## Autorizarea conturilor
|
||
|
||
În cele mai multe cazuri, asistentul de configurare rapidă va fi capabil să identifice automat configurația corectă.
|
||
|
||
Dacă expertul de configurare rapidă eșuează, va trebui să configurați manual un cont (pentru a primi e-mailuri) și o identitate (pentru a trimite e-mailuri). Pentru aceasta veți avea nevoie de adresele și numerele de port ale serverelor IMAP și SMTP, dacă trebuie utilizat SSL/TLS sau STARTTLS și numele dvs. de utilizator (în general, dar nu întotdeauna, adresa dvs. de e-mail) și parola.
|
||
|
||
Căutarea *IMAP* și a numelui furnizorului este de cele mai multe ori suficientă pentru a găsi documentația corectă.
|
||
|
||
În unele cazuri, va trebui să activați accesul extern la contul dvs. și/sau să utilizați o parolă specială (aplicație), de exemplu atunci când este activată autentificarea cu doi factori.

## Probleme cunoscute
|
||
|
||
* ~~A [bug în Android 5.1 și 6](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37054851) face ca aplicațiile să afișeze uneori un format de timp greșit. Comutând setarea Android *Folosiți formatul 24 de ore* ar putea rezolva temporar problema. O soluție a fost adăugată.~~
|
||
* ~~Un [bug în Google Drive](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/126362828) face ca fișierele exportate în Google Drive să fie goale. Google a rezolvat acest lucru.~~
|
||
* ~~A [bug în AndroidX](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/78495471) face ca FairEmail să se blocheze ocazional la apăsarea lungă sau la glisare. Google a rezolvat acest lucru.~~
|
||
* ~~Un [bug în AndroidX ROOM](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/138441698) provoacă uneori o blocare cu "*... Excepție în timpul calculării datelor live ale bazei de date ... Nu s-a putut citi rândul ...*". A fost adăugată o soluție de rezolvare.~~
|
||
* Un [bug în Android](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/119872129) face ca FairEmail să se prăbușească cu "*... O notificare greșită a fost postată ...*" pe unele dispozitive o dată după ce ați actualizat FairEmail și ați apăsat pe o notificare.
|
||
* Un [bug din Android](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/62427912) cauzează uneori o prăbușire cu "*... Înregistrarea activității nu a fost găsită pentru ...*" după actualizarea FairEmail. Reinstalarea ([sursa](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46309428/android-activitythread-reportsizeconfigurations-causes-app-to-freeze-with-black)) ar putea rezolva problema.
|
||
* Un [bug din Android](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37018931) provoacă uneori o prăbușire cu *... InputChannel nu este inițializat ...* pe unele dispozitive.
|
||
* ~~Un [bug în LineageOS](https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_base/+/265273) provoacă uneori o eroare cu *... java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfOfBoundsException: length=...; index=... ...*.~~
|
||
* O eroare în Nova Launcher pe Android 5.x face ca FairEmail să se prăbușească cu un *java.lang.StackOverflowError* atunci când Nova Launcher are acces la serviciul de accesibilitate.
|
||
* ~~Selectorul de dosare nu afișează uneori niciun dosar din motive încă necunoscute. Acest lucru pare a fi rezolvat.~~
|
||
* ~~Un [bug în AndroidX](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/64729576) face dificilă apucarea scroll-ului rapid. A fost adăugată o soluție de rezolvare.~~
|
||
* ~~Criptarea cu YubiKey duce la o buclă infinită. Acest lucru pare să fie cauzat de un [bug în OpenKeychain](https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain/issues/2507).~~
|
||
* Derularea către o locație legată intern în mesajele originale nu funcționează. Acest lucru nu poate fi rezolvat deoarece vizualizarea mesajului original este inclusă într-o vizualizare cu derulare.
|
||
* O previzualizare a textului unui mesaj nu apare (întotdeauna) pe ceasurile Samsung, deoarece [setLocalOnly](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/app/NotificationCompat.Builder.html#setLocalOnly(boolean)) pare să fie ignorat. Se știe că textele de previzualizare a mesajelor sunt afișate corect pe dispozitivele portabile Pebble 2, Fitbit Charge 3, Mi band 3 și Xiaomi Amazfit BIP. A se vedea, de asemenea, [acest FAQ](#user-content-faq126).
|
||
* Un [bug din Android 6.0](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37068143) provoacă o blocare cu *... Decalaj invalid: ... Intervalul valabil este ...* atunci când textul este selectat și atingerea în afara textului selectat. Această eroare a fost corectată în Android 6.0.1.
|
||
* Legăturile interne (cu ancoră) nu vor funcționa deoarece mesajele originale sunt afișate într-un WebView încorporat într-o vizualizare derulantă (lista de conversații). Aceasta este o limitare a sistemului Android care nu poate fi reparată sau evitată.
|
||
* Detectarea limbii [nu mai funcționează](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/173337263) pe dispozitivele Pixel cu (actualizat la?) Android 11
|
||
* Un [bug din OpenKeychain](https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain/issues/2688) provoacă semnături PGP invalide atunci când se utilizează un token hardware.
|
||
|
||
## Funcții planificate
|
||
|
||
* ~~Sincronizare la cerere (manuală)~~
|
||
* ~~Criptare semi-automată~~
|
||
* ~~Copiază mesajul~~
|
||
* ~~Stele colorate~~
|
||
* ~~Setări de notificare pentru fiecare dosar~~
|
||
* ~~Selectați imagini locale pentru semnături~~ (acest lucru nu va fi adăugat pentru că necesită gestionarea fișierelor de imagine și pentru că imaginile nu sunt afișate în mod implicit în majoritatea clienților de e-mail oricum)
|
||
* ~~Afișează mesajele care corespund unei reguli~~
|
||
* ~~[ManageSieve](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5804)~~~ (nu există biblioteci Java întreținute cu o licență adecvată și fără dependențe și în afară de asta, FairEmail are propriile reguli de filtrare)
|
||
* ~~Cercetarea mesajelor cu/fără atașamente~~ (acest lucru nu poate fi adăugat deoarece IMAP nu acceptă căutarea de atașamente)
|
||
* ~~Căutați un dosar~~ (filtrarea unei liste de dosare ierarhice este problematică)
|
||
* ~~Sugestii de căutare~~
|
||
* ~~[Autocrypt Setup Message](https://autocrypt.org/autocrypt-spec-1.0.0.pdf) (secțiunea 4.4)~~ (IMO nu este o idee bună să lași un client de e-mail să se ocupe de cheile de criptare sensibile pentru un caz de utilizare excepțională, în timp ce OpenKeychain poate exporta și chei)
|
||
* ~~Dosare unificate generice~~
|
||
* ~~ Noile programe de notificare a mesajelor pentru fiecare cont~~ (implementate prin adăugarea unei condiții de timp la reguli, astfel încât mesajele să poată fi amânate în perioadele selectate)
|
||
* ~~Copiază conturile și identitățile~~
|
||
* ~~Micșorarea cu zoom~~ (nu este posibilă în mod fiabil într-o listă derulantă; în schimb, se poate mări vizualizarea completă a mesajului)
|
||
* ~~O vizualizare mai compactă a dosarelor~~
|
||
* ~~Compuneți liste și tabele~~ (acest lucru necesită un editor de text bogat, consultați [acest FAQ](#user-content-faq99))
|
||
* ~~Dimensiunea textului cu zoom ~~
|
||
* ~~Afișează GIF-uri~~
|
||
* ~~Themes~~~ (au fost adăugate o temă gri deschis și o temă întunecată pentru că asta este ceea ce majoritatea oamenilor par să vrea)
|
||
* ~~Condiție de timp pentru orice zi~~ (orice zi nu se potrivește cu adevărat în condiția de la/la data/ora)
|
||
* ~~Trimiteți ca atașament ~~
|
||
* ~~Widget pentru contul selectat~~
|
||
* ~~Amintiți-vă să atașați fișiere ~~
|
||
* ~~Selectați domeniile pentru care doriți să afișați imagini~~ (acest lucru va fi prea complicat de utilizat)
|
||
* ~~ Vizualizare unificată a mesajelor cu stele~~ (există deja o căutare specială pentru acest lucru)
|
||
* ~~Mutarea acțiunii de notificare~~
|
||
* ~~S/MIME suport~~
|
||
* ~~ Căutați setările ~~
|
||
|
||
Orice lucru de pe această listă este în ordine aleatorie și *poate* fi adăugat în viitorul apropiat.

## Funcții solicitate frecvent
|
||
|
||
Designul se bazează pe multe discuții și dacă doriți puteți discuta despre el [ și pe acest forum](https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/source-email-t3824168) de asemenea. Scopul designului este de a fi minimalist (fără meniuri inutile, butoane, etc.) și de a nu distrage atenția (fără culori fanteziste, animații, etc.). Toate lucrurile expuse ar trebui să fie utile într-un fel sau altul și ar trebui să fie poziționate cu grijă pentru a fi utilizate cu ușurință. Fonturile, dimensiunile, culorile etc. ar trebui să fie de tip material design ori de câte ori este posibil.

|
||
[Permisiunile opționale](https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting) sunt acceptate numai pe Android 6 Marshmallow și următoarele. Pe versiunile anterioare de Android vi se va cere să acordați permisiunile opționale la instalarea FairEmail.

||
|
||
Următoarele permisiuni sunt necesare pentru a afișa numărul de mesaje necitite sub formă de insignă (a se vedea și [acest FAQ](#user-content-faq106)):

FairEmail va păstra o listă cu adresele de la care primești mesaje și la care trimiți mesaje. și va folosi această listă pentru sugestii de contacte atunci când FairEmail nu are permisiuni de contact. Acest lucru înseamnă că puteți utiliza FairEmail fără furnizorul de contacte Android (agendă). Rețineți că puteți alege în continuare contacte fără a acorda permisiuni de contacte pentru FairEmail, numai că sugerarea contactelor nu va funcționa fără permisiuni de contacte.

|
||
**(2) De ce este afișată o notificare permanentă?**
|
||
|
||
Se afișează o notificare permanentă pe bara de stare cu prioritate scăzută, cu numărul de conturi monitorizate și numărul de operațiuni în așteptare (a se vedea întrebarea următoare). pentru a împiedica Android să ucidă serviciul care se ocupă de primirea continuă a e-mailurilor. Acest lucru era [deja necesar](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html#startForeground(int,%20android.app.Notification)), dar, odată cu introducerea [modului doze](https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby) în Android 6 Marshmallow, acest lucru este mai mult ca niciodată necesar. Modul Doze va opri toate aplicațiile atunci când ecranul este oprit pentru o anumită perioadă de timp, cu excepția cazului în care aplicația a inițiat un serviciu în prim-plan, ceea ce necesită afișarea unei notificări în bara de stare.
|
||
|
||
Cele mai multe, dacă nu toate celelalte aplicații de e-mail nu afișează o notificare cu "efectul secundar" că, adesea, mesajele noi nu sunt raportate sau sunt raportate cu întârziere și că mesajele nu sunt trimise sau sunt trimise cu întârziere.
|
||
|
||
Android afișează mai întâi pictogramele notificărilor cu prioritate ridicată din bara de stare și va ascunde pictograma notificării FairEmail dacă nu mai există spațiu pentru a afișa pictogramele. În practică, acest lucru înseamnă că notificarea din bara de stare nu ocupă spațiu în bara de stare, cu excepția cazului în care există spațiu disponibil.
|
||
|
||
Notificarea din bara de stare poate fi dezactivată prin intermediul setărilor de notificare din FairEmail:
|
||
|
||
* Android 8 Oreo și versiunile ulterioare: apăsați pe butonul *Canal de recepție* și dezactivați canalul prin intermediul setărilor Android (acest lucru nu va dezactiva notificările de mesaje noi)
|
||
* Android 7 Nougat și înainte: activați *Utilizați serviciul de fundal pentru a sincroniza mesajele*, dar asigurați-vă că citiți observația de sub setare
|
||
|
||
Puteți trece la sincronizarea periodică a mesajelor în setările de recepție pentru a elimina notificarea, dar trebuie să știți că acest lucru ar putea consuma mai multă energie din baterie. Consultați [aici](#user-content-faq39) pentru mai multe detalii despre utilizarea bateriei.
|
||
|
||
Android 8 Oreo ar putea afișa, de asemenea, o notificare în bara de stare cu textul *Aplicațiile rulează în fundal*. Vă rugăm să consultați [aici](https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/7vw7l4/psa_turn_off_background_apps_notification/) despre cum puteți dezactiva această notificare.
|
||
|
||
Unele persoane au sugerat să utilizați [Firebase Cloud Messaging](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/) (FCM) în locul unui serviciu Android cu o notificare în bara de stare, dar acest lucru ar necesita ca furnizorii de e-mail să trimită mesaje FCM sau un server central unde sunt colectate toate mesajele care trimit mesaje FCM. Prima variantă nu se va întâmpla, iar ultima ar avea implicații semnificative asupra vieții private.
|
||
|
||
Dacă ați ajuns aici făcând clic pe notificare, trebuie să știți că următorul clic va deschide căsuța de primire unificată.

|
||
**(3) Ce sunt operațiunile și de ce sunt în așteptare?**
|
||
|
||
Notificarea din bara de stare cu prioritate scăzută arată numărul de operațiuni în așteptare, care pot fi:
|
||
|
||
* *add*: adaugă mesajul la folderul de la distanță
|
||
* *move*: mută mesajul în alt folder la distanță
|
||
* *copy*: copiază mesajul într-un alt folder la distanță
|
||
* *fetch*: preluarea mesajului modificat (împins)
|
||
* *delete*: șterge mesajul din folderul de la distanță
|
||
* *seen*: marchează mesajul ca fiind citit/necitit în folderul de la distanță
|
||
* *răspuns*: marchează mesajul ca răspuns în folderul de la distanță
|
||
* *flag*: adăugare/eliminare stea în folderul de la distanță
|
||
* *cuvânt cheie*: adăugarea/eliminarea indicatorului IMAP în folderul la distanță
|
||
* *label*: setează/resetează eticheta Gmail în folderul de la distanță
|
||
* *anteturi*: descarcă anteturile mesajului
|
||
* *neprelucrat*: descarcă mesajul original
|
||
* *body*: descarcă textul mesajului
|
||
* *atașament*: descărcare atașament
|
||
* *sincronizare*: sincronizarea mesajelor locale și la distanță
|
||
* *abonare*: abonare la folderul de la distanță
|
||
* *curăţare*: șterge toate mesajele din folderul de la distanță
|
||
* *trimite*: trimite un mesaj
|
||
* *există*: verifică dacă mesajul există
|
||
* *regulă*: execută regula pe corpul textului
|
||
* *expunere*: șterge permanent mesajele
|
||
|
||
Operațiunile sunt procesate numai atunci când există o conexiune la serverul de e-mail sau atunci când se efectuează o sincronizare manuală. A se vedea, de asemenea, [acest FAQ](#user-content-faq16).

|
||
**(4) Cum pot folosi un certificat de securitate invalid / o parolă goală / o conexiune în text simplu?**
|
||
|
||
*... Neacreditat ... nu este în certificat...*
|
||
<br />
|
||
*... Certificat de securitate invalid (Nu se poate verifica identitatea serverului) ...*
|
||
|
||
Acest lucru poate fi cauzat de utilizarea unui nume de gazdă incorect, așa că mai întâi verificați de două ori numele de gazdă în setările avansate de identitate/cont ( apăsați Configurare manuală). Vă rugăm să consultați documentația furnizorului de e-mail cu privire la numele de gazdă corect.
|
||
|
||
Ar trebui să încercați să remediați această problemă contactând furnizorul dvs. sau obținând un certificat de securitate valabil deoarece certificatele de securitate nevalabile sunt nesigure și permit [ atacuri de tip "man-in-the-middle" ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack). Dacă banii reprezintă un obstacol, puteți obține certificate de securitate gratuite de la [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org).
|
||
|
||
Soluția rapidă, dar nesigură (nerecomandată), este de a activa *Conexiuni nesigure* în setările avansate de identitate (meniul de navigare, atingeți *Settings*, atingeți *Manual setup*, atingeți *Identities*, atingeți identitatea, atingeți *Advanced*).
|
||
|
||
Alternativ, puteți accepta amprenta digitală a certificatelor de server nevalabile în felul următor:
|
||
|
||
1. Asigurați-vă că folosiți o conexiune de internet de încredere (fără rețele Wi-Fi publice etc.)
|
||
1. Accesați ecranul de configurare prin intermediul meniului de navigare (glisați din partea stângă spre interior)
|
||
1. Atingeți Configurare manuală, atingeți Conturi/Identități și atingeți contul și identitatea defecte
|
||
1. Verificarea/salvarea contului și a identității
|
||
1. Bifați caseta de selectare de sub mesajul de eroare și salvați din nou
|
||
|
||
Acest lucru va "prinde" certificatul serverului pentru a preveni atacurile de tip man-in-the-middle.
|
||
|
||
Rețineți că este posibil ca versiunile mai vechi de Android să nu recunoască autoritățile de certificare mai noi, cum ar fi Let's Encrypt, ceea ce face ca conexiunile să fie considerate nesigure, a se vedea, de asemenea, [ aici](https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-ssl).
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
*Nu s-a găsit ancora de încredere pentru calea de certificare*
|
||
|
||
*... java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Nu s-a găsit ancora de încredere pentru calea de certificare ...* înseamnă că managerul implicit de încredere Android nu a reușit să verifice lanțul de certificate al serverului.
|
||
|
||
Acest lucru se poate datora faptului că certificatul rădăcină nu este instalat pe dispozitivul dvs. sau pentru că lipsesc certificatele intermediare, de exemplu, pentru că serverul de e-mail nu le-a trimis.
|
||
|
||
Puteți rezolva prima problemă descărcând și instalând certificatul rădăcină de pe site-ul web al furnizorului de certificate.
|
||
|
||
A doua problemă ar trebui să fie rezolvată prin modificarea configurației serverului sau prin importarea certificatelor intermediare pe dispozitiv.
|
||
|
||
Puteți să fixați și certificatul, a se vedea mai sus.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
*Parolă goală*
|
||
|
||
Numele dvs. de utilizator este probabil ușor de ghicit, deci acest lucru este nesigur.
|
||
|
||
*Conexiune în text simplu*
|
||
|
||
Numele tău de utilizator și parola și toate mesajele vor fi trimise și primite necriptate, ceea ce este **foarte nesigur** deoarece un [man-in-the-middle atac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack) este foarte simplu pe o conexiune necriptată.
|
||
|
||
Dacă doriți totuși să utilizați un certificat de securitate invalid, o parolă goală sau o conexiune în text simplu va trebui să activați conexiunile nesigure în setările contului și/sau ale identității. STARTTLS trebuie să fie selectat pentru conexiunile de text simplu. Dacă activați conexiunile nesigure, trebuie să vă conectați numai prin intermediul rețelelor private, de încredere și niciodată prin intermediul rețelelor publice, cum ar fi cele oferite în hoteluri, aeroporturi etc.

**(5) Cum pot personaliza vizualizarea mesajelor?**
|
||
|
||
În meniul cu trei puncte overflow puteți activa sau dezactiva sau selecta:
|
||
|
||
* *mărimea textului*: pentru trei mărimi de font diferite
|
||
* *vedere compactă*: pentru elemente de mesaj mai condensate și un font mai mic pentru textul mesajului
|
||
|
||
În secțiunea de afișare a setărilor puteți activa sau dezactiva, de exemplu:
|
||
|
||
* *Bucată de primire unificată*: pentru a dezactiva căsuța de primire unificată și pentru a lista în schimb folderele selectate pentru căsuța de primire unificată
|
||
* *Stilul tabelar*: pentru a afișa o listă liniară în loc de carduri
|
||
* *Grupează după dată*: afișează antetul cu data deasupra mesajelor cu aceeași dată
|
||
* *Transmiterea conversației*: pentru a dezactiva citirea conversației și pentru a afișa în schimb mesaje individuale
|
||
* *Bara de acțiune a conversației*: pentru a dezactiva bara de navigare de jos
|
||
* *Culoare de evidențiere*: pentru a selecta o culoare pentru expeditorul mesajelor necitite
|
||
* *Show contact photos*: pentru a ascunde fotografiile de contact
|
||
* *Show names and email addresses*: pentru a afișa nume sau pentru a afișa nume și adrese de e-mail
|
||
* *Afișează subiectul în italic*: pentru a afișa subiectul mesajului ca text normal
|
||
* *Arată stele*: pentru a ascunde stelele (favorite)
|
||
* *Show message preview*: pentru a afișa 1-4 rânduri din textul mesajului
|
||
* *Show address details by default*: pentru a extinde implicit secțiunea de adrese
|
||
* *Afișarea automată a mesajului original pentru contactele cunoscute*: pentru a afișa automat mesajele originale pentru contactele de pe dispozitiv, vă rugăm să citiți [acest FAQ](#user-content-faq35)
|
||
* *Afișarea automată a imaginilor pentru contactele cunoscute*: pentru a afișa automat imagini pentru contactele de pe dispozitiv, vă rugăm să citiți [acest FAQ](#user-content-faq35)
|
||
|
||
Rețineți că mesajele pot fi previzualizate numai atunci când textul mesajului a fost descărcat. Textele cu mesaje mai mari nu sunt descărcate în mod implicit în rețelele cu contorizare (în general mobile). Puteți modifica acest lucru în setările de conectare.
|
||
|
||
Unii oameni întreabă:
|
||
|
||
* pentru a afișa subiectul cu bold, dar boldul este deja folosit pentru a evidenția mesajele necitite
|
||
* pentru a muta steaua spre stânga, dar este mult mai ușor să acționați steaua pe partea dreaptă

**(6) Cum pot să mă conectez la Gmail / G suite?**
|
||
|
||
Dacă folosiți versiunea FairEmail din Play Store sau GitHub, puteți utiliza expertul de configurare rapidă pentru a configura cu ușurință un cont și o identitate Gmail. Expertul de configurare rapidă Gmail nu este disponibil pentru versiunile terțe, cum ar fi versiunea F-Droid. deoarece Google a aprobat utilizarea OAuth doar pentru compilările oficiale.
|
||
|
||
Dacă nu doriți sau nu puteți utiliza un cont Google pe dispozitiv, de exemplu pe dispozitivele Huawei recente, puteți fie să activați accesul pentru "aplicații mai puțin sigure" și să folosiți parola contului dvs. (nerecomandat) fie activați autentificarea cu doi factori și utilizați o parolă specifică pentru o aplicație. Pentru a utiliza o parolă, va trebui să configurați un cont și o identitate prin configurarea manuală în loc de expertul de configurare rapidă.
|
||
|
||
**Important**: uneori Google emite această alertă:
|
||
|
||
*[ALERT] Vă rugăm să vă conectați prin intermediul browserului dvs. web: https://support.google.com/mail/accounts/answer/78754 (eșec)*
|
||
|
||
Această verificare de securitate Google este declanșată mai des cu *aplicații mai puțin sigure* activate, mai puțin cu o parolă de aplicație și cu greu atunci când se utilizează un cont pe dispozitiv (OAuth).
|
||
|
||
Vă rugăm să consultați [acest FAQ](#user-content-faq111) pentru a afla de ce pot fi utilizate doar conturile de pe dispozitiv.
|
||
|
||
Rețineți că este necesară o parolă specifică aplicației atunci când este activată autentificarea în doi factori.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
*Parolă specifică aplicației*
|
||
|
||
Consultați [aici](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833) despre cum să generați o parolă specifică aplicației.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
*Activați "Aplicații mai puțin sigure"*
|
||
|
||
**Important**: utilizarea acestei metode nu este recomandată, deoarece este mai puțin fiabilă.
|
||
|
||
**Important**: Conturile Gsuite autorizate cu un nume de utilizator/parolă nu vor mai funcționa [în viitorul apropiat](https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2019/12/less-secure-apps-oauth-google-username-password-incorrect.html).
|
||
|
||
Vedeți [aici](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255) despre cum să activați "aplicații mai puțin sigure" sau mergeți [direct la setare](https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps).
|
||
|
||
Dacă utilizați mai multe conturi Gmail, asigurați-vă că modificați setarea "Aplicații mai puțin sigure" a contului (conturilor) potrivit.
|
||
|
||
Rețineți că trebuie să părăsiți ecranul de setări "aplicații mai puțin sigure" folosind săgeata înapoi pentru a aplica setările.
|
||
|
||
Dacă utilizați această metodă, ar trebui să folosiți o parolă [puternică](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength) pentru contul dvs. de Gmail, ceea ce este oricum o idee bună. Rețineți că utilizarea protocolului [standard](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501) IMAP în sine nu este mai puțin sigură.
|
||
|
||
Atunci când opțiunea "Aplicații mai puțin sigure" nu este activată, veți primi eroarea *Autentificare eșuată - acreditări invalide* pentru conturi (IMAP) și *Nume de utilizator și parolă neacceptate* pentru identități (SMTP).
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
*Informații generale*
|
||
|
||
Este posibil să primiți alerta "*Vă rugăm să vă conectați prin intermediul browserului web*". Acest lucru se întâmplă atunci când Google consideră că rețeaua care vă conectează la internet (poate fi un VPN) nu este sigură. Acest lucru poate fi evitat prin utilizarea asistentului de configurare rapidă Gmail sau a unei parole specifice aplicației.
|

||
**(7) De ce mesajele trimise nu apar (direct) în dosarul trimis?**
|
||
|
||
În mod normal, mesajele trimise sunt mutate din căsuța de ieșire în dosarul de expediere imediat ce furnizorul dvs. adaugă mesajele trimise în dosarul de expediere. Acest lucru necesită selectarea unui dosar trimis în setările contului, iar dosarul trimis trebuie să fie setat pentru sincronizare.
|
||
|
||
Unii furnizori nu țin evidența mesajelor trimise sau este posibil ca serverul SMTP utilizat să nu aibă legătură cu furnizorul. În aceste cazuri, FairEmail, va adăuga automat mesajele trimise la dosarul trimis la sincronizarea dosarului trimis, care va avea loc după ce un mesaj a fost trimis. Rețineți că acest lucru va avea ca rezultat un trafic de internet suplimentar.
|
||
|
||
~~Dacă acest lucru nu se întâmplă, este posibil ca furnizorul dumneavoastră să nu țină evidența mesajelor trimise sau să folosiți un server SMTP care nu are legătură cu furnizorul.~~ ~~În aceste cazuri puteți activa setarea de identitate avansată *Stocarea mesajelor trimise* pentru a permite FairEmail să adauge mesajele trimise în folderul de mesaje trimise imediat după trimiterea unui mesaj.~~ ~~Rețineți că activarea acestei setări ar putea duce la duplicarea mesajelor dacă furnizorul dvs. adaugă și mesajele trimise în folderul de mesaje trimise.~~ ~~Atenție, de asemenea, că activarea acestei setări va duce la o utilizare suplimentară a datelor, în special atunci când trimiteți mesaje cu atașamente mari.~~
|
||
|
||
~~Dacă mesajele trimise din căsuța de ieșire nu sunt găsite în dosarul trimis la o sincronizare completă, acestea vor fi mutate și din căsuța de ieșire în dosarul trimis.~~ ~~O sincronizare completă are loc la reconectarea la server sau la sincronizarea periodică sau manuală.~~ ~~ Probabil că veți dori să activați în schimb setarea avansată *Stocare mesaje trimise* pentru a muta mai repede mesajele în dosarul trimis.~~

**(8) Pot folosi un cont Microsoft Exchange?**
|
||
|
||
Protocolul Microsoft Exchange Web Services [este în curs de eliminare progresivă](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Exchange-Team-Blog/Upcoming-changes-to-Exchange-Web-Services-EWS-API-for-Office-365/ba-p/608055). Prin urmare, nu prea mai are sens să se adauge acest protocol.
|
||
|
||
Puteți utiliza un cont Microsoft Exchange dacă acesta este accesibil prin IMAP, ceea ce este în general cazul. Consultați [aici](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/what-is-a-microsoft-exchange-account-47f000aa-c2bf-48ac-9bc2-83e5c6036793) pentru mai multe informații.
|
||
|
||
Rețineți că descrierea lui FairEmail începe cu observația că protocoalele non-standard, cum ar fi Microsoft Exchange Web Services și Microsoft ActiveSync, nu sunt acceptate.
|
||
|
||
Vă rugăm să consultați [aici](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/pop-imap-and-smtp-settings-for-outlook-com-d088b986-291d-42b8-9564-9c414e2aa040) pentru documentația Microsoft privind configurarea unui client de e-mail. Există, de asemenea, o secțiune despre erorile comune de conectare și soluții.
|
||
|
||
Unele versiuni mai vechi ale serverului Exchange au o eroare care provoacă mesaje goale și atașamente corupte. Vă rugăm să consultați [acest FAQ](#user-content-faq110) pentru o soluție de rezolvare.
|
||
|
||
Vă rugăm să consultați [acest FAQ](#user-content-faq133) despre suportul ActiveSync.

|
||
**(9) Ce sunt identitățile / cum pot adăuga un alias?**
|
||
|
||
Identitățile reprezintă adresele de e-mail pe care le trimiteți *de la* prin intermediul unui server de e-mail (SMTP).
|
||
|
||
Unii furnizori vă permit să aveți mai multe pseudonime. Le puteți configura prin setarea câmpului de adresă de e-mail al unei identități suplimentare la adresa alias-ului și setarea câmpului nume de utilizator la adresa dvs. de e-mail principală.
|
||
|
||
Rețineți că puteți copia o identitate prin apăsarea lungă a acesteia.
|
||
|
||
Alternativ, puteți activa *Permiterea editării adresei expeditorului* în setările avansate ale unei identități existente pentru a edita numele de utilizator atunci când compuneți un mesaj nou, dacă furnizorul dvs. permite acest lucru.
|
||
|
||
FairEmail va actualiza automat parolele identităților conexe atunci când actualizați parola contului asociat sau a unei identități conexe.
|
||
|
||
Consultați [acest FAQ](#user-content-faq33) privind editarea numelui de utilizator al adreselor de e-mail.

|
||
**~~(10) Ce înseamnă "UIDPLUS nu este suportat"?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~Mesajul de eroare *UIDPLUS nu este acceptat* înseamnă că furnizorul dvs. de e-mail nu oferă extensia IMAP [UIDPLUS](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4315). Această extensie IMAP este necesară pentru a implementa sincronizarea bidirecțională, care nu este o caracteristică opțională. Deci, cu excepția cazului în care furnizorul dvs. poate activa această extensie, nu puteți utiliza FairEmail pentru acest furnizor.~~

|
||
<a name="faq11"></a>
|
||
**~~~(11) De ce nu este acceptat POP?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~În afară de faptul că orice furnizor de e-mail decent suportă [IMAP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol) în aceste zile,~~ ~~ utilizarea [POP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Office_Protocol) va duce la o utilizare suplimentară inutilă a bateriei și la notificări întârziate ale mesajelor noi.~~ ~~În plus, POP este nepotrivit pentru sincronizarea bidirecțională și de cele mai multe ori oamenii citesc și scriu mesaje pe dispozitive diferite în zilele noastre.~~
|
||
|
||
~~În principiu, POP acceptă doar descărcarea și ștergerea mesajelor din căsuța de primire.~~ ~~Astfel, nu este posibilă efectuarea unor operații obișnuite, cum ar fi setarea atributelor mesajelor (citit, cu stele, răspuns, etc.), adăugarea (backup) și mutarea mesajelor.~~
|
||
|
||
~~Vezi și [ce scrie Google despre asta](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7104828).~~
|
||
|
||
~~De exemplu [Gmail poate importa mesaje](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/21289) dintr-un alt cont POP,~~ ~~care poate fi folosit ca o soluție de avarie atunci când furnizorul tău nu suportă IMAP.~~
|
||
|
||
~~tl;dr; ia în considerare pentru a trece la IMAP.~~

|
||
**(12) Cum funcționează criptarea/decriptarea?**
|
||
|
||
Comunicarea cu serverele de e-mail este întotdeauna criptată, cu excepția cazului în care ați dezactivat acest lucru în mod explicit. Această întrebare se referă la criptarea opțională end-to-end cu PGP sau S/MIME. Expeditorul și destinatarul trebuie mai întâi să cadă de acord asupra acestui lucru și să facă schimb de mesaje semnate pentru a-și transfera cheia publică pentru a putea trimite mesaje criptate.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
*Informații generale*
|
||
|
||
Vă rugăm să [vezi aici](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography) despre cum funcționează criptarea cu cheie publică/privată.
|
||
|
||
Criptarea pe scurt:
|
||
|
||
* **Mesajele de ieșire** sunt criptate cu **cheia publică** a destinatarului
|
||
* **Mesajele primite** sunt decriptate cu **cheia privată** a destinatarului
|
||
|
||
Semnarea pe scurt:
|
||
|
||
* **Mesajele de ieșire** sunt semnate cu **cheia privată** a expeditorului
|
||
* **Mesajele primite** sunt verificate cu **cheia publică** a expeditorului
|
||
|
||
Pentru a semna/cripta un mesaj, trebuie doar să selectați metoda corespunzătoare în fereastra de dialog de trimitere. Puteți oricând să deschideți dialogul de trimitere folosind meniul de suprapunere cu trei puncte, în cazul în care ați selectat *Don't show again* înainte.
|
||
|
||
Pentru a verifica o semnătură sau pentru a decripta un mesaj primit, deschideți mesajul și atingeți pictograma de gest sau de lacăt aflată chiar sub bara de acțiune a mesajului.
|
||
|
||
Prima dată când trimiteți un mesaj semnat/criptat este posibil să vi se ceară o cheie de semnare. FairEmail va stoca automat cheia de semnare selectată în identitatea utilizată pentru data viitoare. Dacă aveți nevoie să resetați cheia de semnătură, trebuie doar să salvați identitatea sau să apăsați lung pe identitatea din lista de identități și să selectați *Reset sign key*. Cheia de semnătură selectată este vizibilă în lista de identități. Dacă aveți nevoie să selectați o cheie de la caz la caz, puteți crea mai multe identități pentru același cont cu aceeași adresă de e-mail.
|
||
|
||
În setările de criptare puteți selecta metoda de criptare implicită (PGP sau S/MIME), activați *Semnare implicită*, *Criptare implicită* și *Decriptare automată a mesajelor*, dar rețineți că decriptarea automată nu este posibilă dacă este necesară interacțiunea utilizatorului, cum ar fi selectarea unei chei sau citirea unui token de securitate.
|
||
|
||
Textul/atașamentele mesajelor care urmează să fie criptate și textul/atașamentele mesajelor decriptate sunt stocate numai la nivel local și nu vor fi adăugate niciodată pe serverul de la distanță. Dacă doriți să anulați decriptarea, puteți utiliza elementul de meniu *resync* din meniul cu trei puncte din bara de acțiune a mesajului.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
*PGP*
|
||
|
||
Va trebui să instalați și să configurați mai întâi [OpenKeychain](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.sufficientlysecure.keychain/). FairEmail a fost testat cu OpenKeychain versiunea 5.4. Versiunile ulterioare vor fi cel mai probabil compatibile, dar este posibil ca versiunile anterioare să nu fie compatibile.
|
||
|
||
**Important**: se știe că aplicația OpenKeychain se blochează (în tăcere) atunci când aplicația apelantă (FairEmail) nu este încă autorizată și primește o cheie publică existentă. Puteți rezolva această problemă încercând să trimiteți un mesaj semnat/criptat către un expeditor cu o cheie publică necunoscută.
|
||
|
||
**Important**: dacă aplicația OpenKeychain nu (mai) poate găsi o cheie, este posibil să fie nevoie să resetați o cheie selectată anterior. Acest lucru se poate face prin apăsarea lungă a unei identități din lista de identități (Setări, atingeți Configurare manuală, atingeți Identități).
|
||
|
||
**Important**: pentru a permite aplicațiilor precum FairEmail să se conecteze în mod fiabil la serviciul OpenKeychain pentru a cripta/decripta mesajele, ar putea fi necesar să dezactivați optimizările de baterie pentru aplicația OpenKeychain.
|
||
|
||
**Important**: se pare că aplicația OpenKeychain are nevoie de permisiunea contactelor pentru a funcționa corect.
|
||
|
||
**Important**: pe unele versiuni / dispozitive Android este necesar să se activeze *Afișează ferestrele pop-up în timp ce rulează în fundal* în permisiunile suplimentare din setările aplicației Android ale aplicației OpenKeychain. Fără această permisiune, proiectul va fi salvat, dar este posibil să nu apară fereastra pop-up OpenKeychain pentru confirmare/selectare.
|
||
|
||
FairEmail va trimite antetul [Autocrypt](https://autocrypt.org/) pentru a fi folosit de alți clienți de e-mail, dar numai pentru mesajele semnate și criptate, deoarece prea multe servere de e-mail au probleme cu antetul Autocrypt, care este adesea lung. Rețineți că cel mai sigur mod de a începe un schimb de e-mailuri criptate este de a trimite mai întâi mesaje semnate. Antetele Autocrypt primite vor fi trimise către aplicația OpenKeychain pentru a fi stocate la verificarea unei semnături sau la decriptarea unui mesaj.
|
||
|
||
Deși acest lucru nu ar trebui să fie necesar pentru majoritatea clienților de e-mail, puteți atașa cheia dvs. publică la un mesaj și dacă folosiți *.key* ca extensie, tipul mime va fi corect *application/pgp-keys*.
|
||
|
||
Din motive de securitate, toată gestionarea cheilor este delegată aplicației OpenKey chain. Acest lucru înseamnă, de asemenea, că FairEmail nu stochează chei PGP.
|
||
|
||
Se acceptă PGP criptat în linie în mesajele primite, dar nu se acceptă semnăturile PGP în linie și PGP în linie în mesajele de ieșire, a se vedea [aici](https://josefsson.org/inline-openpgp-considered-harmful.html) despre motivul pentru care nu se acceptă.
|
||
|
||
Mesajele doar semnate sau doar criptate nu sunt o idee bună; vedeți aici de ce nu:
|
||
|
||
* [Considerații privind OpenPGP Partea I](https://k9mail.github.io/2016/11/24/OpenPGP-Considerations-Part-I.html)
|
||
* [Considerații privind OpenPGP Partea II](https://k9mail.github.io/2017/01/30/OpenPGP-Considerations-Part-II.html)
|
||
* [Considerații privind OpenPGP Partea a III-a Autocrypt](https://k9mail.github.io/2018/02/26/OpenPGP-Considerations-Part-III-Autocrypt.html)
|
||
|
||
Sunt acceptate doar mesajele semnate, iar mesajele criptate nu sunt acceptate.
|
||
|
||
Erori frecvente:
|
||
|
||
* *Nici o cheie*: nu există o cheie PGP disponibilă pentru una dintre adresele de e-mail listate
|
||
* *Ceava lipsă pentru criptare*: există probabil o cheie selectată în FairEmail care nu mai există în aplicația OpenKeychain. Resetarea cheii (a se vedea mai sus) va rezolva probabil această problemă.
|
||
* *Key for signature verification is missing*: cheia publică pentru expeditor nu este disponibilă în aplicația OpenKeychain. Acest lucru poate fi cauzat și de faptul că Autocrypt este dezactivat în setările de criptare sau că antetul Autocrypt nu este trimis.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
*S/MIME*
|
||
|
||
Criptarea unui mesaj necesită cheia (cheile) publică a destinatarului (destinatarilor). Semnarea unui mesaj necesită cheia dvs. privată.
|
||
|
||
Cheile private sunt stocate de Android și pot fi importate prin intermediul setărilor avansate de securitate Android. Există o comandă rapidă (buton) pentru aceasta în setările de criptare. Android vă va cere să setați un PIN, un model sau o parolă, dacă nu ați făcut-o până acum. Dacă aveți un dispozitiv Nokia cu Android 9, vă rugăm să [citiți mai întâi acest lucru](https://nokiamob.net/2019/08/10/a-bug-prevents-nokia-1-owners-from-unlocking-their-screen-even-with-right-pin-pattern/).
|
||
|
||
Rețineți că certificatele pot conține mai multe chei pentru mai multe scopuri, de exemplu pentru autentificare, criptare și semnare. Android importă doar prima cheie, astfel încât, pentru a importa toate cheile, certificatul trebuie mai întâi să fie divizat. Acest lucru nu este foarte banal și vă sfătuim să solicitați asistență din partea furnizorului de certificate.
|
||
|
||
Rețineți că este acceptată semnarea S/MIME cu alți algoritmi decât RSA, dar rețineți că este posibil ca alți clienți de e-mail să nu accepte acest lucru. Criptarea S/MIME este posibilă numai cu algoritmi simetrici, ceea ce înseamnă, în practică, utilizarea RSA.
|
||
|
||
Metoda de criptare implicită este PGP, dar ultima metodă de criptare utilizată va fi reținută pentru identitatea selectată pentru următoarea dată. Puteți apăsa lung pe butonul de trimitere pentru a schimba metoda de criptare pentru o identitate. Dacă utilizați atât criptarea PGP, cât și S/MIME pentru aceeași adresă de e-mail, ar putea fi util să copiați identitatea, astfel încât să puteți schimba metoda de criptare prin selectarea uneia dintre cele două identități. Puteți apăsa lung pe o identitate din lista de identități (prin configurare manuală în ecranul principal de configurare) pentru a copia o identitate.
|
||
|
||
Pentru a permite chei private diferite pentru aceeași adresă de e-mail, FairEmail vă va permite întotdeauna să selectați o cheie atunci când există mai multe identități cu aceeași adresă de e-mail pentru același cont.
|
||
|
||
Cheile publice sunt stocate de FairEmail și pot fi importate atunci când se verifică o semnătură pentru prima dată sau prin intermediul setărilor de criptare (format PEM sau DER).
|
||
|
||
FairEmail verifică atât semnătura, cât și întregul lanț de certificate.
|
||
|
||
Erori frecvente:
|
||
|
||
* *Niciun certificat găsit care să corespundă cu targetContraints*: acest lucru înseamnă probabil că folosiți o versiune veche a FairEmail
|
||
* *unable to find valid certification path to requested target*: în principiu asta înseamnă că unul sau mai multe certificate intermediare sau rădăcină nu au fost găsite
|
||
* *Cheia privată nu se potrivește cu nicio cheie de criptare*: cheia selectată nu poate fi utilizată pentru decriptarea mesajului, probabil pentru că este o cheie incorectă
|
||
* *Nici o cheie privată*: nu a fost selectat niciun certificat sau nu era disponibil niciun certificat în keystore-ul Android
|
||
|
||
În cazul în care lanțul de certificate este incorect, puteți apăsa pe butonul mic de informații pentru a afișa toate certificatele. După detaliile certificatului este afișat emitentul sau "selfSign". Un certificat este autofirmat atunci când subiectul și emitentul sunt identice. Certificatele de la o autoritate de certificare (CA) sunt marcate cu "[keyCertSign](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280#section-4.2.1.3)". Certificatele găsite în magazinul de chei Android sunt marcate cu "Android".
|
||
|
||
Un lanț valid arată în felul următor:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Certificatul dumneavoastră > zero sau mai multe certificate intermediare > certificatul CA (root) marcat cu "Android"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Rețineți că un lanț de certificate va fi întotdeauna invalid atunci când nu se găsește niciun certificat de ancorare în magazinul de chei Android, ceea ce este fundamental pentru validarea certificatelor S/MIME.
|
||
|
||
Vă rugăm să vedeți [aici](https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2844832?hl=en) cum puteți importa certificate în magazinul de chei Android.
|
||
|
||
Nu se acceptă utilizarea cheilor expirate, a mesajelor criptate/semnate în linie și a token-urilor de securitate hardware.
|
||
|
||
Dacă sunteți în căutarea unui certificat S/MIME gratuit (de test), consultați [ aici](http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_an_SMIME_certificate) pentru opțiuni. Vă rugăm să vă asigurați că [citiți acest lucru mai întâi](https://davidroessli.com/logs/2019/09/free-smime-certificates-in-2019/#update20191219) dacă doriți să solicitați un certificat S/MIME Actalis. Dacă sunteți în căutarea unui certificat S/MIME ieftin, am avut o experiență bună cu [Certum](https://www.certum.eu/en/smime-certificates/).
|
||
|
||
Cum se extrage o cheie publică dintr-un certificat S/MIME:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx/p12 -nokeys -nokeys -out cert.pem
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Puteți decoda semnăturile S/MIME, etc., [ aici](https://lapo.it/asn1js/).
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
*destul de intimitate Easy*
|
||
|
||
Încă nu există [nici un standard aprobat](https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-birk-pep-00.html) pentru confidențialitatea destul de ușoară (p≡p) și nu sunt mulți cei care îl folosesc.
|
||
|
||
Cu toate acestea, FairEmail poate trimite și primi mesaje criptate PGP, care sunt compatibile cu p≡p. De asemenea, FairEmail înțelege mesajele p≡p primite începând cu versiunea 1.1519, astfel încât subiectul criptat va fi afișat și textul mesajului încorporat va fi afișat mai frumos.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
Semnarea/cifrarea S/MIME este o caracteristică pro, dar toate celelalte operațiuni PGP și S/MIME sunt gratuite.

**(13) Cum funcționează căutarea pe dispozitiv/server?**
|
||
|
||
Puteți începe căutarea mesajelor în funcție de expeditor (de la), destinatar (la, cc, bcc), subiect, cuvinte cheie sau textul mesajului utilizând lupa din bara de acțiune a unui dosar. De asemenea, puteți efectua căutări din orice aplicație selectând *Cercetare e-mail* în meniul pop-up copy/paste.

Căutarea în căsuța de primire unificată va căuta în toate dosarele din toate conturile, căutarea în lista de dosare va căuta numai în contul asociat. iar căutarea într-un dosar va căuta numai în dosarul respectiv.
|
||
|
||
Mesajele vor fi căutate mai întâi pe dispozitiv. În partea de jos va exista un buton de acțiune cu o pictogramă de căutare din nou pentru a continua căutarea pe server. Puteți selecta în ce dosar să continuați căutarea.
|
||
|
||
Protocolul IMAP nu acceptă căutarea în mai mult de un dosar în același timp. Searching on the server is an expensive operation, therefore it is not possible to select multiple folders.
|
||
|
||
Searching local messages is case insensitive and on partial text. The message text of local messages will not be searched if the message text was not downloaded yet. Searching on the server might be case sensitive or case insensitive and might be on partial text or whole words, depending on the provider.
|
||
|
||
Some servers cannot handle searching in the message text when there are a large number of messages. For this case there is an option to disable searching in the message text.
|
||
|
||
It is possible to use Gmail search operators by prefixing a search command with *raw:*. If you configured just one Gmail account, you can start a raw search directly on the server by searching from the unified inbox. If you configured multiple Gmail accounts, you'll first need to navigate to the folder list or the archive (all messages) folder of the Gmail account you want to search in. Please [see here](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7190) for the possible search operators. For example:
|
||
|
||
`
|
||
raw:larger:10M`
|
||
|
||
Searching through a large number of messages on the device is not very fast because of two limitations:
|
||
|
||
* [sqlite](https://www.sqlite.org/), the database engine of Android has a record size limit, preventing message texts from being stored in the database
|
||
* Android apps get only limited memory to work with, even if the device has plenty memory available
|
||
|
||
This means that searching for a message text requires that files containing the message texts need to be opened one by one to check if the searched text is contained in the file, which is a relatively expensive process.
|
||
|
||
In the *miscellaneous settings* you can enable *Build search index* to significantly increase the speed of searching on the device, but be aware that this will increase battery and storage space usage. The search index is based on words, so searching for partial text is not possible. Searching using the search index is by default AND, so searching for *apple orange* will search for apple AND orange. Words separated by commas result in searching for OR, so for example *apple, orange* will search for apple OR orange. Both can be combined, so searching for *apple, orange banana* will search for apple OR (orange AND banana). Using the search index is a pro feature.
|
||
|
||
From version 1.1315 it is possible to use search expressions like this:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
apple +banana -cherry ?nuts
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This will result in searching like this:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
("apple" AND "banana" AND NOT "cherry") OR "nuts"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Search expressions can be used for searching on the device via the search index and for searching on the email server, but not for searching on the device without search index for performance reasons.
|
||
|
||
Searching on the device is a free feature, using the search index and searching on the server is a pro feature.

**(14) How can I set up an Outlook / Live / Hotmail account?**
|
||
|
||
An Outlook / Live / Hotmail account can be set up via the quick setup wizard and selecting *Outlook*.
|
||
|
||
To use an Outlook, Live or Hotmail account with two factor authentication enabled, you need to create an app password. See [here](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12409/microsoft-account-app-passwords-two-step-verification) for the details.
|
||
|
||
See [here](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/pop-imap-and-smtp-settings-for-outlook-com-d088b986-291d-42b8-9564-9c414e2aa040) for Microsoft's instructions.
|
||
|
||
For setting up an Office 365 account, please see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq156).
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq15"></a>
|
||
**(15) Why does the message text keep loading?**
|
||
|
||
The message header and message body are fetched separately from the server. The message text of larger messages is not being pre-fetched on metered connections and will be fetched on demand on expanding a message. The message text will keep loading if there is no connection to the account, see also the next question, or if there other operations, like synchronizing messages, are being executed.
|
||
|
||
You can check the account and folder list for the account and folder state (see the legend for the meaning of the icons) and the operation list accessible via the main navigation menu for pending operations (see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq3) for the meaning of the operations).
|
||
|
||
If FairEmail is holding off because of prior connectivity issues, please see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq123), you can force synchronization via the three dots menu.
|
||
|
||
In the receive settings you can set the maximum size for automatically downloading of messages on metered connections.
|
||
|
||
Mobile connections are almost always metered and some (paid) Wi-Fi hotspots are too.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq16"></a>
|
||
**(16) Why are messages not being synchronized?**
|
||
|
||
Possible causes of messages not being synchronized (sent or received) are:
|
||
|
||
* The account or folder(s) are not set to synchronize
|
||
* The number of days to synchronize message for is set too low
|
||
* There is no usable internet connection
|
||
* The email server is temporarily not available
|
||
* Android stopped the synchronization service
|
||
|
||
So, check your account and folder settings and check if the accounts/folders are connected (see the legend in the navigation menu for the meaning of the icons).
|
||
|
||
If there are any error messages, please see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq22).
|
||
|
||
On some devices, where there are lots of applications competing for memory, Android may stop the synchronization service as a last resort.
|
||
|
||
Some Android versions stop apps and services too aggressively. See [this dedicated website](https://dontkillmyapp.com/) and [this Android issue](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/122098785) for more information.
|
||
|
||
Disabling battery optimizations (setup step 3) reduces the chance Android will stop the synchronization service.
|
||
|
||
In case of successive connection errors, FairEmail will hold off increasingly longer to not drain the battery of your device. This is described in [this FAQ](#user-content-faq123).

**(18) Why is the message preview not always shown?**
|
||
|
||
The preview of the message text cannot be shown if the message body has not been downloaded yet. See also [this FAQ](#user-content-faq15).
|
||
|

<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq19"></a>
|
||
**(19) Why are the pro features so expensive?**
|
||
|
||
First of all, **FairEmail is basically free to use** and only some advanced features need to be purchased.
|
||
|
||
Zuerst, **FairEmail ist grundsätzlich kostenlos** und nur einige erweiterte Funktionen müssen gekauft werden.
|
||
|
||
Tout d'abord, **FairEmail est au fond gratuit** et seulement quelques fonctionnalités avancées doivent être achetés.
|
||
|
||
Please see the Play store description of the app or [see here](https://email.faircode.eu/#pro) for a complete list of pro features.
|
||
|
||
The right question is "*why are there so many taxes and fees?*":
|
||
|
||
* VAT: 25 % (depending on your country)
|
||
* Google fee: 30 %
|
||
* Income tax: 50 %
|
||
* <sub>Paypal fee: 5-10 % depending on the country/amount</sub>
|
||
|
||
So, what is left for the developer is just a fraction of what you pay.
|
||
|
||
Also note that most free apps will appear not to be sustainable in the end, whereas FairEmail is properly maintained and supported, and that free apps may have a catch, like sending privacy sensitive information to the internet. There are no privacy violating ads in the app either.
|
||
|
||
I have been working on FairEmail almost every day for more than two years, so I think the price is more than reasonable. For this reason there won't be discounts either.
|
||

<a name="faq20"></a>
|
||
**(20) Can I get a refund?**
|
||
|
||
If a purchased pro feature doesn't work as intended and this isn't caused by a problem in the free features and I cannot fix the problem in a timely manner, you can get a refund. In all other cases there is no refund possible. In no circumstances there is a refund possible for any problem related to the free features, since there wasn't paid anything for them and because they can be evaluated without any limitation. I take my responsibility as seller to deliver what has been promised and I expect that you take responsibility for informing yourself of what you are buying.

<a name="faq21"></a>
|
||
**(21) How do I enable the notification light?**
|
||
|
||
Before Android 8 Oreo: there is an advanced option in the notification settings of the app for this.
|
||
|
||
Android 8 Oreo and later: please see [here](https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/channels) about how to configure notification channels. You can use the button *Default channel* in the notification settings of the app to directly go to the right Android notification channel settings.
|
||
|
||
Note that apps cannot change notification settings, including the notification light setting, on Android 8 Oreo and later anymore.
|
||
|
||
Sometimes it is necessary to disable the setting *Show message preview in notifications* or to enable the settings *Show notifications with a preview text only* to workaround bugs in Android. This might apply to notification sounds and vibrations too.
|
||
|
||
Setting a light color before Android 8 is not supported and on Android 8 and later not possible.
|
||
|

<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq22"></a>
|
||
**(22) What does account/folder error ... mean?**
|
||
|
||
FairEmail does not hide errors like similar apps often do, so it is easier to diagnose problems.
|
||
|
||
FairEmail will automatically try to connect again after a delay. This delay will be doubled after each failed attempt to prevent draining the battery and to prevent from being locked out permanently. Please see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq123) for more information about this.
|
||
|
||
There are general errors and errors specific to Gmail accounts (see below).
|
||
|
||
**General errors**
|
||
|
||
<a name="authfailed"></a>
|
||
The error *... **Authentication failed** ...* or *... AUTHENTICATE failed ...* likely means that your username or password was incorrect. Some providers expect as username just *username* and others your full email address *username@example.com*. When copying/pasting to enter a username or password, invisible characters might be copied, which could cause this problem as well. Some password managers are known to do this incorrectly too. The username might be case sensitive, so try lowercase characters only. The password is almost always case sensitive. Some providers require using an app password instead of the account password, so please check the documentation of the provider. Sometimes it is necessary to enable external access (IMAP/SMTP) on the website of the provider first. Other possible causes are that the account is blocked or that logging in has been administratively restricted in some way, for example by allowing to login from certain networks / IP addresses only.
|
||
|
||
If needed, you can update a password in the account settings: navigation menu (left side menu), tap *Settings*, tap *Manual setup*, tap *Accounts* and tap on the account. Changing the account password will in most cases automatically change the password of related identities too. If the account was authorized with OAuth via the quick setup wizard instead of with a password, you can run the quick setup wizard again and tick *Authorize existing account again* to authenticate the account again. Note that this requires a recent version of the app.
|
||
|
||
The error *... Too many bad auth attempts ...* likely means that you are using a Yahoo account password instead of an app password. Please see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq88) about how to set up a Yahoo account.
|
||
|
||
The message *... +OK ...* likely means that a POP3 port (usually port number 995) is being used for an IMAP account (usually port number 993).
|
||
|
||
The errors *... invalid greeting ...*, *... requires valid address ...* and *... Parameter to HELO does not conform to RFC syntax ...* can likely be solved by changing the advanced identity setting *Use local IP address instead of host name*.
|
||
|
||
The error *... Couldn't connect to host ...* means that there was no response from the email server within a reasonable time (20 seconds by default). Mostly this indicates internet connectivity issues, possibly caused by a VPN or by a firewall app. You can try to increase the connection timeout in the connection settings of FairEmail, for when the email server is really slow.
|
||
|
||
The error *... Connection refused ...* means that the email server or something between the email server and the app, like a firewall, actively refused the connection.
|
||
|
||
The error *... Network unreachable ...* means that the email server was not reachable via the current internet connection, for example because internet traffic is restricted to local traffic only.
|
||
|
||
The error *... Host is unresolved ...*, *... Unable to resolve host ...* or *... No address associated with hostname ...* means that the address of the email server could not be resolved into an IP address. This might be caused by a VPN, ad blocking or an unreachable or not properly working (local) [DNS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System) server.
|
||
|
||
The error *... Software caused connection abort ...* means that the email server or something between FairEmail and the email server actively terminated an existing connection. This can for example happen when connectivity was abruptly lost. A typical example is turning on flight mode.
|
||
|
||
The errors *... BYE Logging out ...*, *... Connection reset ...* mean that the email server or something between the email server and the app, for example a router or a firewall (app), actively terminated an existing connection.
|
||
|
||
The error *... Connection closed by peer ...* might be caused by a not updated Exchange server, see [here](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/pki/2010/09/30/sha2-and-windows/) for more information.
|
||
|
||
The errors *... Read error ...*, *... Write error ...*, *... Read timed out ...*, *... Broken pipe ...* mean that the email server is not responding anymore or that the internet connection is bad.
|
||
|
||
<a name="connectiondropped"></a>
|
||
The error *... Connection dropped by server? ...* means that the email server unexpectedly terminated the connection. This sometimes happen when there were too many connections in a too short time or when a wrong password was used for too many times. In this case, please make sure your password is correct and disable receiving in the receive settings for about 30 minutes and try again. If needed, see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq23) about how you can reduce the number of connections.
|
||
|
||
The error *... Unexpected end of zlib input stream ...* means that not all data was received, possibly due to a bad or interrupted connection.
|
||
|
||
The error *... connection failure ...* could indicate [Too many simultaneous connections](#user-content-faq23).
|
||
|
||
The warning *... Unsupported encoding ...* means that the character set of the message is unknown or not supported. FairEmail will assume ISO-8859-1 (Latin1), which will in most cases result in showing the message correctly.
|
||
|
||
The error *... Login Rate Limit Hit ...* means that there were too many login attempts with an incorrect password. Please double check your password or authenticate the account again with the quick setup wizard (OAuth only).
|
||
|
||
Please [see here](#user-content-faq4) for the errors *... Untrusted ... not in certificate ...*, *... Invalid security certificate (Can't verify identity of server) ...* or *... Trust anchor for certification path not found ...*
|
||
|
||
Please [see here](#user-content-faq127) for the error *... Syntactically invalid HELO argument(s) ...*.
|
||
|
||
Please [see here](#user-content-faq41) for the error *... Handshake failed ...*.
|
||
|
||
See [here](https://linux.die.net/man/3/connect) for what error codes like EHOSTUNREACH and ETIMEDOUT mean.
|
||
|
||
Possible causes are:
|
||
|
||
* A firewall or router is blocking connections to the server
|
||
* The host name or port number is invalid
|
||
* There are problems with the internet connection
|
||
* There are problems with resolving domain names (Yandex: try to disable private DNS in the Android settings)
|
||
* The email server is refusing to accept (external) connections
|
||
* The email server is refusing to accept a message, for example because it is too large or contains unacceptable links
|
||
* There are too many connections to the server, see also the next question
|
||
|
||
Many public Wi-Fi networks block outgoing email to prevent spam. Sometimes you can workaround this by using another SMTP port. See the documentation of the provider for the usable port numbers.
|
||
|
||
If you are using a [VPN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network), the VPN provider might block the connection because it is too aggressively trying to prevent spam. Note that [Google Fi](https://fi.google.com/) is using a VPN too.
|
||
|
||
**Send errors**
|
||
|
||
SMTP servers can reject messages for [a variety of reasons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMTP_server_return_codes). Too large messages and triggering the spam filter of an email server are the most common reasons.
|
||
|
||
* The attachment size limit for Gmail [is 25 MB](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6584)
|
||
* The attachment size limit for Outlook and Office 365 [is 20 MB](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2813269/attachment-size-exceeds-the-allowable-limit-error-when-you-add-a-large)
|
||
* The attachment size limit for Yahoo [is 25 MB](https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN5673.html)
|
||
* *554 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx blocked*, please [see here](https://docs.gandi.net/en/gandimail/faq/error_types/554_5_7_1_service_unavailable.html)
|
||
* *501 Syntax error - line too long* is often caused by using a long Autocrypt header
|
||
* *503 5.5.0 Recipient already specified* mostly means that an address is being used both as TO and CC address
|
||
* *554 5.7.1 ... not permitted to relay* means that the email server does not recognize the username/email address. Please double check the host name and username/email address in the identity settings.
|
||
* *550 Spam message rejected because IP is listed by ...* means that the email server rejected to send a message from the current (public) network address because it was misused to send spam by (hopefully) somebody else before. Please try to enable flight mode for 10 minutes to acquire a new network address.
|
||
* *550 We're sorry, but we can't send your email. Either the subject matter, a link, or an attachment potentially contains spam, or phishing or malware.* means that the email provider considers an outgoing message as harmful.
|
||
* *571 5.7.1 Message contains spam or virus or sender is blocked ...* means that the email server considered an outgoing message as spam. This probably means that the spam filters of the email server are too strict. You'll need to contact the email provider for support on this.
|
||
* *451 4.7.0 Temporary server error. Please try again later. PRX4 ...*: please [see here](https://www.limilabs.com/blog/office365-temporary-server-error-please-try-again-later-prx4) or [see here](https://judeperera.wordpress.com/2019/10/11/fixing-451-4-7-0-temporary-server-error-please-try-again-later-prx4/).
|
||
* *571 5.7.1 Relay access denied*: please double check the username and email address in the advanced identity settings (via the manual setup).
|
||
|
||
If you want to use the Gmail SMTP server to workaround a too strict outgoing spam filter or to improve delivery of messages:
|
||
|
||
* Verify your email address [here](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/accounts) (you'll need to use a desktop browser for this)
|
||
* Change the identity settings like this (Settings, tap Manual setup, tap Identities, tap identity):
|
||
|
||
  Username: *your Gmail address*<br />   Password: *[an app password](#user-content-faq6)*<br />   Host: *smtp.gmail.com*<br />   Port: *465*<br />   Encryption: *SSL/TLS*<br />   Reply to address: *your email address* (advanced identity settings)<br />
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
**Gmail errors**
|
||
|
||
The authorization of Gmail accounts setup with the quick wizard needs to be periodically refreshed via the [Android account manager](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AccountManager). This requires contact/account permissions and internet connectivity.
|
||
|
||
In case of errors it is possible to authorize/restore a Gmail account again via the Gmail quick setup wizard.
|
||
|
||
The error *... Authentication failed ... Account not found ...* means that a previously authorized Gmail account was removed from the device.
|
||
|
||
The errors *... Authentication failed ... No token ...* means that the Android account manager failed to refresh the authorization of a Gmail account.
|
||
|
||
The error *... Authentication failed ... network error ...* means that the Android account manager was not able to refresh the authorization of a Gmail account due to problems with the internet connection
|
||
|
||
The error *... Authentication failed ... Invalid credentials ...* could be caused by changing the account password or by having revoked the required account/contacts permissions. In case the account password was changed, you'll need to authenticate the Google account in the Android account settings again. In case the permissions were revoked, you can start the Gmail quick setup wizard to grant the required permissions again (you don't need to setup the account again).
|
||
|
||
The eror *... ServiceDisabled ...* might be caused by enrolling in the [Advanced Protection Program](https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/): "*To read your email, you can (must) use Gmail - You won’t be able to use your Google Account with some (all) apps & services that require access to sensitive data like your emails*", see [here](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7519408?hl=en&ref_topic=9264881).

<a name="faq23"></a>
|
||
**(23) Why do I get alert ... ?**
|
||
|
||
*General*
|
||
|
||
Alerts are warning messages sent by email servers.
|
||
|
||
*Too many simultaneous connections* or *Maximum number of connections exceeded*
|
||
|
||
This alert will be sent when there are too many folder connections for the same email account at the same time.
|
||
|
||
Possible causes are:
|
||
|
||
* There are multiple email clients connected to the same account
|
||
* The same email client is connected multiple times to the same account
|
||
* Previous connections were terminated abruptly for example by abruptly losing internet connectivity
|
||
|
||
First try to wait some time to see if the problem resolves itself, else:
|
||
|
||
* either switch to periodically checking for messages in the receive settings, which will result in opening folders one at a time
|
||
* or set some folders to poll instead of synchronize (long press folder in the folder list, edit properties)
|
||
|
||
An easy way to configure periodically checking for messages for all folders except the inbox is to use *Apply to all ...* in the three-dots menu of the folder list and to tick the bottom two advanced checkboxes.
|
||
|
||
The maximum number of simultaneous folder connections for Gmail is 15, so you can synchronize at most 15 folders simultaneously on *all* your devices at the same time. For this reason Gmail *user* folders are set to poll by default instead of synchronize always. When needed or desired, you can change this by long pressing a folder in the folder list and selecting *Edit properties*. See [here](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229) for details.
|
||
|
||
When using a Dovecot server, you might want to change the setting [mail_max_userip_connections](https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/dovecot_core_settings/#mail-max-userip-connections).
|
||
|
||
Note that it will take the email server a while to discover broken connections, for example due to going out of range of a network, which means that effectively only half of the folder connections are available. For Gmail this would be just 7 connections.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq24"></a>
|
||
**(24) What is browse messages on the server?**
|
||
|
||
Browse messages on the server will fetch messages from the email server in real time when you reach the end of the list of synchronized messages, even when the folder is set to not synchronize. You can disable this feature in the advanced account settings.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq25"></a>
|
||
**(25) Why can't I select/open/save an image, attachment or a file?**
|
||
|
||
When a menu item to select/open/save a file is disabled (dimmed) or when you get the message *Storage access framework not available*, the [storage access framework](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider), a standard Android component, is probably not present. This might be because your custom ROM does not include it or because it was actively removed (debloated).
|
||
|
||
FairEmail does not request storage permissions, so this framework is required to select files and folders. No app, except maybe file managers, targeting Android 4.4 KitKat or later should ask for storage permissions because it would allow access to *all* files.
|
||
|
||
The storage access framework is provided by the package *com.android.documentsui*, which is visible as *Files* app on some Android versions (notable OxygenOS).
|
||
|
||
You can enable the storage access framework (again) with this adb command:
|
||
|
||
```

Embedded image:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Broken image:
|
||
|
||
|

**(28) How can I manage status bar notifications?**
|
||
|
||
In the notification settings you'll find a button *Manage notifications* to directly navigate to the Android notifications settings for FairEmail.
|
||
|
||
On Android 8.0 Oreo and later you can manage the properties of the individual notification channels, for example to set a specific notification sound or to show notifications on the lock screen.
|
||
|
||
FairEmail has the following notification channels:
|
||
|
||
* Service: used for the notification of the synchronize service, see also [this FAQ](#user-content-faq2)
|
||
* Send: used for the notification of the send service
|
||
* Notifications: used for new message notifications
|
||
* Warning: used for warning notifications
|
||
* Error: used for error notifications
|
||
|
||
See [here](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications#ManageChannels) for details on notification channels. In short: tap on the notification channel name to access the channel settings.
|
||
|
||
On Android before Android 8 Oreo you can set the notification sound in the settings.
|
||
|
||
See [this FAQ](#user-content-faq21) if your device has a notification light.

<a name="faq29"></a>
|
||
**(29) How can I get new message notifications for other folders?**
|
||
|
||
Just long press a folder, select *Edit properties*, and enable either *Show in unified inbox* or *Notify new messages* (available on Android 7 Nougat and later only) and tap *Save*.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|

<a name="faq30"></a>
|
||
**(30) How can I use the provided quick settings?**
|
||
|
||
There are quick settings (settings tiles) available to:
|
||
|
||
* globally enable/disable synchronization
|
||
* show the number of new messages and marking them as seen (not read)
|
||
|
||
Quick settings require Android 7.0 Nougat or later. The usage of settings tiles is explained [here](https://support.google.com/android/answer/9083864).

**(31) How can I use the provided shortcuts?**
|
||
|
||
There are shortcuts available to compose a new message to a favorite contact.
|
||
|
||
Shortcuts require Android 7.1 Nougat or later. The usage of shortcuts is explained [here](https://support.google.com/android/answer/2781850).
|
||
|
||
It is also possible to create shortcuts to folders by long pressing a folder in the folder list of an account and selecting *Add shortcut*.

**(32) How can I check if reading email is really safe?**
|
||
|
||
You can use the [Email Privacy Tester](https://www.emailprivacytester.com/) for this.
|

<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq33"></a>
|
||
**(33) Why are edited sender addresses not working?**
|
||
|
||
Most providers accept validated addresses only when sending messages to prevent spam.
|
||
|
||
For example Google modifies the message headers like this for *unverified* addresses:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
From: Somebody <somebody@example.org>
|
||
X-Google-Original-From: Somebody <somebody+extra@example.org>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This means that the edited sender address was automatically replaced by a verified address before sending the message.
|
||
|
||
Note that this is independent of receiving messages.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq34"></a>
|
||
**(34) How are identities matched?**
|
||
|
||
Identities are as expected matched by account. For incoming messages the *to*, *cc*, *bcc*, *from* and *(X-)delivered/envelope/original-to* addresses will be checked (in this order) and for outgoing messages (drafts, outbox and sent) only the *from* addresses will be checked. Equal addresses have precedence over partially matching addresses, except for *delivered-to* addresses.
|
||
|
||
The matched address will be shown as *via* in the addresses section of received messages (between the message header and message text).
|
||
|
||
Note that identities needs to be enabled to be able to be matched and that identities of other accounts will not be considered.
|
||
|
||
Matching will be done only once on receiving a message, so changing the configuration will not change existing messages. You could clear local messages by long pressing a folder in the folder list and synchronize the messages again though.
|
||
|
||
It is possible to configure a [regex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) in the identity settings to match **the username** of an email address (the part before the @ sign).
|
||
|
||
Note that the domain name (the parts after the @ sign) always needs to be equal to the domain name of the identity.
|
||
|
||
If you like to match a catch-all email address, this regex is mostly okay:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
.*
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you like to match the special purpose email addresses abc@example.com and xyx@example.com and like to have a fallback email address main@example.com as well, you could do something like this:
|
||
|
||
* Identity: abc@example.com; regex: **(?i)abc**
|
||
* Identity: xyz@example.com; regex: **(?i)xyz**
|
||
* Identity: main@example.com; regex: **^(?i)((?!abc|xyz).)\*$**
|
||
|
||
Matched identities can be used to color code messages. The identity color takes precedence over the folder and account color. Setting identity colors is a pro feature.

<a name="faq35"></a>
|
||
**(35) Why should I be careful with viewing images, attachments, the original message, and opening links?**
|
||
|
||
Viewing remotely stored images (see also [this FAQ](#user-content-faq27)) and opening links might not only tell the sender that you have seen the message, but will also leak your IP address. See also this question: [Why email's link is more dangerous than web search's link?](https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/241139/why-emails-link-is-more-dangerous-than-web-searchs-link).
|
||
|
||
Opening attachments or viewing an original message might load remote content and execute scripts, that might not only cause privacy sensitive information to leak, but can also be a security risk.
|
||
|
||
Note that your contacts could unknowingly send malicious messages if they got infected with malware.
|
||
|
||
FairEmail formats messages again causing messages to look different from the original, but also uncovering phishing links.
|
||
|
||
Note that reformatted messages are often better readable than original messages because the margins are removed, and font colors and sizes are standardized.
|
||
|
||
The Gmail app shows images by default by downloading the images through a Google proxy server. Since the images are downloaded from the source server [in real-time](https://blog.filippo.io/how-the-new-gmail-image-proxy-works-and-what-this-means-for-you/), this is even less secure because Google is involved too without providing much benefit.
|
||
|
||
You can show images and original messages by default for trusted senders on a case-by-case basis by checking *Do not ask this again for ...*.
|
||
|
||
If you want to reset the default *Open with* apps, please [see here](https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-set-default-apps-android-clear-621269/).

**(36) How are settings files encrypted?**
|
||
|
||
Short version: AES 256 bit
|
||
|
||
Long version:
|
||
|
||
* The 256 bit key is generated with *PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1* using a 128 bit secure random salt and 65536 iterations
|
||
* The cipher is *AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding*

<a name="faq37"></a>
|
||
**(37) How are passwords stored?**
|
||
|
||
All supported Android versions [encrypt all user data](https://source.android.com/security/encryption), so all data, including usernames, passwords, messages, etc, is stored encrypted.
|
||
|
||
If the device is secured with a PIN, pattern or password, you can make the account and identity passwords visible. If this is a problem because you are sharing the device with other people, consider to use [user profiles](https://www.howtogeek.com/333484/how-to-set-up-multiple-user-profiles-on-android/).

|
||
**(39) How can I reduce the battery usage of FairEmail?**
|
||
|
||
Recent Android versions by default report *app usage* as a percentage in the Android battery settings screen. **Confusingly, *app usage* is not the same as *battery usage* and is not even directly related to battery usage!** The app usage (while in use) will be very high because FairEmail is using a foreground service which is considered as constant app usage by Android. However, this doesn't mean that FairEmail is constantly using battery power. The real battery usage can be seen by navigating to this screen:
|
||
|
||
*Android settings*, *Battery*, three-dots menu *Battery usage*, three-dots menu *Show full device usage*
|
||
|
||
As a rule of thumb the battery usage should be below or in any case not be much higher than *Mobile network standby*. If this isn't the case, please turn on *Auto optimize* in the receive settings. If this doesn't help, please [ask for support](https://contact.faircode.eu/?product=fairemailsupport).
|
||
|
||
It is inevitable that synchronizing messages will use battery power because it requires network access and accessing the messages database.
|
||
|
||
If you are comparing the battery usage of FairEmail with another email client, please make sure the other email client is setup similarly. For example comparing always sync (push messages) and (infrequent) periodic checking for new messages is not a fair comparison.
|
||
|
||
Reconnecting to an email server will use extra battery power, so an unstable internet connection will result in extra battery usage. Also, some email servers prematurely terminate idle connections, while [the standard](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2177) says that an idle connection should be kept open for 29 minutes. In these cases you might want to synchronize periodically, for example each hour, instead of continuously. Note that polling frequently (more than every 30-60 minutes) will likely use more battery power than synchronizing always because connecting to the server and comparing the local and remote messages are expensive operations.
|
||
|
||
[On some devices](https://dontkillmyapp.com/) it is necessary to *disable* battery optimizations (setup step 3) to keep connections to email servers open. In fact, leaving battery optimizations enabled can result in extra battery usage for all devices, even though this sounds contradictory!
|
||
|
||
Most of the battery usage, not considering viewing messages, is due to synchronization (receiving and sending) of messages. So, to reduce the battery usage, set the number of days to synchronize message for to a lower value, especially if there are a lot of recent messages in a folder. Long press a folder name in the folders list and select *Edit properties* to access this setting.
|
||
|
||
If you have at least once a day internet connectivity, it is sufficient to synchronize messages just for one day.
|
||
|
||
Note that you can set the number of days to *keep* messages for to a higher number than to *synchronize* messages for. You could for example initially synchronize messages for a large number of days and after this has been completed reduce the number of days to synchronize messages, but leave the number of days to keep messages. After decreasing the number of days to keep messages, you might want to run the cleanup in the miscellaneous settings to remove old files.
|
||
|
||
In the receive settings you can enable to always synchronize starred messages, which will allow you to keep older messages around while synchronizing messages for a limited number of days.
|
||
|
||
Disabling the folder option *Automatically download message texts and attachments* will result in less network traffic and thus less battery usage. You could disable this option for example for the sent folder and the archive.
|
||
|
||
Synchronizing messages at night is mostly not useful, so you can save on battery usage by not synchronizing at night. In the settings you can select a schedule for message synchronization (this is a pro feature).
|
||
|
||
FairEmail will by default synchronize the folder list on each connection. Since folders are mostly not created, renamed and deleted very often, you can save some network and battery usage by disabling this in the receive settings.
|
||
|
||
FairEmail will by default check if old messages were deleted from the server on each connection. If you don't mind that old messages that were delete from the server are still visible in FairEmail, you can save some network and battery usage by disabling this in the receive settings.
|
||
|
||
Some providers don't follow the IMAP standard and don't keep connections open long enough, forcing FairEmail to reconnect often, causing extra battery usage. You can inspect the *Log* via the main navigation menu to check if there are frequent reconnects (connection closed/reset, read/write error/timeout, etc). You can workaround this by lowering the keep-alive interval in the advanced account settings to for example 9 or 15 minutes. Note that battery optimizations need to be disabled in setup step 3 to reliably keep connections alive.
|
||
|
||
Some providers send every two minutes something like '*Still here*' resulting in network traffic and your device to wake up and causing unnecessary extra battery usage. You can inspect the *Log* via the main navigation menu to check if your provider is doing this. If your provider is using [Dovecot](https://www.dovecot.org/) as IMAP server, you could ask your provider to change the [imap_idle_notify_interval](https://wiki.dovecot.org/Timeouts) setting to a higher value or better yet, to disable this. If your provider is not able or willing to change/disable this, you should consider to switch to periodically instead of continuous synchronization. You can change this in the receive settings.
|
||
|
||
If you got the message *This provider does not support push messages* while configuring an account, consider switching to a modern provider which supports push messages (IMAP IDLE) to reduce battery usage.
|
||
|
||
If your device has an [AMOLED](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMOLED) screen, you can save battery usage while viewing messages by switching to the black theme.
|
||
|
||
If auto optimize in the receive settings is enabled, an account will automatically be switched to periodically checking for new messages when the email server:
|
||
|
||
* Says '*Still here*' within 3 minutes
|
||
* The email server does not support push messages
|
||
* The keep-alive interval is lower than 12 minutes
|
||
|
||
In addition, the trash and spam folders will be automatically set to checking for new messages after three successive [too many simultaneous connections](#user-content-faq23) errors.

|
||
**(40) How can I reduce the data usage of FairEmail?**
|
||
|
||
You can reduce the data usage basically in the same way as reducing battery usage, see the previous question for suggestions.
|
||
|
||
It is inevitable that data will be used to synchronize messages.
|
||
|
||
If the connection to the email server is lost, FairEmail will always synchronize the messages again to make sure no messages were missed. If the connection is unstable, this can result in extra data usage. In this case, it is a good idea to decrease the number of days to synchronize messages to a minimum (see the previous question) or to switch to periodically synchronizing of messages (receive settings).
|
||
|
||
To reduce data usage, you could change these advanced receive settings:
|
||
|
||
* Check if old messages were removed from the server: disable
|
||
* Synchronize (shared) folder list: disable
|
||
|
||
By default FairEmail does not download message texts and attachments larger than 256 KiB when there is a metered (mobile or paid Wi-Fi) internet connection. You can change this in the connection settings.

|
||
**(41) How can I fix the error 'Handshake failed' ?**
|
||
|
||
There are several possible causes, so please read to the end of this answer.
|
||
|
||
The error '*Handshake failed ... WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER ...*' might mean that you are trying to connect to an IMAP or SMTP server without an encrypted connection, typically using port 143 (IMAP) and port 25 (SMTP), or that a wrong protocol (SSL/TLS or STARTTLS) is being used.
|
||
|
||
Most providers provide encrypted connections using different ports, typically port 993 (IMAP) and port 465/587 (SMTP).
|
||
|
||
If your provider doesn't support encrypted connections, you should ask to make this possible. If this isn't an option, you could enable *Allow insecure connections* both in the advanced settings AND the account/identity settings.
|
||
|
||
See also [this FAQ](#user-content-faq4).
|
||
|
||
The error '*Handshake failed ... SSLV3_ALERT_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER ...*' is either caused by a bug in the SSL protocol implementation or by a too short DH key on the email server and can unfortunately not be fixed by FairEmail.
|
||
|
||
The error '*Handshake failed ... HANDSHAKE_FAILURE_ON_CLIENT_HELLO ...*' might be caused by the provider still using RC4, which isn't supported since [Android 7](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/nougat/android-7.0-changes.html#tls-ssl) anymore.
|
||
|
||
The error '*Handshake failed ... UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL or TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION ...*' might be caused by enabling hardening connections in the connection settings or by Android not supporting older protocols anymore, like SSLv3.
|
||
|
||
Android 8 Oreo and later [do not support](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/android-8.0-changes#security-all) SSLv3 anymore. There is no way to workaround lacking RC4 and SSLv3 support because it has completely been removed from Android (which should say something).
|
||
|
||
You can use [this website](https://ssl-tools.net/mailservers) or [this website](https://www.immuniweb.com/ssl/) to check for SSL/TLS problems of email servers.

|
||
**(42) Can you add a new provider to the list of providers?**
|
||
|
||
If the provider is used by more than a few people, yes, with pleasure.
|
||
|
||
The following information is needed:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
<provider
|
||
name="Gmail"
|
||
link="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229" // link to the instructions of the provider
|
||
type="com.google"> // this is not needed
|
||
<imap
|
||
host="imap.gmail.com"
|
||
port="993"
|
||
starttls="false" />
|
||
<smtp
|
||
host="smtp.gmail.com"
|
||
port="465"
|
||
starttls="false" />
|
||
</provider>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The EFF [writes](https://www.eff.org/nl/deeplinks/2018/06/announcing-starttls-everywhere-securing-hop-hop-email-delivery): "*Additionally, even if you configure STARTTLS perfectly and use a valid certificate, there’s still no guarantee your communication will be encrypted.*"
|
||
|
||
So, pure SSL connections are safer than using [STARTTLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunistic_TLS) and therefore preferred.
|
||
|
||
Please make sure receiving and sending messages works properly before contacting me to add a provider.

|
||
**(43) Can you show the original ... ?**
|
||
|
||
Show original, shows the original message as the sender has sent it, including original fonts, colors, margins, etc. FairEmail does and will not alter this in any way, except for requesting [TEXT_AUTOSIZING](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.LayoutAlgorithm), which will *attempt* to make small text more readable.

**~~(44) Can you show contact photos / identicons in the sent folder?~~**
|

|
||
**(45) How can I fix 'This key is not available. To use it, you must import it as one of your own!' ?**
|
||
|
||
You'll get the message *This key is not available. To use it, you must import it as one of your own!* when trying to decrypt a message with a public key. To fix this you'll need to import the private key.
|
||

||
|
||
<a name="faq46"></a>
|
||
**(46) Why does the message list keep refreshing?**
|
||
|
||
If you see a 'spinner' at the top of the message list, the folder is still being synchronized with the remote server. You can see the progress of the synchronization in the folder list. See the legend about what the icons and numbers mean.
|
||
|
||
The speed of your device and internet connection and the number of days to synchronize messages determine how long synchronization will take. Note that you shouldn't set the number of days to synchronize messages to more than one day in most cases, see also [this FAQ](#user-content-faq39).

|
||
**(47) How do I solve the error 'No primary account or no drafts folder' ?**
|
||
|
||
You'll get the error message *No primary account or no drafts folder* when trying to compose a message while there is no account set to be the primary account or when there is no drafts folder selected for the primary account. This can happen for example when you start FairEmail to compose a message from another app. FairEmail needs to know where to store the draft, so you'll need to select one account to be the primary account and/or you'll need to select a drafts folder for the primary account.
|
||
|
||
This can also happen when you try to reply to a message or to forward a message from an account with no drafts folder while there is no primary account or when the primary account does not have a drafts folder.
|
||
|
||

|
||
**(49) How do I fix 'An outdated app sent a file path instead of a file stream' ?**
|
||
|
||
You likely selected or sent an attachment or image with an outdated file manager or an outdated app which assumes all apps still have storage permissions. For security and privacy reasons modern apps like FairEmail have no full access to all files anymore. This can result into the error message *An outdated app sent a file path instead of a file stream* if a file name instead of a file stream is being shared with FairEmail because FairEmail cannot randomly open files.
|
||
|
||
You can fix this by switching to an up-to-date file manager or an app designed for recent Android versions. Alternatively, you can grant FairEmail read access to the storage space on your device in the Android app settings. Note that this workaround [won't work on Android Q](https://developer.android.com/preview/privacy/scoped-storage) anymore.

Folders are first sorted on account order (by default on account name) and within an account with special, system folders on top, followed by folders set to synchronize. Within each category the folders are sorted on (display) name. You can set the display name by long pressing a folder in the folder list and selecting *Edit properties*.
|
||
|
||
The navigation (hamburger) menu item *Order folders* in the settings can be used to manually order the folders.

||
**(52) Why does it take some time to reconnect to an account?**
|
||
|
||
There is no reliable way to know if an account connection was terminated gracefully or forcefully. Trying to reconnect to an account while the account connection was terminated forcefully too often can result in problems like [too many simultaneous connections](#user-content-faq23) or even the account being blocked. To prevent such problems, FairEmail waits 90 seconds until trying to reconnect again.
|
||
|
||
You can long press *Settings* in the navigation menu to reconnect immediately.

<a name="faq53"></a>
|
||
**(53) Can you stick the message action bar to the top/bottom?**
|
||
|
||
The message action bar works on a single message and the bottom action bar works on all the messages in the conversation. Since there is often more than one message in a conversation, this is not possible. Moreover, there are quite some message specific actions, like forwarding.
|
||
|
||
Moving the message action bar to the bottom of the message is visually not appealing because there is already a conversation action bar at the bottom of the screen.
|
||
|
||
Note that there are not many, if any, email apps that display a conversation as a list of expandable messages. This has a lot of advantages, but the also causes the need for message specific actions.

|
||
**~~(54) How do I use a namespace prefix?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~A namespace prefix is used to automatically remove the prefix providers sometimes add to folder names.~~
|
||
|
||
~~For example the Gmail spam folder is called:~~
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
[Gmail]/Spam
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
~~By setting the namespace prefix to *[Gmail]* FairEmail will automatically remove *[Gmail]/* from all folder names.~~

|
||
|
||
<a name="faq55"></a>
|
||
**(55) How can I mark all messages as read / move or delete all messages?**
|
||
|
||
You can use multiple select for this. Long press the first message, don't lift your finger and slide down to the last message. Then use the three dot action button to execute the desired action.

|
||
**(56) Can you add support for JMAP?**
|
||
|
||
There are almost no providers offering the [JMAP](https://jmap.io/) protocol, so it is not worth a lot of effort to add support for this to FairEmail.
|
||

|
||
|

<a name="faq57"></a>
|
||
**(57) Can I use HTML in signatures?**
|
||
|
||
Yes, you can use [HTML](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML). In the signature editor you can switch to HTML mode via the three-dots menu.
|
||
|
||
Note that if you switch back to the text editor that not all HTML might be rendered as-is because the Android text editor is not able to render all HTML. Similarly, if you use the text editor, the HTML might be altered in unexpected ways.
|
||
|
||
If you want to use preformatted text, like [ASCII art](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art), you should wrap the text in a *pre* element, like this:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
<pre>
|
||
|\_/|
|
||
/ @ @ \
|
||
( > º < )
|
||
`>>x<<´
|
||
/ O \

**(58) What does an open/closed email icon mean?**
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
|

<a name="faq59"></a>
|
||
**(59) Can original messages be opened in the browser?**
|
||
|
||
For security reasons the files with the original message texts are not accessible to other apps, so this is not possible. In theory the [Storage Access Framework](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider) could be used to share these files, but even Google's Chrome cannot handle this.

|
||
**(61) Why are some messages shown dimmed?**
|
||
|
||
Messages shown dimmed (grayed) are locally moved messages for which the move is not confirmed by the server yet. This can happen when there is no connection to the server or the account (yet). These messages will be synchronized after a connection to the server and the account has been made or, if this never happens, will be deleted if they are too old to be synchronized.
|
||
|
||
You might need to manually synchronize the folder, for example by pulling down.
|
||
|
||
You can view these messages, but you cannot move these messages again until the previous move has been confirmed.
|
||
|
||
Pending [operations](#user-content-faq3) are shown in the operations view accessible from the main navigation menu.

|
||
**(62) Which authentication methods are supported?**
|
||
|
||
The following authentication methods are supported and used in this order:
|
||
|
||
* CRAM-MD5
|
||
* LOGIN
|
||
* PLAIN
|
||
* NTLM (untested)
|
||
* XOAUTH2 ([Gmail](https://developers.google.com/gmail/imap/xoauth2-protocol), [Yandex](https://tech.yandex.com/oauth/))
|
||
|
||
SASL authentication methods, besides CRAM-MD5, are not supported because [JavaMail for Android](https://javaee.github.io/javamail/Android) does not support SASL authentication.
|
||
|
||
If your provider requires an unsupported authentication method, you'll likely get the error message *authentication failed*.
|
||
|
||
[Client certificates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client_certificate) can be selected in the account and identity settings.
|
||
|
||
[Server Name Indication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication) is supported by [all supported Android versions](https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-ssl).

**(63) How are images resized for displaying on screens?**
|
||
|
||
Large inline or attached [PNG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics) and [JPEG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG) images will automatically be resized for displaying on screens. This is because email messages are limited in size, depending on the provider mostly between 10 and 50 MB. Images will by default be resized to a maximum width and height of about 1440 pixels and saved with a compression ratio of 90 %. Images are scaled down using whole number factors to reduce memory usage and to retain image quality. Automatically resizing of inline and/or attached images and the maximum target image size can be configured in the send settings.
|
||
|
||
If you want to resize images on a case-by-case basis, you can use [Send Reduced](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/mobi.omegacentauri.SendReduced/) or a similar app.

|
||
**~~(64) Can you add custom actions for swipe left/right?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~The most natural thing to do when swiping a list entry left or right is to remove the entry from the list.~~ ~~The most natural action in the context of an email app is moving the message out of the folder to another folder.~~ ~~You can select the folder to move to in the account settings.~~
|
||
|
||
~~Other actions, like marking messages read and snoozing messages are available via multiple selection.~~ ~~You can long press a message to start multiple selection. See also [this question](#user-content-faq55).~~
|
||
|
||
~~Swiping left or right to mark a message read or unread is unnatural because the message first goes away and later comes back in a different shape.~~ ~~Note that there is an advanced option to mark messages automatically read on moving,~~ ~~which is in most cases a perfect replacement for the sequence mark read and move to some folder.~~ ~~You can also mark messages read from new message notifications.~~
|
||
|
||
~~If you want to read a message later, you can hide it until a specific time by using the *snooze* menu.~~

|
||
<a name="faq65"></a>
|
||
**(65) Why are some attachments shown dimmed?**
|
||
|
||
Inline (image) attachments are shown dimmed. [Inline attachments](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2183) are supposed to be downloaded and shown automatically, but since FairEmail doesn't always download attachments automatically, see also [this FAQ](#user-content-faq40), FairEmail shows all attachment types. To distinguish inline and regular attachments, inline attachments are shown dimmed.

**(66) Is FairEmail available in the Google Play Family Library?**
|

|
||
**(67) How can I snooze conversations?**
|
||
|
||
Multiple select one of more conversations (long press to start multiple selecting), tap the three dot button and select *Snooze ...*. Alternatively, in the expanded message view use *Snooze ...* in the message three-dots 'more' menu or the time-lapse action in the bottom action bar. Select the time the conversation(s) should snooze and confirm by tapping OK. The conversations will be hidden for the selected time and shown again afterwards. You will receive a new message notification as reminder.
|
||
|
||
It is also possible to snooze messages with [a rule](#user-content-faq71), which will also allow you to move messages to a folder to let them be auto snoozed.
|
||
|
||
You can show snoozed messages by unchecking *Filter out* > *Hidden* in the three dot overflow menu.
|
||
|
||
You can tap on the small snooze icon to see until when a conversation is snoozed.
|
||
|
||
By selecting a zero snooze duration you can cancel snoozing.
|
||
|
||
Third party apps do not have access to the Gmail snoozed messages folder.

**~~(68) Why can Adobe Acrobat reader not open PDF attachments / Microsoft apps not open attached documents?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~Adobe Acrobat reader and Microsoft apps still expects full access to all stored files,~~ ~~while apps should use the [Storage Access Framework](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider) since Android KitKat (2013)~~ ~~to have access to actively shared files only. This is for privacy and security reasons.~~
|
||
|
||
~~You can workaround this by saving the attachment and opening it from the Adobe Acrobat reader / Microsoft app,~~ ~~but you are advised to install an up-to-date and preferably open source PDF reader / document viewer,~~ ~~for example one listed [here](https://github.com/offa/android-foss#-document--pdf-viewer).~~

|
||
**(69) Can you add auto scroll up on new message?**
|
||
|
||
The message list is automatically scrolled up when navigating from a new message notification or after a manual refresh. Always automatically scrolling up on arrival of new messages would interfere with your own scrolling, but if you like you can enable this in the settings.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq70"></a>
|
||
**(70) When will messages be auto expanded?**
|
||
|
||
When navigation to a conversation one message will be expanded if:
|
||
|
||
* There is just one message in the conversation
|
||
* There is exactly one unread message in the conversation
|
||
* There is exactly one starred (favorite) message in the conversation (from version 1.1508)
|
||
|
||
There is one exception: the message was not downloaded yet and the message is too large to download automatically on a metered (mobile) connection. You can set or disable the maximum message size on the 'connection' settings tab.
|
||
|
||
Duplicate (archived) messages, trashed messages and draft messages are not counted.
|
||
|
||
Messages will automatically be marked read on expanding, unless this was disabled in the individual account settings.

<a name="faq71"></a>
|
||
**(71) How do I use filter rules?**
|
||
|
||
You can edit filter rules by long pressing a folder in the folder list of an account (tap the account name in the navigation/side menu).
|
||
|
||
New rules will be applied to new messages received in the folder, not to existing messages. You can check the rule and apply the rule to existing messages or, alternatively, long press the rule in the rule list and select *Execute now*.
|
||
|
||
You'll need to give a rule a name and you'll need to define the order in which a rule should be executed relative to other rules.
|
||
|
||
You can disable a rule and you can stop processing other rules after a rule has been executed.
|
||
|
||
The following rule conditions are available:
|
||
|
||
* Sender contains or sender is contact
|
||
* Recipient contains
|
||
* Subject contains
|
||
* Has attachments (optional of specific type)
|
||
* Header contains
|
||
* Absolute time (received) between (since version 1.1540)
|
||
* Relative time (received) between
|
||
|
||
All the conditions of a rule need to be true for the rule action to be executed. All conditions are optional, but there needs to be at least one condition, to prevent matching all messages. If you want to match all senders or all recipients, you can just use the @ character as condition because all email addresses will contain this character.
|
||
|
||
Note that email addresses are formatted like this:
|
||
|
||
`
|
||
"Somebody" <somebody@example.org>`
|
||
|
||
You can use multiple rules, possibly with a *stop processing*, for an *or* or a *not* condition.
|
||
|
||
Matching is not case sensitive, unless you use [regular expressions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression). Please see [here](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/regex/Pattern) for the documentation of Java regular expressions. You can test a regex [here](https://regexr.com/).
|
||
|
||
Note that a regular expression supports an *or* operator, so if you want to match multiple senders, you can do this:
|
||
|
||
`
|
||
.*alice@example\.org.*|.*bob@example\.org.*|.*carol@example\.org.*`
|
||
|
||
Note that [dot all mode](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/regex/Pattern#DOTALL) is enabled to be able to match [unfolded headers](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#section-3.2.3).
|
||
|
||
You can select one of these actions to apply to matching messages:
|
||
|
||
* No action (useful for *not*)
|
||
* Mark as read
|
||
* Mark as unread
|
||
* Hide
|
||
* Suppress notification
|
||
* Snooze
|
||
* Add star
|
||
* Set importance (local priority)
|
||
* Add keyword
|
||
* Move
|
||
* Copy (Gmail: label)
|
||
* Answer/forward (with template)
|
||
* Text-to-speech (sender and subject)
|
||
* Automation (Tasker, etc)
|
||
|
||
Rules are applied directly after the message header has been fetched, but before the message text has been downloaded, so it is not possible to apply conditions to the message text. Note that large message texts are downloaded on demand on a metered connection to save on data usage.
|
||
|
||
If you want to forward a message, consider to use the move action instead. This will be more reliable than forwarding as well because forwarded messages might be considered as spam.
|
||
|
||
Since message headers are not downloaded and stored by default to save on battery and data usage and to save storage space it is not possible to preview which messages would match a header rule condition.
|
||
|
||
Some common header conditions (regex):
|
||
|
||
* *.*Auto-Submitted:.** [RFC3834](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3834)
|
||
* *.*Content-Type: multipart/report.** [RFC3462](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3462)
|
||
|
||
In the three-dots *more* message menu there is an item to create a rule for a received message with the most common conditions filled in.
|
||
|
||
The POP3 protocol does not support setting keywords and moving or copying messages.
|
||
|
||
Using rules is a pro feature.

|
||
**(72) What are primary accounts/identities?**
|
||
|
||
The primary account is used when the account is ambiguous, for example when starting a new draft from the unified inbox.
|
||
|
||
Similarly, the primary identity of an account is used when the identity is ambiguous.
|
||
|
||
There can be just one primary account and there can be just one primary identity per account.

<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq73"></a>
|
||
**(73) Is moving messages across accounts safe/efficient?**
|
||
|
||
Moving messages across accounts is safe because the raw, original messages will be downloaded and moved and because the source messages will be deleted only after the target messages have been added
|
||
|
||
Batch moving messages across accounts is efficient if both the source folder and target folder are set to synchronize, else FairEmail needs to connect to the folder(s) for each message.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq74"></a>
|
||
**(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 in a non obtrusive way 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.

**(75) Can you make an iOS, Windows, Linux, etc version?**
|
||

|
||
<a name="faq76"></a>
|
||
**(76) What does 'Clear local messages' do?**
|
||
|
||
The folder menu *Clear local messages* removes messages from the device which are present on the server too. It does not delete messages from the server. This can be useful after changing the folder settings to not download the message content (text and attachments), for example to save space.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq77"></a>
|
||
**(77) Why are messages sometimes shown with a small delay?**
|
||
|
||
Depending on the speed of your device (processor speed and maybe even more memory speed) messages might be displayed with a small delay. FairEmail is designed to dynamically handle a large number of messages without running out of memory. This means that messages needs to be read from a database and that this database needs to be watched for changes, both of which might cause small delays.
|
||
|
||
Some convenience features, like grouping messages to display conversation threads and determining the previous/next message, take a little extra time. Note that there is no *the* next message because in the meantime a new message might have been arrived.
|
||
|
||
When comparing the speed of FairEmail with similar apps this should be part of the comparison. It is easy to write a similar, faster app which just displays a lineair list of messages while possible using too much memory, but it is not so easy to properly manage resource usage and to offer more advanced features like conversation threading.
|
||
|
||
FairEmail is based on the state-of-the-art [Android architecture components](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/), so there is little room for performance improvements.

|
||
**(78) How do I use schedules?**
|
||
|
||
In the receive settings you can enable scheduling and set a time period and the days of the week *when* messages should be *received*. Note that an end time equal to or earlier than the start time is considered to be 24 hours later.
|
||
|
||
Automation, see below, can be used for more advanced schedules, like for example multiple synchronization periods per day or different synchronization periods for different days.
|
||
|
||
It is possible to install FairEmail in multiple user profiles, for example a personal and a work profile, and to configure FairEmail differently in each profile, which is another possibility to have different synchronization schedules and to synchronize a different set of accounts.
|
||
|
||
It is also possible to create [filter rules](#user-content-faq71) with a time condition and to snooze messages until the end time of the time condition. This way it is possible to *snooze* business related messages until the start of the business hours. This also means that the messages will be on your device for when there is (temporarily) no internet connection.
|
||
|
||
Note that recent Android versions allow overriding DND (Do Not Disturb) per notification channel and per app, which could be used to (not) silence specific (business) notifications. Please [see here](https://support.google.com/android/answer/9069335) for more information.
|
||
|
||
For more complex schemes you could set one or more accounts to manual synchronization and send this command to FairEmail to check for new messages:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
(adb shell) am start-foreground-service -a eu.faircode.email.POLL
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For a specific account:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
(adb shell) am start-foreground-service -a eu.faircode.email.POLL --es account Gmail
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also automate turning receiving messages on and off by sending these commands to FairEmail:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
(adb shell) am start-foreground-service -a eu.faircode.email.ENABLE
|
||
(adb shell) am start-foreground-service -a eu.faircode.email.DISABLE
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To enable/disable a specific account:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
(adb shell) am start-foreground-service -a eu.faircode.email.ENABLE --es account Gmail
|
||
(adb shell) am start-foreground-service -a eu.faircode.email.DISABLE --es account Gmail
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note that disabling an account will hide the account and all associated folders and messages.
|
||
|
||
To set the poll interval:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
(adb shell) adb shell am start-foreground-service -a eu.faircode.email.INTERVAL --ei minutes nnn
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Where *nnn* is one of 0, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 480, 1440. A value of 0 means push messages.
|
||
|
||
You can automatically send commands with for example [Tasker](https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/intents.html):
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
New task: Something recognizable
|
||
Action Category: Misc/Send Intent
|
||
Action: eu.faircode.email.ENABLE
|
||
Target: Service
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To enable/disable an account with the name *Gmail*:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Extras: account:Gmail
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Account names are case sensitive.
|
||
|
||
Scheduling is a pro feature.

||
**(79) How do I use synchronize on demand (manual)?**
|
||
|
||
Normally, FairEmail maintains a connection to the configured email servers whenever possible to receive messages in real-time. If you don't want this, for example to be not disturbed or to save on battery usage, just disable receiving in the receive settings. This will stop the background service which takes care of automatic synchronization and will remove the associated status bar notification.
|
||
|
||
You can also enable *Synchronize manually* in the advanced account settings if you want to manually synchronize specific accounts only.
|
||
|
||
You can use pull-down-to-refresh in a message list or use the folder menu *Synchronize now* to manually synchronize messages.
|
||
|
||
If you want to synchronize some or all folders of an account manually, just disable synchronization for the folders (but not of the account).
|
||
|
||
You'll likely want to disabled [browse on server](#user-content-faq24) too.

**~~(80) How do I fix the error 'Unable to load BODYSTRUCTURE' ?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~The error message *Unable to load BODYSTRUCTURE* is caused by bugs in the email server,~~ ~~see [here](https://javaee.github.io/javamail/FAQ#imapserverbug) for more details.~~
|
||
|
||
~~FairEmail already tries to workaround these bugs, but if this fail you'll need to ask for support from your provider.~~

<a name="faq81"></a>
|
||
**~~(81) Can you make the background of the original message dark in the dark theme?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~The original message is shown as the sender has sent it, including all colors.~~ ~~Changing the background color would not only make the original view not original anymore, it can also result in unreadable messages.~~

|
||
**(82) What is a tracking image?**
|
||
|
||
Please see [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_beacon) about what a tracking image exactly is. In short tracking images keep track if you opened a message.
|
||
|
||
FairEmail will in most cases automatically recognize tracking images and replace them by this icon:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Automatic recognition of tracking images can be disabled in the privacy settings.
|
||

|
||
|
||
<a name="faq84"></a>
|
||
**(84) What are local contacts for?**
|
||
|
||
Local contact information is based on names and addresses found in incoming and outgoing messages.
|
||
|
||
The main use of the local contacts storage is to offer auto completion when no contacts permission has been granted to FairEmail.
|
||
|
||
Another use is to generate [shortcuts](#user-content-faq31) on recent Android versions to quickly send a message to frequently contacted people. This is also why the number of times contacted and the last time contacted is being recorded and why you can make a contact a favorite or exclude it from favorites by long pressing it.
|
||
|
||
The list of contacts is sorted on number of times contacted and the last time contacted.
|
||
|
||
By default only names and addresses to whom you send messages to will be recorded. You can change this in the send settings.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq85"></a>
|
||
**(85) Why is an identity not available?**
|
||
|
||
An identity is available for sending a new message or replying or forwarding an existing message only if:
|
||
|
||
* the identity is set to synchronize (send messages)
|
||
* the associated account is set to synchronize (receive messages)
|
||
* the associated account has a drafts folder
|
||
|
||
FairEmail will try to select the best identity based on the *to* address of the message replied to / being forwarded.

<a name="faq86"></a>
|

**~~(86) What are 'extra privacy features'?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~The advanced option *extra privacy features* enables:~~
|
||
|
||
* ~~Looking up the owner of the IP address of a link~~
|
||
* ~~Detection and removal of [tracking images](#user-content-faq82)~~

<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq87"></a>
|
||
**(87) What does 'invalid credentials' mean?**
|
||
|
||
The error message *invalid credentials* means either that the user name and/or password is incorrect, for example because the password was changed or expired, or that the account authorization has expired.
|
||
|
||
If the password is incorrect/expired, you will have to update the password in the account and/or identity settings.
|
||
|
||
If the account authorization has expired, you will have to select the account again. You will likely need to save the associated identity again as well.

|
||
**(88) How can I use a Yahoo, AOL or Sky account?**
|
||
|
||
The preferred way to set up a Yahoo account is by using the quick setup wizard, which will use OAuth instead of a password and is therefore safer (and easier as well).
|
||
|
||
To authorize a Yahoo, AOL, or Sky account you will need to create an app password. For instructions, please see here:
|
||
|
||
* [for Yahoo](https://help.yahoo.com/kb/generate-third-party-passwords-sln15241.html)
|
||
* [for AOL](https://help.aol.com/articles/Create-and-manage-app-password)
|
||
* [for Sky](https://www.sky.com/help/articles/getting-started-with-sky-yahoo-mail) (under *Other email apps*)
|
||
|
||
Please see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq111) about OAuth support.
|
||
|
||
Note that Yahoo, AOL, and Sky do not support standard push messages. The Yahoo email app uses a proprietary, undocumented protocol for push messages.
|
||
|
||
Push messages require [IMAP IDLE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAP_IDLE) and the Yahoo email server does not report IDLE as capability:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Y1 CAPABILITY

|
||
**(89) How can I send plain text only messages?**
|
||
|
||
By default FairEmail sends each message both as plain text and as HTML formatted text because almost every receiver expects formatted messages these days. If you want/need to send plain text messages only, you can enable this in the advanced identity options. You might want to create a new identity for this if you want/need to select sending plain text messages on a case-by-case basis.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq90"></a>
|
||
**(90) Why are some texts linked while not being a link?**
|
||
|
||
FairEmail will automatically link not linked web links (http and https) and not linked email addresses (mailto) for your convenience. However, texts and links are not easily distinguished, especially not with lots of [top level domains](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains) being words. This is why texts with dots are sometimes incorrectly recognized as links, which is better than not recognizing some links.
|
||
|
||
Links for the tel, geo, rtsp and xmpp protocols will be recognized too, but links for less usual or less safe protocols like telnet and ftp will not be recognized. The regex to recognize links is already *very* complex and adding more protocols will make it only slower and possibly cause errors.
|
||
|
||
Note that original messages are shown exactly as they are, which means also that links are not automatically added.

**~~(91) Can you add periodical synchronization to save battery power?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~Synchronizing messages is an expensive proces because the local and remote messages need to be compared,~~ ~~so periodically synchronizing messages will not result in saving battery power, more likely the contrary.~~
|
||
|
||
~~See [this FAQ](#user-content-faq39) about optimizing battery usage.~~

|
||
**(92) Can you add spam filtering, verification of the DKIM signature and SPF authorization?**
|
||
|
||
Spam filtering, verification of the [DKIM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail) signature and [SPF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework) authorization is a task of email servers, not of an email client. Servers generally have more memory and computing power, so they are much better suited to this task than battery-powered devices. Also, you'll want spam filtered for all your email clients, possibly including web email, not just one email client. Moreover, email servers have access to information, like the IP address, etc of the connecting server, which an email client has no access to.
|
||
|
||
Spam filtering based on message headers might have been feasible, but unfortunately this technique is [patented by Microsoft](https://patents.google.com/patent/US7543076).
|
||
|
||
Recent versions of FairEmail can filter spam to a certain extend using a message classifier. Please see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq163) for more information about this.
|
||
|
||
Of course you can report messages as spam with FairEmail, which will move the reported messages to the spam folder and train the spam filter of the provider, which is how it is supposed to work. This can be done automatically with [filter rules](#user-content-faq71) too. Blocking the sender will create a filter rule to automatically move future messages of the same sender into the spam folder.
|
||
|
||
Note that the POP3 protocol gives access to the inbox only. So, it is won't be possible to report spam for POP3 accounts.
|
||
|
||
Note that you should not delete spam messages, also not from the spam folder, because the email server uses the messages in the spam folder to "learn" what spam messages are.
|
||
|
||
If you receive a lot of spam messages in your inbox, the best you can do is to contact the email provider to ask if spam filtering can be improved.
|
||
|
||
Also, FairEmail can show a small red warning flag when DKIM, SPF or [DMARC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMARC) authentication failed on the receiving server. You can enable/disable [authentication verification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_authentication) in the display settings.
|
||
|
||
FairEmail can show a warning flag too if the domain name of the (reply) email address of the sender does not define an MX record pointing to an email server. This can be enabled in the receive settings. Be aware that this will slow down synchronization of messages significantly.
|
||
|
||
If the domain name of the sender and the domain name of the reply address differ, the warning flag will be shown too because this is most often the case with phishing messages. If desired, this can be disabled in the receive settings (from version 1.1506).
|
||
|
||
If legitimate messages are failing authentication, you should notify the sender because this will result in a high risk of messages ending up in the spam folder. Moreover, without proper authentication there is a risk the sender will be impersonated. The sender might use [this tool](https://www.mail-tester.com/) to check authentication and other things.

<a name="faq93"></a>
|
||
**(93) Can you allow installation/data storage on external storage media (sdcard)?**
|
||
|
||
FairEmail uses services and alarms, provides widgets and listens for the boot completed event to be started on device start, so it is not possible to store the app on external storage media, like an sdcard. See also [here](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/install-location).
|
||
|
||
Messages, attachments, etc stored on external storage media, like an sdcard, can be accessed by other apps and is therefore not safe. See [here](https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage) for the details.
|
||
|
||
When needed you can save (raw) messages via the three-dots menu just above the message text and save attachments by tapping on the floppy icon.
|
||
|
||
If you need to save on storage space, you can limit the number of days messages are being synchronized and kept for. You can change these settings by long pressing a folder in the folder list and selecting *Edit properties*.

|
||
**(94) What does the red/orange stripe at the end of the header mean?**
|
||
|
||
The red/orange stripe at the left side of the header means that the DKIM, SPF or DMARC authentication failed. See also [this FAQ](#user-content-faq92).
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq95"></a>
|
||
**(95) Why are not all apps shown when selecting an attachment or image?**
|
||
|
||
For privacy and security reasons FairEmail does not have permissions to directly access files, instead the Storage Access Framework, available and recommended since Android 4.4 KitKat (released in 2013), is used to select files.
|
||
|
||
If an app is listed depends on if the app implements a [document provider](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider). If the app is not listed, you might need to ask the developer of the app to add support for the Storage Access Framework.
|
||
|
||
Android Q will make it harder and maybe even impossible to directly access files, see [here](https://developer.android.com/preview/privacy/scoped-storage) and [here](https://www.xda-developers.com/android-q-storage-access-framework-scoped-storage/) for more details.

<a name="faq97"></a>
|
||
**(97) What is 'cleanup' ?**
|
||
|
||
About each four hours FairEmail runs a cleanup job that:
|
||
|
||
* Removes old message texts
|
||
* Removes old attachment files
|
||
* Removes old image files
|
||
* Removes old local contacts
|
||
* Removes old log entries
|
||
|
||
Note that the cleanup job will only run when the synchronize service is active.

<a name="faq98"></a>
|
||
**(98) Why can I still pick contacts after revoking contacts permissions?**
|
||
|
||
After revoking contacts permissions Android does not allow FairEmail access to your contacts anymore. However, picking contacts is delegated to and done by Android and not by FairEmail, so this will still be possible without contacts permissions.
|
||

|
||
|
||
<a name="faq99"></a>
|
||
**(99) Can you add a rich text or markdown editor?**
|
||
|
||
FairEmail provides common text formatting (bold, italic, underline, text size and color) via a toolbar that appears after selecting some text.
|
||
|
||
A [Rich text](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formatted_text) or [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) editor would not be used by many people on a small mobile device and, more important, Android doesn't support a rich text editor and most rich text editor open source projects are abandoned. See [here](https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79061829&postcount=4919) for some more details about this.

|
||
**(100) How can I synchronize Gmail categories?**
|
||
|
||
You can synchronize Gmail categories by creating filters to label categorized messages:
|
||
|
||
* Create a new filter via Gmail > Settings (wheel) > Filters and Blocked Addresses > Create a new filter
|
||
* Enter a category search (see below) in the *Has the words* field and click *Create filter*
|
||
* Check *Apply the label* and select a label and click *Create filter*
|
||
|
||
Possible categories:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
category:social
|
||
category:updates
|
||
category:forums
|
||
category:promotions
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Unfortunately, this is not possible for snoozed messages folder.
|
||
|
||
You can use *Force sync* in the three-dots menu of the unified inbox to let FairEmail synchronize the folder list again and you can long press the folders to enable synchronization.

<a name="faq101"></a>
|
||
**(101) What does the blue/orange dot at the bottom of the conversations mean?**
|
||
|
||
The dot shows the relative position of the conversation in the message list. The dot will be show orange when the conversation is the first or last in the message list, else it will be blue. The dot is meant as an aid when swiping left/right to go to the previous/next conversation.
|
||
|
||
The dot is disabled by default and can be enabled with the display settings *Show relative conversation position with a dot*.

|
||
|
||
<a name="faq102"></a>
|
||
**(102) How can I enable auto rotation of images?**
|
||
|
||
Images will automatically be rotated when automatic resizing of images is enabled in the settings (enabled by default). However, automatic rotating depends on the [Exif](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif) information to be present and to be correct, which is not always the case. Particularly not when taking a photo with a camara app from FairEmail.
|
||
|
||
Note that only [JPEG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG) and [PNG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics) images can contain Exif information.

|
||
**(104) What do I need to know about error reporting?**
|
||
|
||
* Error reports will help improve FairEmail
|
||
* Error reporting is optional and opt-in
|
||
* Error reporting can be enabled/disabled in the settings, section miscellaneous
|
||
* Error reports will automatically be sent anonymously to [Bugsnag](https://www.bugsnag.com/)
|
||
* Bugsnag for Android is [open source](https://github.com/bugsnag/bugsnag-android)
|
||
* See [here](https://docs.bugsnag.com/platforms/android/automatically-captured-data/) about what data will be sent in case of errors
|
||
* See [here](https://docs.bugsnag.com/legal/privacy-policy/) for the privacy policy of Bugsnag
|
||
* Error reports will be sent to *sessions.bugsnag.com:443* and *notify.bugsnag.com:443*

|
||
**(105) How does the roam-like-at-home option work?**
|
||
|
||
FairEmail will check if the country code of the SIM card and the country code of the network are in the [EU roam-like-at-home countries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_roaming_regulations#Territorial_extent) and assumes no roaming if the country codes are equal and the advanced roam-like-at-home option is enabled.
|
||
|
||
So, you don't have to disable this option if you don't have an EU SIM or are not connected to an EU network.

**(106) Which launchers can show a badge count with the number of unread messages?**
|
||
|
||
Please [see here](https://github.com/leolin310148/ShortcutBadger#supported-launchers) for a list of launchers which can show the number of unread messages.
|
||
|
||
Note that Nova Launcher requires Tesla Unread, which is [not supported anymore](https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/bad-news-tesla-unread-devoloper-t3920415).
|
||
|
||
Note that the notification setting *Show launcher icon with number of new messages* needs to be enabled (default enabled).
|
||
|
||
Only *new* unread messages in folders set to show new message notifications will be counted, so messages marked unread again and messages in folders set to not show new message notification will not be counted.
|
||
|
||
Depending on what you want, the notification settings *Let the number of new messages match the number of notifications* needs to be enabled (default disabled). When enabled the badge count will be the same as the number of new message notifications. When disabled the badge count will be the number of unread messages, independent if they are shown in a notification or are new.
|
||
|
||
This feature depends on support of your launcher. FairEmail merely 'broadcasts' the number of unread messages using the ShortcutBadger library. If it doesn't work, this cannot be fixed by changes in FairEmail.
|
||
|
||
Some launchers display a dot or a '1' for [the monitoring notification](#user-content-faq2), despite FairEmail explicitly requesting not to show a *badge* for this notification. This could be caused by a bug in the launcher app or in your Android version. Please double check if the notification dot (badge) is disabled for the receive (service) notification channel. You can go to the right notification channel settings via the notification settings of FairEmail. This might not be obvious, but you can tap on the channel name for more settings.
|
||
|
||
FairEmail does send a new message count intent as well:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
eu.faircode.email.NEW_MESSAGE_COUNT
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The number of new, unread messages will be in an integer "*count*" parameter.

|
||
**(107) How do I use colored stars?**
|
||
|
||
You can set a colored star via the *more* message menu, via multiple selection (started by long pressing a message), by long pressing a star in a conversation or automatically by using [rules](#user-content-faq71).
|
||
|
||
You need to know that colored stars are not supported by the IMAP protocol and can therefore not be synchronized to an email server. This means that colored stars will not be visible in other email clients and will be lost on downloading messages again. However, the stars (without color) will be synchronized and will be visible in other email clients, when supported.
|
||
|
||
Some email clients use IMAP keywords for colors. However, not all servers support IMAP keywords and besides that there are no standard keywords for colors.

**~~(108) Can you add permanently delete messages from any folder?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~When you delete messages from a folder the messages will be moved to the trash folder, so you have a chance to restore the messages.~~ ~~You can permanently delete messages from the trash folder.~~ ~~Permanently delete messages from other folders would defeat the purpose of the trash folder, so this will not be added.~~

|
||
**~~(109) Why is 'select account' available in official versions only?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~Using *select account* to select and authorize Google accounts require special permission from Google for security and privacy reasons.~~ ~~This special permission can only be acquired for apps a developer manages and is responsible for.~~ ~~Third party builds, like the F-Droid builds, are managed by third parties and are the responsibility of these third parties.~~ ~~So, only these third parties can acquire the required permission from Google.~~ ~~Since these third parties do not actually support FairEmail, they are most likely not going to request the required permission.~~
|
||
|
||
~~You can solve this in two ways:~~
|
||
|
||
* ~~Switch to the official version of FairEmail, see [here](https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/README.md#downloads) for the options~~
|
||
* ~~Use app specific passwords, see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq6)~~

|
||
**(110) Why are (some) messages empty and/or attachments corrupt?**
|
||
|
||
Empty messages and/or corrupt attachments are probably being caused by a bug in the server software. Older Microsoft Exchange software is known to cause this problem. Mostly you can workaround this by disabling *Partial fetch* in the advanced account settings:
|
||
|
||
Settings > Manual setup > Accounts > tap account > tap advanced > Partial fetch > uncheck
|
||
|
||
After disabling this setting, you can use the message 'more' (three dots) menu to 'resync' empty messages. Alternatively, you can *Delete local messages* by long pressing the folder(s) in the folder list and synchronize all messages again.
|
||
|
||
Disabling *Partial fetch* will result in more memory usage.

**(111) Is OAuth supported?**
|
||
|
||
OAuth for Gmail is supported via the quick setup wizard. The Android account manager will be used to fetch and refresh OAuth tokens for selected on-device accounts. OAuth for non on-device accounts is not supported because Google requires a [yearly security audit](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/9110914) ($15,000 to $75,000) for this. You can read more about this [here](https://www.theregister.com/2019/02/11/google_gmail_developer/).
|
||
|
||
OAuth for Yandex and Yahoo is supported via the quick setup wizard.
|
||
|
||
OAuth for Office 365 accounts is supported, but Microsoft does not offer OAuth for Outlook, Live and Hotmail accounts (yet?).

**(112) Which email provider do you recommend?**
|
||
|
||
FairEmail is an email client only, so you need to bring your own email address. Note that this is clearly mentioned in the app description.
|
||
|
||
There are plenty of email providers to choose from. Which email provider is best for you depends on your wishes/requirements. Please see the websites of [Restore privacy](https://restoreprivacy.com/secure-email/) or [Privacy Tools](https://www.privacytools.io/providers/email/) for a list of privacy oriented email providers with advantages and disadvantages.
|
||
|
||
Some providers, like ProtonMail, Tutanota, use proprietary email protocols, which make it impossible to use third party email apps. Please see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq129) for more information.
|
||
|
||
Using your own (custom) domain name, which is supported by most email providers, will make it easier to switch to another email provider.

**(113) How does biometric authentication work?**
|
||
|
||
If your device has a biometric sensor, for example a fingerprint sensor, you can enable/disable biometric authentication in the navigation (hamburger) menu of the settings screen. When enabled FairEmail will require biometric authentication after a period of inactivity or after the screen has been turned off while FairEmail was running. Activity is navigation within FairEmail, for example opening a conversation thread. The inactivity period duration can be configured in the miscellaneous settings. When biometric authentication is enabled new message notifications will not show any content and FairEmail won't be visible on the Android recents screen.
|
||
|
||
Biometric authentication is meant to prevent others from seeing your messages only. FairEmail relies on device encryption for data encryption, see also [this FAQ](#user-content-faq37).
|
||
|
||
Biometric authentication is a pro feature.

**(114) Can you add an import for the settings of other email apps?**
|
||
|
||
The format of the settings files of most other email apps is not documented, so this is difficult. Sometimes it is possible to reverse engineer the format, but as soon as the settings format changes things will break. Also, settings are often incompatible. For example, FairEmail has unlike most other email apps settings for the number of days to synchronize messages and for the number of days to keep messages, mainly to save on battery usage. Moreover, setting up an account/identity with the quick setup wizard is simple, so it is not really worth the effort.

|
||
**(115) Can you add email address chips?**
|
||
|
||
Email address [chips](https://material.io/design/components/chips.html) look nice, but cannot be edited, which is quite inconvenient when you made a typo in an email address.
|
||
|
||
Note that FairEmail will select the address only when long pressing an address, which makes it easy to delete an address.
|
||
|
||
Chips are not suitable for showing in a list and since the message header in a list should look similar to the message header of the message view it is not an option to use chips for viewing messages.

**(117) Can you help me restore my purchase?**
|
||
|
||
First of all, a purchase will be available on all devices logged into the same Google account, *if* the app is installed via the same Google account too. You can select the account in the Play store app.
|
||
|
||
Google manages all purchases, so as a developer I have little control over purchases. So, basically the only thing I can do, is give some advice:
|
||
|
||
* Make sure you have an active, working internet connection
|
||
* Make sure you are logged in with the right Google account and that there is nothing wrong with your Google account
|
||
* Make sure you installed FairEmail via the right Google account if you configured multiple Google accounts on your device
|
||
* Make sure the Play store app is up to date, please [see here](https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1050566?hl=en)
|
||
* Open the Play store app and wait at least a minute to give it time to synchronize with the Google servers
|
||
* Open FairEmail and navigate to the pro features screen to let FairEmail check the purchases; sometimes it help to tap the *buy* button
|
||
|
||
You can also try to clear the cache of the Play store app via the Android apps settings. Restarting the device might be necessary to let the Play store recognize the purchase correctly.
|
||
|
||
Note that:
|
||
|
||
* If you get *ITEM_ALREADY_OWNED*, the Play store app probably needs to be updated, please [see here](https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1050566?hl=en)
|
||
* Purchases are stored in the Google cloud and cannot get lost
|
||
* There is no time limit on purchases, so they cannot expire
|
||
* Google does not expose details (name, e-mail, etc) about buyers to developers
|
||
* An app like FairEmail cannot select which Google account to use
|
||
* It may take a while until the Play store app has synchronized a purchase to another device
|
||
* Play Store purchases cannot be used without the Play Store, which is also not allowed by Play Store rules
|
||
|
||
If you cannot solve the problem with the purchase, you will have to contact Google about it.

**~~(119) Can you add colors to the unified inbox widget?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~The widget is designed to look good on most home/launcher screens by making it monochrome and by using a half transparent background.~~ ~~This way the widget will nicely blend in, while still being properly readable.~~
|
||
|
||
~~Adding colors will cause problems with some backgrounds and will cause readability problems, which is why this won't be added.~~
|
||
|
||
Due to Android limitations it is not possible to dynamically set the opacity of the background and to have rounded corners at the same time.

<a name="faq120"></a>
|
||
**(120) Why are new message notifications not removed on opening the app?**
|
||
|
||
New message notifications will be removed on swiping notifications away or on marking the associated messages read. Opening the app will not remove new message notifications. This gives you a choice to leave new message notifications as a reminder that there are still unread messages.
|
||
|
||
On Android 7 Nougat and later new message notifications will be [grouped](https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/group). Tapping on the summary notification will open the unified inbox. The summary notification can be expanded to view individual new message notifications. Tapping on an individual new message notification will open the conversation the message it is part of. See [this FAQ](#user-content-faq70) about when messages in a conversation will be auto expanded and marked read.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq121"></a>
|
||
**(121) How are messages grouped into a conversation?**
|
||
|
||
By default FairEmail groups messages in conversations. This can be turned of in the display settings.
|
||
|
||
FairEmail groups messages based on the standard *Message-ID*, *In-Reply-To* and *References* headers. FairEmail does not group on other criteria, like the subject, because this could result in grouping unrelated messages and would be at the expense of increased battery usage.

<a name="faq122"></a>
|
||
**~~(122) Why is the recipient name/email address show with a warning color?~~**
|
||
|
||
~~The recipient name and/or email address in the addresses section will be shown in a warning color~~ ~~when the sender domain name and the domain name of the *to* address do not match.~~ ~~Mostly this indicates that the message was received *via* an account with another email address.~~
|

<a name="faq123"></a>
|
||
**(123) What will happen when FairEmail cannot connect to an email server?**
|
||
|
||
If FairEmail cannot connect to an email server to synchronize messages, for example if the internet connection is bad or a firewall or a VPN is blocking the connection, FairEmail will retry one time after waiting 8 seconds while keeping the device awake (=use battery power). If this fails, FairEmail will schedule an alarm to retry after 15, 30 and eventually every 60 minutes and let the device sleep (=no battery usage).
|
||
|
||
Note that [Android doze mode](https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby) does not allow to wake the device earlier than after 15 minutes.
|
||
|
||
*Force sync* in the three-dots menu of the unified inbox can be used to let FairEmail attempt to reconnect without waiting.
|
||
|
||
Sending messages will be retried on connectivity changes only (reconnecting to the same network or connecting to another network) to prevent the email server from blocking the connection permanently. You can pull down the outbox to retry manually.
|
||
|
||
Note that sending will not be retried in case of authentication problems and when the server rejected the message. In this case you can pull down the outbox to try again.

|
||
**(124) Why do I get 'Message too large or too complex to display'?**
|
||
|
||
The message *Message too large or too complex to display* will be shown if there are more than 100,000 characters or more than 500 links in a message. Reformatting and displaying such messages will take too long. You can try to use the original message view, powered by the browser, instead.
|
||
|

<br />
|
||
|
||
<a name="faq125"></a>
|
||
**(125) What are the current experimental features?**
|
||
|
||
*Message classification (version 1.1438+)*
|
||
|
||
Please see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq163) for details.
|
||
|
||
Since this is an experimental feature, my advice is to start with just one folder.
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
*Send hard bounce (version 1.1477+)*
|
||
|
||
Send a [Delivery Status Notification](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3464) (=hard bounce) via the reply/answer menu.
|
||
|
||
Hard bounces will mostly be processed automatically because they affect the reputation of the email provider. The bounce address (=*Return-Path* header) is mostly very specific, so the email server can determine the sending account.
|
||
|
||
For some background, see for [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounce_message).

|
||
**(126) Can message previews be sent to my wearable?**
|
||
|
||
FairEmail fetches a message in two steps:
|
||
|
||
1. Fetch message headers
|
||
1. Fetch message text and attachments
|
||
|
||
Directly after the first step new messages will be notified. However, only until after the second step the message text will be available. FairEmail updates exiting notifications with a preview of the message text, but unfortunately wearable notifications cannot be updated.
|
||
|
||
Since there is no guarantee that a message text will always be fetched directly after a message header, it is not possible to guarantee that a new message notification with a preview text will always be sent to a wearable.
|
||
|
||
If you think this is good enough, you can enable the notification option *Only send notifications with a message preview to wearables* and if this does not work, you can try to enable the notification option *Show notifications with a preview text only*. Note that this applies to wearables not showing a preview text too, even when the Android Wear app says the notification has been sent (bridged).
|
||
|
||
If you want to have the full message text sent to your wearable, you can enable the notification option *Preview all text*. Note that some wearables are known to crash with this option enabled.
|
||
|
||
If you use a Samsung wearable with the Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) app, you might need to enable notifications for FairEmail when the setting *Notifications*, *Apps installed in the future* is turned off in this app.

**(127) How can I fix 'Syntactically invalid HELO argument(s)'?**
|
||
|

**(129) Are ProtonMail, Tutanota supported?**
|
||
|
||
ProtonMail uses a proprietary email protocol and [does not directly support IMAP](https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/imap-smtp-and-pop3-setup/), so you cannot use FairEmail to access ProtonMail.
|
||
|
||
Tutanota uses a proprietary email protocol and [does not support IMAP](https://tutanota.com/faq/#imap), so you cannot use FairEmail to access Tutanota.

||
<a name="faq130"></a>
|
||
**(130) What does message error ... mean?**
|
||
|
||
A series of lines with orangish or red texts with technical information means that debug mode was enabled in the miscellaneous settings.
|
||
|
||
The warning *No server found at ...* means that there was no email server registered at the indicated domain name. Replying to the message might not be possible and might result in an error. This could indicate a falsified email address and/or spam.
|
||
|
||
The error *... ParseException ...* means that there is a problem with a received message, likely caused by a bug in the sending software. FairEmail will workaround this is in most cases, so this message can mostly be considered as a warning instead of an error.
|
||
|
||
The error *...SendFailedException...* means that there was a problem while sending a message. The error will almost always include a reason. Common reasons are that the message was too big or that one or more recipient addresses were invalid.
|
||
|
||
The warning *Message too large to fit into the available memory* means that the message was larger than 10 MiB. Even if your device has plenty of storage space Android provides limited working memory to apps, which limits the size of messages that can be handled.
|
||
|
||
Please see [here](#user-content-faq22) for other error messages in the outbox.

**(131) Can you change the direction for swiping to previous/next message?**
|
||
|
||
If you read from left to right, swiping to the left will show the next message. Similarly, if you read from right to left, swiping to the right will show the next message.
|
||
|
||
This behavior seems quite natural to me, also because it is similar to turning pages.
|
||
|
||
Anyway, there is a behavior setting to reverse the swipe direction.

**(132) Why are new message notifications silent?**
|
||
|
||
Notifications are silent by default on some MIUI versions. Please see [here](http://en.miui.com/thread-3930694-1-1.html) how you can fix this.
|
||
|
||
There is a bug in some Android versions causing [setOnlyAlertOnce](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.Builder#setOnlyAlertOnce(boolean)) to mute notifications. Since FairEmail shows new message notifications right after fetching the message headers and FairEmail needs to update new message notifications after fetching the message text later, this cannot be fixed or worked around by FairEmail.
|
||
|
||
Android might rate limit the notification sound, which can cause some new message notifications to be silent.

<a name="faq133"></a>
|
||
**(133) Why is ActiveSync not supported?**
|
||
|
||
The Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol [is patented](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_ActiveSync#Licensing) and can therefore not be supported. For this reason you won't find many, if any, other email clients supporting ActiveSync.
|
||
|
||
Note that the desciption of FairEmail starts with the remark that non-standard protocols, like Microsoft Exchange Web Services and Microsoft ActiveSync are not supported.
|

<a name="faq134"></a>
|
||
**(134) Can you add deleting local messages?**
|
||
|
||
*POP3*
|
||
|
||
In the account settings (Settings, tap Manual setup, tap Accounts, tap account) you can enable *Leave deleted messages on server*.
|
||
|
||
*IMAP*
|
||
|
||
Since the IMAP protocol is meant to synchronize two ways, deleting a message from the device would result in fetching the message again when synchronizing again.
|
||
|
||
However, FairEmail supports hiding messages, either via the three-dots menu in the action bar just above the message text or by multiple selecting messages in the message list. Basically this is the same as "leave on server" of the POP3 protocol with the advantage that you can show the messages again when needed.
|
||
|
||
Note that it is possible to set the swipe left or right action to hide a message.

||
**(135) Why are trashed messages and drafts shown in conversations?**
|
||
|
||
Individual messages will rarely be trashed and mostly this happens by accident. Showing trashed messages in conversations makes it easier to find them back.
|
||
|
||
You can permanently delete a message using the message three-dots *delete* menu, which will remove the message from the conversation. Note that this irreversible.
|
||
|
||
Similarly, drafts are shown in conversations to find them back in the context where they belong. It is easy to read through the received messages before continuing to write the draft later.

**(136) How can I delete an account/identity/folder?**
|
||

Deleting an account/identity/folder is a little bit hidden to prevent accidents.
|
||
|
||
* Account: Settings > Manual setup > Accounts > tap account
|
||
* Identity: Settings > Manual setup > Identities > tap identity
|
||
* Folder: Long press the folder in the folder list > Edit properties
|
||
|

<a name="faq138"></a>
|
||
**(138) Can you add calendar/contact/tasks/notes management?**
|
||
|
||
Calendar, contact, task and note management can better be done by a separate, specialized app. Note that FairEmail is a specialized email app, not an office suite.
|
||
|
||
Also, I prefer to do a few things very well, instead of many things only half. Moreover, from a security perspective, it is not a good idea to grant many permissions to a single app.
|
||
|
||
You are advised to use the excellent, open source [DAVx⁵](https://f-droid.org/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid/) app to synchronize/manage your calendars/contacts.
|
||
|
||
Most providers support exporting your contacts. Please [see here](https://support.google.com/contacts/answer/1069522) about how you can import contacts if synchronizing is not possible.
|
||
|
||
Note that FairEmail does support replying to calendar invites (a pro feature) and adding calendar invites to your personal calendar.

**(139) How do I fix 'User is authenticated but not connected'?**
|
||
|
||
In fact this Microsoft Exchange specific error is an incorrect error message caused by a bug in older Exchange server software.
|
||
|
||
The error *User is authenticated but not connected* might occur if:
|
||
|
||
* Push messages are enabled for too many folders: see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq23) for more information and a workaround
|
||
* The account password was changed: changing it in FairEmail too should fix the problem
|
||
* An alias email address is being used as username instead of the primary email address
|
||
* An incorrect login scheme is being used for a shared mailbox: the right scheme is *username@domain\SharedMailboxAlias*
|
||
|
||
The shared mailbox alias will mostly be the email address of the shared account, like this:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
you@example.com\shared@example.com
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note that it should be a backslash and not a forward slash.
|
||
|
||
When using a shared mailbox, you'll likely want to enable the option *Synchronize shared folder lists* in the receive settings.

<a name="faq140"></a>
|
||
**(140) Why does the message text contain strange characters?**
|
||
|
||
Displaying strange characters is almost always caused by specifying no or an invalid character encoding by the sending software. FairEmail will assume [ISO 8859-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1) when no character set or when [US-ASCII](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII) was specified. Other than that there is no way to reliably determine the correct character encoding automatically, so this cannot be fixed by FairEmail. The right action is to complain to the sender.

<a name="faq141"></a>
|
||
**(141) How can I fix 'A drafts folder is required to send messages'?**
|
||
|
||
To store draft messages a drafts folder is required. In most cases FairEmail will automatically select the drafts folders on adding an account based on [the attributes](https://www.iana.org/assignments/imap-mailbox-name-attributes/imap-mailbox-name-attributes.xhtml) the email server sends. However, some email servers are not configured properly and do not send these attributes. In this case FairEmail tries to identify the drafts folder by name, but this might fail if the drafts folder has an unusual name or is not present at all.
|
||
|
||
You can fix this problem by manually selecting the drafts folder in the account settings (Settings, tap Manual setup, tap Accounts, tap account, at the bottom). If there is no drafts folder at all, you can create a drafts folder by tapping on the '+' button in the folder list of the account (tap on the account name in the navigation menu).
|
||
|
||
Some providers, like Gmail, allow enabling/disabling IMAP for individual folders. So, if a folder is not visible, you might need to enable IMAP for the folder.

**(142) How can I store sent messages in the inbox?**
|
||
|
||
Generally, it is not a good idea to store sent messages in the inbox because this is hard to undo and could be incompatible with other email clients.
|
||
|
||
That said, FairEmail is able to properly handle sent messages in the inbox. FairEmail will mark outgoing messages with a sent messages icon for example.
|
||
|
||
The best solution would be to enable showing the sent folder in the unified inbox by long pressing the sent folder in the folder list and enabling *Show in unified inbox*. This way all messages can stay where they belong, while allowing to see both incoming and outgoing messages at one place.
|
||
|
||
If this is not an option, you can [create a rule](#user-content-faq71) to automatically move sent messages to the inbox or set a default CC/BCC address in the advanced identity settings to send yourself a copy.

**~~(143) Can you add a trash folder for POP3 accounts?~~**
|
||
|
||
[POP3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Office_Protocol) is a very limited protocol. Basically only messages can be downloaded and deleted from the inbox. It is not even possible to mark a message read.
|
||
|
||
Since POP3 does not allow access to the trash folder at all, there is no way to restore trashed messages.
|
||
|
||
Note that you can hide messages and search for hidden messages, which is similar to a local trash folder, without suggesting that trashed messages can be restored, while this is actually not possible.
|
||
|
||
Version 1.1082 added a local trash folder. Note that trashing a message will permanently remove it from the server and that trashed messages cannot be restored to the server anymore.

**(144) How can I record voice notes?**
|
||
|
||
To record voice notes you can press this icon in the bottom action bar of the message composer:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
This requires a compatible audio recorder app to be installed. In particular [this common intent](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.Audio.Media.html#RECORD_SOUND_ACTION) needs to be supported.
|
||
|
||
For example [this audio recorder](https://f-droid.org/app/com.github.axet.audiorecorder) is compatible.
|
||
|
||
Voice notes will automatically be attached.

**(145) How can I set a notification sound for an account, folder or sender?**
|
||
|
||
Account:
|
||
|
||
* Enable *Separate notifications* in the advanced account settings (Settings, tap Manual setup, tap Accounts, tap account, tap Advanced)
|
||
* Long press the account in the account list (Settings, tap Manual setup, tap Accounts) and select *Edit notification channel* to change the notification sound
|
||
|
||
Folder:
|
||
|
||
* Long press the folder in the folder list and select *Create notification channel*
|
||
* Long press the folder in the folder list and select *Edit notification channel* to change the notification sound
|
||
|
||
Sender:
|
||
|
||
* Open a message from the sender and expand it
|
||
* Expand the addresses section by tapping on the down arrow
|
||
* Tap on the bell icon to create or edit a notification channel and to change the notification sound
|
||
|
||
The order of precendence is: sender sound, folder sound, account sound and default sound.
|
||
|
||
Setting a notification sound for an account, folder or sender requires Android 8 Oreo or later and is a pro feature.

<a name="faq146"></a>
|
||
**(146) How can I fix incorrect message times?**
|
||
|
||
Since the sent date/time is optional and can be manipulated by the sender, FairEmail uses the server received date/time by default.
|
||
|
||
Sometimes the server received date/time is incorrect, mostly because messages were incorrectly imported from another server and sometimes due to a bug in the email server.
|
||
|
||
In these rare cases, it is possible to let FairEmail use either the date/time from the *Date* header (sent time) or from the *Received* header as a workaround. This can be changed in the advanced account settings: Settings, tap Manual setup, tap Accounts, tap account, tap Advanced.
|
||
|
||
This will not change the time of already synchronized messages. To solve this, long press the folder(s) in the folder list and select *Delete local messages* and *Synchronize now*.

|
||
**(147) What should I know about third party versions?**
|
||
|
||
You likely came here because you are using a third party build of FairEmail.
|
||
|
||
There is **only support** on the latest Play store version, the latest GitHub release and the F-Droid build, but **only if** the version number of the F-Droid build is the same as the version number of the latest GitHub release.
|
||
|
||
F-Droid builds irregularly, which can be problematic when there is an important update. Therefore you are advised to switch to the GitHub release.
|
||
|
||
The F-Droid version is built from the same source code, but signed differently. This means that all features are available in the F-Droid version too, except for using the Gmail quick setup wizard because Google approved (and allows) one app signature only. For all other email providers, OAuth access is only available in Play Store versions and Github releases, as the email providers only permit the use of OAuth for official builds.
|
||
|
||
Note that you'll need to uninstall the F-Droid build first before you can install a GitHub release because Android refuses to install the same app with a different signature for security reasons.
|
||
|
||
Note that the GitHub version will automatically check for updates. When desired, this can be turned off in the miscellaneous settings.
|
||
|
||
Please [see here](https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/README.md#user-content-downloads) for all download options.
|
||
|
||
If you have a problem with the F-Droid build, please check if there is a newer GitHub version first.

|
||
|

**(149) How does the unread message count widget work?**
|
||
|
||
The unread message count widget shows the number of unread messages either for all accounts or for a selected account, but only for the folders for which new message notifications are enabled.
|
||
|
||
Tapping on the notification will synchronize all folders for which synchronization is enabled and will open:
|
||
|
||
* the start screen when all accounts were selected
|
||
* a folder list when a specific account was selected and when new message notifications are enabled for multiple folders
|
||
* a list of messages when a specific account was selected and when new message notifications are enabled for one folder

||
**(150) Can you add cancelling calendar invites?**
|
||
|
||
Cancelling calendar invites (removing calendar events) requires write calendar permission, which will result in effectively granting permission to read and write *all* calendar events of *all* calendars.
|
||
|
||
Given the goal of FairEmail, privacy and security, and given that it is easy to remove a calendar event manually, it is not a good idea to request this permission for just this reason.
|
||
|
||
Inserting new calendar events can be done without permissions with special [intents](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/calendar-provider.html#intents). Unfortunately, there exists no intent to delete existing calendar events.

**(151) Can you add backup/restore of messages?**
|
||
|
||
An email client is meant to read and write messages, not to backup and restore messages. Note that breaking or losing your device, means losing your messages!
|
||
|
||
Instead, the email provider/server is responsible for backups.
|
||
|
||
If you want to make a backup yourself, you could use a tool like [imapsync](https://imapsync.lamiral.info/).
|
||
|
||
Since version 1.1556 it is possible to export all messages of a POP3 folder in mbox format according to [RFC4155](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4155.txt), which might be useful to save sent messages if the email server doesn't.
|
||
|
||
If you want to import an mbox file to an existing email account, you can use Thunderbird on a desktop computer and the [ImportExportTools](https://addons.thunderbird.net/nl/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/) add-on.

**(153) Why does permanently deleting Gmail message not work?**
|
||
|
||
You might need to change [the Gmail IMAP settings](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/fwdandpop) on a desktop browser to make it work:
|
||
|
||
* When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted: Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.
|
||
* When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder: Immediately delete the message forever
|
||
|
||
Note that archived messages can be deleted only by moving them to the trash folder first.
|
||
|
||
Some background: Gmail seems to have an additional message view for IMAP, which can be different from the main message view.
|
||
|
||
Another oddity is that a star (favorite message) set via the web interface cannot be removed with the IMAP command
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
STORE <message number> -FLAGS (\Flagged)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
On the other hand, a star set via IMAP is being shown in the web interface and can be removed via IMAP.

**(156) How can I set up an Office 365 account?**
|
||
|
||
An Office 365 account can be set up via the quick setup wizard and selecting *Office 365 (OAuth)*.
|
||
|
||
If the wizard ends with *AUTHENTICATE failed*, IMAP and/or SMTP might be disabled for the account. In this case you should ask the administrator to enable IMAP and SMTP. The procedure is documented [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-in/exchange/troubleshoot/configure-mailboxes/pop3-imap-owa-activesync-office-365).
|
||
|
||
If you've enabled *security defaults* in your organization, you might need to enable the SMTP AUTH protocol. Please [see here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/authenticated-client-smtp-submission) about how to.

**(158) Which camera / audio recorder do you recommend?**
|
||
|
||
To take photos and to record audio a camera and an audio recorder app are needed. The following apps are open source cameras and audio recorders:
|
||
|
||
* [Open Camera](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera) ([F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.sourceforge.opencamera/))
|
||
* [Audio Recorder version 3.3.24+](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.axet.audiorecorder) ([F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.axet.audiorecorder/))
|
||
|
||
To record voice notes, etc, the audio recorder needs to support [MediaStore.Audio.Media.RECORD_SOUND_ACTION](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.Audio.Media#RECORD_SOUND_ACTION). Oddly, most audio recorders seem not to support this standard Android action.

**(159) What are Disconnect's tracker protection lists?**
|
||
|
||
Please see [here](https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection) for more information about Disconnect's tracker protection lists.
|
||
|
||
After downloading the lists in the privacy settings, the lists can optionally be used:
|
||
|
||
* to warn about tracking links on opening links
|
||
* to recognize tracking images in messages
|
||
|
||
Tracking images will be disabled only if the corresponding main 'disable' option is enabled.
|
||
|
||
Tracking images will not be recognized when the domain is classified as '*Content*', see [here](https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection#trackers-we-dont-block) for more information.
|
||
|
||
This command can be sent to FairEmail from an automation app to update the protection lists:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
(adb shell) am start-foreground-service -a eu.faircode.email.DISCONNECT.ME
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Updating once a week will probably be sufficient, please see [here](https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/commits/master) for recent lists changes.

|
||
**(160) Can you add permanent deletion of messages without confirmation?**
|
||
|
||
Permanent deletion means that messages will *irreversibly* be lost, and to prevent this from happening accidentally, this always needs to be confirmed. Even with a confirmation, some very angry people who lost some of their messages through their own fault contacted me, which was a rather unpleasant experience :-(
|
||
|
||
Advanced: the IMAP delete flag in combination with the EXPUNGE command is not supportable because both email servers and not all people can handle this, risking unexpected loss of messages. A complicating factor is that not all email servers support [UID EXPUNGE](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4315).
|
||
|
||
From version 1.1485 it is possible to temporarily enable debug mode in the miscellaneous settings to disable expunging messages. Note that messages with a *\Deleted* flag will not be shown in FairEmail.

**(162) Is IMAP NOTIFY supported?***
|
||
|
||
Yes, [IMAP NOTIFY](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5465) has been supported since version 1.1413.
|
||
|
||
IMAP NOTIFY support means that notifications for added, changed or deleted messages of all *subscribed* folders will be requested and if a notification is received for a subscribed folder, that the folder will be synchronized. Synchronization for subscribed folders can therefore be disable, saving folder connections to the email server.
|
||
|
||
**Important**: push messages (=always sync) for the inbox and subscription management (receive settings) need to be enabled.
|
||
|
||
**Important**: most email servers do not support this! You can check the log via the navigation menu if an email server supports the NOTIFY capability.

<a name="faq163"></a>
|
||
**(163) What is message classification?**
|
||
|
||
*This is an experimental feature!*
|
||
|
||
Message classification will attempt to automatically group emails into classes, based on their contents, using [Bayesian statistics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_statistics). In the context of FairEmail, a folder is a class. So, for example, the inbox, the spam folder, a 'marketing' folder, etc, etc.
|
||
|
||
You can enable message classification in the miscellaneous settings. This will enable 'learning' mode only. The classifier will 'learn' from new messages in the inbox and spam folder by default. The folder property *Classify new messages in this folder* will enable or disable 'learning' mode for a folder. You can clear local messages (long press a folder in the folder list of an account) and synchronize the messages again to classify existing messages.
|
||
|
||
Each folder has an option *Automatically move classified messages to this folder* ('auto classification' for short). When this is turned on, new messages in other folders which the classifier thinks belong to that folder will be automatically moved.
|
||
|
||
The option *Use local spam filter* in the report spam dialog will turn on message classification in the miscellaneous settings and auto classification for the spam folder. Please understand that this is not a replacement for the spam filter of the email server and can result in [false positives and false negatives](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positives_and_false_negatives). See also [this FAQ](#user-content-faq92).
|
||
|
||
A practical example: suppose there is a folder 'marketing' and auto message classification is enabled for this folder. Each time you move a message into this folder you'll train FairEmail that similar messages belong in this folder. Each time you move a message out of this folder you'll train FairEmail that similar messages do not belong in this folder. After moving some messages into the 'marketing' folder, FairEmail will start moving similar messages automatically into this folder. Or, the other way around, after moving some messages out of the 'marketing' folder, FairEmail will stop moving similar messages automatically into this folder. This will work best with messages with similar content (email addresses, subject and message text).
|
||
|
||
Classification should be considered as a best guess - it might be a wrong guess, or the classifier might not be confident enough to make any guess. If the classifier is unsure, it will simply leave an email where it is.
|
||
|
||
To prevent the email server from moving a message into the spam folder again and again, auto classification out of the spam folder will not be done.
|
||
|
||
The message classifier calculates the probability a message belongs in a folder (class). There are two options in the miscellaneous settings which control if a message will be automatically moved into a folder, provided that auto classification is enabled for the folder:
|
||
|
||
* *Minimum class probability*: a message will only be moved when the confidence it belongs in a folder is greater than this value (default 15 %)
|
||
* *Minimum class difference*: a message will only be moved when the difference in confidence between one class and the next most likely class is greater than this value (default 50 %)
|
||
|
||
Both conditions must be satisfied before a message will be moved.
|
||
|
||
Considering the default option values:
|
||
|
||
* Apples 40 % and bananas 30 % would be disregarded because the difference of 25 % is below the minimum of 50 %
|
||
* Apples 10 % and bananas 5 % would be disregarded because the probability for apples is below the minimum of 15 %
|
||
* Apples 50 % and bananas 20 % would result in selecting apples
|
||
|
||
Classification is optimized to use as little resources as possible, but will inevitably use some extra battery power.
|
||
|
||
You can delete all classification data by turning classification in the miscellaneous settings three times off.
|
||
|
||
[Filter rules](#user-content-faq71) will be executed before classification.
|
||
|
||
Message classification is a pro feature, except for the spam folder.

**(164) Can you add customizable themes?**
|
||
|
||
Unfortunately, Android [does not support](https://stackoverflow.com/a/26511725/1794097) dynamic themes, which means all themes need [to be predefined](https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml).
|
||
|
||
Since for each theme there needs to be a light, dark and black variant, it is not feasible to add for each color combination (literally millions) a predefined theme.
|
||
|
||
Moreover, a theme is more than just a few colors. For example themes with a yellow accent color use a darker link color for enough contrast.
|
||
|
||
The theme colors are based on the color circle of [Johannes Itten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Itten).

|
||
|
||
For notification (messaging) support you'll need to enable the following notification options:
|
||
|
||
* *Use Android 'messaging style' notification format*
|
||
* Notification actions: *Direct reply* and (mark as) *Read*
|
||
|

You can enable other notification actions too, if you like, but they are not supported by Android Auto.

**(166) Can I snooze a message across multiple devices?**
|
||
|
||
First of all, there is no standard for snoozing messages, so all snooze implementations are custom solutions.
|
||
|
||
Some email providers, like Gmail, move snoozed messages to a special folder. Unfortunately, third party apps have no access to this special folder.
|
||
|
||
Moving a message to another folder and back might fail and might not be possible if there is no internet connection. This is problematic because a message can be snoozed only after moving the message.
|
||
|
||
To prevent these issues, snoozing is done locally on the device by hiding the message while it is snoozing. Unfortunately, it is not possible to hide messages on the email server too.
