Safe email

Frequently Asked Questions

(1) Which permissions are needed and why?

  • Full network access (INTERNET): to send and receive email
  • View network connections (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): to monitor internet connectivity changes
  • Run at startup (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED): to start monitoring on device start

(2) What are operations?

The low priority status bar notification shows the number of pending operations, which can be:

  • Mark message as seen/unseen in remote folder
  • Add message to remote folder
  • Move message to another remote folder
  • Delete message from remote folder
  • Send message
  • Download attachment

(3) What is a valid security certificate?

Valid security certificates are officially signed (not self signed) and have matching a host name.

(4) Why is IMAP IDLE required?

Without IMAP IDLE emails need to be periodically fetched, which is a waste of battery power and internet bandwidth and will delay notification of new emails.
