Frequently Asked Questions
(1) Which permissions are needed and why?
- Full network access (INTERNET): to send and receive email
- View network connections (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): to monitor internet connectivity changes
- Run at startup (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED): to start monitoring on device start
The low priority status bar notification shows the number of pending operations, which can be:
- Mark message as seen/unseen in remote folder
- Add message to remote folder
- Move message to another remote folder
- Delete message from remote folder
- Send message
- Download attachment
(3) What is a valid security certificate?
Valid security certificates are officially signed (not self signed) and have matching a host name.
(4) Why is IMAP IDLE required?
Without IMAP IDLE emails need to be periodically fetched, which is a waste of battery power and internet bandwidth and will delay notification of new emails.
