You can also reply with a template.

Note that you can make one or more templates favorite, which will show them directly in the answer popup menu.
Yes, I know, but that doesn't use so much here in my case, because I usually use templates here not for replying, but for composing, e.g. for my numerous birthday greeting emails.

I like to hear suggestions for a new release name:


Hi,

I like those 2, but can't picked one between :

*Euskelosaurus*
Euskelosaurus ("good leg lizard") (...). Fossils have only been recovered from the lower Elliot Formation in South Africa and Lesotho,[1] and in one locality in Zimbabwe.
Its bones are robust and it had a graviportal limb arrangement, a key character trait of basal sauropodomorphs.

*Elopteryx*
(...) found near Sînpetru, in what is now the Romanian region of Transylvania, some bone fragments of a small theropod.
The genus name Elopteryx is from Ancient Greek helos (ἕλος), "marsh" + pteryx (πτέρυξ), "wing".

Edit
This one is really interesting,
Name 'catching' 😇
Description with many level underlying...
but not sure everyone will be cool with the 'pun' and 'seriousness' of the description 🙃
*Epidexipteryx*

Since downloading attachments on demand doesn't appear to work anymore due to a recent change, version 1.1812 isn't available for downloading anymore. I will fix this soon.

Version 1.1814 is available on Bitbucket now. which means that there won't be an 'update' notification.

Since the protocol to set messages as seen (read), flagged (starred) and deleted (permanent deletion) has been changed, this is a somewhat EXPERIMENTAL RELEASE. If email is very important to you, please skip this version. Of course everything was tested, but there might be unforeseen side effects.

Download:
https://bitbucket.org/M66B/fairemail-test/downloads/FairEmail-v1.1814a-github-release.apk

Changelog:
https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

All changes:
https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/compare/1.1813...1.1814?w=1

Support for the Sensitivity header was added, and the value (personal, private, confidential) will be displayed in the message header (see the legend) and can be set via the send dialog (long press the send button if needed).

Hi everyone,

Maybe off topic, but about the sensitivity header and the RFC.
I tried to read the document but not sure about the outcome :
- is there a hierarchical relationship between the 3 values ?
or it's ''just'' a tag ?
- how do the server handle (if it supported) any message with that header set ? From a user perspective.
Do the a user could or not be able to do an action according to it ?

Thanks

It are 'tags', used by some companies.

For now, FairEmail does nothing with the headers, except add them when sending a message and show them for received messages.

As I see it (I might be wrong):
  • personal: only for you
  • private: for you and close persons
  • confidential: within an company/organization/department

Sensitive messages *should* not be (automatically) forwarded, but I don't think it is a good idea to enforce this in the app.

This is the best article I could find about this subject:

Hi Marcel,

Thanks for clarification.

And ''agreed'' as well.

We'll see how servers will handle it or not.

But, as always, FE still way beyond the top in the client game.

    How was the call with Google today, Marcel?

    Google was pretty friendly and cooperative and told me the favicons are indeed the problem, and it can/should be fixed by updating in the privacy policy to "disclose how your app accesses, collects, uses, and shares user data":

    Privacy Policy​

    All apps must post a privacy policy in both the designated field in Play Console and within the app itself. The privacy policy must, together with any in-app disclosures, comprehensively disclose how your app accesses, collects, uses, and shares user data, not limited by the data disclosed in the Data Safety section. This must include:
    • developer information and a privacy point of contact or a mechanism to submit inquiries
    • disclosing the types of personal and sensitive user data your app accesses, collects, uses, and shares; and any parties with which any personal or sensitive user data is shared
    • secure data handling procedures for personal and sensitive user data
    • the developer’s data retention and deletion policy
    • clear labeling as a privacy policy (e.g., listed as “privacy policy” in title)
    The entity (e.g., developer, company) named in the app’s Google Play listing must appear in the privacy policy or the app must be named in the privacy policy. Apps that do not access any personal and sensitive user data must still submit a privacy policy.

    Please make sure your privacy policy is available on an active URL (no PDFs) and is non-editable.

    So, I have updated the privacy policy and added this new table:

    https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/PRIVACY.md#summary-of-shared-data

    I am not sure if it covers everything, so feedback is more than welcome. @mkasimd maybe you can take a look?

    Note that I have also enabled BIMI, Gravatars, Libravatars and favicons for the Play store version again.

    The short term goal is to release a Play store test version (and associated GitHub version) and to get the update approved. I will think about the next steps after this has been accomplished. Given the huge number of supportive messages I received (much appreciated!) the project will be continued in some form in any case.

    Version 1.1900 is available on GitHub now and in the Play store test program after Google's approval (which is the main goal of this release).

    It is time for a new, modern, open source, privacy friendly email client for Android.

    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.

    I have just released alpha version 0.15

    Changelog/download:
    https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/releases

    With a bit of luck the next version can be a beta version.

    I am putting a lot of effort into this project, so thanks are appreciated.
