after configuring smtp.openmailbox.org (which has some hurdles - like login name must be [email protected] and sender name must match it exactly, no shortcuts, aliases etc) it mostly works.

However - in 1 of perhaps 5 cases I get this error:

"Authentification failed. Please check your username and password!"

"try again" usually works.

The errors are just too frequent to think it is a random failure, already had over 20 in 3 days. Never had this type of failure while using google smtp when used in similar conditions.

The network connection is sometimes extremely slow - but that should not cause above error message?

Tested on a Moto G with freshly updated system.

right now it say "Files", could be file type and name, possibly date of the file.

Please update the Swedish localization for the next release. I have finished the translation on Transifex.

Hi,

when sharing images (from gallery or file manager) Blitzmail isn't shown in the list of choices to share (Motorola G).

Is it an error or simply missing functionality?

It would be really nice to have.

Blitzmail shows me that two mails are waiting to be send. But I see no chance to inspect their contents nor to delete them. So they stay here until forever (or until I delete data of BlitzMail).

I noticed the waiting mails after an upgrade cause blitzmail told me it could not find the ![attachments.]

Hi,

It would be great if I could maintain two different recipient mail addresses. One for sharing a link and one for receiving the notes. I could better organize with these two separated. And it would be possible to use a service like emailthis.me for links and still use the note feature.

Best regards,
Florian

The AsyncTask sometimes gets killed by the system after calling finish() in SendActivity (especially in low-memory situations). This results in a message that is not send and a notification without action that will never go away.

Solution: Start a Service that handles sending mails. Use a foreground service with ongoing notification.

BlitzMail creates two icons in the launcher. BlitzNote to send notes and BlitzMail to configure the app.
I always get confused to which one to click when I want to send a note :(. It also wastes space (some launchers cannot hide/manage icons).

I propose removing the settings icon and instead add a settings button in the NoteActivity dialog.

I also propose opening the settings automatically if the server isn't configured, to avoid confusion.

My first idea was to replace the SAVE button with a CONFIG button. But to be less disruptive I think the title bar is a good place:

If that is okay I will create a pull request with the small change.

PS: In the screenshot I accidentally used string.app_name instead of string.note_name for title, I would fix that.

Tried to email a few pictures in short succession while in airplane mode which failed with the message can't contact smtp server.

Disabled airplane mode and waited for a minute to see if it would retry automatically - it did not.

Hit try again in the notification - it is displaying "sending please wait" with the progress bar since 2 hours and nothing is sent.

This happens after the latest update from f-droid.

I have notifications for sent email enabled - when the email is sent it shows an error and a menu send again/dismiss etc.

As a feature wish.. an option to have the email sent notification transient, disappear without further user action after eg 1 minute.

When you have shared a lot of files using thr wonderful Blitzmail it's hard to gind them in your mailfolder because alle subject header show the same (non-linformation: 1 file shared with Blitzmail.

So I would like to have an option in settings to allow Blitzmail to create a subject including the filename like [Blitzmail] name_of_transmittted_file

This would help a lot. I prefer an option for that because not everybody would like to have this info in metadata or server logs...

Hi!

Can you add feature for several subject prefixes?

Like in AutoShare app. Now i use it, but it's need input account details for each prefix template.

Currently you can hit 'Send Mail' in BlitzNote and get an empty email.

I have a mail account at mailbox.org. When I am using BlitzMail on my mobile connection (as opposed to my home wlan), I always get the following error message:

Der Server antwortete mit folgendem Fehlder: Bitte überprüfen Sie die SMTP-Einstellungen. 501 Syntax: HELO hostname

Sending mail via k-9 works with the same account on any connection.

This is on version 0.6

Sometimes I have things in the clipboard, which I somehow didn't share when I should have. Bringing up the BlitzNote dialog, I can long-press the input-line and tap paste.

Though it would be very convenient if there was a button which would do that paste for me, and I'd just tap that and then send.

Alternatively it could automatically paste anything in the clipboard into the input-line, keeping it selected so it can be easily overwritten.

I installed BlitzMail from F-Droid.

I opened BlitzMail, and got a screen with title bar "<- BlitzMail" where I entered all configuration (Sending, Mail Server Settings, Interface).

I see only one menu item: the backward key on the title bar, which closes BlitzMail.
How do I retrieve or write an new Email?

BlitzMail has two anti-features on F-Droid:

• KnownVuln
• DisabledAlgorithm

Currently, pressing the back button does nothing in BlitzNote.

I got error message with reason: helo/hostname mismatch. I was looking to the logs and found the MTA helo: "android.com", which is wrong in any case. Best way should be the name of IP.

Hi,

I have encountered the following problem:

• go offline
• send blitzmail #1
• go online
• send blitzmail #2

blitzmail #2 is immediately delivered, while blitzmail #1 still did not arrive. The notification that would allow me to resend it is gone after sending blitzmail #2

Next I tried

• go offline
• send blitzmail #3 (fails with notification)
• go online
• go to notification - try again
• blitzmail #3 is delivered while blitzmail # 1 is still in nirvana

When sharing links from Firefox via longpress menu the subject of the generated email is empty. Should inlcude the link text if known and/or url.

Hi Torsten,

I today noticed a little error in BlitzMail that I want to report.

When there is currently no internet connection BlitzMail will present a dialogue where you can choose to retry. When putting new message into this "queue" older messages get lost.

Or put differently: when sending a new not the still waiting to be sent message is discarded.

Greetings and thanks for this otherwise great time safer Felix

Would be great if it would he possible to change the default subject/body.

I just discovered BlitzMail (version 0.2 from f-droid.org) and I like it - it is quite useful in some cases. A minor problem though: it does not set the Date: and From: headers in the messages that are sent. It is usually not a problem but it could potentially trigger antispam filters. This should be a relatively easy fix.

Hello, I'm Harry. I think having a privacy policy statement will be a good thing for your project seeing it kind of have functionalities that may lead to data collection on your end or not. It's a good end users are made aware of the safety of their privacy. I could draft a privacy policy statement if you wish. It's my way of contributing to open source projects.

It would be neat if the Date header was stamped onto a mail before trying to send it. That way, a mail which ends up being queued for sending later would still have the date of when it was actually create -- when I actually made the note.

It looks like we could just put the new Date() into the jsonobject-mail here:

and then setting that into the mimemessage here:

I'm have very little experience with android and java/kotlin. What would be the pattern to serialize the Date() object into a jsonobject (internally a string?) and back? It seems that would be necessary.

Perhaps a bug, perhaps not. To reproduce:

1. Write a note when offline. App says "No connection. Will be sent when a connection becomes available"
2. Go back online
3. Mail not sent! Need to "wake up" the app by tapping its icon

I have ensured app has (1) all permissions, (2) all notifications enabled, (3) is battery-unoptimized. Any ideas? From my limited knowledge of Android, seems like the app might need a permanent drawer notification to do this kind of background action, no?

In any case, this is still a great little app. Thanks @grote for your work.

Android 8. Current F-Droid version.

"permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.downloads.DownloadStorageProvider ...."

happens when "sharing" from builtin "Downloads" app 5.0.2-1 on a Moto G, 1. gen.. OS Monitor calls it "android.process.media"

It would be nice to have a few instances of it with different configurations on the same device. How would I do it?

Hi,
I am using BlitzMail 0.7.1 from F-Droid with the same email provider (gmx) since few years ago. No issue till few months ago.
Now sometimes I got the error above and usually emails are sent even if the error appears, SMTP setting (like server, port; authentication, etc) seems OK as set up on Thunderbird or K-9 Mail

The server returned the following error. Please check your SMTP settings.
IOexception while sending message
Cause: No MimeBodyPart content

It would be useful to add a possibility to encrypt/sign notes/messages uppon sending using a predefined public key. BlitzMail could use OpenKeychain for that.

Cool app, thanks!

I have a SMTP server that receives encrypted auth by self signed SSL. BlitzMail fails to send with the java error java.security.cert.CertPathValidator

Make sure there is no line break in the mail subject

When using Blitzmail with an SMTP-Server which has an self-signed TLS-Certificate, it responds with an error:
"Could not convert socket to TLS java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found."

Anything we can do about this?

Hello,

This may not be an issue for BlitzMail at all but I wanted to report it anyway: I have the latest Blitzmail installed from f-droid and everything works fine until I start Debian via debian-kit [1]. Then, I'll get the error "Check SMTP settings: error 535 Authentication required".

So far, I only managed to fix this with a reboot until the next launch of debian-kit.

So, it is obviously something what debian-kit does that stops Blitzmail from working. But as other mail sending apps (e.g. K9) continue to work, I thought it may be something that can be solved in Blitzmail.

Let me know if you need any further details and also if you have some hints for me to explain the problem better to the Debian-kit developer.

Thanks!

Guido

When I tried to setup a Tasker 'Compose Email' task, BlitzMail was failing where other e-mail applications (K-9 for example) were not.

The task was to send an email with a bit of text for the subject and body and nothing else (so no attachments). When the task executed, BlitzMail would crash and I would be prompted to re-open it. However irregardless of if I did reopen it or not, a 'Sending BlitzMail' notification would appear. The email is never sent and the notification does not disappear (running the task again adds another similar notification).

I got a workaround working by creating a custom Intent task in Tasker and using text/plain as the MIME type - the email sends as expected using this method. If I change the MIME type to anything besides 'text/plain', it crashes in a similar manner to before so I suspect that might have something to do with it.

If this sounds like it's more on Tasker's end, feel free to close the issue and I can ping the developer.

For anyone stumbling upon this with a similar problem, the solution I found was:
A1: Send Intent [ Action:android.intent.action.SEND Cat:Default Mime Type:text/plain Data: Extra:android.intent.extra.SUBJECT:Test Extra:android.intent.extra.TEXT:Test Extra: Package: Class: Target:Activity ]

Hey!.

I used to share via Inbox or Gmail, now I've started using your app. It looks great!

However, when I share a tweet, with Inbox or gmail I would get a subject saying "Tweet from xxx", and a body with the full tweet. With BlitzMail body and subject are identical and are just "Check xxx's tweet: URL".

Would it be possible to make subject and body more in line with the tweet?.

Cheers, mate!
