the existing folders.

Be aware of 'Sent' and 'Gesendet'.
[Android Apps and Games] Ghy61:
Hello M66B,

Thanks for your quick, efficient answer. I set "sent folder" in the account settings. I had not found this menu and I think it is a little too much burried.

I believe another app had created another "sent folder", fairemail choose this one, I then deleted this folder, and as a consequence fairemail had no more "sent folder" selected in account settings. It was deceived by the "fake sent folder" and cannot find the system sent folder by itself.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Normally, you don't need to change the system folder settings. Only when other apps "know" better ...

If you are using the tabular style instead of cards, you might want to look into the new option to use the card background color as window background color.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I would like to try the new solarized theme. Do the settings I now have automatically apply it or do I need to change something?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Start screen > three dots top right > Select theme > select 'Solarized' > OK
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
The card layout is beige even when beige is not set and the settings are beige even when table layout is set in version 1.1628. Is this intended?

I'm testing the solarized theme.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This isn't beige (cosmic latte in fact), but more the 'paper' color of Solarized (Base3 color).

The 'beige' color settings is ignored for Solarized when using cards because the cards itself are already 'paper' color, which would be to similar to the beige background color.

When using the table layout, you can use the new setting 'Use card color as background color when using tabular style' to select if you want 'paper' background or a white background.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
But the settings are still with the 'paper' background, when

'Use card color as background color when using tabular style' is off and the background in for example the unified inbox is white.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not sure what your settings are anymore.

Which theme is this about? I assume Solarized?

Are you using the card or tabular layout?

Is 'beige' enabled?

Is 'Use card color as background color when using tabular style' enabled or disabled?

Which background are you seeing and which one did you expect?
