Contact names

[fmellaerts]

Hi,

I'm trying Aqua Mail, and just can say that it is simply the best!
But, I'm using an LG h500 with Android 5.0.1 (Rooted) and the setting Contacts/Replace contact names does not work.
If I enable or disable it, the contact names are always shown from the email, and not from my contact list.
Do I forget something? If this is solved, I will buy the app.

Thanks,

Freddy Mellaerts

Do you consider to add an option to replace the contact names in the Mesage List (like K9)?
Thanks.

Yes, I have it in enormous to-do, but keep having trouble getting to it.

There is always something Contacts related that keeps coming up, and I keep having to make changes (and implementing this new feature in more or less same code would be messy).

Now in 1.6.1 -- there are some other Contacts related changes and if there are issues (once it's release) I will need to narrow things down, as part of troubleshooting. Having two changes in one piece of code would make it more difficult.

On the other hand, it should not make things slower -- contact queries run on their own thread.

On the third hand (haha), I've seen debug logs from a few users where querying Contacts takes up to 100 times longer than it should and  does on any of my phones (100 seconds vs. 100 milli-seconds)...

... so this area is prone to weird mysterious issues (the documentation makes it seem so simple...)
