M66B you have just raised this app to a whole new level! It is just incredible what you have done with this project! I am speechless. Fantastic!!
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released version 1.905

Changelog/dowload:

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

This version fixes searching for email addresses, etc when using the new indexed search. The search will be for all words (AND), so it is easier to refine searches.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will see what I can do.

Edit: https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/commit/97d25a9cb4997a6f8d22950dd9fad04a67e64115
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
What happened to the previous releases on GitHub? Now it only shows one page.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Good question. In any case I didn't change anything.

For example 1.895 is still there if you access it directly:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/releases/tag/1.895

Excellent Sir ?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released version 1.906

Changelog/download:

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

This version will show the search index size in the miscellaneous options and will mark found messages in a conversation [MENTION=6285129]beeshyams[/MENTION]

Note that there will be a weekly update in the Play store, generally at the start of the week, and that there won't be releases in the test program anymore.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] heisert:
Why no more test releases in the Play Store? :sad:
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Because development is about finished, because people complain about to many updates and because there will be a new release in the Play store each week anyway. Besides that, you can always install the GitHub version too.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Should using the new searching indexing be a pro feature?

IMHO it should because I expect searching to be used mainly professionally and the normal, slower on-device search will work.

What is your opinion?
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
Agree! It should. This is a fantastic feature and those who want it should pay for it.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:

[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Thanks for your work Marcel. Yes, it should be pro feature

Highlighting by way of marking doesn't work for me. How is the marking supposed to be?

Aside, you mentioned two search terms say A and B are taken as A and B. Same seems to be the case with "AB" (quotes). Is that right?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am not sure what you mean by "highlighting". Highlight the sender name? Select text?

Quotes are not considered when searching via the search index.

"Apple banana" will search for Apple AND banana. In other words, a space means AND.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
The last line should be in FAQ

I didn't express myself correctly. Let me give an example. I searched for net guard and thus result appears (first screen shot)

Now in one of the conversations which has about a dozen mails between you and me, I was looking for a way to open the correct mail (courtesy some identification) without opening all to check. But I do not see that as in second screen shot.

Maybe I wasn't clear the first time but I am curious as to what has been implemented in the latest version
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I will add it to the FAQ.

Are you using the latest GitHub version? Found messages of a conversation should be marked with a magnify glass.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Here's the second screenshot please

Deleted
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I see a magnify glass ...
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Yucks... Dumb of me I wasn't looking for magnify icon

I was expecting some kind of bold text or something to draw attention

Kindly add this too to the FAQ. I won't be the last dumbo
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Maybe you'll need a magnify glass, lol.

Look at the message before the last one.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
You are three fast

I deleted that almost immediately and amended to say that I can see but you are three damn three fast

It is a great feature... Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Those release notes served as a changelog. Do you have a changelog file anywhere?
[Android Apps and Games] nadir husain:
[MENTION=6285129]beeshyams[/MENTION] your email address has been displayed all over the internet , well at least on xda forum. Lots of spammers around.
[Android Apps and Games] heisert:
He uses FairEmail. Now he could add rules or filter/flag the spammer!

[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
"Because development is about finished"... So what's next:silly:

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

Thanks for pointing it out. I was too lazy to delete and as [MENTION=6359432]heisert[/MENTION] said no problem with FairEmail :good:

Deleted anyway now
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The GitHub releases always had a more detailed changelog than Play store releases, also because Google doesn't provide much space for a changelog.

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

The weekly Play store release will have a changelog with the major changes.
[Android Apps and Games] manjaroid:
Part of the beta fun is getting dailies and nightlies. I'll miss them because it's interesting watching an app evolve, but I'm glad for you it's time for a more relaxed pace.

For those of us who paid for Pro through Play Store I assume we're ok switching to the GitHub release (like NetGuard).
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
For now this is possible, but this will eventually be removed to prevent trouble with Google.
[Android Apps and Games] manjaroid:
Not a problem. At that point, with any timing luck, my de-googling plan will be 75 percent complete. (85-90 percent is the best any of us an hope for.)
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
That's what I'm referring to. Since GitHub seems to have vanished the older tags from the Releases page, would I have to check tag by tag to see which version added a certain feature or bug fix? I searched but I couldn't find a Changelog or Changes file in the repository.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
On a desktop there is still previous/next page for releases, but on a mobile device this has disappeared for some reason.
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
I think this would be OK, as a normal search is available.

But talking of search. As professional with a mess of inbox and some many more or less active or inactive folders, it would be great if I could do a 'full index' once in a while over ALL folders.

This along with an 'intensive' search optional to the normal folders controlled by settings.

Another idea for Pro would be a search through different AND OR. I am not talking of a full query language.. Even if this would be great.

But more about something a normal user could use. Maybe with an extendable search field. On click are 2 timepicker sender subject body fields available.

Don't get me wrong, you've done an unbelievable thing. But if I would dare to ask for something. A brilliant search is missing most of the email clients.. Mobile and desktop.. At least one to use without memorizing the whole field names and syntax.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
The search index is built for all messages. Searching via the action bar in the unified inbox also searches for messages in all folders. I use this a lot myself, so I am a happy user of the new search indexing myself!

I don't think an OR operation would be very useful in contrary to AND, but feel free to convince me of the opposite. FTS5 supports a mini query language, so it would be possible to add something like you are asking. Note that you cannot use this query language in FairEmail.

Edit: how about default OR, like "apple banana" searching for apple OR banana and optional AND, like "apple + banana" ?

Or the other way around, default AND (like it is now) and optional OR, like "apple, banana" ?
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Oh. Never mind then. Problem solved. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] cobben:
In Firefox (on Android 9 at least) if you check the "Request desktop site" they reappear.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just released version 1.907

Changelog/download:

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

This version adds OR indexed search, please see this FAQ for the details and examples. Another small new, but potential useful feature is that you can mark answer templates as favorite, so that they will be sorted on top.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.

Using Octodroid, Android 9, I see all releases on github.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMadRuffian:
I was wondering why the PlayStore listing isn't available in my country. It is from the Philippines' GooglePlay. I update from GitHub so no issues for me. But for people who are in the constant hunt for a really good, power email app wouldn't find it.

This is mainly a maintenance release.

[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Question: should a forwarded message without your own text be considered empty (=warning) ?
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
No IMO.

I do it often. I don't need to add context in such cases.

I don't see how warning helps unless you are saying, "hey you forgot to add your text"
[Android Apps and Games] Stephan Windmüller:
Normally I would expect the sender to include a "FYI" at least. So yes, a warning would be nice.

However, I would like the additional option of redirecting a single message (aka bounce or remailing) instead of forwarding. Could you add this to the feature list please? :)
[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Hmm ... one person complained who was using the beta version - he should have been using the released version.

I'd respectfully add my +1 to more frequent beta versions again please. By the time i get the play store version it's too late to contribute on xda.

I really appreciated the ability to test things following xda.

thanks.

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

Nope.

Its not empty - it has the text being forwarded. IMHO

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

I'm not up to speed on this - but I think the updated version of this is called SRS - without this DMARC will fail, which you definitely don't want or your mail will be marked as spam - as it should be.

I need to read up more about SRS and if there are potential surprises with DKIM/DMARC or ARC. Also not all email servers support it - though Postfix does. I understand Office 365 has added support for SRS client so assume server as well. I don't know about gmail or sendmail or exim.

Seems exim has some support for SRS - i'm seeing some folks report problems deriving from sender vs from header issues but need to understand details still.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I believe both resend and SRS are hardly supported, but if you think otherwise I will listen.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:

This version adds support for Gravatars (default disabled display settings). Icons will be cached, but need to be loaded, which might take a little time and will use data.

Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Gravatars are nice, but I guess there needs to be at least a privacy warning and maybe they need to be removed again because they do not really fit into the goal of FairEmail:

https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/44717/is-gravatar-a-privacy-risk
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
well ....... could be good if you were going to add something , got distracted and then hit send. if is worth your time to add

otherwise , no. it has text. if you forgot then add text and reforward.

scary and what i would consider anti-FairEmail

i337M powered by audit13
[Android Apps and Games] Andriy U.:
I think, if using gravatars adds a privacy risk (even a small risk), then better to remove them from FairEmail.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Gravatars will be removed in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] DieOrange:
Hi,

like the app and bought Pro.

Got many Accounts with different custom colours.

Could you maybe consider to change the top Bar color to the custom color of the account.

Example: Account X has yellow it would be cool if the top bar is yellow to if I browse in the Account X Folders.

Same with All other Accounts.

Would be very very helpful! Or i missed a setting?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Stephan Windmüller:
For me it is an essential feature, I used it on a regular basis with mutt and Thunderbird (add-on).

The use case is quite simple: Sometimes I send an e-mail to someone and put my wife in CC. The recipient hits the "Reply" and not "Reply to all" button so I am the only one receiving the reply. With a redirect feature I can mimic the behavior as if she were listed in BCC. Using a simple forward is not good enough since her inbox would be full of messages from me that I did not write. Additionally, replying to those mails is quite a hassle.

In my opinion a simple redirect (minimal header rewrite) would be enough, no need for an SRS solution for now.
[Android Apps and Games] Stephan Windmüller:
If you are searching for an alternative, there will always be X-Face. But I doubt that anyone uses it anymore. :)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Which headers do you exactly need?
[Android Apps and Games] Stephan Windmüller:
Well, if I redirect a message, both Envelope-From and Sender should point to me instead of the original author, am I correct?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Both these headers cannot be set by an email client, only by an email server.
[Android Apps and Games] Stephan Windmüller:
Okay, that makes the implementation even simpler: Just send the message as-is with SMTP. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Andriy U.:
I do not know any details how the redirect can be implemented into email clients, but, just for information, for example, a desktop email client Sylpheed somehow is able to redirect emails.

I am not asking to add the redirect function into FairEmail. I am OK with forward only. But, in some cases, the redirect is a really neat feature.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Not a good idea: the sending email server might reject it and the receiving server might mark the message as spam.
[Android Apps and Games] Stephan Windmüller:
That never happened to me and I use this feature on a regular basis.

And apparently this is what in other mail clients as mentioned above do when redirecting mails.
[Android Apps and Games] kojid:
Navigation Drawer Improvement

Thank you for your detailed response :)

I can understand some of your points.

But I still think that there can be UI improvements here and there. I know that other things might be more important but I still want to share some artwork of a navigation drawer which could look similar to the one attached. How do you like it? There is no need to implement it that way - I think other designs might even be better.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
It looks nice, but image 500 folders, 10 levels deep and you'll see this won't work.

Note that you can long press any folder in the folder list to add it to the navigation menu.

Also, how many folders are you really interested in?

Email has lots of aspects, more the I imaged when I started this project ...
[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Still learning - its not just a client issue it seems to me, but also an MTA server issue as well.

So itdoes seem that the mail servers need to support this for it to function properly (though it may just work within same domain where the redirect may not get bounced - unless its an open relay of course). I have not found good info on which servers (or which mail domains) actually support SRS - also would be nice if it was an a real standard.

I also don't fully grasp where SMTP bounce mails go - for example if A sends to B which SRS redirects to C - if then for some reason the MTA which is MX'ing for C sends back a "bounce" - I believe it goes back to A (which would be a surprise to A).

I will continue to do more research (I did see someone wrote a milter for postfix called postsrsd but its not used broadly best I can tell).
[Android Apps and Games] kojid:
Actually, I'm only interested in one folder: Unified Inbox. I mostly don't care about the other folders. But the way it is now, it's very confusing.

There is no unified inbox folder to tap (I know it's the default folder but it should be in the navigation drawer to show what is currently being displayed).

All accounts are listed one after another. Then, a line breaks and some folder I don't use is being displayed. Confusing... Maybe it was the folder I chose the last time but I cannot collapse it or make it gone. Also it just says "outbox". Of which account? I got 6...

Also, I don't understand why there is time after each folder. Last sync? If yes, it's not quite correct because it doesn't update when I manually refresh. Not easy to understand / intuitive.

There are quite more folders than the 4 I displayed in my picture, I admit. A solution could be a 3-dot "other folders" area which opens an activity where you can see all existing folders.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
In the navigation menu you'll find all unified folders as "some folder I don't use".

There is just one outbox for all accounts. You mostly won't have lots of messages queued, so it would be in most cases cumbersome to split it up.

The time is the last time the folders were checked (the connection being kept alive), which is not the same as synced. Maybe this should change.

If you tap on an account you can see all folders, so "an activity where you can see all existing folders" already exists.
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
Last one sounds good. I thought of this myself a while and or could be useful if I search for different senders but the same topic.

E. G. (array/list) AND (array/list)

While array/list == OR

Uhm... And if this could be combined with a not, e.g. To blacklist some senders. I could not think of more.

But a simpler enhancement would be great : result count in the search.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I think 'and' and 'or' will suffice in almost all cases.

How about adding the result count to the subtitle?
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
What I would like to know before I am going to add resend is if this is generally supported because else it won't be useful and would lead to support questions only.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:
not for me. i'll just hit the send button twice. :)
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
Yes, just at the top subtitle.

I am thinking again a bit complex. If the same search is done on the server, I would be interested in the result count local and server.

And yes, I could try to remember it.. But this bad memories ?.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Yes for first statement

Second proposal - how is it going to help? Maybe missing something but for a text search I don't see any use
[Android Apps and Games] heisert:
I think ive found a bug. There is no different when i change the autom. resize sending picture size!

choosing small to Large are all the same Resolutions (750*1000) and same sizes.

Only Extra Large is different (1500*2000).

Could you please take a look, Marcel.

Iam on latest github Release
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I don't think this is a bug, please see here for a possible explanation:

https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq63
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
As the FAQ explains this is because resizing is fine with while number factors only. This is for speed, memory usage and to preserve the image quality.

[Android Apps and Games] ammarr:
[MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] App is working great, as always. I recently tried to experiment with PGP, so its entirely likely that I've misunderstood some aspect of how it works. My question is; is it possible to automatically encrypt+sign when a key exists for the recipient, otherwise fall back to signing only?

I'm trying to gradually start using PGP, but don't want to be fiddling with enabling/disabling for every email; basically just have it work when it can.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
No, this is not possible, you'll have to choose yourself what you want.
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I have just deleted version 1.910 because searching on server appears to crash due to a race condition. I am trying to prevent F-Droid build this buggy version.

I will build later tonight a fixed version.
[Android Apps and Games] gimpy1:
I have already installed the 910 version and am currently on it. It "seems" to be working fine for me, but I did try to install version 909 apk over the 910 apk and it would not let me. Is it OK to use it until you update (which I assume you are planning to)?

I did just recently find this email client(?) app and have been using it for a couple of weeks or so. I think it works great for what I want it to do and be. Thx (on the pro version)
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
You cannot revert to the version before because there was a database change, but no worries, it is only search-on server that doesn't work and there will be a new version within a few hours to update to.
[Android Apps and Games] cobben:
If you really need to revert to an earlier version, you have to uninstall the current version.

You can first export your settings from the current version and then import them in the older version again.

That at least worked perfectly for me when I did this once early last fall.
[Android Apps and Games] gimpy1:
Thx. I thought about that. Thx for confirming, but I don't think I need to. I will just wait for m's update.
[Android Apps and Games] gc01:
Hey Marcel - From my side, I still need more time to learn more.

Question for the original requestor:

[MENTION=10446623]Stephan Windmüller[/MENTION] - when you've used this can you please share:

1) Was the 'from' mail domain you redirected from the same as the "to" domain you redirected to?

2) Which domains were used for "from" and which for "to"

This will help my understand you particular use case a little better.

thanks
