Legit thank you for posting this, I thought I was going insane today.

Per the article they're hoping by November

Dude I've been so confused and thinking the same thing!

And here I thought my device had suddenly ran out of ram or one of my apps started having major memory leaks.

You're supporting a good company that will hopefully pave the way later on for a broader customer base.

Yeah but when will the fix hit a graphene os release

I almost regret not going for the pixel 10 instead of fairphone 6, but it's fine. We'll get there too.

Have you considered contacting FairEmail Support about your issue? Perhaps, the developer can help.

IMAP on desktop Thunderbird works. Or used to, you can never know these days.

For any boot loop related issues on Lineage, flashing the boot partition with the boot.img provided by Lineage for your system will almost always fix the problem (as you found out just now). If not, then re-doing all the steps in the installation guide for your device should do the trick. I was also getting a bootloop on my rooted phone, but I was running Kitsune Magisk. Switching to regular Magisk did not cause any bootloops. Not sure what caused the bootloop considering I was running Kitsune just fine for a couple months until the bootloop happened. Maybe some system update screwed things up?

Aah thanks for clarifying that! I somehow missed that.

You could try your luck with a feature request in Thunderbird but the reality is that's probably not something most people want. Hardware manufacturers have successfully made on-device storage wildly expensive.

K9 on Android is now Thunderbird for Android. Aside from the older app versions, of course.

Unsure about the pop3 recommendation (never saves on server you just download it and it’s gone from there but I probably missed something)

Covered:

What you want is POP3, BUT you’ll need ot make sure there’s a setting to leave email on the server.

I am speaking as someone who did helpdesk in the 1990s. :)

(sorry mostly for op but wanted to add to this comment) While I'm not much into email structure for imap tech, that does appear to be my experience. You can pull what it has but also need to make sure your saved is not more than what is allowed by provider. Full email does happen.

Unsure about the pop3 recommendation (never saves on server you just download it and it's gone from there but I probably missed something) but the forever for your syncing off IMAP was because you must have tons of shit in your email. Between the connection of your phone to internet vs provider it just took that long

If you let it properly sync once it'll probably be fine going forward. Just let it sync at the start of an evening or before a movie sort of thing and it'll catch up. But given what you said I'd do it on WiFi cause mobile data can be pricey is all. Though I get tons of data on my plan and rarely use it, good to know when you're using it elsewhere. Also most phones let you get an idea of mobile data vs WiFi to keep track if you're worried (android myself but mostly under settings, network .... Then somewhere underneath will let you know if you're getting too high)

Though guess if issue is your phone may not have space for it all, gotta work with that first. Can't suggest much than delete stuff you don't need. Sort of your own thing there unfortunately, rather than a strict suggestion.

Just figured I'd cover most bases for this issue. Also I was never paid well for tech support glad not my thing now but I so like attempting to help out.

I don't think TB for Android can survive this. TB for PC works. It's able to deal with all my email dating back to 2006.

giving file managers access to some directories that are normally not accessible to apps

That's something that might interest me, thanks!

Soon:

I don't know about Tbird on Android, but I can tell you: For a good while now, almost everything uses IMAP for email, which is generally better these days because it leaves everything on the server, and that's what most people want.

What you want is POP3, BUT you'll need ot make sure there's a setting to leave email on the server.

IMAP is designed to use email left on the server. POP3 is used to download (and remove) email from the server. But you want to also leave it on the server. But you want to use POP3 because it's designed to download all your email.

Also

• giving file managers access to some directories that are normally not accessible to apps
• detecting app crashes and getring full error message of what caused it
• setting a language for a specific app (different from system language). Useful when app forces a shitty machine translation

• Getting a proper error message when apk install fails,
• installing apps designed for older Android versions,
• downgrading to older app release
• "Freezing" apps that i currently don't use

They have a bulk export function, I did that. If you code you could probably do something with it to import somewhere else.

Never had your specific use case, but heard good things about K9 Mail?

I actually patched it on another phone. Does host machine make difference on how Magisk patched the boot.img?

Most phones have an A and B slot partitions. This makes OTA updates possible. Say your phone is running on A slot boot/recovery/rom partitions, when you do an update it writes the new firmware to the B slot, once it's determined that it was successful it reboots the phone and swaps the active slot to B and boots up. Next update would write to slot A. You can check the active slot by doing

fastboot getvar current-slot

Then swap the active slot by doing

fastboot set_active a

(or b, whichever isn't active)
