Go to messages seems better.

Not an issue, just checking.

I found the delete, in the overflow menu/ three dots menu

Checked in edit folder did not see it.

Why not have create new folder in menu like 'delete' to create a new folder.

As in mobile devices, one would think that you are not creating and deleting folders as much.

So would make more sense to have a 'New folder' in menu and not a floating button, as it is more of a shortcut

Shortcuts usually apply to things user does often, are there any cases where folders are created often?
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
I just set ~300 marked mails in a subfolder as read and the view just switched between "no emails" and actually showing the message in the list. In between I just feared that something went wrong with the mails and they are gone or something like that.

Luckily this doesn't seem to be the case, but nevertheless this just "looked" wrong. Maybe the flashing view can be turned off and the action could take place in the background?!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The create folder action button is similar to / consistent with the create new message button. It doesn't hurt to accidentally click on it, so I like to keep it, also to show this is possible.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The flickering is actually caused by doing things in the background, but I will see if I can improve this.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Did anybody ever see a greyish splash screen in recent versions? This will be shown if starting FairEmail takes longer than a few seconds.

Nope, never saw it

[MENTION=4170684]LazyT[/MENTION] I have checked and rules will be executed in all cases, including when using 'store sent', so you can use rules to automatically move messages to other folders after sending. Suggested condition: sender (identity) email address.
[Android Apps and Games] seorendesi:
Great idea and big project.

Good luck !
[Android Apps and Games] HsHTCsen:
Hi

In settings/accounts/manage Gmail is showing "an identity is required to send messages" in red. What does this mean? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
As the message says: you'll need to setup an identity to be able to send messages. This is the second step of the setup.
[Android Apps and Games] HsHTCsen:
Sweet, that was simple. I thought it was server/connection related. Thanks for quick response.
[Android Apps and Games] LazyT:
Doesn't work here with version 1530:

- long pressed the sent folder

- added rule with the sender

- check says matching

- sending new mail is stored in the sent folder and not moved

When checking I get a log entry "rule=null matched=true ...", when sending only "sent via smtp..." but no rule entry.

Sent folder has sync enabled, anything else to setup?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Please reproduce this and immediately after it send me the debug info by long pressing 'Support' and I will check what is happening.

Please see this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq22
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
I still have a suggestion regarding the search function. When I search in the unified inbox the floating button appears with which I can search in all folders of all accounts. This floating button would be convenient in general. So you would not have to manually switch to a folder with multiple folders, and then to search. In addition, this floating button should also appear on the page with the search result that you can possibly search directly in other folders. You could leave it in folders as before and additionally in a long press the menu as in the unified inbox display.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Searching from the action bar searches on the device (in the unified inbox in all folders) and searching from the floating action button searches on the server (in the selected folder). See also this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq13

You can search in any folder, so there is no need to switch to the unified inbox to search. I think it would be confusing to show the floating action button again because it could look like you were searching on the device.
[Android Apps and Games] ths180:
Is it right that the sort order of folders and accounts not stored in backup?

I think it would be better the sort and options to store!?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is an oversight and will be fixed in the next release.

Hi

Any chance of please adding something like:

Fairmail detecting when device is connected to a VPN and an option to turn sync on/off when VPN is on?

When I'm connected to a VPN my email accounts detect suspicious activity from Fairmail auto sync and then I need to login to each account and re-identify my device.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will give this some thought, but basically I don't want to solve problems not caused by FairEmail.

If you are using Gmail, you can switch to using an app password, see also the FAQ.

ALPHA

version 1.541

Changelog/download:

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

There won't be an update notification for this release, so you'll have to download this version manually.

This version removes the dependency on the UIDPLUS extension to fix problems caused by bugs in server software. This version is an alpha release because a part of the core (adding messages) has been rewritten. I have successfully tested all scenarios I could think of, but I like to be careful, since adding messages (mainly drafts, but also sent orphans and cross account moves) is an important part of the core.

Please report any issue you find.
[Android Apps and Games] HsHTCsen:

[Android Apps and Games] inotrest:
Could you add an option to choose the design of the dark system theme? I'd like to have the black theme instead of the dark theme as part of the system theme.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You can set a black theme in the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] inotrest:
I use LineageOS and the system theme changes at night. It is light during day and automatically switches to black during night.

That's why I chose System Theme in FairEmail, it automatically switches the theme. The problem is that when I set it to system it is not black during night but rather dark.

That's why it would be nice to set the black theme for darkmode.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will make the black theme the default for the system dark theme. Android Q uses a real black theme as well, so this will be consistent with what Android Q does.
[Android Apps and Games] inotrest:
Thanks allot.

Hi, Marcel,

I have been using LOS 16 for a short time and now I don't have the possibility to select my notification tone.

Can you also add the option to select a sound for mail reception for LOS 16?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
LOS 16 is based on Android 9 Pie. Apps cannot change the notification settings from Android 8 Oreo anymore, so what you are asking is not possible.

Go to the FairEmail settings, in the navigation (hamburger) menu select "Manage notifications". You should be able to change the notification sound of the (general) "notifications" channel.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
This is not intuitive, because there is also a tab 'notifications'. Maybe you can add a button there, instead of the menu item.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
This is a good idea. Anyway, it is just a shortcut to the Android app settings (which are IMHO even less intuitive).
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
They are indeed. It took me a while before I realized that you have to tap the word 'Notifications' to change the notification settings. One would expect it would just switch the check mark behind it.

version 1.543

Changelog/download:

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

If you received empty messages or corrupt attachments, caused by an outdated Exchange version and other buggy server software, you can probably fix this by disabling the new "partial fetch" option in the advanced account settings. Note that this will increase memory usage, which might cause other problems.

Please report any issue you find.
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
Just wanted to give a big thanks to Marcel! Really like the recent changes to how settings work. Looking forward to what the future may bring.
[Android Apps and Games] wirdSchoon:
My LOS16 does not offer a change of the sound at this point, but can be found in the settings for the tones system-wide.

Conversations and aCalender, however, have their own settings for the sound and these are also used. This way the acoustic signal is unmistakably connected to the application. I would like to be able to continue doing this.

Can you make an attempt to have FairEmail assign a sound to LOS 16 itself?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I really can't because the Android version LOS 16 is based on doesn't support this.

[Android Apps and Games] matttbe:
Hi Marcel,

First, thank you very much for developing this app. I am impressed by the state of it for a young app! Keep up the good work!

This week, I tried to use FairEmail with a private account, hosted on gandi.net servers. I can see all directories I created and the ones that were already there (Sent, Archive) except the main one: the INBOX one.

I tried with an old Gmail account and I don't have this issue, Inbox is in the list.

What I also noticed with my gandi account is that when I click on the Check button in the IMAP settings, all directories (draft, sent, archives, etc.) are correctly linked to the ones from the server except the Spam one which is maybe normal, I don't see it with Thunderbird. But when I look at these same settings later, only Draft and Sent are still linked to directories, the others are marked "-". After having clicked on the "check" button, it is back again until I come back later in these IMAP settings. Not sure if it is linked to the first issue but with the Gmail account, these settings are persistent.

Any idea what I could look at to understand where the bug comes from?

I don't have this issue with the old kmail9 nor Thunderbird.

I am using FairEmail from fdroid, version 1.539.

Have a good day,

Matt
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It is odd that the inbox is not being recognized, since it has a fixed name. The folders are recognized correctly only if the provider sends the correct folder attributes. Gandi might not do this for the spam folder.

Please check the account and immediately after that send me the debug info by long pressing 'Support' in the main navigation menu. If possible I would like to test with a Gandi account.

Check won't save the settings, so make sure you press the save button after checking.

There was a bug that showed the selected folders incorrectly, which is in any case fixed in the latest version:

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

Edit: I have checked the source code, but it is not possible to create an account without the inbox being recognized, so it is likely that it disappeared later somehow.
[Android Apps and Games] matttbe:
Thank you very much for the quick answer!

I hope you don't mind if I send here only what I filtered from the logs. I can of course send more if needed.

It seems that some folders have no ID, the ones that have issues!

Do you need more debug info?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The debug info only tells me some folders do not exist yet and that the provider doesn't send the correct attributes for all system folders. The latter is not a problem: just select the folder manually.

Did you already update to the latest version?

Did you try to save the account? The check does not create or update folders. Saving should recreate the inbox again if it got lost somehow.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Does this mean that the save operation also writes to the server? I thought it only saved in-app settings and was wondering if it would be possible to save each setting automatically after it is changed. I often forget to save changes too.

Alternatively, can you implement a 'save' reminder, e.g. a popup when you leave the screen without saving?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Saving does not change anything on the server, only on the device.

A save reminder is be a good idea. Saving an account, identity or folder can require restarting the sync service depending on what was changed, which is why an automatic save is not a good idea.
[Android Apps and Games] matttbe:
Thank you for the explanations!

Sorry I forgot to answer to your other questions: I did update to the latest version and save but still no inbox.

Then I wiped all data to start again with only this account and with the latest version in order to get clear logs and guess what... Inbox was there! And the other directories were permanent in the IMAP settings!

Note that after that, I restored my backup, deleted my account and recreated it but it seems it was not enough. I still had the same error with this configuration.

I guess I was just unlucky to have started with a version having issues with the folders. It is fine, I will re-setup the app.

Thanks again for developing and maintaining this great app and for the good support of course!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The next version will ask if you want to save a changed account, identity or folder.
[Android Apps and Games] steakhutzeee:
I see i can change color for my inbox accounts, it works fine for both my inbox and sent folder.

I see i can change colors for my identities too, so for my sent message. But it s working already. What is this setting for?

Hope it's clear [emoji4]

Please see this FAQ:

https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq34
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
I have an isdue about link handling within recieved emails. I could not find answer in the FAQ nor in this thread.

An opened email has a link in it—underlinded, with a title such as 'Click here to start'. What I want to do is see the address to where this link leads. Instinctually, I long-press the title and expect to see option to view the address, but no. There is, however, an 'Open Link With' option that results in 'The shared content did not have any valid URLs.'

What I did to be able see this, and other links in the email, was to 'Share' to clipboard then paste in to a .txt file.

I scoured Settings, FAQ, and this thread but did not see this mentioned. Any help appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Is this is the FairEmail message view or in the original message view? FairEmail by default shows a dialog with a (editable) link, so maybe I don't understand what you mean.
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
Both. I can forward the email if you would like to have a look.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I like to see the raw message file. You can download and save it in the message 'more' menu and use 'Report issue' in the main navigation menu to send it to me.
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
done
[Android Apps and Games] BunnyWarrior:
They did indeed and I would never recommend gmail or google products in general in any ways but this is the wrong thread to discuss data business. Yahoo is just an outstanding example (technically, privacy and security related) how an email provider these days should NOT work. That´s all from me - BTT.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail in the a Play store has a new, nice banner.

[Android Apps and Games] Namnodorel:
I'm probably missing something but why "stop crying"?
[Android Apps and Games] KickerTom:
Great you added support for servers without IDLE. I know it can cause trouble, but sometimes you have no choice (work email). However for both of my two servers without IDLE, I am getting error "UIDPLUS not supported". Is there any easy solution, or am I out of luck?

Thank you for your hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] KickerTom:
Ah, should have done it first, sorry. I checked only the RFC, not FAQ, and the RFC stated it's optimizations only, and everything offered by UIDPLUS is possible without it, although less efficient, so I had a hope. Oh well, will have to stick to k9 then :(.

Thanks for the fast response.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I just wrote this as a reply to a Play store comment asking about support for insecure connections:

"FairEmail is about security and privacy, so insecure connections are not supported. Ask yourself if you want to send and receive email over an insecure connection, especially considering your smartphone can and likely will be used in hostile environments like possibly unreliable hotspots. Any email server in 2018 should support secure connections."
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I think there is a contradiction in requiring UIDPLUS (for which there are good reasons) and supporting polling on the other hand. It would be logical to drop support for polling, but I am afraid that it would result in lots of complaints and bad ratings when FairEmail is released in the Play store for a broader audience.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Getting an odd error message:

UNIQUE constraint failed: folder.account, folder.name

This is an account with no messages in the inbox, and I'm not checking this email via any other program or desktop/laptop/etc.
[Android Apps and Games] AgustinH:
I'm using it right now! Seems pretty nice, I like it! A few thing to notice

1 - I opened an email with imagen, and when I touch on show image, nothing happen (gmail)

2 - Would be nice in futures updates an option to erase an email without having to enter to it

3 - Would be nice some way to difference the accounts (I have 2 gmail's and 1 outlook)

4 - I just receive a notification on my phone that FairEmail is using a lot of battery. I will test in this night if in stand by mode will drain the battery.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Mails being stored on servers and used for by providers (Yahoo and Gmail) were discussed in earlier posts

If this is the case, how does switching over to a different mail client like this help? I guess it doesn't but wanted to be sure

[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If you are using the latest version, please reproduce the issue and send me a log file. Did you enable storing of sent messages?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Opening images: where do you exactly touch?

Erase email: swipe right.

Differentiate accounts: you can set the account name in the setup.

Battery usage: which device are you using? Does FairEmail actually use a lot of battery?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
FairEmail does obviously not change what the email provider does or doesn't, but you can be sure that the app itself isn't tracking you or worse and is sending your emails to another server and that secure connections to the provider are being used.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
And what exactly are secure connections - other than public wifi hot spots?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Encrypted connections of a certain standard.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
You can't compain if you don't know what a closed-source software does or if your privacy/secuirty isn't respected.

Open source softwares are prerequisites if you value your personal data.

You have been warned :)
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Of course. What I meant to ask was I can use a normal provider data connection (without VPN) to use this mail so I suppose that meets the standard. I am at a loss to understand what these insecure connections can be barring public wifi
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Connections to the internet can be in plain text or can be encrypted. FairEmail guarantees encrypted connections.
[Android Apps and Games] Mackie Messer:
Very nice project - could be a better replacement for neglected K9-Mail soon. I'm still missing a "mark all as read" button with one click.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
If I click on 'Click here to start' the dialog to open a link appears both in the FairEmail and original message view. So, I don't understand what the problem is.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
How would you propose to add this?
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
A thousand pardons! It works exactly as you say, and is even what I want to happen, i.e., show the link before choosing to open/follow it. I don't know what I was thinking. The only thing I can say is that I don't deal with a lot of emails so I just forgot?...idk.

Sorry for the inconvenience and assuredly causing you frustration trying to figure out what was 'wrong'.

I honestly don't know what else to say except thanks for your wonderful apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Mackie Messer:
Could be in the three dots menu.
