+ Smart folder in navigation drawer


Very nice. Thank you for this implementation.
But, the Smart Folder is only available 'behind' the accounts expander.
I would prefer to see the Smart Folder always directly above the folder list.

See what you mean but:

- Switching between folders of same account is "near distance"

- Switching from one account to another is "far distance"

- Switching from account to smart folder is more similar to going to another account ("far") than to another folder ("near")

- Finally, if we put smart folder at same level as real folders - going "account to smart folder" and "smart folder to account" would work differently

Perhaps you'd like the whole top panel (with accounts and smart folder) to be "always" expanded?

If so, app settings -> look and feel -> accounts panel -> change "tap to show" to "always visible".

+ New (adaptive) icon on Android 8.0+

Regarding the new (adaptive) icon I'm not sure if one can still see the characteristic envelope clearly enough now.

That's kind of how they're supposed to be - Android dictates the overall shape which can vary a lot.

Trying to fit the envelope into "any" of those shapes - only possible if the envelope was really small. Won't be pretty either.

In my opinion the new icon looks too big for the given frame ("The inner 72 x 72 dp of the icon appears within the masked viewport."): It looks as if it were pressed into a too tight jacket.   8)

Ok, thanks.  99% of my viewing is unread messages from the Smart Folder.

Well, many people wanted to be able to navigate between "real" folders and the smart folder, easily, without having to go up to the app's main screen. This is what it's for.

Will you also be updating the widget icons and the new mail counter?

RE: Will you also be updating the widget icons

Widget icons were updated mmm, about a year ago, artwork by a MobiSystems' designer (same guy who did the new adaptive icon for Android 8.0+).

Re: and the new mail counter?

Which one (where) and why does it need to be updated?

The email counter doesn't really match up with, for example, Nova and TeslaUnread, which don't work on widgets.

Screenshots would be very helpful.

There is no "the" email counter.

There are several:

- On the app's icon?
- In notifications?
- On the app's main screen - list of accounts?
- In message lists in the title bar?
- In message lists in the side panel?
- In message counter widget?
- In message list widget?

Which one did you mean?

If you meant "on the app's icon" and the phone is a Samsung with Android 8.0 - this is addressed in the FAQ near the end.

I'd like the widget counters to look like the app counters that are round and red. See the attached examples. The first screenshot is the AM widget for different email accounts with unread email counter. The second screenshot is the AM app icon with system counter for unread emails for all accounts in the app drawer. I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S9+ on Oreo and using Nova Prime with TeslaUnread.

This is what I have on my Samsung S8 with 8.0.

A pretty good match I'd say (the intensity differs a bit, but it's different in Samsung's 7.0 IIRC).

Please try app settings -> widget -> unread count style -> Samsung.

When I switch it to Samsung TouchWiz, it comes out blue not red.

Blue -> there are unread messages but they're not "new"

Orange -> there are "new" unread messages (you've not opened the respective folders to see what those new messages are)

So it does! I had no idea. Looks better. Thanks
