Thanks. I am trying to troubleshoot intent sent by FairEmail not working with an automation app. In this context "received" means received by the automation app? If received is not mentioned, it means not received by automation app?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
"received" is just an intent extra containing the received time formatted as ISO 8601 date/time. Note that the intents are logged in the main log now (navigation menu, log).
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I believe I may have stumbled on a possible bug. Only started within the last 2-3 FairEmail updates. This has happened 3 times, twice to the same recipient. It is reproducible and involves attaching images.

1. I reply to a received email

2. Type my reply text and then click on icon to attach an image (resize is pre-selected)

3. 'Recent' screen appears, but is *blank*. No images shown in 'Recent' screen. Only title 'Recent'

4. I therefore go from Recent to the phone directory and select an image.

5. Selected image is attached correctly.

......

6. Click on FairEmail's icon to attach *another* image

7. 'Draft is saved' message, and then a black empty screen appears. No matter how long I wait screen remains black. Cannot go back to FairEmail. App is frozen.

........

8. Force Close FairEmail's frozen screen.

9. Restart FairEmail and repeat steps 1-2. This time no 'Recent' screen appears and screen goes blank.

........

10. Reboot phone returns things to where I can add one image, then the frozen black screen appears if I try to add a second image.

Phone has stock android pie.

The compose/reply button will be hidden on scrolling. I like to hear feedback on this.

Please report any issue you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
I like the hidden button on scrolling. :)
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
#metoo, especially that it remains hidden while you keep your finger on the screen. And the animation is cute.

[Android Apps and Games] Lonnie Reeder:
Excellent work on the hiding of the compose/reply button. I also like the fact it stays hidden while my finger is on the screen. A beautiful addition to this awesome app.
[Android Apps and Games] wimstefan:
Very nice indeed! [emoji1360][emoji16]

[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thank you Marcel. It was the Files app.

I do not know what happened. Maybe I got tired of it asking me to delete junk files and did something stupid to it. Anyway, I uninstalled and reinstalled the Files app and now I think that fixed things. Thank you.

FairEmail Play Store rating back to 4.8 here in South Asia . Good work never goes unrecognized! Congrats Marcel
[Android Apps and Games] Qu@rk:
I have used K9 for many years. I like FairEmail so far, but some things are very confusing. I am willing to buy the pro version, because I would need to export/import settings for different tablets and phones.

I use several accounts and I would like to use the account view as the starting page.

Besides my main account, there are more important and less important accounts.

I was not able to find a way to change the order of accounts in the accounts start page.

If there is no way to do that, FairEmail is useless for me. Additional the order will change if you alter the settings of an account, very confusing.

Where can I find the setting how FairEmail handles confirmation requests for received messages?

I found it for sent messages, but it seems there is no setting for received messages.

Thank you for this great work!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can change the order of the accounts via the navigation menu of the setup screen. By default the accounts are ordered on primary/secondary and account name.

Confirming a received message can be done via the answer menu. It will be an option if the sender requested this and there will be an icon in the addresses section to show a read receipt was requested as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Qu@rk:
Thank you for your quick reply.

I am sorry, I am not able to find the mentioned menu for changing the order of the accounts. Is this a pro feature? I have not bought the pro version yet, still testing.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Go to the setup screen and swipe from the left edge inwards and you'll find a menu item to order the accounts.
[Android Apps and Games] Qu@rk:
Oh my god, I am so sorry! I found it, cool. :)

Even more options!

A little bit overwhelming all these options but great to have them, even if I don't need all of it at the moment. Many default settings are perfect already.

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] AlainL:
Hi.

I have a suggestion :

Can you add an option to customize action bar (the one that is sticky at bottom of screen) ?

I'm reading messages in normal mode (not conversation) and there is only 2 buttons : delete message and delay (not useful for me).

To move the message i'm reading or to display images, i have to scroll all the way up to top to have the button.

It would be nice to have same buttons in sticky bottom bar as in top action bar.

Or, better, make top action bar sticky at bottom of screen instead of fixed position after header.

Any way, thanks for this great program
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There can be only five actions in an action bar, so choices have to be made. Previous/next, archive/trash and snooze are the most used actions.

Maybe you can set an archive folder where the message should be moved to (setup, step 1, tap Manage, tap account, at the bottom).

I will think about an option to replace archive by move.
[Android Apps and Games] Qu@rk:
I am still struggling with my change from K9 to FairEmail.

A language setting independent of the system language would be nice. It would be easier to communicate with you about specific settings (my system language is German, so it is difficult to refer to menu entries or settings).

Independantly set "compact mode" for list of e-mails and message view. I would like to use the compact mode for the list of e-mails but "normal" mode while reading the message.

I have used K9 for many years and I get a lot of e-mails from strange senders (customers). So I am much more focused on the subject than on the sender. I often read an e-mail, reply but leave the genuine e-mail unread as a reminder.

With K9 it is much easier for me to keep track of the subjects and unread e-mails. In FairEmail it is harder for me to distinguish the read from unread e-mails and because the subject has the same color as the address it is less easy to focus on that. For me the visualization of FairEmail is more straining.

K9 uses a different background for unread e-mails. And maybe a brighter color for the subject would help. K9 is far less colorful but easier to read (my opinion after so many years). It is difficult to recommend a solution, because FairEmail is so different and it should be, it is not a K9-clone.

Maybe you have a good idea how to improve the readability.

This is no criticism of your work! I am used to K9 but I like some features of FairEmail very much.

Maybe there is a way to adapt the visualization by some options to make it easier for K9-changers. :)
[Android Apps and Games] AlainL:
Where does this limitation come from ?

In K9 mail, I had seven button in action bar. That was very handy
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Hi dev, for the "delete old unread message" feature, could we customize the numbers of days of it? I remember meanwhile 30 days means old. I wish I could set it to other numbers. Thank you very much for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
You don't have to scroll at all, 1 click on the up arrow (framed in red in the attached screenshot) is enough to get back to the top.
[Android Apps and Games] Andriy U.:
You can change in the Settings -> DISPLAY:

* Text size sender: Small

* Text size subject: Medium or Large

* Show subject in italics: ON

* Highlight subject: ON

It will make the visualization more comfortable for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Qu@rk:
Thank you. Yes, I know, I already tried several combinations without much improvement.
[Android Apps and Games] Andriy U.:
What would you like to improve? The font style, size and color are configurable, see the screenshot with above mentioned settings. As for me, the focus on subject is quite good ;)

PS: If the account name will be not shown after the subject, I will be 100% happy...
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Hi Marcel.

This is just a minor display anomaly. The setting for 'Display/Show subject under sender' seems to work in reverse. When off (see image), the subject is under the sender. Turning this setting to on, reverses the order. Maybe it is just a translation error and the setting text should read 'Show sender under subject'?

Another minor point. The floating reply icon disappears temporarily when reading a message which seems desirable because it removes text obstruction. But I find it disturbing to not visually find the option to reply till I scroll again. Is the disappearing reply icon a setting that can be turned off?

Fantastically configurable app!
[Android Apps and Games] cogano:
This very much depends on user`s habits. I stopped using multiple folders for archiving my messages and simply put everything to a single one for one year. With some clearly defined exceptions.

On the other hand, I have never got used to the Snooze function. Everything in my inbox is "snoozed" [emoji6]
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
I don't see 'subject under sender'. So it seems that you have another programm.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
The screenshot is from FairEmail's settings/display
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
And where do you see 'subject under sender'?
[Android Apps and Games] Andriy U.:
Option 'Show subject ABOVE sender' works well (as expected) :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
On recent Android versions it is not reliably possible anymore to set an app to another language than the system language. A lot has written about this already (not here). You can force US locale in the miscellaneous settings though.

Compact/normal mode is a global option and I can't add an option for everything, there are already so many!

The sender name is bold, 10% bigger and has another color for unread messages. Given that background colors are used for other purposes, I don't see a way to improve this anymore. Consider to use stars as reminders, they are meant for this. Alternatively, snooze the messages for later or move them to a folder "to do".
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
A standard bottom navigation view according to the material design specification can have 5 actions only.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Old in this context means older than the number of days to keep messages for, which you can configure by long pressing the folder in the folder list and selecting 'Edit properties'.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The title is 'Show subject above sender' and the setting works as expected for me.

There is no setting for the hiding reply and compose button.
[Android Apps and Games] NothingCanHurtMe:
4 months in, and I'm still discovering all the great features of FairEmail.

format=flowed support is working very well. This is not even supported by Gmail at all, so I may migrate my gmail accounts as well as my non-gmail IMAP mail accounts to FairEmail on mobile as well.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
You are correct. Switching views between settings and the unified inbox got me confused. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Oh my bad! Have been using the app for more than a year and have never entered that property menu ??*♂️

This is even better than I expect. Now I can customise different period for emails to stay for different folders! You are the man!

I have just released version 1.1253 1.1254 Noasaurus

Changelog/download:

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

Despite quite some frustrating Play store reviews a lot of work was put into this version.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Qu@rk:
There has not to be another option for compact/normal mode, just store it independently, it is intuitive.

You could use for example a gray background for unread e-mails and the accent color (darker) as functional background (like K9).

But I understand that you do not want to change so much just to make it easier for former K9 users.

Thanks a lot for your efforts and your immediate replies, but I will stay with K9 so far, for me K9 is easier and faster to work with. I have tried to adapt my way of working with my customer's e-mails to FairEmail for two weeks but it is too straining.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
bout time we got an update [emoji12]

no , seriously ; really appreciate your work. ty
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There are plenty of options to color, size and move the sender and subject. There must be a combination that works for you. Note that you can override the body font size in the settings to have a larger header and smaller body. Did you already try all combinations?
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]

Thanks so much for remembering a feature request (of reading out aloud notification text), partially implementing at first, filling it away for future, fully implementing it, sending me a test version to verify and then rolling it out!

If that's not developer dedication, I don't know what it is.

I am with you always Marcel and surely are so many more and hope this segment becomes a bulwark against Play Store insanity ???
[Android Apps and Games] Qu@rk:
Thank you, but yes I tried all combinations of sender and subject position, color and sizes. With many read and unread e-mails in the list it is still difficult to keep track at a glance. I really tried, because I like FairEmail, but it did not work out, sorry.

But there are other sequences/workflows that are easier in K9. For some things I need an additional click (or two) or an additional submenu compared to K9, for example the empty recycle bin function, but I could adapt to that, an action bar after selecting an e-mail, a context menu after a long press on an account etc. And, sorry that I have to bring it up, K9 is faster and snappier, but maybe that's complaining at a high level and I could adapt to that either.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Maybe the solution is simply to use the unread messages filter?

There will be an empty recycle bin icon in the top action bar if there is enough room.

An action bar when multiple selecting messages would occupy value vertical screen space.

FairEmail is pretty fast, given that it can handled lots of messages without running out of memory and considering all the things that happen under the hood, like identifying duplicate message, determining the previous/next message in real-time, grouping conversations and lots more.

Anyway, use whatever you prefer.
[Android Apps and Games] gyhor3:
Does the unread (or flag) filter searches in all subscribed folder?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is a filter that applies to the current message list, but you can search for unread messages too (with two taps: tap on the magnifier glass, tap on the closed envelop symbol).
[Android Apps and Games] gyhor3:
ok thank you.

What do you think about a "virtual folder", that could be pinned in the menu left - like subscribed folders?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Besides that virtual folders are not simply added, they don't exist after all, I think it will be confusing and not add much.
[Android Apps and Games] gyhor3:
understandable. But it is a helpful feature, to have some "persistent" search folder. I use them quite often with blackberry calendar.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There are already search shortcuts, which is just as easy as a virtual folder to find unread messages and technical less complicated. Please consider that I have to take care of maintenance and support in the long run too.
[Android Apps and Games] cogano:
When attaching or inserting an image from FairEmail message editor, the user can choose whether to resize the image.

However, when the image is e.g. sent from Gallery App (or File Manager app) to FairEmail, the original image is attached and the user has no option to resize it within FairEmail.

How about changing the logic and postponing the "Image resize / Locations metadata removal / All metadata removal" options only after the user taps on "Send message"?

Or at least allow an "Options" menu (long press) for each attachment in the message editor.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't think this is a good idea. It is still on my to do list to resize shared images.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=1626944]cogano[/MENTION] I will see if I can add resize on share in the next version. I requires some refactoring, but it should not be very difficult to add. The idea is to show a screen before the message composer with resize options.

If you want, you can contact me for a test version. There will be less releases than before ...
[Android Apps and Games] cogano:
Hi Marcel,

I am ready to help with testing.

Also, the current version offers to remove Geo location.

How about an extra option for stripping all metadata (camera Exif, XMP, IPTC - some cameras add e. g. user name). That would help with privacy even more.
[Android Apps and Games] Oldie56:
Sender's high priority lists on top

If a sender has set his e-mail to high priority, it is always listed on top of the incoming e-mail list, even if it is old.

In Fairemail the importance (Wichtigkeit in German) is set to "normal" at the same time. I can only move the email from the top downwards by setting the importance to low, which moves the mail to the very end of the list. So there is only the choice on top or at the end. I do not get the mail in line by date as with the other mails. I would like to have such mails in line by date.

Anyway, thank you for the great product.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Sorting on priority (as set by the sender) is optional and can be enabled/disabled in the top action bar/menu.

You can set or reset the importance yourself (as receiver), so you can change the sort order for the importance by changing the importance.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In the next version you'll be able to resize shared images and to remove the location from shared images.
