I would like to customize the Jolla e-mail program in the settings, but I cannot find the corresponding file with the settings. The following problem: I use the IMAP protocol for e-mails. While I can freely define the folders to be used with a number of programs (Evolution, Claws-Mail etc.), this is obviously not provided for with SFOS.
If I send an e-mail with Evolution, for example, the e-mail sent is moved to the “Sent” folder. If I send an e-mail under SFOS, it is moved to the “Sent” folder (=german for sent). This folder does not exist on the mail server, but apparently only on my smartphone.
Is it possible to freely define the storage locations under SFOS and if so, where can I find the configuration file? Only the normal settings such as port number or passwords can be found under advanced settings.
It makes me think that’s local because I have only a few folder (sent, queue trash etc.) on the server and on my smartphone I have considerable more folder - partially with the same name. And the same spelling
IMAP has the concept of ‘special use attributes’, i.e. server-defined markers which folder to use for what.
So, a folder having the \Sent attribute should be used by client software, and it can be called anything, even localized names, and different names by different clients.
If used correctly by clients it will have the same content for all, regardless of the name.
Are you sure what you are seeing are actually different folders, and not the same one by different names?
(Although Sent is a bad example, as IMAP does not send mail and moving mail there is convention, not defined by the standard)
Just to illustrate what happens in practice (ie. dovecot, courier) folders and folder hierarchies are created on server with extensions. So, a subfolder of INBOX call ebay (client side) will be stored (by dovecot) as ‘.INBOX.ebay’ while other ‘higher level’ subfolders may exist (I have ‘.friend’ and ‘.family’ for instance). The ‘subscriptions’ mechanism ( a flat file) sorts it by specifying ‘INBOX ebay’ in a tab delimited file. But, that’s just arcana
Can I set the mail client to show incoming mails in plain text mode as standard?
A lot of incoming mails are heavy formatted by sender (I can’t do anything against that). Such mails occur in tiny letters and looong lines without automatic line break. Even if there’s not so much HTML content in a mail, readability is bad if it is a HTML mail. It’s not sufficient to only not download the images automatically. This helps but is not enough. See image…
And how or where can I define the standard font size?
I know that this is not possible by normal settings, therefore I’m asking for a ‘tweak’ in config/qml files please.
Thanks very much @s_mario ! This works very fine. To be precise, the patch adds an option to open a mail in plain text when long pressing an e- mail on the list. The mail view inside Mail app itself is not affected.
But I’ve got the feeling, that Patch Manager slows down the device a little! Is this normal?
edit:
Isn’t there any option to set Plain Text as default in Mail app?
The HTML view as default is painful on the tiny phone display and, additionally, there is a bug at magnifying text with 2 finger gestue: Not only the text but also the title bar magnifies until it covers the whole screen. Has anyone else also seen this?
PM works by intercepting syscalls, and for all applications. For any file any application opens, PM gets asked if a patched version exists. This is kinda inefficient, and not for free.
But it gives patch authors the freedom to patch basically any file on the system.
If you’re brave enough you can use the .patch file that’s at the core of each patchmanager patch and apply it to the files in question directly (after backing them up of course).
