Just tested the browse . Works beautifully
Hi, how can I utilize this feature:
- Added auto expand single starred messages
Real nice.
Both browse and search for local notes working here

Same here, browsing works great

Everything works well. No any issues were noted
This change means that if there is exactly one starred and read message in a fully read conversation that this message will be auto expanded. There is no setting for this.

I hope this makes sense.
Hi,
A question about rules.
I had a certain mail in my inbox which had a local note.
I wanted to create a rule that will do the following :
Conditions will be words in the subject + sender.
As for the action I wanted to add a label of one of my existing folders.
That way, when I'll receive a new mail that matches this rule :
1. I will be notified about it
2. It will be in my inbox with an additional label
3. After reading the mail, I'll just archive it manually in order for it to be only in the dedicated folder and not in the inbox.
So I created the rule with action of "copy to" and ran the rule on the existing mail that is in my inbox.
The label did apply to the mail as I expected, but was weird for me:
1. The mail in the inbox said it has a duplicate in the dedicated folder
2. Only the mail in the inbox had the local note, the one in the folder did not have it.
Why did it happen?
Isn't it the same mail with 2 labels - inbox & dedicated folder?
Is there a better way for me to implement it?
Thanks a lot for this great app and support!

Copies/duplicates are in fact separate messages in different folder and notes are attached to one message only.
What I will add is copying the note too when copying a message.
So just for me to understand.
It's different than Google's implementation of adding a label?
As I understood, when adding different labels to a message, it doesn't duplicate it.. Correct?
Do you recommend a different rule for this case to avoid duplicates.
Thanks!
A local note is not the same as a label.
A local note is a piece of text, a to do, a reminder or something similar, attached to the message on your device only.
A label is a folder in Gmail. Which is different from keyword (yes, that is confusing), which is a standard IMAP feature, also supported by Gmail.
Local notes will be copied when copying messages.
Thank you!
Yes I understood the part about the note
. My question is, why the action "copy to" has created a duplicate.
I just want to assign an additional label without duplicating it.
Gmail labels are represented as folders via IMAP. Since one message can be in one folder at a time only, Gmail shows a copy of the same message in each folder. To label a message, a copy of the message in another folder (=label) needs to be made. The message is duplicate for IMAP, but not for Gmail.Thank you!

Gmail is just a bit different ...

Something was not quite right with searching and browsing, which was addressed in this release.
@nadir husain @xdabushrang3r @gabi11 @Andriy U. @O_DoC and others: can you please double check if searching and browsing still works as expected for you? I am trying to make sure it works on all devices as intended. Both are pretty important features!

Ohh now understand the difference
So if I want to use the current rule, but without duplicates in inbox+folder - I can just delete it from inbox after reading it instead of archiving it like I did with filters that were created in Gmail.... Right?
Let's make it simple: if you want to add a label, use copy, else use move.Ohh now understand the difference

I updated to this as I usually do (via github) but when I started it, no accounts present. (I had 3 registered) I'm trying to copy-paste the log but it will only allow me to copy one line at a time. I can't go back to 1.1516 as it's gone from github.
Edit:
Just reinstalled older version from a backup and started the app. Very strange. It reports that it's 1.1517???
I'm not sure what happened there but it seems to be working correctly now and search and browse still working well for me.

Version 1517, "Browse messages on the server" is switched ON for testing:
The list of emails is loaded on scrolling when it is needed and without problems. The oldest email can be found in the search. Browsing and searching are working as expected for me (LG G8s).
If the accounts, etc are gone, Android failed to preserve the data on updating. I hope you exported your settings, else there is no other solution than to configure the accounts again. Downgrading won't help in any case.

I like to hear opinions about the new layout of the settings screens.42
@M66B I've left the Use exact timers setting on for the last week and the logs indicate it's working properly. My connections are no longer being reset when I use a timeout of 10 minutes for mailbox.org and I have not seen any other issues arise as a result of it.
BTW, the CEO of mailbox.org is a fan and user of your app. Half way down this thread he says he "loves and uses FairEmail."
How did you do it? Did you need to elevate the status of the program so it doesn't sleep? Would that have any impact on battery life?2
I will see what I can do.Hello Marcel, I find the idea very good!
Unfortunately, I don't like the beige colour together with my favourite theme "grey", and I have therefore deactivated the option "Use beige background when using card style". Could you extend this setting so that the beige is also replaced by the same grey in the settings?2
I have restructured the settings several times and every solution has advantages and disadvantages.
The main goal now is to let the main settings page look more similar to the message list and less "old fashioned". The cards in the other settings pages are more to make everything consistent. -
16Somebody asked by email how messages are being fetched and why the app doesn't always download raw messages files, but I think the answer is generally interesting, which is why I am answering this question here.
A message is basically composed of body parts (text, images, attachments, etc). There is an IMAP command to fetch the structure of the message (which body parts there are) and there is an IMAP command to fetch (a piece) of any body part.
So, what the app does, is fetching the message structure, decoding it and fetching only the relevant parts. The plain text part will never be fetched when there is a HTML part (saving considerably on data and therefore on battery usage as well). The text/HTML part and the attachment parts will be fetched conditionally. You can limit the size to fetch when using a metered connection in the connection settings (on WiFi everything will be fetched unconditionally) or you can disable fetching texts and attachments in the folder properties. For example, I have disable this for the spam folder.
Small message texts will be fetched after fetching the structure of a message, but larger message texts and also attachments will be fetched after synchronizing all messages. This is to populate the list of messages as fast as possible. When needed, there will be a high priority operation queued to fetch the message text on opening/expanded the message or to fetch an attachment on tapping on it.
A raw message file is composed of all body parts preceded by the message flags (read, starred, etc) and the message headers (from, to, subject, etc) and can be downloaded as a whole only. This is fine on a personal computer with lots of storage space, connected with a cord to electric power, and an unlimited data connection, but not on battery power mobile devices with limited storage space and often limited mobile data bundles.
In the connection settings you can enable to always fetch headers and to always fetch raw messages files since a few versions. This can be useful if you often check headers and often forward raw messages and not always are connected to the internet.
There is a lot more to say about this. Feel free to ask questions.16Version 1.1575 is available on GitHub now.

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.37I have just released alpha version 0.15

I have put many hours into developing and debugging this release, so thanks are appreciated.
This version is still not suitable for production, but all basic functions are present now. The goal is now to stabilize this version into a first beta release, so please let me hear what problems you have.
Edit: due to database changes you'll need to setup your accounts/identities again.33I have just released beta version 1.745

The changelog might seem uninteresting, but in fact displaying messages has been rewritten to introduce inline displaying of original messages. I spent about two days developing and testing this, so at least a "thanks" will be appreciated.
Some background: normally the web view cannot be used in a scrolling list (of messages in a conversation) and although there exist several workarounds for this, none were satisfactory. However, I had a completely novel idea (as far as I know) about how to approach this without the usual edge cases (hopefully) !
To do: investigate if using a dark background is feasible (setting the background dark is simple, but the challenge is to modify the message so that everything is still readable). I will consider to add an option to always display original messages.
Please report any problem you discover, so it can be fixed.
