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

Version 1.1516 is available on GitHub now and will be available in the Play store test program after Google's approval, mostly within a few hours.

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

This version will show searched and browsed messages faster. Please let me know if everything still works as expected. "It works fine" will be appreciated too!

Browse = download more messages from the email server on scrolling down. This is enabled by default and can be disabled in the advanced account settings.

I have also added searching for texts in local notes. I needed that myself ...

Just tested the browse . Works beautifully

Hi, how can I utilize this feature:

• Added auto expand single starred messages

BTW: I bought the play store version and gave you 5 stars. The software, the software's qualities, the software's support, the software's maintenance, etc. are excellent. Thanks for making this happen

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.

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.

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.
