I have the same error message. Where do I switch this reminder off?

Edit:

Fraschi's error suggestion is better and clearer:

"The default username has not been changed. This is not neccesary."
[Android Apps and Games] SharpHawk:
Please consider making the automatic numbered list feature (introduced in version 1.1020) optional. It forces numbered lists even if the user wants non-numbered ones, creates lists where there shouldn't be one at all (dash before a name, for example), and its effect is not reflected in the email as it is being written (the user only later finds out the email has been tampered with).
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
If I understand this correctly, this switch turns off *all* notifications, including desired ones like forgotten attachments or a forgotten subject. But we only want to turn off this unnecessary (and wrong, see my post #14770) notification. Perhaps a correction of the notification text as I suggested is already sufficient.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I agree.

The other notifications are good.

This one is unnecessary.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will add an option for this. Do you have a suggestion for a title?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will remove the check for the default username, but can you please translate texts as they are and if the original need to be changed let me know? It makes support harder because it results in additional questions like "Did you mean option ...?"
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
I don't know which translation you mean. My original change was in my post #14770.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Okay, no problem then.
[Android Apps and Games] eender:
Is it possible to add an auto update feature? Or at least an option to update the github version inside of the app.

Currently I need to download the newest apk via browser and install it manually. Maybe add an option to the "new update" - Notification to directly install the newest version?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
An app cannot update itself because this would be very insecure. Also, the changelog contains sometimes important information.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
[MENTION=6058946]eender[/MENTION] That answers the auto update question. As for the "installing from browser" question, Oreo split the universal "Install Unknown Apps" setting in Nougat and made it a per app toggle.

Now, it is a Good Thing, that as few apps as possible have the permission to install unknown apks. This gives you better security in case of an issue.

I'm quite sure your browser is used to download and install other apks as well, so it's better that you continue using it. This way you don't need to give yet another app the permission to install unknown apks, creating an additional attack surface, no matter how unlikely it is that such an event comes to pass.

Apart from that, part of continuing to make yourself secure is to ensure that you inspect the source code changes in the new version each time you update. Since most people do not have the ability to do so, the least you could do is read the change log.

[Android Apps and Games] SharpHawk:
Excellent, thanks! Something along the lines of "Format dashes and stars as lists" (enabled by default if you'd like to preserve the current behavior) should do it. The inclusion of the word "list" makes the option easy to find with the search function.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Try the settings search in the latest version ;)
[Android Apps and Games] SharpHawk:
I look forward to it, thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The search dialog currently has two quick search icon buttons, search for unread and search for starred messages. I am planning to add a quick search for messages with a calendar event (ICS file) and messages with a document attached too. If you think something else could be useful, please let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
What is the difference to the quick filter icons at the bottom of the message overview?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Most of the searches can be continued on the server, which is not possible with the filters because they are being applied to messages on the device only. Also, searches from the unified inbox will search through all stored messages of all accounts.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I think the search for starred messages should include colored stars too, not just regular starred.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will add this to my to do list.
[Android Apps and Games] vertigo_2_20:
A few requests/issues:

1) When moving a message, instead of bringing me back to the folder the message was in, like it does when deleting, it shows the collapsed message grayed out.

2) I often start a draft on my phone with the intention of actually writing it on the computer. I don't typically write anything when doing this, since I just want to create it so it's there for when I'm on the computer, along with the to address. But even though I specifically save it, when I back out, it's discarded. And even though it says that, I didn't notice and so several drafts I created are now not there. I'd like it to save, and not discard, even a blank draft when tapping the save button, as well as possibly asking whether to save even when it's blank when backing out of the draft.

3) Even after getting a notification of a new email, sometimes when going into the account soon after, the inbox has to be refreshed for the new mail to show. It should already be showing once the notification is shown.

4) I just moved a message in my Yahoo account from the inbox to another folder, and while it showed as moved in FairEmail, it wasn't moved in the webmail, even after refreshing. Then, a couple minutes later, after backing out of the Yahoo account in FairEmail and trying to go back into its inbox, it just sat loading without opening it, so I eventually closed and reopened the app, and after going back to the Yahoo inbox, the email I moved is now showing in the inbox, indicating it apparently never was moved, and only showed that way in FairEmail until restarting the app.

5) You said before that IMAP doesn't allow searching in all folders, which is why one must be selected when searching on the server, but could FairEmail maybe have an option to just automatically search all folders (loop through them all) and present the combined results?

6) It looks like an undo feature was requested before, and from what I can tell it doesn't look like you plan to add it, but I'd just like to add a +1 to it in case you're keeping track of requests. It would be nice to have a pop-up for ~5 seconds after deleting or moving an email to undo the action.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Grayed (dimmed) means the message is not synchronized with the server yet. The conversation is not closed automatically because it still exists (is not archived or deleted), only the message(s) are moved to a different folder.

Drafts without content (text, attachments) will be discarded automatically because this is what most people want. In the next version messages with a subject will be considered as with content as well, unless the subject starts with Re: or Fwd: (localized).

I never have to refresh a message list to show a new message after a new message notification has appeared. Note that depending on the speed of the device and the number of messages stored it may take a few moments to refresh the message list when you navigate to FairEmail from the recent apps screen. The old list is still being cached and not being updated in the background to not waste battery power on this.

All operations (move, delete, mark read, etc) are queued and executed in the background when there is a connection to the email account. This means that the messages on the server might not be updated immediately. You'll appreciate this when you are offline because you can still move messages, etc, and the server will be updated as soon as you get online.

Many servers cannot even handle searching one folder in a timely manner, so this is not something I am planning to add. It will just result in lots of questions about why searching is so slooooooow.

Undo is available for swipe and a few other actions. All other actions are in one or another way being confirmed, unless you have disabled this.
[Android Apps and Games] vertigo_2_20:
Would it be possible to have it go back to the folder anyway, essentially putting that in the background while it waits to sync?

That should work, since I almost always have a subject when doing this. I'd still like it to show a confirmation asking whether to discard the message if it's blank, though, which could be an option that can be disabled for those that don't want it.

That's probably what it was. This isn't something I've noticed much, it just happened when I was writing the post. It's hard to say, since it might have updated on its own if I'd waited a few more seconds, but it did seem to sit for a while without updating, and didn't update until I manually refreshed it. For now I'll assume it was a one-off thing, especially if nobody else has reported similar issues.

If that were the problem, I'd say that it seems it should perform the sync immediately, or at least fairly quickly, when you are online, though. However, considering the message was never moved, and was back in the inbox after I reloaded FairEmail, it seems there was some other problem. Or maybe not, maybe it was just waiting to sync the change and never got a chance before something else went wrong which required me to reload the app, though a) that comes back to doing the sync faster, and b) it should have remembered the action and recognized it wasn't done and performed it after the reload.

In case you ever consider adding it, I would suggest just allowing the user to select multiple folders instead of just one and showing a warning that it may be slow.

I probably disabled it, since >98% of the time, it just gets in the way and slows things down. That's why I prefer no confirmation with an undo option, so instead of having to confirm 100% of the time, I only have to tap "Undo" <2% of the time.
[Android Apps and Games] harrisc:
The last 5 used folders are shown and are not partial names. Since the user has already used the folder name recently , it's likely that the user would want to use it again.

Why not use this folder when selected from the recent folder list unless it's not unique?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Auto close is for when a conversation is archived or deleted only. A conversation can already contain (previous) messages in another folder and a conversation is principally not linked to a folder (also consider that a conversation can be opened from a notification or widget), so it is not possible to determine if a conversation should be auto closed when messages are moved to a folder.

In the beginning there was a confirmation, but people really hated that, which is also why I am not going to add an option for this.

Actions will always be remembered and executed before a sync operation.

Sorry, I am not going to add this.

You can't have autoclose and undo combined. It is the one or the other.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will put a low priority entry on my to do list for this.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
I think [MENTION=4221563]vertigo_2_20[/MENTION] is right to expect a draft to be saved and retained after clicking on Save, even when it's empty.

I agree and this will be in the next version.

[Android Apps and Games] Hiroo Onoda:
Just noticed that FE notification categories include "Google Play services availability". I hadn't seen that before, I suppose there is some dependency on it then. Why/when was this introduced? And is FE functionality impaired in any way when having Play Services disabled?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail is not linked to any Google service, except for Play billing. So, I am wondering where you see that.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That's not a notification channel created by FairEmail, unless you did name an account like this and created notification channel for it.
[Android Apps and Games] Hiroo Onoda:
I'm just wondering why it's there. Usually only apps with some underlying Play Services dependency have this availability check. And no, I did not name an account Google Play services, why would I do that?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
None of my apps use Play services.

You can check all dependencies here:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/app/build.gradle

So, I have no idea why the notification channel is there.
[Android Apps and Games] Hiroo Onoda:
Yeah I thought so.
[Android Apps and Games] Hiroo Onoda:
Probably. For reference, I'm using a Galaxy 10 latest stock rom (root). Having Play services disabled, I've no apparent issues using FE (as opposed to other apps relying on PS). Just wanted to confirm.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I fully understand that you wanted to confirm this. That is also why I double checked the dependency graph, to make sure that not some library sneaked in a Play services dependency.

Note that Play billing uses a few GMS (=Play services) classes, but is not directly dependent on Play services.

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

The version will always show an undo option after moving messages (including to the trash and archive folder), even when auto closing or navigating to the next or previous message, unless the move was confirmed (which is enabled by default). A conversation will be automatically closed now when there are no more messages in the base folder, which is the folder of the message from which the conversation was opened.

I like to hear feedback on this for now a bit experimental changes. [MENTION=4221563]vertigo_2_20[/MENTION]

[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Sorry to insist but this WHY is annoying. And with the french translation it became bigger.

Another bad point.... If I tap by mistake the WHY while I want to tap another notification, it opens the web browser. (yes that's the goal)

We already have to tolerate the notification of sync, may be it's enough....

Remind me who wrote that :p
[Android Apps and Games] seba3651:
Hey Marcel,

Thanks for your app and your patience.

Using paid version for a few weeks now and discovered a little issue: in mails gh.de the links are not shown. Attached you see same mail, one in fairmail and in k9.

Using v0.71

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
There will be only bug fixes for the time being, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please send me the original message, so I can see why this happens.

In any case, you can use the menu 'Show original' to show the full message.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:

This seems stubborn - Xposed bug?
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Do you want me to share bug report to investigate?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No, because I am pretty sure this is caused by a bug in Xposed. Disable Xposed and you'll know for sure.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will remove the 'why' in the next release.

Thanks for the reminder. All feature requests will be denied from now on, unless it is useful to myself.

Edit: there are just a few hundred people using FairEmail and just a few percent donate or purchase something. This is not enough to keep putting a lot of effort into this project.

[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
Searching from the shared inbox is currently not possible, correct?

Is this planned for the future?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The unified inbox is not a folder on the server, so searching on the server is not possible.
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
But there are locally stored mails I could search through, or am I wrong and miss something?

And if it's not too performance heavy a search from there could search on the server of each account that is in the shared inbox.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The search is search on server. You can always search the individual inboxes. In any case this is not a feature that has my interest, so it will not be added.
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
You should have much more when out of beta. Your app is a must. What about coding a browser after that ? Naked browser is super fast but not focused on privacy and with too much parameters for example.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't think so. FairEmail was on the XDA frontpage, read by about a million people, and still there are just a few hundred people using FairEmail. I see the same with XPrivacyLua. People don't care about their privacy anymore. Too bad, but that's the reality.

I use FairEmail myself, so it will be maintained and supported, but I will only add features which have my own interest.

[bug] Attachment from other app

In "camscanner" (an app to scan photos to PDF), one very useful feature is "email to myself", which creates an email with scanned document, addressed to myself. This works fine with K9 email, but with Fairemail I get an error "Unexpected error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/CamScanner/OCR 2018-09-27 08.24.44.pdf (Permission denied)"
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
"Permission denied" says me that this is not a FairEmail problem, but a CamScanner problem. FairEmail doesn't request storage permissions and no app on recent Android versions should need that. You should ask the CamScanner author to use the storage access framework to share files, which is available since Android KitKat.

[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
A possible bug (or bad setting on my part).

I just created a new mailbox account using the wizard. The setup said it was successfully created.

I sent a test message from that account in FairEmail to another account in FairEmail and it was sent and received correctly.

But, the new account name does not appear in the list of accounts that appears on clicking on the upper left 3 line menu.

Edit

My fault: it does appear but under the domain name alone which is why I did not recognize it. Sorry. I will edit the new account name so I can recognize it.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I create many accounts during testing and I have never seen an account not appear in the navigation menu, so are you sure?

Did you maybe collapse the accounts section at the top of the navigation menu?
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
It was my fault (see edit of my earlier message).

The new account appeared under a name I did not recognize among my 6 other accounts in FairEmail. I have since changed that account's unique name (from the default domain name FE used for it) to another user name so I could easily recognize it.

My fault. Sorry.

[Android Apps and Games] Crunch5:
Hi Marcel,

I just downloaded FairEmail but struggle to get it running: I have two accounts set up, no errors and it is somehow syncing (folders and structure are visible, also number of mails downloaded). I alo have the permanent notification and receive pop-ups for incoming mails.

However when trying to access the inbox (or any other folder actually) all I can see is the circular orange loading animation. I switched to folder view and all of them show a hourglass - tried manual syncing, it then changes to cloud, two arrows, a cross and then back to the hourglass..

Did a reinstall but no success. Also made sure that battery optimization etc. is disabled. Operations (Vorgänge) menu is empty

Edit: On my other account instead of the hourglass I have a black cloud, same problem with the loading animation though. Thank you!

It seems to me that the email server of one of your accounts does not support push messages. You can check that in the account settings: Setup, step 1, tap Manage.

In particular "dinosaur" Yahoo and AOL do not support push messages.
[Android Apps and Games] Crunch5:
Wow, that was a quick reply!

You are absolutely right, my university-adress does not support push. I removed the account and now its working!

However I need this email, I scanned the FAQ but could not find the right answer: Is it possible to use this account with FairEmail?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can just use this account, but FairEmail will periodically check for message instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Crunch5:
Sorry to ask, but how do I use both accounts then?

I added the non-push account again, but now cant use the push account anymore (constant loading). I tried to change syncing from "always" to 15 min while keeping the checkbox for always syncing on the push account, but had no sucess.
