Bug reports / Re: Gravatar Icons

« Last post by Boothy on January 27, 2026, 01:56:00 pm »

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the update.

I've opened Aqua Mail (version 1.56.0-589, originally Pro) on my Google Pixel 6 (android 16), & Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (android 10), but no external contact images are displayed other than the ones I have personally attached to my own contacts.

I've cleared cache (after leaving A.M. open for over 5 minutes - still no avatars for "common" senders (Amazon.com; Google calendar / Play / alerts, etc; Ancestry.com; Santander bank; Chase bank....). Some of those I imagine should have an icon from Apistemic or Gravatar (if that's supposed to be working?).

I believe my settings should allow the avatars to show up - I'll attach a screenshot. Maybe they'll show up later if Apistemic service is still "loading"?

Thanks. Do we need an app update for that?

Additional question:
Any news about this issue?

Stored contact images were not shown in notifications.

Update: Contact images are now provided via the Apistemic service instead of Clearbit. Because of this change, images may take a few seconds to load, especially the first time they are displayed. This delay is expected and depends on network conditions and the availability of the image on the service side. Once loaded, the images are usually cached and should appear faster next time.

This is the current behavior of the feature.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the update. Hopefully the issue is resolved soon.

When you mentioned "some users" are experiencing a lack of icons showing - is there anything I / we can do on our side? Any idea why only some, and not all users are affected?.

Cheers,
Dave.

Thanks Martin.

Btw, although my notifications are all checked in my account settings, I get none. Nothing in spam either ;-)
See screenshot.

Hello insession,

Once we have a confirmed fix or a stable workaround, we’ll make sure it’s shared more broadly, so others don’t miss out on the solution either.

Hello,

We’re aware of the Clearbit change, and this is indeed where the issue originally came from. As for Gravatar, it should still be working (and it does in our internal tests). That said, we know some users are still seeing problems in real-world usage.

We’re currently working on a solution to improve the reliability of avatar fetching and fallback handling, and this should be live soon.

Thank you very much for your patience, we really appreciate it.

Looks like Clearbit sunset the free api but a subscription api is still available. I suspected that it may have been an api fee issue. But what about Gravatar?
