Store Mails on external SD card

I wanted to ask if there is any possibility to store the mails or at least attachments (so not the app itself) on the external SD card. Only very few clients such as K9 are able to do this. I'm not sure why, because to me it seems to be an obvious feature...
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Just click on the save icon of the attachment to store it anywhere you like.
[Android Apps and Games] tiktok1:
Been away for a few versions having phone problems.

What happened to the long press account folder in the side menu, used to go to the inbox, found that very useful.
[Android Apps and Games] mnbrgr:
But how about inline attachments such as images. If I decide that they should be shown, they will take space from the internal memory, right? And if I click on an attachment it will also be downloaded in the internal memory. It would be great to have this as an (pro) option to decide that the data is stored to the external SD.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Instead, you can now select to show folders in the navigation menu (long press a folder in the folder list, edit properties).

This is nicer and easier than long pressing.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Idea:

autocomplete for the address fields:

It would be good to get frequently used addresses as well. Not just the contacts from the phone book.

The local directory could be used for this. In combination with the adjustable favorites, the original message could then be loaded automatically. Just like the pictures. As far as these two options are activated in the settings.

What say the other users?

Many Thanks

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Shown inline images does not use extra storage space.

Since FairEmail is meant to be privacy friendly, message, attachments, etc should never be stored on places accessible to other apps like on an SD card. Technically this is also not possible, see this FAQ about why not:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq93
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Another idea about sensitivity of the swipe movement:

What do you say about a sensitive attitude to swipe through easily.

And at the same time a locking button.

Just like the full screen button.

Sometimes you move or scroll in an original message and accidently swipe away...

Thank you and best regards,

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Merging and de-duplicating the Android contacts and the local contacts would be an expensive process (memory and CPU). So, this is not a good idea also because I don't want to mix contact types to keep FairEmail maintainable. It is already complex enough.

The local contacts database is meant for people not wanting to grant contacts permissions to FairEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Since I like to keep the user interface as simple as possible, I don't want to add buttons for this kind of purpose.

How can I use an image in my signature?

<p><img alt="" src="https://www.bremer.solidarstrom.de/SolidarStrom.png"/></p> is working! But I'd prefer a local image instead of a link.

But neither <p><img alt="" src="file:///mnt/sdcard/Download/SolidarStrom.png"/></p> nor <p><img alt="" src="file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/SolidarStrom.png"/></p> is working. Any idea why?

Is there a way to force plain text when responding to **certain addresses**?

I just replied to a certain newslist (using Reply / sender) and my reply was rejected:

"We are sorry, but your message to xxxxx is being returned by the xxxxx list server because it was received in a format other

than Plain Text."

Edit

I assumed the reply would be in the same format as the message itself.

Hi, i have a feature request: to have the possibility to set different notification for each gmail label (or folder, in imap terms). It was a feature available in android 7 on gmail app and then was removed but it's very important for people, like me, who use gmail for work.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Since FairEmail has no storage permissions (and also does not attach images in signatures) local images will not work.

However, FairEmail supports image data URIs.

Edit: there are online services to convert an image to a data URI. Be aware that not all email clients will support this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Who is till using plain text messages in 2019?

Anyway, there is an identity setting to send plain messages.

You might want to create an additional identity for this purpose.

I will see if I can add reply plain to plain.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can set different notifications for different accounts and for different senders, but not for different folders.

[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I agree!

[Android Apps and Games] ths180:

Hello,

how do you do it, if you want to send an already sent email again?

For example. to someone else, without indenting or quoting.

Thanks,

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Sending the same message again is not supported and should not be done because the recipient might think/complain about duplicate messages.

So, just reply to the message and enter a message like "Did you receive this message?", so the recipient can see why you sent it again and distinguish it from the original message.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
And same mail to other recipient?

Copy into drafts and then change recipient?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, why not.

You can also use the templates if it is a message text you send frequently.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=6910712]maybeme2[/MENTION] the next version will automatically send a plain message in reply to a plain message. The send-as-plain-text-only option will be moved from the identities to the compose menu as well.

[Android Apps and Games] crankidiot:
Would it be possible to add an option not to add the X-Mailer and X-FairEmail-ID headers when sending a mail?

I also recognised, that the signature within a mail you reply to won't get trimmed from the quote. Maybe it could be an option too? Some companies (e.g. where I work) have quite large signatures, for such cases it would be very convenient. TB strips those away too.

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The X-FairEmail-ID header is required for providers that strip the Message-ID header, like Outlook, else the message can't be find back after sending and threading will not work properly.

The X-Mailer header is to determine the originating software and version in case the message is wrongly formatted, etc. I see no harm in sending it, but I will consider to send it with beta versions only. Note that all versions so far were beta versions, even when labeled stable.

Trimming the signature of the sender of the original message would be nice, but since signatures are not standardized it will be impossible to reliably distinguish a signature from the message text.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
A correct signature is always separated from the mail-body by <bind line><bind line><space key>.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Maybe in your case, but this is not a standard.

Wikipedia about signatures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_block

Note that what RFC3676 say about signatures only applies to Usenet.

[Android Apps and Games] Der_Xte_Mensch:
Thanks for the information. I did a quick research and testing and unfortunately most email clients do not support data URI, so although it's a great feature, it's not an option for me. There are no plans in enabling attached images in signatures?

Another question: I find it really cool that starred messages are always kept. Is there also an option to always keep unread messages? That would be awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will see what I can do.

The next version will by default synchronize (if the server supports this) and keep unread messages.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=3632539]Der_Xte_Mensch[/MENTION] I have looked into adding images to signatures, but this quite complicated. Therefore I have added it to the planned features list for now.

Background: since FairEmail does not have storage permissions the images need to be selected via the storage access framework and copied locally. On composing a draft these images needs to be attached to the drafts as inline images, which needs to be done again on changing the identity. Also, the images need to be exported with the identity data and to be deleted on deleting an identity.

So, this will be a lot of work and I don't think a lot of people will use this.
[Android Apps and Games] RedSkull23:
With an eye to privacy achievable in a local contest, a simple option that allows to set an alphabetical password (or just a numeric pin) before allowing access to FairMail would be a nice feature.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Protecting your device and protecting apps is not a task for an individual app.

Edit: nevertheless I have added this to the list of planned features.
[Android Apps and Games] RedSkull23:
Yeah, for sure and never thought that for a single moment, i just thought that even if it's a really simple step it could be able to add more security since that many apps already include this feature, apps not related to privacy offer this "lock" also. Appreciate the motivation though.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Although other apps might have this feature, the question is if the app is in fact well protected. For example more advanced launchers can launch not normally visible activities for which the protection might not work. From there you might be able to navigate to even other parts of the app. This is one of the reasons why this better should be done at system level.

Hello Marcel,

if I read a message on top is the button for move.

If I tap on it the name changes from Verschieben to Verschie-.

The second is:

If I tap on move the folder names are not the names which given in folder menu/ folder list.

If I open the folder setup after rename the old Inbox... name is back.

In folder list it is right.

Thank you,

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You are likely not using the latest version.

What is different?

What is "folder setup" ? What do you mean by "name is back" ?
[Android Apps and Games] RedSkull23:
Ok, got it. You're right about hidden activities. I'll find a workaround, thanks anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Sorry, my english is not so good.

Last Version.

After first setup the folder names were:

INBOX.Posteingang

INBOX.Trash

INBOX.Eingang (user folder)

...

I gave them names in folder settings.

Posteingang

Papierkorb

Eingang

In folder list everything is right.

In move menu the INBOX... folder names are back.

If I open the folder setting of Eingang folder there see in name: INBOX.Eingang.

I sent you screenshots per Email.

Thanks,

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The screenshots made clear what the problems was, thanks.

This will be fixed in the next release.

Which provider are your using?

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Try to set the namespace prefix (Namespace Präfix) INBOX (case sensitive) in the account settings.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:

But the sort order of the move menu is not the sort order of folder list.

I sorted it in the new menu...

Android will show a maximum of three actions, at least that is what the documentation says:

Hello Marcel,

another idea:

It would be good to have the opportunity to switch between the different views.

Unified Inbox

Unified Folders

Accounts

You could it make possible through tap on FairEmail on top.

What do you think?

Thomas
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can change this in the settings and since I think most people will have a preference for just one of the choices and because I like to keep the UI as simple as possible, there won't be an option for this in the main UI.

Clicking back when you are in a tab on the right, i.e. display, behaviour

Will cycle back to the left instead of going back. Is that the intention?

Because the more you go right (swipe right to left) the more times you need to click back button to leave advanced settings

For example,

General, click back once to return to setup

Connection, click back twice

Display, click back button three times

...

Miscellaneous, you need to click back button six time to leace advanced settings

Another thing that is slow, is if you need to go directly to Miscellaneous, it is not pissible, you need to swipe 6 times until you reach there.

It is nice to have things separated and clear. But it makes things more cumbersome to reach places.

Having it all in one page was not too bad.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Next version.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
I find the division of the advanced options into the different groups / areas very good, but the area change should not only take place by side wiping, but also by tapping on the next visible heading.

I like the option menu in the current version 1.468 - the clarity is better than before.
