Version 1.6.4-dev1.3 - "work in progress" - Google Play "beta"

Re: Android 7

Yes, Android 7 is treated as a smart watch, because of its notification enhancements (each message gets its own action buttons), but maybe it should not be because of a certain bug which I'd reported and which Google has no intention of fixing...

...in other words, I'll need to take a look.

Re: Yes, Android 7 is treated as a smart watch

Sorry I'm unable to reproduce this, in the emulator. My Nexus 5X has not updated yet, I will take a look again when it does.

Meanwhile, I'll make the "reply" optional (by adding an option just like for the other actions).

Thanks for looking into it. I miss the "move to spam" button Let me know if I can test something for you.

I cannot get the push feature to work at all. 

I noticed just today that you introduced the push for exchange feature, something I've really been looking forward to in a beta test.  So I went ahead and upgraded to the Aqua Mail pro version (long overdue - AM is the best email client out there) and then downloaded the beta app from Google Play.  But I still cannot get the Exchange account to push emails.  I turned off the scheduled sync, and turned on the "enable Push mail, instant message delivery" under the "Mail, receiving tab".  I checked off the "Push mail" box in "Account options".  But nothing is happening.  I also checked that the Google Play Services function is on.  I've tried other combinations, but can't figure out what could be controlling the feature.

I must be missing something.  But what?  I get the feeling I either have something off that I should have on, or the reverse.  I have Android 5.0.1 on my Samsung S4 (which I am stuck with until the new, new Note 7 is released and I get it back). 

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Thanks, checking the folder option for push email worked!  I didn't need to download the apk file.

FYI, I had already checked boxes in two other locations for push email:  Under general Settings, "Mail, receiving" as well as after long pressing the Account and then under options.  I had missed the third one under folders - I was used to using that tab only to change the colors for the folders in the view.  I should have checked the Folders tab first.

Thanks again for your help.

The one under folders is enabled by default, but I suppose it may not be if you upgrade -- since the older versions did not have push for Exchange accounts at all. This must be the explanation for why you needed to go in and enable it at the folder level.

One word of caution -- you will want to re-enable the "Scheduled sync" setting, this will serve two purposes:

1 - It will "get" the folders which don't have push enabled (normally you'll only have push mail enabled for your most important folders)

The app is has logic to skip "push enabled" folders when it does it scheduled sync, btw.

2 - It will act as a watchdog for push mail code (just in case...)

Kostya,
a) I am confused: I thought that scheduled sync would sync the folders no matter what, and that's why your 2nd statement above.
But if the scheduled sync skips "push enabled" folders, how does it act as a watchdog for push?

b) I understand that you wrote this about PUSH for Exchange.
Does Push for IMAP also skip those folders that are push-enabled?

c) I have seen that in Motorola (Droid Razr M on 4.1.2) stock e-mail app, when PUSH is enabled, does not seem to catch the change in the status of the message (e.g. when it is read).
I've never tested how Aquamail (IMAP PUSH) behaves in that regard. If only PUSH was enabled and no scheduled syncing, would it notice the message status change?
In other words, is it a limitation of the Push protocol, or rather the limitation of its particular implementation?

[Kostya Vasilyev]

@StR:

Confusion is my middle name

- Scheduled sync "knows" when a folder is push enabled and is up to date -- "everything's working as intended" -- and will skip those.

This applies to both IMAP and Exchange, even though the implementations are entirely different.

- AquaMail's push does notice message status changes and also deletions. Both IMAP and Exchange allow this (just as long as the developer is willing...)

[StR]

Thank you for the explanation. All clear now.
