@phill Made it into the next beta round yesterday and must say, my first impression is quite positive. I’m using it on an iOS17 device, but it works well.
What doesn't seem to work, is to not show sender images. I switched it of but they still show up in the messages list. And I would prefer lighter headlines in the list views. They are really bold. 😁
Setting names for accounts would be another nice addition. I have mail accounts with very unpleasant login mail addresses. 😉
@schalksernst that’s great to hear!
There’s two switches for contact images: one for Mailboxes and one per Smartbox. It sounds like maybe you’d expect the Mailboxes one to apply globally?
And nicknames for accounts are coming in the next build. Will see what we can do about lighter headlines.
@phill Oh no! Now I feel dumb. Hadn't seen that option for lists. Maybe it was completely covered by the keyboard. Now the lists are just as I liked them to be. Wow. So easy. I like! 😊
@schalksernst ha don’t feel dumb! Always tricky to figure out right way to expose settings. Glad you like 😀
@phill So after day two with it, I think this could become my new mail client to go. I'm sure it gets snappier without the extensive logging.
One thing I'd wish for is a way to define the default sender address for new mail and which address should be used when replying (should be the one the mail was sent to before in most cases).
But again: The UI/UX is great. 😊
@schalksernst that's awesome to hear!
Once we're out of the heavy-handed troubleshooting phase I can dial logging back and things will be a lot more snappy.
Latest build (33) adds default sender option (Settings > Composing). Replies should always default from the account they were received on. Let me know if you're not seeing that.
I've also added account nicknames/descriptions too :-)
@phill There seems to be a problem with special characters (umlauts). And with attachments. They just show as "data".
@schalksernst if you can access the message via the providers interface and click “Show Original / Raw Message” (or something like that) and search for "content-type", what value do you see there? What does “charset” say?
@phill RAW Message shows:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
some lines later:
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
then again later:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
@schalksernst sorry last question: if you search specifically for “text/html” does the content-type for that also say utf-8? is the transfer-encoding also 8bit?
@phill Sorry, completely missed that part.
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
And those missing images and attachments have Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
@schalksernst hmm that is a bit odd, i'd expect that combo to work okay. Let me try replicate my end and if I can't I'll give you another ping.
Thanks!
@phill The raw data is interesting. Haven't looked into it often.
This particular message is sent via googlemail but with own domain and they used Thunderbird as mail client. Attachments are inline PNGs, 2x XLS-files and 1x PDF.
Lovely ingredients for reproducing. 😁
@schalksernst haha I'm used to all sorts of possible combinations now 🥲
(Thanks for the extra info!)
@phill Yay! Finally something useful to have special characters in our alphabet. And if only for debugging purposes. 😁
@schalksernst so after a little digging I’m able to recreate this. There’s a part in the pipeline that is expecting 7bit octets, and it’s getting 8. I haven’t actually seen an 8bit email in the wild before (they’re relatively ‘new’ by email standards), so it’s helpful to know they come from Thunderbird. Thanks for spotting it!
