Swiping is back to normal, thank you very much! :good:

Hello Marcel, thank you very much for the possibility to disable separator lines.

:) :good:

(In some newsletter emails there were sometimes many separators lines.)

On this occasion I noticed something else: in some newsletter emails parts of the content is doubled in reformatted messages. In the original message everything is OK.

I can't say from which version on this is the case, but strangely enough on my old Samsung S4 with Android 5.01 the reformatted message is OK (I updated in some steps 1.1250 to 1.1319).

It could be due to a CSS declaration "display:none", which is obviously interpreted by the S4 with 5.01, but strangely not by the S10e with Android 10. If I remove "display:none" in the eml file and import it, I have the doubling also with the S4.

The settings under Display are identical on both devices - if I am not mistaken ;).

No reason for this message.

I'm a long time user of FairEmail and I am just constantly amazed at how well it does its job, how many features it has (that I never knew I needed), and all this while educating me about security measures it is protecting me with.

Truly an amazing app. Thank you Marcel! A superb job. And you make it so easy and automatic. Wow!

(And I didn't mention the instant support. Answers within seconds!)

Just a very grateful user.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Likewise! Thanks Marcel
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks guys!

The next version might save you some more time because it will be possible to mark one template as standard (default) template.

So, no more typing of for example:

Hello ...,

Kind regards, ...
[Android Apps and Games] loyl1:
Same here. Those search operators rock, and I'm looking forward to playing a bit with the import / export functions.

You regularly add amaze me, and not just the features, but the stability, intuitiveness, and the documentation too.

When you finish your FairEmail checklist, please write a web front end too ?. Webmail is weak in comparison.

Marcel, you are a blessing!

Android 11 conflicts with Fairemail?

Dear Marcel,

Since the upgrade of my Pixel 3 to Android 11, the Fairemail app (from F-Droid) seemed to be wiped out. Trying to install from F-Droid did not succeed. I tried to install version 1.1320 from Github. It seemed successful, but then I got the message "app not installed". What did I wrong?

Regards,

Dear Marcel, simply putting the command

adb uninstall eu.faircode.eu

in the terminal does the trick (for the readers with limited knowledge of adb like me: the command

pm uninstall <package name>

within adb shell will not work because FairEmail does not occur in the list of installed packages which is logical because the package has been wiped out).

Millions of thanks!!

Frank
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Too many options, not everything is free, uses too much battery power, cannot setup my account, etc, etc. FairEmail must be a really bad app.
[Android Apps and Games] mitza97:
Hello [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] and thanks for this wonderful app, I have already purchased pro.

In the last version 1.321 I constantly receive from my Huawei P40 Lite warning about constantly refreshing in the background.

Battery consumption estimated 12.64 %

Previous version doesn't have this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't think this is being caused by an update.

Please send me the debug info by long pressing 'Support' for inspection.

Please include a short problem description, so I know what it is about.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Great fan of all you do.

Just heard of Fairemail and installed it. Will almost certainly purchase to support you.

Is there a setting to turn off the notification sound for each email coming or going. I get a lot of emails.

Any consideration for implementing filter rules to move messages to other folders?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You should be able to manage the notification sound with Android.

Filter rules should IMO be executed on the mail server, not on a battery power device with a potential unstable internet connection.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
What theme is that?
[Android Apps and Games] TheMadRuffian:

Fun fact: Looks like Google got inspiration from his theme for the multi colored settings icons in Pie.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
New user questions:

1. To delete a message 'permanently' seems to require several steps:

- swipe to the right

- click on folder icon on top right corner

- open trash folder

- delete permanently

Is there an option to delete permanently in one step?

2. I do not sync in the background and prefer to sync only when I want to. So I unselected the sync option. How do I manually download new messages? Swiping down does not do it. I currently need to enter the account's inbox folder and sync from there. Inconvenient unless I'm missing something.

3. I need to select several messages at once to move them to spam or trash folders. Doing each one individually is inefficient for those of us with heavy mail loads. Is there an option I missed to select several messages at once?

4. Downloading images seem to take longer than on my other email app on same phone. Not sure why.

Thank you and sorry if these questions have been answered already.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is deliberately no way to permanently delete a message to prevent accidents.

You can manually synchronize by long pressing the folder and selecting 'Synchronize now'.

Please see the FAQ about multiple select.

The download speed depends mostly on the speed of your internet connection and of your email provider.

Ok i thought it was related to NetGuard unpublication by Google.

I think you should re-consider your position.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It will only lead to many bad reviews as explained, so I don't see a reason to reconsider.
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
Some users are seeking for responsiveness and efficiency more than UI.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I think FairEmail is pretty responsive and efficient, so what is missing?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
"Some" is the problem here ...

FairEmail is available for those people as "test" version in the Play store and as GitHub release.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Is there an impact on battery life ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, depending on the poll frequency, which you can set in the advanced account settings.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
This setting in minute(s) acts only on the updating of the folders, not on the new emails coming in the inbox ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Basically, yes, but the poll interval is used to keep the connections to the system folders alive too.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
May be a hard question...

Have you an advice to give ? By default it's 9 minutes.

If we have a good connectivy, is it reasonable to increase this value ? 1 hour ? :D
[Android Apps and Games] mitza97:
Already sent, thanks for your quick response. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am replying here because I think the answer can be useful for others too.

There are many connectivity errors in the log.txt (search for "backoff"), for example:

09:46:10 redacted@redacted [B]Couldn't connect to host, port[/B]: redacted, 993; timeout 20000 failed to connect to /redacted (port 993) from redacted (port 35544) after 20000ms

09:44:38 redacted@redacted Couldn't connect to host, port: redacted, 993; timeout 20000 failed to connect to /redacted (port 993) from /redacted (port 49696) after 20000ms: isConnected failed: EHOSTUNREACH (No route to host) isConnected failed: EHOSTUNREACH ([B]No route to host[/B])

Basically, this means that there are internet connectivity issues. Please see this FAQ for possible causes:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq22

FairEmail will try to reconnect using a specific scheme to prevent a high battery drain, as described here:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq123

This scheme is a balance between restoring the connection in a timely fashion to start receiving messages again and battery usage and will always be some compromise.

In this situation you might be better off by switching to periodically checking for new messages in the receive settings, for example every 15-30 minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] mitza97:
OK, i will try that.

Thanks again!

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Good idea. Just say "make it so".

https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jean-Luc_Picard

Did I already say the design of FairEmail is ugly?
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
I don't know why people care so much about the looks of an email app anyway. It's not some AAA video game. It's a utility app. Use it. Close it. Go about your day.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
But it is! Especially on iPhone.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Actually, I just responded to a 1 star review just because of the design that FairEmail isn't a Christmas tree, but an app to effectively manage your email.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail is very ugly on an iPhone and as a matter of fact on Windows too.

However, iOS might generally be better for your privacy compared to Android. Although Android seems to be catching up with the latest releases.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
What is maybe even more important is that apps built like this are not vulnerable to the Janus exploit anymore:

https://www.xda-developers.com/janus-vulnerability-android-apps/

There is a reason why Android 11 zaps apps with a v1 signature only, which has been deprecated since 2017 because it is rather insecure.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Of course you're never sure with closed source software, and I read about some problems with iOS not long ago, but I happen to have a few outstanding tools to keep my mobile private. Didn't I mention XPrivacyLUA recently? :laugh:

Can someone else reproduce this bug?

1. Open an email from the notification.

2. Delete the email.

3. Wait for the operations to be finished.

4. Back out of the app all the way.

5. Open the app from Recents.

The app takes me to that deleted email again, even though it's not in inbox anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I can reproduce this, but it looks like a bug in Android to me because this should not happen because FairEmail explicitly erases the reference to the message. I will double check what is happening though.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=7570546]andy356[/MENTION] it appears to be this issue:

I've been trying to get the reply suggestions to work, but to no avail. I have suggested actions sometimes (like open maps) but I never get any reply suggestions. Anyone else? Anything I'm missing?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=7570546]andy356[/MENTION] since the workaround will cause conversations not to be accessible from the recent apps screen, I have removed it again.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
That's fine. It's not like it's breaking any functionality. Just a harmless minor bug the user can handle themselves.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
You can select individual recipients by clicking on the icon next to them.

Some contact apps allow to define groups (of recipients) - in other contact apps these groups are "only" defined by labels.

Would it be possible to select a complete group (same label) as recipient (or CC or BCC) in FairEmail by clicking on the icon?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can insert the email addresses of an Android contact group via the three-dots menu.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Ah, thanks a lot - this is very good!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Although it is not perfect, I have found a feasible workaround for this issue anyway:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/commit/2495374a038b946842a5e9b9c2971e68acf15a2e

It is not perfect because when the app is recreated after navigating to another app, which can happen when the memory pressure is high (=not much memory available), the thread reference will be lost. Given that recent devices have plenty of memory, I think this is a reasonable compromise.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Many apps lose state when resumed after the OS runs out of memory. So users probably won't complain about this happening, since it can happen in other apps as well.

I have just released version 1.1322 Scipionyx

Changelog/download:

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

Besides some small improvements and minor bug fixes [MENTION=7570546]andy356[/MENTION] the media toolbar will now be replaced by the style toolbar on selecting text. I like to hear feedback about this behavior change.

Please report any issue you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
For me this change is o.k.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The why about the style/media toolbar change is that the style toolbar overlaps the text to prevent the text from scrolling. Sometimes this is inconvenient because selected text is being overlapped. Replacing the media toolbar, which will of course be done only if it is enabled (three dots menu), prevents the overlapping and also the scrolling. I was a bit worried that people wouldn't notice the changing, I get questions about more trivial things, but given the the number of icons is changing and that there is a little changing effect, this is not a big risk. Maybe this is even better than before.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
I don't remember how it was before, because I never format anything. But I really like it!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In any case you know now how you can easily yell at someone with big bold red words ;)
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
Really did its job. I was eager to see the change and saw it first time. Feels very organic/natural in best interpretation. ?

Would it be possible to highlight the formatting choices, if the marked text is affected by one?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
All text styles are already visible, so I don't see a good reason to extra highlight things.

It would only make the code more complex and use extra processing power because the text needs to be evaluated.
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
The swap between the toolbars is very useful and the animation gives a pretty look to app even if it was not the aim.

Thanks Marcel

[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] I'm not 100% sure, but I believe there was a small icon that appeared next to the subject for forwarded messages (there is one for replied messages for sure). Anyway, if there was one for forwarded messages it's not showing anymore for me. If there never was, I'm sorry! (But that would be cool to have).

Thanks as always!
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Here I see the Forward-Icon.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is still there, but only if the email server supports IMAP labels (keywords).
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Oh, I see! So it means Office 365 doesn't support IMAP labels? Seems strange to me, but maybe.

Any way around that? Replied messages don't seem to rely on labels, so maybe there is a way?
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
I see your point. In general yes, it is (barely) visible (depending of used font).

BUT I just recently saw other applications doing this as I suggested. So it is more or less a feature most probably expected by the majority of users. The more a user finds a known behavior the less a bad review would follow. Just my 2 Cent.

Even if it is not that important to me.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Office 365 does not support IMAP keywords, but this commit will result in keeping local keywords:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/commit/c0f2e069e0a8f8a50fed5a2f962d0a948ce0342c
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Which other apps? From big companies with hundreds or thousands developers where one developer can spent days to get this done?
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
Thunderbird for example.

As said, I really don't care. It is done in most other apps and I am willing to test the available apps here and may invest some time,if you need to know other apps. My personal assumption a good app shows the correct 'toggle status'.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thunderbird is a desktop app, so not really comparable.

I agree it would be nice to have and I will put it on my to-do list for when I am bored.

Great app, thank you [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION].

If you are accepting feature requests I'd really love to be able to set schedule per account. E.g. I don't want night-time emails from account a but i do from account b.

This would significantly complicate the app and therefore I would rather not add this.

[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Ease of adding folders and organizing mails is a big plus for me.

Does anybody feel there should be a folder search option to quickly open the account and jump to the folder?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I would be not much work to replace searching for messages in an account, which is what the search in the folder list current does, by searching for a folder instead. However, IMHO that isn't a good idea.

Note that you can add any folder to the navigation menu for quick access by long pressing the folder in the folder list and checking the appropriate checkbox.

I just wanted to say a huge, huge thank-you to Marcel for his brilliant work over the years. I'm very sad (but also happy) that I'm moving over to ProtonMail infrastructure and I can't use Fairmail with that. I sincerely hope Fairemail remains around for a long, long time because it's needed now more than ever with the exponential increases in data harvesting and threats to privacy. All the best for the future.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
ProtonMail seems nice to me, except for the closed nature of the platform.

Migrating to another provider later is possible, but might not be easy.

Just that you are aware of this (I guess you are though).
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
Yes, the closed nature of the platform is its greatest strength and weakness. It hasn't been an easy choice but their VPN service swung it.

A VPN is pretty much mandatory nowadays, with 'free' wi-fi and in the UK every website visit is recorded for 12 months etc. :( You can properly import and *export* now. I was waiting for that to launch before I jumped. However, most of the large 'free' e-mail platforms rate limit things to such an extent its probably not practical for a full scale 'archive' migration.

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Given that I spend about 2 hours each and everyday to answer questions and to look into (presumed) problem, this is still rather frustrating. Things are just out of balance. I shouldn't be a surprise that I am increasingly disappointed by this.
