Check Marks in Messagelist

[Itakfule]

I have disabled Contact Avatar and Chips in the Messagelist. Now there are some Giant Check Marks. What is the meaning if them and can I remove them also?

If you want to perform some action on more than one message at once (delete, mark read, move to a folder, etc.), - you can checkmark them  (long touch on that check-mark for the frist file, and then short touches for the subsequent), and then perform the action.
I might be wrong, but I am not aware of any possibility to disable them.

Many thx. I have used the App Nine before and want a mostly similar look and feel 😀. The only real thing, I miss, is the ability to use S/Mime to sign my Mails.

You're not along thinking the checkmarks are too Humongous and Ugly

Ohhh, i like your App. It's the only one, i have found for IMAP, which can handle Meeting Requests and it has some real unique features. Since im moving from Outlook.com to host my little things myself on my own server, i need some new workflows and apps. with this, AquaMails does a great Job.

Hello,
I am in the same situation.  I can't identify what makes this so obvious for me, but since the recent update to 1.8.1-193 the select check mark has a large void of space all around it now and consumes a large amount of space when the other identifying options are turned off (chips and avatars)

What would be so bad with being able to hide this until you long press and then they show up?  Just feels like a large wasted area on the left side of my view.

Please consider something to hide this check mark, I'm sure there are others who don't realize it but if they were presented with this option would definitely see the benefit.

I have a strange confused feeling like this wasn't a problem until this update took place.

Thank you for the best mobile email application available!

Zucky,

I agree with your post. I am surprised the check boxes can't be hidden or the previous Message List volume of data per screen matched someway in the Message List settings in ver 1.8.

Regards,

Julian

You will find an appropriate option to turn off 'contact images' and/or 'checkboxes' in the next build 1.8.2.205

Wow, looks great! Many thx for this, i love it.

Amazing, works beautifully in the latest release!!

Thank you so much!

I'm going to push the boundaries a bit and ask if there is any plan to allow each account to have their own message list settings.  So my work account can have a different look/feel from my personal account.  I've actually got a few work accounts for different customers so would be nice to have the ability to change the message list and other 'look and feel' type option on a per account basis.

Definitely not a show stopper, this app is still the best I can see for mobile mail management.

Thanks again!

I'm not aware of any plans for a feature like this, besides it's not clear to me what would happen in the smart folder then (when there are messages from multiple accounts).

[Zucky]

As always you make a great point.

Just shooting out an idea here, it could also have it's own settings as well, just like each account.

My original thought was that you could set the message list settings on one account, and if you wanted those same settings on another account, or the smart folder, you could choose it in the message list options to 'use other account message view settings' and choose the other message list settings to use.  That way you tweak the settings in one message list and it would apply to all the others that are 'linked' to that view.

Again, just throwing it out there.

Thank you for a great product.

The actual check mark icons are standard Android Material system icons. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea... The large empty space area around is supposed to make them easy to tap - even for people with fat fingers!

Having said that, I appreciate the feedback, and since we had other complaints about this, I'll see what I can do to adjust the design so you guys like it better.
Thanks!

Re: The large empty space area around is supposed to make them easy to tap - even for people with fat fingers!

Nope.

The size of the tap area does not have to match the visual size of the checkboxes.

It never did, even before, with the checkmarks --  the code always used a separate "value" to check "is the user trying to tap the checkbox", not its visual size, and it still does now.

It's nice that the sizes aren't _too_ different (a big diff might be confusing), but it's not a problem that they aren't exactly the same. People tap "somewhere over there" and not "on that pixel exactly".

What is really is:

The larger white space on the left (and this applies to contact images too) is necessary for the "thread counter", which since 1.8 is positioned on the very left, in that very same white space area that we're talking about.

The thread counter may have up to 2 digits (we cap it at 99, but "10" or "27" are entirely possible).

And then there is same exact amount of white space on the right side of the checkbox / contact image, a different amount would look ugly. Right?
