General Discussion / Re: Outlook/Hotmail Auth issue
« Last post by Martin - Aqua Mail Support on March 17, 2026, 12:23:34 pm »Hello,
After investigating, this appears to be an issue on Microsoft’s side that started yesterday and is still not fully resolved. It is currently affecting many users and different mail clients, not just Aqua Mail.
The repeated authentication loop you are seeing is consistent with this Microsoft sign-in problem. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can fix from the Aqua Mail side at the moment.
For now, the best option is to wait and try again later while we continue to monitor the situation. We also recommend keeping an eye on Microsoft’s service status, as the login flow should start working normally again once they resolve the issue on their side.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I think the app needs an update.

General Discussion / Outlook/Hotmail Auth issue
« Last post by chris72arg on March 14, 2026, 01:18:50 am »Hello. I use Aquamail (v1.57.1-604) on my Android phone. I changed my password on live.com, and when I try to validate the account again in the app, I always get the same error (OAuth2). In the account settings app (Hotmail), it opens Firefox (or Chrome), live.com asks for my fingerprint, returns to the app, repeats the process of opening the browser, asking for my fingerprint, and finally the app gives an OAuth2 error ("response something strange"). live.com works perfectly in the browser, and this happens with both Firefox and Chrome. I deleted the @hotmail account in the app, recreated it (as a regular email by entering the email and password), and I also tried creating it with the Hotmail account option, and the same thing happens; it fails validation. The browser on live.com sometimes displays the message "AADSTS900561: The endpoint only accepts POST requests. Received a GET request." Any suggestions? Thanks

General Discussion / Explanation of connections Aqua makes and why there isn't a way to disable them?
« Last post by TheRC on March 04, 2026, 10:05:03 pm »Recently started running an app that shows the connections being made and discovered all the ones Aqua is making just from opening the app.
I understand analytics and all, but I have the option turned off for usage statistics/crash reports.
20+ connections just seems excessive and I really wish they could be disabled without me having to block them with the hosts file (disabled the block to get the screenshots).
I'm guessing this is all "allowed" under 9.3 in the Privacy Policy.

General Discussion / Better to-line autofill
« Last post by marklan on February 25, 2026, 04:51:14 am »I'm generally happy with aquamail, having switched over from Outlook, and Yahoo mail. But there is one thing I wish Aqua-mail would do better: Fill in recipients on the to-line. MS Outlook had a feature I really liked: Alt-K would fill in possible recipients from email addresses in your inbox and address book. (I liked this implementation a lot.) It would put candidates in a drop down box...
Oh, and if you wanted to try something, Alt-K would try its best to expand what you typed into an email address, based on your inbox, the system address book, etc.
There doesn't seem to be a way to get aqua-mail (that I have found, at least) to fill in a more general list of possible recipients.
Please let me know if I'm just missing it.
Thanks

General Discussion / Slow/No notification of new email across all mailboxes
« Last post by AquaMailDC on February 19, 2026, 03:33:46 pm »Not quite sure what the cause of this is, but it now seems that I get no new email notification dot or mailbox refresh until I bring the mailbox into focus from the background.
Running the very latest versions of everything on a Pixel 8 Pro....Android 16 on latest security updates, play updates etc.
Everything was running perfect until I had to wipe my 'phone (rookie mistake left my phone unusable). I wiped and recovered from backup over the wkend of 7/8th Feb. I {think} everything was working fine after the recovery, but I cannot be 100%
What I am now noticing these past few days is that I am getting no notifications of new email on any of the three mailboxes that I am running in AM Pro. If I pick the app up from the background whichever mailbox I am in will check for new mail and sync fine, but I have to pick the app up from the background (swipe up and select, or click the AM icon). If I click the hamburger (top left), it will show the old status of unread emails on the other mailboxes, but if I select one of the other two mailboxes it will update and sync.
I have checked all of the power settings for the app, background battery saver etc. (I have always set both AM and Signal to disregard all battery saving behaviour as I always want IM and email to notify ASAP). I have also cleared the cache on AM as well as checked rookie mistakes like notifications being switched off for the AM app.
I can confirm that battery settings for AM mirror Signal and Signal is sending notifications without issue.
The three mailboxes that I sync are: one Hotmail account, one Outlook account and one O365 Exchange work account - they are all behaving in the same way.
I am not sure if its since the wipe and recover from Google backup/AM backup or if its the latest AM update that installed on 13th Feb 1.57.1-604
Does anyone have the same issue? Fixes?
Many thanks
Note: Also posted this to bugs...couldn't see a way of removing the thread from there. Apologies

How do I... / Re: Getting an AquaMail subscription for a totally de-Googled device?
« Last post by AquaMailDC on February 18, 2026, 03:30:44 pm »I think that AM requires Google Play Store unfortunately.
If you have/buy a Google Pixel you could run Grapheneos and run Google Play Store/Services sandboxed and get AM to run that way I believe
