More system email setting and interface elements

Feature Requests
1

Email runs super smooth but in use there are some settings and interface features which could help further. It would be great to add more settings to:

  • The “Sort by: …” could be a setting that persists between reboots (also discussed here)
  • It would be great to configure which folder the sent messages are stored
  • To copy message Subject -field
  • Set font size for message body
  • Search could be set to exclude deleted messages

Small issue with animation: when writing new mails the + icon is for adding more recipients but after opening the “three dots” -menu, there is an slide animation which opens a view where + icon is for attachments (Using the same icon for to different functions is confusing, the animation ties the icons).

The navigation between folders could be clarified. Currently I have to navigate back up to the previous folder for a u-turn to get around (for example FileBrowser feels more present). Navigation has been discussed before.

Small issue with “three dots” getting mixed with message body: An issue present in dark ambiences which do not have a gradient background (e.g. Kaamos black or Fire). When writing new mail I’d benefit from an interface element which shows the “three dots” -menu does not interfere with the message body alignment (perhaps a gray semi transparent bubble around the dots?). Currently I don’t always know where the message body is.

It took a while to understand that the settings for the email client are in the are in the Accounts of the device general settings (perhaps there could be a link to those in the application?).

new version of gpg would be helpful. i know there is a license problem but if splitting the gpg part into an own part it could be replaced by a community gpg version.

Dark mode on html emails would also be nice (and maybe an option text-only rendering).

Did you try the Email Darker HTML patch? It might help for now.

In addition, I’ve noticedn that in JP26 v5.2, there is no space between email account icons. Ideally, I would like to be able to reorder email accounts in the initial pages of the email app.

The email content font is very small when viewing html emails, I have changed ./.cache/com.jolla/email/.mozilla/prefs.js :

from

user_pref("layout.css.devPixelsPerPx", "2");

to

user_pref("layout.css.devPixelsPerPx", "2.5");

Yes, I would also like to have dark mode in html emails.

This here!!!

Since years…

I guess it is possible by re-ordering the mail database with some index values used as foreign keys (but never got to it, lazyness :wink:).
