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

[wimstefan]

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 ...

Looking good so far for my simple usage profile

Is there a short (text-)warning about this when the app finds a new version?

The GitHub version will automatically check for updates and notify you if one was found, unless you disabled this in the miscellaneous settings.

@M66B Dear Marcel, this is a good setting option / circumstance, but does the corresponding message also contain a small warning about exporting the data beforehand? I'm just a normal user from a non-binary galaxy ...

This should normally not be necessary. Personally, I have never lost any data by updating the app, which I have done literally 10,000s of times!

Hi Marcel,

Speaking of export/import area

1. As I already searched the thread: export settings doesn't export the rules, right?
Need to go per folder to "edit rules" screen and export/import from there?
2. No way of exporting local notes, correct?

Thank you!

Browsing and searching works fine for me from what I can tell right now.

I have a minor priority feature request for the rules:
Would be nice if I could check for how old a mail is.
My use case would be "delete mails from sender x when they are older than y days"

Rules are meant to be executed when a new message arrives. At that moment a message is always new.

Maybe you want to change the folder "keep" time instead?

The main export (via the settings screen) exports everything, including rules.

Local notes cannot be exported, but I will add this to my to do list to look into. The challenge will be to find back the original message.

Oh, okay. Currently the keep time would not help, because there are other mails in this folder, but I'll try to figure out a solution for this (folder specially for this sender) or live with it. Thanks.

If the messages of this sender are special in some way, this would be a good justification for a special folder and a special treatment IMHO. That's what I do too ;-)

 

[AndroAlex]

Hmm, it's just a train of thought regarding the original messages to which a note is attached ... maybe the original message is simply marked with a red star and left in the original folder, while the annotated (copied) message is in its own folder ( "FairNotes") stored ... that might also keep the overview of the "note / to-do" emails ...

They are not special enough normally. These are my Dominos mails (again ) and they are pushed per rule to a folder where other sales discount mails are (manually moved) stored.
I just look for this mails when I really want to order pizzas (seldom), not because there is any discount offer (often), but the discounts have an expiration of validity and the mails are useless after some time.
Other mails in this folder should be stored longer and will be deleted manually.

tl;dr
I think they get a separate folder

I think they get a separate folder

A FairMailNote-folder with an alarming-system

It is on my to do list to look into copying notes.

Sorry.. What exactly is "local notes"?

Sorry.. What exactly is "local notes"?

This is a relative new option: in the horizontal three-dots menu just above the message text near the left side there is a new option to write a little note for yourself, like "Call back on Wednesday", etc, which will be shown in the message header.

If you use this often, you can enable a button for this via the horizontal three-dots menu too.

Yap.
Both browsing and searching seems to be working great.

On galaxy s9+ btw...

Working great. Scrolled all the way back to 2008 when I was a lot younger and dumber seriously though - all good

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!

Still working like a charm here !
[Device p30pro Android 10.1]
Browse ==as usual
Search => even faster

Thanks Marcel
