Thanks, that should work too. One other thing I noticed, just for academic purposes :) The condition :

AND received < :before

in deleteMessagesBefore seems useless to me since there is also

AND stored < :before

Now, received will always come before stored (received < stored), so the "received" condition will always be true if the stored condition is true, and irrelevant if the stored condition is false. It's not a bug per say, I just want to check if my reasoning is correct!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you move a message, the stored time will be updated to keep the message around longer because else it might disappear right away, depending on the folder settings.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The average Play store rating went down from near 4.8 to near 4.6 today in a few weeks, which is pretty frustrating. Today alone the decrease was 0.01 0.017. Multiply this with 10 days and you'll see that this is rather bad.

Just now there was a 1 star rating (English) because battery optimizations needed to be disabled. This will even be worse on Android 12 because the app won't work properly anymore without disabling battery optimizations.

https://developer.android.com/about...ges-12#foreground-service-launch-restrictions

Google pushes developers to using the work manager, which won't work for things which need to active all the time, like receiving messages, for example. The only way around this is to disable battery optimizations.

This all is not very motivating. Some people are rather harsh and unfriendly. Sometimes I think they deserve their privacy to be robbed.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The decrease today is now 0.016 0.017 and my motivation is down accordingly.

Edit: until I am feeling less unhappy about this, there will be bug fixing only for now.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Version 1.1570 is available on GitHub now and in the Play store test program after Google's approval.

Changelog/download:

This version was released to fix the message list scrolling back to the top on closing a conversation, which was the result of fixing scroll issues of conversations.

I did another downgrade round for April reviews in the play store which have less than 4 stars. I want to comment the attached feedback: did you benchmark the setup of other clients? This is something which is mentioned very often.

Bernd
[Android Apps and Games] mkasimd:
That review talks about MyMail from My.com B.V., a 100% subsidiary of mail.ru (Russia) and a spyware that is accused of stealing the users' mail account credentials including the passwords. FairEmail doesn't do such an a**holery. So I'm not sure inhowfar MyMail is supposed to be better than FairEmail..

Here a source on that claim: https://mobilsicher.de/ratgeber/apps-gecheckt-diese-7-e-mail-apps-lesen-mit
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Hi, I am not talking about or want compare security features but want to highlight the ease of setup. This is mentioned very often in the reviews. Just my observation
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Like my answer says: I don't see how the setup can be any simpler than with the quick setup wizard.

The quick setup wizard can't work always though and people are very impatient, which probably explains this kind of reviews.

They will have the same problem with other apps, so I guess more than one developer will be unhappy.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Although I am still pretty unhappy about the reviews, the next version will have a new option to auto update the Disconnect's Tracker Protection lists weekly. This will be useful for myself too.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Here, Automagic or MacroDroid does this automatically, but if this function is built in, it is of course even easier.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is available in the just released GitHub version 1.1571 now ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] Mikirok:
I cant configure yahoo mail how to fix?

Thx in advance
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Did you use the quick setup wizard for Yahoo?
[Android Apps and Games] Mikirok:
Let me see this step

sorry for my bad english
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Tap on the wizard button in the main setup screen and select Yahoo and follow the steps.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikirok:
First option in main menu?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Navigation menu (left side menu), tap Settings, tap the wizard button, select Yahoo and follow the steps.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikirok:
fast configuration? app show in my language (spanish)
[Android Apps and Games] Mikirok:
first option (dont show yahoo mail)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is a rather old version of FairEmail. Please update.

Tap on 'Comenzar' and select Yahoo.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikirok:
Ok I update now new release
[Android Apps and Games] Mikirok:
thanks for the help I updated app and work fine
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
When I saw that the latest update allows "automatic updates" I got excited. With github updates coming daily I welcomed having the option to have GitHub updates installing automatically. It would save me a lot of time since I always update FairEmail. But I see that the automatic updates is for "lists". I am not sure what lists refers to (account folders?). I wish there was an option to update GitHub FairEmail automatically. Would be very useful as an option.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
...

Apps cannot update themselves for security reasons (to prevent updating to a malicious version). So, this is not possible.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Absolutely! I agree .
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
But playstore allows auto updates. Why not github?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Special Google powers ...

In fact: Google can remotely install or uninstall any app, did you know that?
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
yes , i inserted my sdcard into my brorher's stock phone to install an app. google did not like the app and it was magically gone from his phone in less than 12 hrs.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
There is an option for message classification which is activated on my phone. Furthermore there is an option with experimental features. This is deactivated. Message classification is listed as experimental feature. Is it now active or not?

What does classification exactly? Is it the suggestions for moving the messages in a folder?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will make do

If you tap on the info button in the miscellaneous settings, there will be an explanation. It is an experimental option, but it isn't enabled/disabled with the experimental options switch.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
ok marcel , have "down-voted" all playstore reviews (u.s.) with 3 star or lower ratings covering april of this year. truly hope it helps.:good:
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
How do you 'downvote'? What foes that mean? I would like to do the same.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
The version with 71 at the end hasn't made it in the play store, yet. Did you forgot to release there?
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
on the right side of a review is a 3 dot drop down menu , click on "not helpful".
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I do not release all GitHub versions into the Play store. See the release announcement for where a release is available.

Building and releasing takes 15-20 minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Version 1.1572 is available on GitHub now and after Google's approval in the Play store test program @topcaser

Changelog/download:

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

When the language is German or French (all variants), the translated FAQ will be used now. I like to hear if the redirect works properly for everybody, so please try the support menu item in the navigation menu and also an info button in the settings to navigate to a specific FAQ.

The next GitHub update notification will show two actions. Manage to change the update check frequency in the miscellaneous settings and Download to directly download the APK file. You are still advised to read the changelog though because sometimes there is important information, like a version being experimental.
[Android Apps and Games] Friedel25:
(y) I do the same ("not helpful") for the German Playstore.

It is also helpful to rate extensive 5-star reviews as helpful. When sorting by "most relevant", the first 3-star review is on position 143. And the first 1-star review on position 285.

"Report as inappropriate" or "Report as spam" unfortunately seems to have no effect. Google ignores it.
[Android Apps and Games] mkasimd:
The FAQ links when pressing the "?" next to the wizard are still in English btw. I marked the links in the attached pic.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will see if this can be changed by rewriting the links. Thanks for bringing this up.
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
The French FAQ is now accessible, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I just downvoted all 1 star reviews and upvoted the 5 stars.

I have to say I've never seen an app with so many 5 stars. One after the other after the other, after the other....! Amazing! And well deserved.

And Marcel answered so many reviews too. Whether 5 star or less. How does Marcel find time to eat and sleep?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks.

You might want to vote down the just arrived 1 star rating "Assitant x wife" too.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Done.

I have a question to the Googles safe browsing list. I deactivated it because I don't want Google to track me. Saying this I wondered why this option is in fairmail, a client which promises privacy.

I then performed a websearch and found this on and webpage which does a lot for privacy.

FairEmail: Google Safebrowsing aktiv

Seit der Version 1.1045 hat der Android E-Mail-Client FairEmail Google Safebrowsing aktiviert. Nach meiner Ansicht passt dies nicht zu einem…

www.kuketz-blog.de

I am now unsure what's more safe. I spent some personal thoughts and came to the conclusion that it's more safe to deactivate this option rather than being tracked by Google. It's probably more safe to review the links you click on.

What do you think about this and how did you setup this function?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have the same question as you: on one hand it might help and on the other hand data is sent to Google. I don't know what is better.

Google safe browsing is disable by default though.
[Android Apps and Games] nubla:
I noticed lately that the flashing notification LED (yellow) for new emails is changing to red after a few minutes. Tapping to wake the screen makes it turn yellow again, then after some time it becomes red again.

Is this maybe a bug (or a strange feature??) in FairEmail (v1.1567 from F-Droid)? Or could it be a bug in my /e/ ROM? Both were updated recently so it's hard to tell.

Or maybe I messed up some settings? If there is there a setting for the notification LED color I can't seem to find it.

I just love FairEmail. It's my most used app, and such a joy to use! I donated to get Pro even though I don't use Pro features.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please see this FAQ about the notification light:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq21

Basically, apps do not have control over notification properties (sound, light, vibration, etc) after being installed, which is to put you into control and not apps.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Do you activate it?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No, because I think I can judge myself.
[Android Apps and Games] nubla:
Thanks, I noticed that FAQ but it has me confused. I did not find a way to change the LED color in the android settings. Plus other current apps, for example Signal, have options to change the LED color, sound, vibration, etc from within the app settings.

Is there a default expected LED notification color for FairEmail? Is it possible to specify a different color per email account?

The LED color changing from yellow to red to yellow for the same notification is very recent, and unfortunately I don't know what caused this new behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Other apps might create a notification channel for each light color, but this is for FairEmail not feasible, considering that there can be a notification channel per account, folder and sender already. Multiply this by the number of light colors and it will be unmanageable.

The default light color is yellow, which can be requested once only on installing the app. After that it needs to be changed via the Android app/notification settings.
[Android Apps and Games] nubla:
Ok this makes sense and is understandable.

Default is yellow. Good to know. Maybe something about this got messed up during the ROM update. I might try uninstalling and reinstalling FairEmail.

I might be missing something obvious, but where in the Android app/notification settings can the LED color be changed?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you tap on the second button in the notification settings of the app, the right Android notification channel settings will be opened. How these settings look, depend on the Android version. Mostly you need to tap on the channel name before the switch for more options.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just uploaded a test version of FairEmail with different OAuth scopes for Microsoft:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/releases/download/1.1572/FairEmail-v1.1572-oauth-github-release.apk

Edit: this is available in version 1.1573 now.

I like to hear if somebody can authorize an Outlook (not Office 365) account using the Office 365 wizard (not the Outlook wizard).

Authorizing an Office 365 account with the Office 365 wizard should still work, but you might want to check that too.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Maybe it's good to add an explicit warning that this option impacts the user's privacy. URLs are not hashed, so the server knows which URLs you look up.
[Android Apps and Games] nubla:
I'm on a custom /e/ ROM based on Android 9. I found those notification settings for sound, vibrate, blinking light, showing the notification dot, but nothing about color.

Ultimately though, I'm happy with the default yellow color. I just find it so strange for the LED to change colors mid-notification. Have you heard of this before?
[Android Apps and Games] mkasimd:
I believe to remember that the safebrowsing data can also be downloaded and used from a local database instead of sending requests to Google for each URL. That is probably a bit too much for an email client and a task that should be done network-wide instead just on a single device, but a feature that could be enabled by choice without sending possibly sensitive information to Google (just not as a default option of course).

I'm just not sure inhowfar the hassle of implementing it plus the toll on the device (increased data and disk space usage) would be justified, though. Instead, anybody worried about that should install a pfSense or OPNSense firewall into the netwoork with some squid proxy intercepting all traffic and scanning against the local safebrowsing database if that's a huge problem for them instead of expecting it from an email client.. Just my two cents on this.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
hello @M66B or anyone else that might know. i am on latest github v. of FE with auto-sync disabled. yet everytime i open the app it immediately begins to sync instead of waiting for me to "pull down to refresh/sync". anyone have an idea how to stop this auto-sync upon opening?

thanks for reading any help/suggestions ,

dave
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have not heard of this before.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have looked into this before, but there was a reason why this wasn't going to work for FairEmail. I can't remember the reason though because it was quite a while ago.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There is an option to initiate a sync on opening the app in the behavior settings (first option). Maybe you've enabled this?
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Hi, how are does the archive button works? First I have assumed that the email is moved to a folder but the folder dialog isn't opening. Is it possible to reconfigure the behaviour?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The archive button will move the message/conversation to the archive folder selected in the account settings.

By default you'll need to confirm this, but you can disable this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will show in red "The Google server knows which addresses are being looked up".

I still like to hear if OAuth of Outlook works okay. I cannot test this with my account (a developer account) and I am not allowed to create multiple accounts, which would also be risky considering that OAuth depends on my developer account.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
"synch on start" is off. what if i changed "snooze time" to 999 hours.? or any other suggestions?

p.s. ty for such quick responses. :)
[Android Apps and Games] mkasimd:
Marcel, I got a question that might be of general interest, so asking here instead of via mail. Did you change some default values some time v1.1570 or later? For a few versions now, I realize different behavior.

For instance, a while ago the app started showing mails in a two column portrait mode. I thought I turned it on accidentally some time and turned it off. Then now I relized that replies are sent in the bottom instead of above the original message as done previously.

If this wasn't a change made by you, but something I accidentally switched, all fine. But if you did change the defaults, could you make it so that the changes do not apply to existing users? Cause after a long time using the app, I have it working to my taste and a change to that is just annoying a great deal.

Also, where can I set it up that replies are sent above the original message? (Nevermind, found it)
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Here are always replies above the original mail - if sorting isn't changed.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Is receiving disabled in the receive settings?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The defaults were not changed. You can change the reply location in the send settings.
[Android Apps and Games] nubla:
Thanks. I think it's not due to FairEmail, and might be an issue with my ROM or something else.
[Android Apps and Games] no.one.writeme:
Hi @M66B ,

Just an heads up.

I have a Hotmail account with 2FA via Microsoft Authenticator.

Just setup that account with OAuth and authorized via presented steps by FairEmail and it is working like my other Gmail accounts.

Hope that was the feedback your are looking for.

Best regards.

Luis
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That's nice to hear. Was this a @hotmail.com address?
[Android Apps and Games] no.one.writeme:
Correct.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That's useful information because I though it was for @outlook.* addresses only.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
yes sir it is. maybe i will update my rom (currently on 7.1.1) or my phone. lol
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If receiving is disabled and checking for new messages on start is disabled, nothing should happen if you open the app.

Note that if you mark a message read, etc, the change will always be applied to the email server too. Is this maybe what you are seeing?

Also, opening the app will always start the sync service to check if something needs to be done. This doesn't mean that something will be done though.

Please reproduce this and send me the debug info by long pressing 'Support' in the navigation menu.

Hi Marcel,

I was able to connect to my outlook work email using Oauth. The email address has my company name, not outlook.com.

Is there any way to run a separate instance of fairemail with separate configuration so I can keep my work email separate from my other emails?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Is this about an Outlook or Office 365 account?

You can create an Android work profile and install the app another time. Please see here:

What is an Android Work Profile? - Android Enterprise Help

Android 5 or later devices only An Android Work Profile can be set up on an Android device to separate work apps and data from personal apps and data. With a Work Profile you can securely and private

support.google.com
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
You already keep the mails separately because you probably have them in two separate accounts. You don't need to use the collective inbox in FE.
[Android Apps and Games] jw111:
I have a lot of email accounts so I like using the collective inbox for all of my personal accounts.

I realize that I can exclude my work acct from the inbox and then access it via the list of accounts in the menu but I would end up not checking it.

Back when I used K9 mail they had a screen option where one could have a list of accounts in the main screen and also a line to click on to access the combined inbox. This would be ideal for me but I do not think that Marcel wants to do this.

Otherwise, a way to switch back and forth between account list and combined inbox list would be nice but Marcel did not want to add that.

Right now I use the Outlook app for my work email

I do not see a specific option in Intune to add a work profile.

The other issue with switching from Outlook to Fairemail for my work email is that I manage my calendar in Outlook and I do not think Marcel wants to do a calendar application.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you long press on the inbox in the folder list of the account, you can remove it from the unified inbox and add it to the navigation menu. I guess this is what you want.

Android has a decent calendar app and else there are plenty of calender apps to choose from in the Play store or F-Droid. Note that FairEmail has calendar integration where needed.
