[CLOSED][APP][5.0+] FairEmail - Fully featured, open source, privacy oriented email app

[maybeme2]

Selecting files is done by the Android file selector and it seems to me that it isn't working properly for you. This is not something I can fix.

The behavior is very recent. Maybe it is something I accidentally froze in titanium backup. Any suggestions where to look?

Thank you Marcel. It was the Files app.

I do not know what happened. Maybe I got tired of it asking me to delete junk files and did something stupid to it. Anyway, I uninstalled and reinstalled the Files app and now I think that fixed things. Thank you.

I have just released version 1.1252

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

The behavior of hiding/showing the compose and reply button was changed a bit, based on the feedback I received. The button will stay hidden now, until you scroll down again.

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

I have used K9 for many years. I like FairEmail so far, but some things are very confusing. I am willing to buy the pro version, because I would need to export/import settings for different tablets and phones.

I use several accounts and I would like to use the account view as the starting page.
Besides my main account, there are more important and less important accounts.
I was not able to find a way to change the order of accounts in the accounts start page.
If there is no way to do that, FairEmail is useless for me. Additional the order will change if you alter the settings of an account, very confusing.

Where can I find the setting how FairEmail handles confirmation requests for received messages?
I found it for sent messages, but it seems there is no setting for received messages.

Thank you for this great work!

You can change the order of the accounts via the navigation menu of the setup screen. By default the accounts are ordered on primary/secondary and account name.

Confirming a received message can be done via the answer menu. It will be an option if the sender requested this and there will be an icon in the addresses section to show a read receipt was requested as well.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I am sorry, I am not able to find the mentioned menu for changing the order of the accounts. Is this a pro feature? I have not bought the pro version yet, still testing.

Go to the setup screen and swipe from the left edge inwards and you'll find a menu item to order the accounts.

Oh my god, I am so sorry! I found it, cool.
Even more options!
A little bit overwhelming all these options but great to have them, even if I don't need all of it at the moment. Many default settings are perfect already.

Thanks again!

Hi.

I have a suggestion :

Can you add an option to customize action bar (the one that is sticky at bottom of screen) ?

I'm reading messages in normal mode (not conversation) and there is only 2 buttons : delete message and delay (not useful for me).

To move the message i'm reading or to display images, i have to scroll all the way up to top to have the button.

It would be nice to have same buttons in sticky bottom bar as in top action bar.

Or, better, make top action bar sticky at bottom of screen instead of fixed position after header.

Any way, thanks for this great program

There can be only five actions in an action bar, so choices have to be made. Previous/next, archive/trash and snooze are the most used actions.

Maybe you can set an archive folder where the message should be moved to (setup, step 1, tap Manage, tap account, at the bottom).

I will think about an option to replace archive by move.

I am still struggling with my change from K9 to FairEmail.

A language setting independent of the system language would be nice. It would be easier to communicate with you about specific settings (my system language is German, so it is difficult to refer to menu entries or settings).

Independantly set "compact mode" for list of e-mails and message view. I would like to use the compact mode for the list of e-mails but "normal" mode while reading the message.

I have used K9 for many years and I get a lot of e-mails from strange senders (customers). So I am much more focused on the subject than on the sender. I often read an e-mail, reply but leave the genuine e-mail unread as a reminder.
With K9 it is much easier for me to keep track of the subjects and unread e-mails. In FairEmail it is harder for me to distinguish the read from unread e-mails and because the subject has the same color as the address it is less easy to focus on that. For me the visualization of FairEmail is more straining.

K9 uses a different background for unread e-mails. And maybe a brighter color for the subject would help. K9 is far less colorful but easier to read (my opinion after so many years). It is difficult to recommend a solution, because FairEmail is so different and it should be, it is not a K9-clone.
Maybe you have a good idea how to improve the readability.

This is no criticism of your work! I am used to K9 but I like some features of FairEmail very much.
Maybe there is a way to adapt the visualization by some options to make it easier for K9-changers.

Where does this limitation come from ?
In K9 mail, I had seven button in action bar. That was very handy

Hi dev, for the "delete old unread message" feature, could we customize the numbers of days of it? I remember meanwhile 30 days means old. I wish I could set it to other numbers. Thank you very much for your work.

To move the message i'm reading or to display images, i have to scroll all the way up to top to have the button.

You don't have to scroll at all, 1 click on the up arrow (framed in red in the attached screenshot) is enough to get back to the top.

...In FairEmail it is harder for me to distinguish the read from unread e-mails and because the subject has the same color as the address it is less easy to focus on that...

You can change in the Settings -> DISPLAY:

* Text size sender: Small
* Text size subject: Medium or Large
* Show subject in italics: ON
* Highlight subject: ON

It will make the visualization more comfortable for you.

Thank you. Yes, I know, I already tried several combinations without much improvement.

What would you like to improve? The font style, size and color are configurable, see the screenshot with above mentioned settings. As for me, the focus on subject is quite good



PS: If the account name will be not shown after the subject, I will be 100% happy...
