How much drain?

Maybe the new watchdog is causing this. You can disable it in the advanced options, section miscellaneous > Periodically check if FairEmail is still active
Minimal use. More than 20%.
I will test...

What do you think about the filter variant all unread message and stared to show.
I think it is a good and complete view for all important mails.

Thanks

Thomas

Install BetterBatteryStats and follow these instructions and you'll be able to see the FairEmail wakelocks.


I like to keep FairEmail usage as simple as possible, so I have no plans to add this filter.

With Filter pity. But I know your opinion, ok.

I know BetterBatteryStats and have the pro Version. I will test. First I disabled watchdog.
I give it a try.
Then I will test with watchdog and BBS.

Why do we need watchdog? We have a permanent notification.

Thank you,

Thomas

Some Android variants aggressively kill apps, even with an ongoing foreground notification, see also here: https://dontkillmyapp.com/

Also, if FairEmail crashed for whatever reason, you want it to be started automatically ASAP to not miss email. That said, FairEmail crashes are fortunately rare.

The watchdog 'barks' about each hour, so not frequently.

Hello Marcel,

If I search for a mail and have a result list.
Then I tap on one message to view.
If I go then back, the result list disappears.

I think a problem with the new cached list?
This will be fixed in the next release, thanks for reporting.

Maybe obvious: colored stars are not supported by IMAP and can therefore not be synchronized to the email server. This means that colored stars will not be visible in other email clients and will be lost on downloading messages again. However, the star will be synchronized and will be visible in other email clients, if supported.

Some email clients use IMAP keywords for colors. However, not all servers support IMAP keywords and besides that there are no standard keywords for colors.

In message view mode, rotating phone by 90 degrees causes appearing endless sinner (and no message) on the screen. I have waited for ~5min and nothing changed.

    How was the call with Google today, Marcel?

    Google was pretty friendly and cooperative and told me the favicons are indeed the problem, and it can/should be fixed by updating in the privacy policy to "disclose how your app accesses, collects, uses, and shares user data":

    Privacy Policy​

    All apps must post a privacy policy in both the designated field in Play Console and within the app itself. The privacy policy must, together with any in-app disclosures, comprehensively disclose how your app accesses, collects, uses, and shares user data, not limited by the data disclosed in the Data Safety section. This must include:
    • developer information and a privacy point of contact or a mechanism to submit inquiries
    • disclosing the types of personal and sensitive user data your app accesses, collects, uses, and shares; and any parties with which any personal or sensitive user data is shared
    • secure data handling procedures for personal and sensitive user data
    • the developer’s data retention and deletion policy
    • clear labeling as a privacy policy (e.g., listed as “privacy policy” in title)
    The entity (e.g., developer, company) named in the app’s Google Play listing must appear in the privacy policy or the app must be named in the privacy policy. Apps that do not access any personal and sensitive user data must still submit a privacy policy.

    Please make sure your privacy policy is available on an active URL (no PDFs) and is non-editable.

    So, I have updated the privacy policy and added this new table:

    https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/PRIVACY.md#summary-of-shared-data

    I am not sure if it covers everything, so feedback is more than welcome. @mkasimd maybe you can take a look?

    Note that I have also enabled BIMI, Gravatars, Libravatars and favicons for the Play store version again.

    The short term goal is to release a Play store test version (and associated GitHub version) and to get the update approved. I will think about the next steps after this has been accomplished. Given the huge number of supportive messages I received (much appreciated!) the project will be continued in some form in any case.

    Version 1.1900 is available on GitHub now and in the Play store test program after Google's approval (which is the main goal of this release).

    It is time for a new, modern, open source, privacy friendly email client for Android.

    I have just released a first alpha version for feedback on the design and features.

    Not for production use yet!

    Most of the stuff basically works, but be prepared for crashes and error notifications.


    Safe email is a working name, but it is for several reasons not a convenient name, so suggestions for a name are welcome.

    I have just released alpha version 0.15

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

    With a bit of luck the next version can be a beta version.

    I am putting a lot of effort into this project, so thanks are appreciated.
