Hi, small issue that is not a big deal at all, the " th " here: " 30th " apeears big instead of small.

It is correctley on top but I think it needs decrease in font.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No, I can't because not all characters are allowed. I might be able to improve this, but I haven't been able to find conclusive documentation about which characters are allowed in file names.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not sure what you mean, so can you please post a screenshot?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
[MENTION=4237286]白い熊[/MENTION] can you please contact me for a test version? You can use 'Report issue' in the main navigation menu for his.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Same thing for me too Marcel. I used to get a popup about a new version as soon as I opened FairEmail. Now, if I don't read the XDA thread I don't know that a new version is available. The earlier update notification was better.

Edit

All notifications are on except dot notification.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Only the presentation was changed from dialog to notification. The update check itself was not changed. So, please double check if the 'notification' channel is enabled, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
All notifications are on except dot notification.

What do you mean by notification channel? Is it something else?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Try long pressing 'About'.

The list below 'Other' are notification channels.

The next version will have a separate notification channel for updates.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Long pressing about just brings me back to the unified inbox. Nothing else appears. There is no 'list'.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Can please long press 'About' again and send me immediately after that the debug info by long pressing 'Support' ?
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
OK.

Done.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The debug info says you are using the latest version (currently 1.555), which is why there won't be an update notification.
[Android Apps and Games] steakhutzeee:
Don't know what I did, i have both my inboxes set to 1/60.

Now in my inboxes appeared also the other messages I have in Gmail with the icon of the messages I ve searched, don't remember how is called. How can I just delete them from the view without deleting them from the server?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am going to remove poll support in the next release because I don't want to encourage using old, battery intensive protocols. I am aware that Yahoo! doesn't support IMAP IDLE. This is a problem of the provider, not of the app. I already have had questions about emails notifications being delayed, so whatever I do, I will get questions about this anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] glops:
Hello,

[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]

- if possible to display email box in the menu even if the automatic syncronization is disabled in the configuration settings (for email boxe that do not support IDLE to save battery) and have the ability to sync manually (for example just pulling the upper part of the eran)

- ability to edit user folders (renamed, create or delete)

- to choose the emails boxes to display in the unified box or disable the unified box
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Feature requests here are soon buried under new comments, so please go here:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/issues
[Android Apps and Games] BunnyWarrior:
I think this is the right thing to do. Sometimes you need to cut loose ends and move on. There is no sense in providing support for unencrypted connections or unsafe protocols at all and the same goes for outdated functions and features. If every program/app tries to provide support for the complete range of old software nothing will change. Just write a big fat "DO NOT USE THIS APP IF YOUR PROVIDER DOES NOT SUPPORT IDLE" as first sentence in the description and there is nothing anyone can blame on you. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Actually, suggestions for texts like this are very welcome. For both the description of the app and in app notices.
[Android Apps and Games] glops:
Ok it is done

Thank you for your excellent work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
Before FairEmail, i have used several apps, from K9 to Aquamail lately.

I didn't like apps polling servers behind my back, eating battery, neither i used unified inbox.

Your app is so smooth, so easy on battery, that i'm now using it as a daily driver for my most used accounts. I keep Aquamail "in backup".

So, thanks Marcel ! And keep adding new functions, and build new releases :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks.

Although I am using FairEmail as my main email app now too, be aware that FairEmail is still in beta testing phase.
[Android Apps and Games] minidou-77:
It is still in beta but it is incredible how I don't want to use other apps any more.

It is truly refreshing to see someone building lightweight apps that gets the job done.

The f-droid link is broken here.

Anyway thank you very much for your work. 10€ donation incoming ♥

EDIT : I made two 6€ donations because in-app purchase is quite handy.

Have you considered adding an "undo" button when deleting or archiving an email? It is pretty easy to select the wrong email or to mis-swipe

EDIT II : have you considered adding a "with no advertising" in the feature list? It is a strong point imo

PR incoming

EDIT III: How do you consider to manage providers? Today the list is small but do you just want to keep main providers or do you want the biggest list possible with a search fonction?
[Android Apps and Games] Ikzy:
Great app so far. Everything works flawless.. Hoping for some more visual feedback on the swipes ( red background with trashcan) and maybe options for what swipes do. (mark unread, flag/star, archive, delete, quick reply). The undo is also a great addition

Thanks marcel, will purchase soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] Pires_7:
Any plans on adding ActiveSync?
[Android Apps and Games] AgustinH:
1 - Don't know why in gmail account swipe right goes to another folder

2 - Where? I get Gmail or Outlook

3 - I have a LeEco Le Max 2, in wich system works similar to Xiaomi devices, I have to allow that the app launch automatically to receive notifications. I'm continue to testing this, because last night I was with 94 per cent of battery and this morning I woke up with 88. It's not bad but I was with an average of 3 per cent of iddle drain battery by night.

4 - In some mails I have an imagen on the email, not as an attachment, so I have a button "Show images" and nothing happen

Anyway, I like it
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thank for your support.

Undo: see comment #3

No advertising: thanks.

Manage providers: I don't know yet.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
All things have their own time. This app isn't finished yet.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
My error: swipe left = trash; swipe right = archive (if available, else trash). There was a message about this that you confirmed with 'I understand'.

I don't think the idle drain is caused by FairEmail, unless you are using a provider without IDLE support like Yahoo! Support for providers without IDLE support will be removed in the next version as stated earlier today.

Images: I don't think nothing happens. Either you get the image after downloading, which can take some time if it is large, or you get a warning triangle the download failed.
[Android Apps and Games] AgustinH:
Thanks! About images, is not that I download images from attachment and it's good. Is if the image is in the email and not as an attachment that doesn't load
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Images in emails need to be downloaded too. This is what happens if you click 'Show images'.
[Android Apps and Games] AgustinH:
That's right, until now the emails with images in the email and clicking in Show images, doesn't download anything. I'll continue testing to tell you another issue or something. But really, I like very much the app
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Aren't there warning triangles?
[Android Apps and Games] AgustinH:
I'll see again and tell you

No, just stays there
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
But that is because I updated after reading the XDA thread and then updated after reading a new version was out. That is how I found up about the last 2 updates. Nothing appeared elsewhere and when catching up on the XDA thread I would discover about the updates.

Are you saying that now the user needs to regularly 'manually' check for new updates? If so, I liked the dialog method better.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Long press the folder and select 'Delete browsed/searched messages'.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The update check was not changed, so updates will be automatically checked for as before.
[Android Apps and Games] steakhutzeee:
When I do that, fairemail asks for delete them from the server too, and I can only select, ok or retry.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I don't want to press the point too much but you need to know.

I realize the update check by FE has not changed. But the *notification* of the last 2 updates did not popup like they used to. I understand that you changed the notification to the 'update channel'. I just don't know what the update channel means. How do I now get notified? I was not notified at all and only discovered they existed by reading XDA.

As I said, I liked the dialog method better because this way there is a delay. Just FYI.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Updates wil be automatically checked for about each for hours as before and the only change is that the dialog has been replaced by a status bar notification.
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
That's right — differs by system, but mostly the thinking goes: the attachment was sent having some name on the sender's system — so mostly should be valid on Android. It surely doesn't have a problem with Unicode, spaces and so. It would have a problem with colons and slashes, but so then usually would the sender's system — so the attachments aren't going to have those in their name anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The supported Android versions should all support UTF-8 filenames, so basically only NUL and backslash are not allowed:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/commit/b56d29572329ee17ea04d8e268d4c7d7c096751b
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
Testing it now — how do I resync the synced folders, so that it updates the /data/user/0/…/attachments files since they are stored there with the underscores from the prior versions and I get a Java file IO error that the attachment file doesn't exist — as now it tries to access the previously downloaded email attachments using the UTF-8 filename now…
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Long press folder, delete local messages, synchronize now.
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
It's working fine with CJK filenames! :@)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks for testing.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.556

Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases

This version should keep swiped away messages hidden on synchronizing.

If you don't get an update notification, be aware that FairEmail checks for updates at most once each 4 hours only.

You can manually check for updates by long pressing 'About' (not in the Play store version).
[Android Apps and Games] steakhutzeee:
Doing that asks if I want to remove the messages from the server too, and I can only select ok, or retry.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail will ask "Delete local messages which are stored on the remote server too?", so remote messages will not be deleted.

Maybe it should be "Delete local messages only which are stored on the remote server too?".
[Android Apps and Games] steakhutzeee:
Yeah, I think this sound a little strange.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
How can this be improved?
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
Perhaps a more clear statement could be "Delete *only* local messages? Messages on the remote server remain."

A subtle grammar change that, imho, makes the statement more clear.

I EDITED my response since your +1 Marcel. Damn, you are quick!
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Make it an announcement: "Only locally stored messages will be deleted, they will remain on the server <Cancel> <OK>" or something like that.

Edit: [MENTION=6773321]TiTiB[/MENTION]: ?
[Android Apps and Games] steakhutzeee:
Maybe with "Remove local messages?" and maybe just after "This will not delete the messages from the server."
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Just FYI:

Notification appeared in status bar. All is well.

It was the 4hr delay that caused my confusion. Sorry for wasting your time.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
I find it strange that a lot of us are active here in giving feedback and improving the app but *silent* when it comes to giving a good review on Play Store! Only a dozen reviews so far?!

Can't we do this simple thing to support?

(For your review to be public, you need to sign out of beta)

To no one in particular
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Some of us might be using the F-Droid version, others might be too privacy minded to leave public reviews. I for one, don't even have a Google account.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
You have a point

[Android Apps and Games] wirdSchoon:
Your call is certainly honorable, but even I have no GApps installed and no longer register in the Playstore. After all I supported Marcel very early without knowing how far FairEmail will be developed or which direction will be taken.

I suspect that the fan community in Playstore develops rather slowly, but remains loyal.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Agree 100%.

And, I did give a 5 star review to both.

FYI :

Something is wrong at the github site. My download of this release is slow as molasses and when it finished it was 'forbidden', could not be opened.

My internet is fine and fast everywhere else.

Solved:

Download is almost immediate with a different browser. So it's a browser issue.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Screenshot.

The 'forbidden' is because I stopped the download when it was so slow.

[Android Apps and Games] dnsroot:
I have the same problem with supporting FE with a positive review in the PlayStore: I do have the PlayStore on my device, but I installed FE from Github. So when I navigate to FE in the PlayStore, I can read some of the reviews (in fact, the PlayStore app even recognizes that I have FE installed on my device), however, there is no possibility for me to write a review. I guess that PlayStore lets you only write reviews for apps that were actually installed from the PlayStore. So the only possibility might be uninstalling my current Github Version and installing the current PlayStore version, to be able to leave some Feedback in the PlayStore. Howewer, I like the fast update cycles on Github and someone wrote that Pro-Features would get lost if you switch to the PlayStore version.

BTW: I was not part of the Google PlayStore test phase for this app. I had never installed it from there, neither a test nor a final version.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.558

Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases

This version fixes some bugs and adds a folder long press menu to synchronize all messages. This will fetch, download (taking into account the connection settings) and keep all messages in the folder. Edit: this action will survive connection interrupts.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Minor detail:

When selecting 'Accounts' option to be displayed:

Long-pressing on folder shows:

This does not apply when 'Accounts' is chosen, but it still needs to be retained in case user switches to unified inbox/folders

So, probably best to keep as is. Just wanted to be aware of this case.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Thanks for reporting this.

It will be improved in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]

A suggestion - in folder long press options change it to "sync this folder now" and "sync all folders now"

It is not needed once the user does either and checks operations but to be very clear for first time users
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Currently it is 'Synchronize now' (this folder) and 'Synchronize all' (this folder).

So, it isn't synchronize all folders, but synchronize all messages in this folder.

I have changed the text to 'Synchronize all messages' to clarify this. I have left out 'in this folder' because that seems obvious to me since you were long pressing a folder. Instead I will add the folder name to the menu.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Thanks. Adding folder name is nice

BTW what's the difference between sync now and sync all. My checking of operations must have coincided with mail sync hence my understanding
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Sync now will sync for the number of days set.

Sync all will sync all messages for all days.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released

beta

version 1.559 1.560

Changelog/download:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases

This is mainly a bug fix release, including for the flickering when opening/expanding an unread message.
[Android Apps and Games] wirdSchoon:
Since some time the LED is not lit anymore when a mail arrives. The sound is played, but the notification light does not react. The test is positive and for example into the App "Conversations" sound and LED are used.

I'm using an unofficial LOS 16 version and it may contain errors, but can you still look into the code of FairEmail?

I'm of the opinion that had worked before some versions of FE.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Try to uninstall and install FairEmail again, so that the notification channels will be created again. Note that updating or installing over the current version will not recreate the notification channels.

After that, check if the light is or can be enabled in the Android channel settings, which you can access from the settings notifications tab as 'manage notifications'. You'll need to tap on the channel name before the switch to see the channel settings.

Please let me know if this helped.
[Android Apps and Games] sisssou:
Hi,

With v1.554, ans with an IMAP GMX account, folder's mapping (trash, spam, etc.) is soom forgotten.

That means I can't delete any mail, nor sending any.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail will map system folders automatically if the provider sends the correct information.

This is not always the case, so you can select the system folders in the account settings as well.
[Android Apps and Games] nick-gr:
I noticed at an earlier update that there might be a need for re-authorization for gmail but I didn't pay attention since I only have this mostly for when I might need to read/send a sudden email using my phone So there were plenty of automatically failed attempts to connect until today when I tried to fix it: Using a browser I went to my google account and unchecked fairemail from the list of Third-party apps with account access having in mind that I will be asked to reauthorize it. I changed the setting to accept Less secure app access and I enabled the setting "Allow access to your Google account" all with no success. I uninstalled and reinstalled fairemail start from scratch giving my credentials and pressed Check but resulted to error Couldn't connect to host. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something else I should have done? (2-step verification setting is also off)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
For "Couldn't connect to host", please see this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq22
[Android Apps and Games] wirdSchoon:
It must be due to a miraculous self-healing, because i installed your new version (over the old version) and with TWRP I deleted the cache and dalivk cache. Now the LED lights up again when a new mail arrives. Probably I can't verify that, but it works again at the moment without having to delete and reinstall FE.

Should the success be short-lived, I will implement your proposal.

Many thanks for your fast support!
[Android Apps and Games] sisssou:
The problem here is that those settings vanish as soon as I set them : I get that error when I try to delete an email right after I've remapped folders :

[Android Apps and Games] nick-gr:
OK it was just a normal connection problem with my connection, now it is working fine. \

I also have one more question to ask

As I said I only sporadically use emails on my phone so ideally I would want to be able to manually establish a connection only when I want to sent an email or by manually trigger a syncronization to recieve any new messages. Some versions before as far as I understood correctly that was possible with specific settings but now if the account is chosen for synchronization it automatically establishes a connection and periodically checks for emails which I can understand is better for performance in the average usage but what if I want to connect and check only once or twice if any per day? There is a choice to not synchronize but with which if you want to check for new mail you need to repeat the steps for synchronization first (there is no one step action to triger the receive of new messages). Is this possible to do in some way I didn't figure out/is it something you prefer not to implement?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please reproduce the problem and send me immediately after it the debug info by long pressing 'support' in the main navigation menu.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Just disable synchronization in the 'receive' settings tab. You can manually poll by using pull down to refresh.
[Android Apps and Games] nick-gr:
But if I do that I cannot see the account any more to pull down. The initial page I see is the settings page (if I try to go back/up it exits the app). To use again I have to go to step 1 Manage setup accounts, choose again to syncronize the account to be able to see it again and its folders
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You have disabled synchronization for the account.

You'll need to disabled synchronization on the general settings tab 'receive' instead.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] I just got an email from Google saying they're revoking access to account stuff from FairEmail. This is related only to the OAuth method, right? I'm assuming the other method of allowing less secure apps and using plain username password will still work.
[Android Apps and Games] djnield:
Gmail just emailed to say FairEmail will no longer be able to access my Gmail account after 15 July.

Is this connected with your announcement earlier this month regarding Gmail and having to reauthorise?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Yes, this is about OAuth, see also this FAQ of the day:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq111

Other authentication methods will keep working.
[Android Apps and Games] AgustinH:
Before I began of using FairEmail, I was using the stock from the phone, until it came a mail like this...basically say that in the search for a better privacy and protecting the user the app wouldn't work anymore with Google and wouldn't be able to receive any new mail from Gmail.

Well those Fu**** of Google did it again, I just receive the same mail that FairEmail won't work with Gmail from 15 of July unless the owner of the app applies to the data politics of Google before that date.
