**(2) Why is there a permanent notification shown?**
A permanent status bar notification with the number of accounts being synchronized and the number of operations pending (see next question) is shown
A low priority permanent status bar notification with the number of accounts being synchronized and the number of operations pending (see next question) is shown
to prevent Android from killing the service that takes care of receiving and sending email.
Android shows icons of high priority status bar notifications first and will hide the icon of FairEmail's notification if there is no space to show icons anymore.
Most, if not all, other email apps don't show a notification
with the "side effect" that new messages are often not or late being reported and that messages are not or late being sent.
Background: this is necessary because of the introduction of [doze mode](https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby) in Android 6 Marshmallow.
Some people suggested to use [Firebase Cloud Messaging](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/) (FCM) instead of an Android service with a status bar notification,
but this would require email providers to send FCM messages or a central server where all messages are collected sending FCM messages.
The first is not going to happen and the last would have significant privacy implications.
If you came here by clicking on the notification, you should known that the next click will open the unified inbox.
