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

[mermaidkiller]

I have installed this app as a replacement of K9 and it is awesome. But I cannot delete more than 10 (!) messages at once.

How can I delete all items in the trash ?

There appears to be a hardcoded limit of 10 messages, so when cleaning up a trash of 100 messages, one has to repeat this action ten times ?

This will be changed in the next release (today).

if you select the folder icon at the top and then select the trash folder , there will be a trash can icon at the top of the page. click on it and then select "empty trash".

I have a question regarding avatar pictures of senders. Can I enable that a picture of the sender is shown, at least for people which have a picture assigned in the contact list?

Yes, you can enable this in the display settings.

I was using the XDA version and decided to change to the Playstore version. I had purchased Pro for both versions. I exported my settings from XDA and then imported them into the Playstore version.
Everything seems to be working except widgets. The widgets do not work and have a question mark.

What have I done wrong?

Android manages widgets and sometimes just loses track, which is one of the many Android bugs. Try adding the widgets again.

I removed and added them several times, with different accounts and still not working.

A question mark means that a widget wasn't updated. Try to refresh the messages list.

I looked through FAQ and search this thread for 'exit' but there was only one post from years ago, so my really simple and stupid question:

How do I exit this app/How do I close this app?

I do not want to have it run most of the time, since I use POP3 anyway with my desktop PC, so I only want to use FairEmail like once a week (via IMAP) and not have it run all the time for nothing. I'm ok with it restarting on reboot, that is no issue.

Just disable receiving in the receive settings and you can synchronize manually.

I went to the app information, deleted all storage and then the app itself. After reinstalling the app, I added a Gmail account, imported my settings and added the widgets.

All works again.

Well the thing is, I like automatic synchronization, but I don't need it most of the time.
Example: I leave the house for some hours and I want automatic sync. But at home again I want to shut down the app for the next few days so I don't see the notification all the time and it pulling mails for no reason.
This is why I thought maybe an "exit" button in the hamburger menu would be neat, since it's much quicker to access(?) Maybe with a mandatory message box informing the user that this will stop sync if you are think people might expect sync to continue working.

Generally, Android apps do not work like this.

There is a widget to quickly enable/disable sync. Alternatively, there is a settings tile for the same.

Hello everybody. I have searched the settings and also searched here in the thread but I cannot find a setting that allows the date to be permanently displayed in the message overview when scrolling. Is there a possibility or could it at least be included as a suggestion?

Imagine that all visible messages, which are being loaded and draw asynchronously, need to be inspected to determine which date needs to be shown at the top. That won't work and would most certainly cause a lot of stuttering. So, there is no option for this. In return, scrolling through message is pretty fluid and the app won't have problems with handling 100 thousands of messages either.
