Version 1.9.0-306-dev - "work in progress", not in Google Play

[Kostya Vasilyev]

In AquaMail exchange accounts (please see screenshot), "technical folders" like "draft", "sent", etc. are not updatable like in Imap (no available settings in AquaMail - the "wheel" don't lead to options). Do you consider removing the "Wheel" in that case, or add a specific message when the Wheel is tapped ("No options; Exchange acccounts" for example)?

Exchange always "knows" what those folders are -- with IMAP they can vary. Therefore, there'd be no sense trying to "remap" them.

There is an options window (gears icon) -- the color indicator's color. Oh when the app's setting for "color indicators" is off, then the dialogs are empty. OK, I'll fix that.

Re: Samsung S6, back key, menu

I'll take a look. The menu is our own implementation now.

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Encountered on S6 edge phone (Android 6.0.1) with latest SwiftKey

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new message. Keyboard will open automatically.
2. Open menu from three dots icon. Menu will open behind the keyboard.
3. Push back button

This is pretty bad, but even worse is that I'm unable to reproduce - also Samsung S6 Edge, also 6.0.1, also SwiftKey or Samsung Keyboard.

What's the trick?

Build 304 above: the "gear" will still be there (consistency), but the dialog will have a special message.

Same can happen in an IMAP account that has no server IDLE (push) capability (and app's "color labels" setting off).

Thank you.

Weird. I now understand, that the menu should show up in front of the keyboard and not behind. After reading your post I tried to do some investigation on user's side:
While testing the battery got low and the device was shut down. After charging and launching the device the issue was gone. For some minutes... because:


So I tried to reproduce it and I could reproduce it:
I first disabled the Floating Action Button, then the issue appears (see steps I mentioned earlier). See screenshots


But I was not able to get rid of it anymore , I tried
- enabling Floating Action Button
- then closing/killing AquaMail
- empty cache of AquaMail
- reboot the device


No success until now

I tried it with the FAB disabled, no luck. Also an S6 (Edge), 6.0.1, both Swift and Samsung keyboards.

And yes, the menu's drop-down window is definitely supposed to be in front of the keyboard.

Re: Translation of "Color: current message" (Message list)

Thanks!

Some hours later. Finally I found out what happened:
If you see my screenshots above, you will find a grey line on the left edge in the upper part. This is the trigger zone for this sidebar app: Swiftly Switch (fine app btw)


This app has the permission to use display overlay - and there is an option which was enabled: "Avoid Keyboard" in order to not interfere with the keyboard - see screenshot below. As result the app tries to always set the keyboard on top of all things on the display. So menu in AquaMail was hidden behind the keyboard.


After restarting my phone, Swiftly Switch did not launch immediately. It seemed that the issue in AquaMail was gone. Just when I was playing around with the FAB, Swiftly Switch must have been started in background and caused the issue again.


Disabling the option mentioned above did it.


Sorry for wasting your time @Kostya and @Paris_Geek. But it was important for me to read that you could not reproduce the problem. This is why I investigated further. Thank you both!

Wasting my time? Not at all.

This did not happen prior to the recent "nav bar over toolbar" update, and it important to get fixed in Aqua Mail.

I do have an idea and will post a new build later today.

@nica, can you please also check the "from which account - drop down list" in the action bar? If your list of accounts is short, please rotate the phone to landscape.

[nica]

@Kostya  Thank you.

Tested 'from which account". Same behavior depending on the option "Avoid keyboard" in Swiftly Switch.

[Kostya Vasilyev]

@nica

Can you please try build 306, linked above?

[nica]

Tested build -306. Same behavior as in -305.

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Re: Tested build -306. Same behavior as in -305.

I installed this "Swiftly Switch" and --

- The issue is present in current Aqua Mail
- The issue is present in old versions of Aqua Mail -- before the "nav drawer over action bar" change -- I previously thought that older Aqua Mail versions were fine
- In Gmail app
- In Contacts app.

And so this is not an Aqua Mail issue, it's "just how this swift switcher app is".

@Kostya
Thank you for investigating!
