Did you the manual update check (long press 'About') work?- Yes long press about button gives update notification.

In the miscellaneous settings:

Check for Github updates is on
Check weekly instead of daily is off

If the manual update works, the automatic update should work too. Maybe you installed new versions faster than the check for an update occurred ;-)

Could be i usually update as soon as i get the e-mail from Github.
Next release i'll wait to see if it gives me a update notification.

Since I got two reports that automatic updating doesn't work anymore: do you still get an update notification if there is a new GitHub update?

I've opened FE and I got the update notification right now, so it works perfectly.

The confusion is probably caused by the fact that FE is limited to check Github for an update only every few hours. That can result in getting the email notification from Github first.

I also get github updates. No issue

The Play store reviews of the last few days are pretty disappointing to say the least. Some nice reviews would be appreciated.

Sometimes I am wondering why I am running this project anyway.

Somebody shared this German article with me, which is pretty to the point:

Luca-App versus Open Source

Die Luca-App enthält Code aus einem Open-Source-Projekt, hat aber dessen Lizenz verletzt. Die zugehörige Meldung bestimmte die Schlagzeilen der vergangenen Wochen. Doch was genau ist eigentlich Open Source, was ist der Unterschied zu Freier Software, und was lässt sich über Open Source lernen?

Hi to you all,
Just a quick question regarding the return receipt message/template.
I just browsed the FAQ but did not find any answer. Is the default return receipt message editable anywhere in FairEmail, or do I have to create a template and every time I send a return receipt delete/replace the default message with my template.
As Portuguese speaking person I would rather have a return receipt message in Portuguese.
Thank you in advance,
Best regards,
Luis

The read receipt message will be in the language(s) of your device. Note that you can select multiple languages in the Android settings, if you are using a recent Android version and that the read receipt will be multi lingual too.

@M66B,
Ok, I see, I usually use my device in English only.
In case I want a different ( content ) return receipt message, then I must create a template, right?
Best regards,
Luis

Try selecting Portuguese as second language in the Android system settings.

I understood that to send a return receipt in Portuguese I should add Portuguese as second language.
What I was asking was if I wanted a different receipt message like "Relatório de Entrega: Lida.", then I must create a template, right?
Best regards,
Luis.

If you want to send a custom answer, a reply template will be the simplest, yes.

I haven't understand the rules completely. What happens (and what are the consequences even with other clients) if I define a rule?

I assume the email is moved automatically from fairmail. Some questions in fairmail:
- if sync is deactivated for this folder what happens?
- is the email still shown in my inbox or can I miss the email?
- what happens with the rule if I opened the email with another client during deactivated mobile connection

For other clients:
- what happens in other clients if the rule was applied? Can I miss the email there? (I use thunderbird on my private desktop as well a Web client for my office desktop)

Can someone explain?

A I said, you see the mail only in your inbox if you copy instead of move otherwise you have to look in the destination folder.
If you only open the mail in TB (an not delete them) the rule will be execute if the mail arrived on your phone.

If sync is disabled, nothing will happen.

If you move a message with a rule, it will be shown in the target folder only.

If a rule matches, it will be executed, independent on when the message arrives on the device.

But if the mail not arrive on the device there is no matching and therefor also no rule-execution.

True, if the message never arrives, no rules will be executed.

Hello again,
I followed the FAQ How can I synchronize Gmail categories? to replicate the behavior of the GMail app and to avoid notifications from emails from gmail categories. ( Ex. Promotions goes to label Promo with a rule no to go to inbox (archive it) ).
In FairEmail I set the Promo folder not to issue notifications and to synchronize. Should I synchronize Promo periodically 1x15min or continuous synchronize? Which is more battery friendly? or causes less expensive action?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Luis.
