I recently came to know about Aquamail and have been using it from the past one month. I bought the Pro version during the Christmas Sale and have been extremely happy with my purchase. After tinkering the app to my states, I have few questions. I will be thankful if anyone can help
1) How to space out the message list a bit more? Even with “Slim Padding” option unchecked, the message list still appears dense for me. I am trying to achieve Gmail level spacing. Any option to do that?
2) I use “Message Content Preview” with 1 line of content. I can see options to make Sender and Subject appear in Bold letters. Is there an option to apply Bold letters to “1 line of content” as well?
3) Today, I discovered the option “Indent Message Previews” and I like how it makes the list look clean. How to create more spacing between the Color Chip and the message in the “Message List”?
4) I couldn’t find Fingerprint option in the Security settings. Does it have it? If not, any chances of it being implemented
5) How do I Backup my Settings? Does Account Backup also backup the App Settings?
Please help if you can

1- No other option than what you have discovered (slim and normal).
One more idea:
You can play with the font size (there are two levels up and two levels down from the default one, total of 5). That would change the overall appearance, including the apparent (relative to the font size) spacing.

Please see what I have written long time ago regarding settings/message lists (you'll find plenty of examples). There are more settings now, and the app has greatly improved since then.

One of the strengths of Aquamail is its almost infinite configurability.
The reason I like it is that I don't need to tweak much in the myriads of settings, and it works well. And I can recommend it to my friends who just want to install it and to have it working well.

Dear All,
I am a major fan of Aqua Mail, it's a great app and I have been using it for at least a few years. It's because of apps like this that I am sometimes able to show iPhone users what they are missing. For the money, the updates and work that seems to be put into the product by the developer(s) cannot be criticised.
The latest update, 1.8, in many ways, looks great. But, with most software upgrades, I am normally grateful that it is possible to recreate the way things looked before, even if that means the user might be missing a few of the benefits of the upgrade by doing so. Certainly, what you could do or set up before is, by convention, usually possible with an upgrade, before it is considered ready for release, because an upgrade is the sum of the past plus the new stuff.
I run the Aqua Mail app on two Xperia Z2s, one just on Wi-Fi and the other as my day to day mobile, so, often, when upgrades happen, I can compare the old to the new directly.
When 1.8 landed on my day to day phone, immediately, I had to make quite a few changes to try to get back to something similar to my old Message List view - the two first lines in Message List had been reversed from my previous settings, for example. Most settings I could set as before, because they appear extremely similar, but, while in the older version, with the fonts set to normal and first line email sender, second line subject and third line being one line of preview and my device screen zoom (volume down) at its lowest, I could get say 14 or 15 messages on the screen (with slim padding); with the new version and similar settings, I could see only about 9 messages. I tried altering the fonts to one level lower, but it doesn't really help much. The conclusion is that the way the Message List view is portrayed on the phone screen is not the same in this version (1.8) as before for the same settings and, for my personal Message List view, there are no settings that replicate the Message List view of the previous release.
I think this may be because the box to the left of messages seems to require more vertical space (above and below) than the tick in the previous version did and that the slim padding setting in 1.8 is much less aggressive, if not inactive. Are those the two reasons why I am getting fewer message on the same screen, or is there some other reason?
I have also noticed that the box to the left of messages is noticeably wider and so I see one word or so less of the first line of my emails seen as message preview on the third line, there being less space available.
I am so used to being able to see 15 messages rather than 9 or so, that I feel a real reduction in facility and so I have gone back to the previous version - which I hope I mentioned I think is excellent.
Please may I ask if there is perhaps someway to get the 1.8 version to display as much information in Message List as the 1.7 version does now, that I have been unable to determine? If anyone has any ideas, thank you in advance for your thoughts and help on this.
If nothing can be done now, may I respectfully ask the developers to consider that, at least for me, version 1.8 is not as good as 1.7, because I can't get as many messages onto my screen at the same time? Please may I respectfully ask you to have a think about how you might be able to remedy this issue in version 1.81, I would be grateful.
Thank you for your time on this, please forgive me if I haven't posted correctly (it is the first time) or have missed previously posted information (I have searched) and regards,
Julian
