Is it possible to massage stay unread after reading? I have one acc that i periodical chack form phone, and form pc. I dont want to message stay read when i chacked it form phone.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can disable automatically mark messages as read on expanding via the account options (so per account). You can go to the account options via "Manual setup and account options" in the main settings screen.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
Or @bataya makes a double click on the mail after reading, then it is unread again (if set accordingly).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Or use the envelope icon button at the bottom right of the message text.

[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
The past week I switched to unified inbox for the start page:

Today when I pull to refresh all inboxes, it only did 2 out of the 5:

When I went to folder and pulled to refresh, it worked.

But, sometimes in unified inbox not all folders are refreshed:

(All timings should be the same)

It usually refreshes all 5 inboxes in one go, but sometimes only a few are actually checked
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Is synchronization for all inboxes enabled? To check: long press on the inbox in the folder list of the account. You can go to the folder list of an account by tapping on the account name in the navigation menu (left side menu).
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
No, I guess that was the issue.

But, I am not sure why it only enforced this today.

As more than once it used to synch all 5

Anyway, thank you

It is back to normal now, after checking the box for the other 3 inboxes
[Android Apps and Games] otiel:
Is it possible to create a time-based rule to silence notification for a specific sender?

For instance, I wish to disable notifications between 8:00 and 18:00 for mails received from someone@example.org.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, this is possible, and in fact, this allows me to sleep, while still being notified of important messages (from family members, etc.).

Please see this FAQ about filter rules:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq71
[Android Apps and Games] otiel:
Thank you, I missed that. Perfect. 👍
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Regarding the latest test version 1.2003d: did you notice that the launcher icon changed?
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
No, since I am using a theme anyway
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
No.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
It got a bit more skinny (y)
[Android Apps and Games] de_Wolf:
I consciously notice at least no change. What has changed?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
On recent Android versions, there is a slight color gradient for the background color from the top left to the bottom right.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
I can't see that with Nova launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] otiel:
If I want to snooze messages between work hours on every week day, I need to create 5 rules, right?

This does match messages from 8:00 on Monday to 18:00 on Wednesday ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You'll need to create five rules.

Note that you can long press on a rule in the rule list to copy it.
[Android Apps and Games] tkalfaoglu:
Great app. I registered and dumped my old email program very quickly!

Can't figure out how to change the browser used in email links however.

It uses a simple browser with only 3 options, how can I force it to use Firefox?

Couldn't find it in the faq..

I can see it on Android 13 on an Samsung S22. :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Do you think it is an improvement?

The idea is to make a deliberately dull icon a little bit less dull.
[Android Apps and Games] The_Two:
Yes, for me it looks a little bit more modern. I never had a problem with the old one, but it nicely stand out a little bit without disturbing the design.

Hello,

Asking about the Contributors section, in Italian localization I don't see Italian contributor listed there, and only a partial list of contributors, I am talking about the Info section.

Would be possible to rework that in a way that point to crowdin or anything else, in order that is updated the same way is the changelog for the versions?

This version fixes all reported bugs and adds searching again on the server in another account/folder.
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Hi, I selected in the editor to encrypt my message with smime. In the sending dialogue which pops up after editing, this wasn't selected any more. I am on the newest bitbucket test version. Is this a known bug?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am routinely sending S/MIME signed and encrypted messages, and I don't see this behavior.

Is there a public key available for all recipients?
[Android Apps and Games] topcaser:
Okay, tried it again and here are the steps to reproduce it:

1. Select a recipient

2. Select smime encryption via icon

3. Click in the subject field

Now the encryption (green icon) is gone. I then click again on the encryption icon, click in the recipient field and then again in the subject field - > again gone
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That might be correct, if there is no public key available for all recipients of the message because in that case the message can't be encrypted.

Edit: I guess you enabled the option "Automatically encrypt when all recipients' keys are available".
[Android Apps and Games] azooooooooo:
Can't find the way to stop fetch emails. I edit the properties and still my emails increase and not stop.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you want to stop receiving messages, you should disable receiving in the receive settings tab page.

[Android Apps and Games] VirtualWaver:
Hi Marcel,

I am a long-time FairEmail user and absolutely love everything about it. Its simply the best mobile email client out there.

However, I am having issues with adding Office 365 account and hoping you could shed some light please.

I tap to Wizard, then select Outlook/Office 365 (OAuth) then fill in my email address and tap to Authorize. It redirects me to Microsoft website where I enter my password and then it is asking if I want to add FairEmail, I tap to Yes. It redirects back to FairEmail but nothing happens afterwards - FairEmail doesn't add the account.

When I look to my Office 365 account, it clearly shows that FairEmail was authorized.

Can you please advise how to resolve this? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Where are you getting redirected back into FairEmail? Which version of the app are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] VirtualWaver:
I am getting redirected to app's home page (where it displays all my active accounts). It asks for biometrics as I use biometrics login and once I tap to biometrics, it just shows app's home page with my active email accounts.

I am using version 1.2002a Ninjatitan, downloaded directly from your Github repo.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Try to disable biometric authentication (privacy settings tab page). This is probably the cause.
[Android Apps and Games] VirtualWaver:
Thanks a million, this sorted the issue! Have a lovely evening!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will see if I can find a workaround for this, and if this isn't possible, add a warning about this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Version 1.2007b is available now when test versions are enabled in the miscellaneous settings of the latest GitHub version.

All reported bugs have been fixed, and the scrolling of original message view has been improved.
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
Hello,

Being honest I just read about this mail app. earlier this morning and it really peaked my interest as I've been looking for an application like this where I can view my email accounts in on central place without having to go to utilize separate applications for all of my email providers. As I've always liked trying new & different things I decided to go ahead and install the latest beta version of the app. to see how I like it. I'm still learning how to properly use the app., but one setting that I've already changed is the one concerning being able to view images that are contained in my messages. I'm thinking that if I reach a point while using the app. that for some unknown reason I don't seem to like the functionality anymore I can just simply uninstall the app.

David
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Of course, you can, but give it a chance, and you might like the app. In any case, your privacy will be served.

Please be aware that images can be used to track you, please see this FAQ for more information:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq35
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
Thanks so much for your quick response, in addition to using your fairemail app. I was also trying out the duckduckgo app tracking application that's now in beta stage, it seemed to function pretty well but I discovered that some sites weren't loading properly so I disabled the app tracking protection.

David
[Android Apps and Games] mithrial:
Generally, if a page doesn't work if you want to preserve your privacy, you shouldn't be using that page in the first place.

Thumbs up to Fairmail.

(I have just scheduled an email to be sent tomorrow morning. With all the battery-saving and sleep-time settings, let's hope for the best it will actually be sent 👍)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It will, but please make sure battery optimizations are disabled via setup step 3.
[Android Apps and Games] AnonVendetta:
@M66B just wanted to say thanks for this app. The more I use it the more appreciative I am. So far I'm managing 5 accounts and will soon add another. The unified inbox makes it so much easier, much less effort than checking them individually, or logging into the Web versions. The only issue I had was hundreds of pending operations after adding the last account. They did eventually finish but it took seemingly forever for each to finish. Resolved by cleaning up that account's folders and deleting old stuff that's not really needed anymore.

I still have yet to explore the advanced options/settings in detail, I'll get to that. Does this app integrate with Tasker in any way?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can broadcast intents with a filter rule and Tasker can receive them.

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq71
[Android Apps and Games] mithrial:
Worked perfectly.

I especially appreciate it the text: "wird ungefähr um 07:00 gesendet". I wondered what range it will end up with but it was sent at exactly 07:00:00.

Thanks!

The Android timer can trigger plus/minus a few minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
Hi,

Thanks for informing me about viewing the images that are contained in my messages, I guess that's just a risk that I'll currently have to take or your app really won't be much use to me because I'm used to viewing the images in my messages going through the regular means.
[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
I thought the same thing and now I've been on it for over a year. I left the other email apps I was using because the developers weren't listening to the users about bugs and other problems. This is the best email app developer I've had to deal with and get things fixed fairly quickly.
[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
If that was true none of us would be using the internet. Almost every web page is tracking you. I personally use Brave browser to protect me on the web save Fairemail to protect my email. I have been using the duckduckgo VPN feature to block everything else.
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
It's seeming like I'm loving this app the more I use and continue to figure out all of it's many features and settings. The one setting that I haven't been able to find as of yet is to how to make the app so that it doesn't check for new messages quite so often.

David
[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
Edit the folder properties (I'm not sure you can do this at account level but you can at folder level so maybe the inbox) and check "Check periodically instead of continuous synchronize" then you can select how many times in a 13 minute period it can sync.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can configure the check frequency in the receive settings tab page, or use @chris122380 suggestion to do this on folder level.
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
Thanks so much for your timely reply, now I'm going to enjoy using the app even more than I already was. 🙂
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
I'm sure that user @chris122380 suggestion would probably do what I'm desiring to do, but at least for now I'm utilizing the check frequency in the receive settings tab page, I currently have that set to check for new messages every 15 minutes. Of course by changing this setting from the default I've discovered that my regular gmail app notifies me ahead of the fairemail app, but I'm thinking that at least currently that's not a big deal for me. I'm still enjoying the use of this GREAT application !
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can, if you wish, make an exception a little lower for one or more accounts.
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
You should be praised for being not only a great developer of a wonderful email application, but also a very responsive one to a users questions !! :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
IMHO an app without maintenance and support is worthless, which is why I take both seriously.

Some people complain about too many releases, not understanding that an app like this is rather complex, running in a problematic environment. Android is full of bugs (there are literally hundreds of thousands open issues in the Android bug tracker), and unfortunately, email servers and other email clients are not bug free either, not to say broken beyond repair in some cases. Example: the new Yahoo email server supports IMAP IDLE now, but disconnects after five minutes. That ain't gonna work!

FairEmail will inevitably have bugs too, but IMHO the way how this is being dealt with is what counts.

What's most frustrating for me is that people rate 1 star in the Play store, without contacting me first. Besides that the app is often not the cause of the problem, I do not get a chance to look into it this way. I guess they dump their partner too for one wrong word ...
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
I'm so glad that you mentioned play store ratings, since I'm 73+ years old, I actually can't remember if I have taken the time to rate your great app or not. But I can assure you I will give your app a five star rating, when I give an app a rating I'm somewhat different than some other users might be due to the fact that I try and look at the 'complete' picture, like how well the app functions, to what level the app developer interacts with the user if needed, etc.

[Android Apps and Games] micgeb:
How can I view the whole source code of an email?

Edit: I found it. Better translation is "Quelltext anzeigen".
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can view the headers of a message, the HTML of a message, or save the raw message file of a message in EML format via the horizontal three-dots menu just above the message text near the left side. You might need to tap on the ">" button to show the message actions again.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Message headers are only part of the message source (=raw message). So, this translation seems correct to me.
[Android Apps and Games] micgeb:
In every other e-mail program it says: Show source code, but not in Fairemail. This is confusing, but no matter, the main thing is that this function is available. Thanks

benbloggt.wordpress.com

Apps like Spark store your messages on their servers first too. In addition the former author of Aquamail is busy implementing the same.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Yes. I was a former user of AquaMail and shifted to FairEmail once it was sold. Till that time the original developer of AquaMail was very much against cloud based solutions. Shocking to see that he has also started with a cloud based email app.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Also I guess Marcel doesn't sleep any more. It is not even proper morning in the Netherlands;)
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
This is not correct, because 'source code' always shows you the whole mail (in FE RAW mail), and not only the headers.

Would someone please be so kind and show me in detail how to get to this menu? That would be nice, thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
You need to scroll this menu-part to see the rest.

It's a pity that the sidebar is no longer permanently visible as it used to be, then you could see right away that the menu still goes on.
[Android Apps and Games] de_Wolf:
That's it, thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
In my opinion, the sidebar should be permanently visible in all menus again, and preferably in yellow again, so that it is not so easily overlooked.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Nothing was changed to the navigation menu (left sidebar). Did you maybe unpin it? Or disabled 'fixed navigation menu' in the display settings?
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
I mean the right scroll sidebar in all menus!
[Android Apps and Games] de_Wolf:
You're right, I just noticed that, the right scroll bar fades out after a few seconds. A pernatent display would make sense from my point of view.
[Android Apps and Games] fraschi51:
It was also permanently visible in the past.

Hi,

I'm currently utilizing the latest beta version (1.2008) on my android phone that's currently running version 12 of android. I just checked in the display area of settings and I didn't see the 'fixed navigation menu' option in that area. Of course it's possible that I might have overlooked it. :-(
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
That's correct: use the pin in at the top of the navigation menu instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
The pin option worked perfectly, thanks so very much for everything that you do !!
[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
I came from AquaMail as well but you're misinformed to think it does anything cloud based. I left because they basically have no interest in fixing bugs and as of Android 12 will randomly sometimes quite syncing.

I think it's a joke that Mozilla and Thunderbird think that K9 is at all a useful email client. It lacks a lot of the important email features found elsewhere.

I stumbled upon Fairemail and am planning on using it as long as I can.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The old AquaMail app doesn't use cloud services, but the original author is busy creating a new app which does.
[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
That's correct and subscription based. I have enough subscriptions I don't need a simple one like this. I also don't see how any developer thinks that it's a good idea for security or for the safety of their business to store users emails. It's just a lawsuit waiting to happen.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Even more worrying is that the credentials of the accounts need to be stored too, else no messages can be fetched.
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
What is surprising is that most new apps are cloud based and there are only very few email apps that are not proxy server based. FairEmail is obviously one of them.
