But sadly, it is already going down hill, especially with the latest version.

The new version with new design is a big step forward. There have been always people who complained about the old-fashioned UI.

And there are not too much changes (of course there could be some more improvememts - there are threads about it in this forum).
Many of the threads prefer the older version. They are the reason that Aquamail got to be this successful. One of its hallmarks was its customizability and Kostya response to users. Where can I get versions 1.6 without their becoming updated by Google play.

New isn't always better.

I like to keep an open mind. Perhaps someone can list the advantages and disadvantages of the new ui? That way we can make a more informed opinion.

One item I miss is the ability to customize what tools /icons are on the smart folder message list toolbar. Is that still possible? How?

Qu'est ce que c'est le "FAB" ?

"FAB" is the "Floating Action Button" which appears on the lower right corner.

I'm one of the earliest fans of Kostya and Aquamail and I'm glad he made some money off it. But sadly, it is already going down hill, especially with the latest version.
Too bad..... 😧
I take back what I said. By installing tab, etc. as recommended by Paris Geek I am now using the latest version and happy with it. Thank you PG.

Wish it was possible to stop the embedded Google analytics and similar. 😟

(keeping my older version backups for now)

Mobisystems is reputable. I hope the deal was good for Kostya. As for us, it's my experience that lager companies tend to mess up excellent apps acquired from brilliant individuals. I hope I will be proven wrong. Until further notice, I will keep the latest version signed by Kostya.

Mobisystems is reputable.

Mobisystems have a reputation of making you pay for a product, then charging you extra to make it functional!

There was an update in the meantime. You can disable "(Flurry) Analytics" in the settings now:

-> Menu -> Settings -> Send usage statistics -> uncheck 'Send usage statistics'

Congratulations Kostya...I am a long-time user of Aqua Mail and I congratulate you for developing and maintaining a very impressive email app. I hope you have been well rewarded for your work and care. It's always a little sad when a creator is separated - even a little - from their project but it's heartening to learn you will still be involved for a bit at least.
Thanks for Aqua Mail: it makes using a smartphone - especially for work - a much more pleasant and much easier task. And all the very best for your future. I look forward to other projects you may be involved in.

Костя, спасибо за Вашу разработку. Я долго уже пользую приложение для личной почты и жене его тоже купил. С некоторых пор подключил также рабочий почтовый аккаунт. Поэтому важный вопрос— есть ли у нового владельца намерение чрезмерно "засекьюрить" приложение, типа шифровать кусок памяти тел, выделенной под почту, или дополнительно паролить? Я раньше пытался для рабочей почты пробовать другие приложения, типа Microsoft outlook и Nine, но все они норовили запаролить либо весь телефон, либо просмотр сообщений. Я был очень рад, что Ваше приложение никаких заморочек не имеет. Поэтому хотелось бы знать какие на это планы, чтобы ненароком не обновить в случае чего. Спасибо.

Capybsrus, this is international forum, so English please. I do understand and Kostya does - but there are a lot of others, who doesn't. Please respect and them.

Regards.

@capybsrus

Пока что таких планов нет, и отсутствие обязательного шифрования, а тем более полномочий по стиранию данных на устройстве -- пока что воспринимается пользователями как достоинство а не недостаток.

We don't currently have plans for mandatory encryption or the "erase device data" feature, and so far - I believe our users see this as a advantage not a drawback.
