Great! Thank you very much. :)
[Android Apps and Games] PingFlamingo:
Well, that's a big disappointment. It also means that per-account proxy settings and proxying of just particular protocols won't be possible to implement.

Which specialized app would you recommend? I'm on Android 6 if that matters. Got to prepare now, since proxying is an important feature to me.

Is there some way to install multiple instances of FaiEmail (3 instances in my case), so that I could proxy some of them though different proxies and have one not proxied?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Another specialized app should provide proxy or even better VPN support for all other apps. This should not be done by individual apps. It will only make maintenance and support of an app more difficult. In fact your question to add proxy support for specific accounts and protocols is an example of this and the reason I removed proxy support. It was an error to add this in the first place.

You can run FairEmail in another (work) profile too.

By adding a new mailbox account I discovered a possible problem. I somehow managed to end up with 2 'default identities'. That should not be possible. There should only be one default. No?

See screenshot showing 2 starred identities.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can have a primary (default) identity for each account, but only one primary (default) account.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I understand.

When I added a new account I somehow lost the 'primary default account' setting I used to have. (I think it may have happened because I copied my default mailbox to create the new account). Now I cannot find where I designate a certain account to be the 'default' sending account. Where is that setting?

Thank you.

On latest Version. Rule creation actions are broken. I tried saving set importance /automation and saved not on opening rule, it is set to "no action"
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I can't reproduce this problem with the latest version, so please check again.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
You are correct. I wanted to edit the rule created from within the mail (new feature) and was expecting it to show rule already created. Instead, it was showing a new rule format. Realised this on checking rules from folder options.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] I think I found a bug my friend. When snoozing a message with attachments, the attachments are gone when the message "unsnooze". The only way I found to bring them back is to resync the whole message.

Also, it's not a bug but it's kinda annoying, when resyncing an unread message, there is a new message notification that pops up. Weirdly enough, resyncing a read message doesn't do that.

Can you look into that?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I can reproduce this bug and I will fix it soon.

When resynchronizing a message, it will be deleted from the device and fetched again from the server as a new message. If the message is unread a new message notification is therefore inevitable.

I have just released version 1.1227 Lambeosaurus

Changelog/download:

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

Despite a series of frustrating, unfair reviews, I have added a big new feature: text styling, both displaying and composing. Android has limited support for fonts, so styling is limited to font families (Cursive, Serif, Sans-serif, Monospace). Displaying text styles can be disabled with a new display setting (should it be enabled by default?). Text styles can be set in the composer by selecting text and tapping on the last item in the style toolbar. Setting colors have been merged into the text style options, so that it is easier to set colors in signatures and reply templates.

If you can review in the Play store, I would appreciate it if you did ...

Please report any issue you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Monospace as default doesn't work if use fonts is enabled. Is this expected behavior?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
When monospace

as default

is enabled, the font will be monospaced, unless a specific font family is specified in the message. If you want monospaced only, you should disable the use new text style option.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thank you for everything you've provided in the FairEmail app. It is really amazingly customizable besides its unique privacy and other features. And it just keeps getting better.

I don't know if this is even possible but a thought came to me while trying out the latest display settings changes. I found myself changing this or that setting and going back in and out of the messages to see what that changed display setting produced. So, I wondered if it would be possible to see the display changes in 'real time' the way they are shown in some other apps. I think Nova launcher and some other apps show the changes in real time within the settings screen in a small example panel above the actual settings.

I don't know if this is even possible or practical in an app as complex as FairEmail but if it was it would be really cool.

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

This is a really amazing feature!

Thank you!

I think it should be enabled by default. Otherwise it may remain undiscovered by the average user.

Where does one set the 'default' style (serif, sans-serif, etc) for composing future new messages?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Visually displaying the result of changing settings in real-time is not a trivial thing to add and since you won't do this often I will make this a sponsored feature. Get together $1000 and I will add it.

A setting to change the default font type, which means removing the 'default monospaced' setting, will likely be added.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
For me, none of this is 'simple' <wink>.

When replying to an email just now I noticed this 'plain text only' (see image). Is this a FairEmail setting I can change? I do not recall encountering it before.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You are replying to a plain text only message, in which case FairEmail automatically creates a plain text only reply. You can disable plain text only in the send dialog again (you might need to enable the send options for this in the three dots menu top right).
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Thanks, message keeps it's attachments now after the snooze period!

I was afraid you would say that about the new notification of unread messages. As I said, it's really not a big deal, but maybe something could be done with the message.uid? Maybe not worth the effort though, but most times when I think of something you implement it in 2 lines, so maybe it's the case now too :)
[Android Apps and Games] Shakidor:
Accounts-to-inbox button

Thank you for the very handy button for jumping from accounts to the inbox.

Would it be possible to make it a little bigger?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The icon button will be larger in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] Shakidor:
That's great.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I like to get some feedback on the new font styles for both displaying and composing.
[Android Apps and Games] wimstefan:
I would love to give same feedback but to be honest I can't see a difference between `Use fonts` switched on or off ...

Do I have to switch off the others settings like `Use text colors` or `Use text sizes` as well?
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Good for those who would like to switch fonts!

For me, I prefer the monospace but can see myself using cursive occasionally at times to emphasize a point.

Thanks for your unbelievable & untiring efforts despite the stream on unpleasant reviews
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
As you know ;) I use in all cases only monospaced font so I don't use these new styles features - but maybe others.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't think I deserve a 1 star Play store review like this:

Don't be surprised if you don't hear anything from me today.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Well, you can't take something like that seriously. From my point of view it's just envy, because people don't have your skills and can't create such a great program themselves.
[Android Apps and Games] christantoan:
No, you don't deserve it. Be strong and don't be discouraged by something like that :). You're above them

[Android Apps and Games] christantoan:
Some things I noticed/would like to report on:

Does FairEmail automatically recolor the text? I set a text as white but after it's sent it's displayed as black.

Here's what it looks like on Gmail when received:

It shows Color in pop up but shows as Colour in the color selection window

Make the color selection disc smaller as when white is selected (pictured above), the inner colors are all hidden

PS. How to resize to smaller images?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail will adjust colors to make sure all text is visible and I think that is a good thing.

Color/colour: you can fix that on Crowdin:

https://crowdin.com/project/open-source-email

The color picker is provided by an external library and I like to keep it as it is.
[Android Apps and Games] christantoan:
I agree. Just wondered if that was done intentionally or not.

Done. I hope it's this one: https://crowdin.com/translate/open-source-email/48/en-engb#14916

When you create a new rule from inbox, it says priority 10.

Does the 10 mean low priority compared to say 1?

I want high priority rule, so should I set it to 1
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
That person is a total idiot and does not know what he is talking about. He is obviously not really rating the product but just attempting to hurt you. Don't let him succeed.

[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]

In rule creation, one can add multiple senders separated by commas (without spaces) right?

Next, What about this *. [MENTION=1720513]abc.[/MENTION]co.in,will this work for all senders from abc.co.in?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No, you can't specify multiple senders separated with commas in rules.

You can use a regex though.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Thanks a lot. Another way could be to create one rule /sender and action being automation, there shouldn't be a problem right?

Edit :In automation intent I don't use sender field
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:

This version adds a big new feature, which was regularly asked for: showing favicons as avatar for the domain of an email address. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled in the display settings. Favicons are cached 'forever' to minimize the security and privacy risk. In theory fetching favicons can be used to track you.

Example for somebody@zoho.com:

After you posted the 1229 update them I tried to get it through the about menu. With 1228 when I long pressed on About it did not pop up that there is an update.

I pulled down in inbox to refresh and waited until all operations were finished. It did download new emails but still About does not tell me that there is an update.

I eventually just short clicked on about them selected the change log and downloaded the update that way.

I will check with your next update to see if long press About will work.

"In theory" plus lighter shade is warning compared to Gravatars means low risk I suppose

Very nice addition! Just FIY, the small "bookmark aka ivThread icon" doesn't get cleared when closing the nested pane. Otherwise, it works great and I must say I like it!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks.

The message keeps being highlighted in multi pane mode deliberately!
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Ok thanks, I thought the purpose of this icon was to know what message was expanded in the nested pane. Once I close the message, there is no reason for the bookmark to stick, right? Or maybe I'm missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Other people think differently about this and since the bookmark is non obtrusive it is not worth adding a setting for this.

Multiple panes are not supported by Android, so the current solution is already involves some trickery.

It is on my to do list to look into this, but this will not have much priority.

[Android Apps and Games] neodin:
Hello Marcel,

thank you for creating and sharing this app. It is the best e-mail app I ever used. After some days of testing I went Pro on Google PlayStore on last Sunday. (Thank you also that it is possible to buy the Pro features of this app and of Netguard with money and not with personal data.)

I have two feature requests:

I still have contacts who can only get mails smaller than 10 MB. When I am composing a new mail I cannot find an info of the total size of all of its attachments. Maybe I just missed it. If not: May I suggest that the (rough) total size of all attachments (or the whole mail) is displayed somewhere when a new message is composed?

If I got it right, when an mail has been opened, it is not possible to move it to another accounts folder using a button or an option from the menu left next to the buttons? May I also suggest this as a feature?

And a question:

I have set delayed sending for all mails by default. When I send a mail I get a nice confirmation dialogue where I can set e.g. the priority and encryption of the mail. It seems it is only possible to change the time for delayed sending there but not to set it to 0. Sometimes I would like to send a mail at once. Is there an option I missed?

And maybe I found a bug:

Drafts which only contains of an attachment or text and which have no recipients and subject cannot be deleted by using the “discard”-button: The discarded draft only disappears in the draft list for a second and then reappears. This happens infinite when using the “discard” button. (“Move to trash” is working.)

Best regards

neodin
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I think there should be some meter (green, orange, red) showing the total size of the message because there are more people wrestling with message size limits. Unfortunately, it is not possible to determine what the maximum message size for an account is. I will see how this can be solved, but I guess it will just be a number somewhere, maybe in the send dialog.

Edit: it appears to be possible to fetch the maximum message size in most case.

Moving messages cross account can indeed be done via multiple selection only. IMHO it is not a good idea to add this function to the message view, which would be yet another complication. There are already so many options, sometimes leading to complaints. Most other email apps cannot even move cross account.

At the bottom left of the send dialog there is a 'Send now' choice.

I can discard drafts with just a text or just an attachment without any problem. Can you please reproduce this problem and send me the debug info immediately after it by long pressing 'Support' in the navigation menu.

It is also possible to enter a lower value than than the server reported. [MENTION=3387288]neodin[/MENTION]

Just tried to reply to an email I received and could not do so. As the screenshot shows there is no longer an option to 'send'.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please update to version 1.1234, go to the setup, step 2, tap Manage, tap the corresponding identity, tap Advanced, disable the identity, save, tap the identity again, enabled the identity and save again. This will fetch the maximum message size again. You might need to clear the maximum message size field.

A message size limit of zero appears to be "infinite" according to the standards, which will be recognized in version 1.1234.

One message was from an Apple phone using a Hotmail domain. The other was sent to me from a windows PC and a proprietary domain.
