* Switch language: Android is not designed to change the language of an app and on recent Android versions it even causes problems. So, better fix the translation in your language if needed, see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq26) about how to.

**(74) Why do I see duplicate messages?**
Some providers, notably Gmail, list all messages in all folders, except trashed messages, in the archive (all messages) folder too.
FairEmail shows all these messages, except for one, dimmed, to indicate that these messages are in fact the same message.
Gmail allows one message to have multiple labels, which are presented to FairEmail as folders.
This means that messages with multiple labels will be shown multiple times as well.
Since there is not really an original message because it is in fact just the same message, it is not really possible to show just one message.
