Sending from different accounts
« on: March 17, 2017, 08:35:59 am »
I have 3 email accounts in AquaMail and several aliases. Previously while composing I could select the desired sending account from a dropdown menu. Now I have to hit Send to be able to select a different acct or alias. Then boom, it's gone, no second guessing. I would like to be able to see the entire email, with desired sending account and signature, for more than that split second. Is there a way?

Hoping the designer is lurking: seeing the sending email across the top as I compose, all run together as "newmyemailaddress" bugs the h--- out of me. Some of us still care about spelling, punctuation, etc. We'll eventually die off. Hope you can accomodate us in the meantime.

I have loved AquaMail since I found it several years ago after trying almost every Android Mail app out there. I hope this is not the beginning of the end.

Yes I can see it on my S6 (not Edge).

How does Samsung manage to make bugs everywhere?

A possible workaround would be to completely remove the text portion ("New" etc) but although Samsung phones are popular, they're not the only ones out there.

However, this needs to be fixed.

Hi @mikeone, we've posted our answers in the same time!
Yes, we both have nothing better to do than checking our emails  :)

Re: If you're speaking about "New Message" (see my screenshot), this is a bug.

Yes. Samsung's bug.

Fortunately, I just implemented a workaround yesterday (as part of something else I'm working on) and it'll be posted fairly soon and hopefully gets into the 1.9 official release.

Thank you all for all your posts although I don't see an answer. I am so glad to see that Kostya's still on board because he is a great guy with a great program, and he helped me personally when I first set up my multiple accounts.

I don't see how I can send screenshots without revealing my email addresses or spending a lot of time trying to black things out somehow.

My tablet is already set to confirm before sending. The problem is, once I confirm, boing, it's gone, in a split second. If I accidentally tap the wrong account, or my finger gets bumped, too bad.

I want to be able to actually see the body of the email, the recipient, and the sending account all at once, for review. I used to see this, every time. I would compose the message. In the Compose screen, I would be able to see the sending email address and if it was the wrong one, I could change it from a dropdown menu. I would hit Send. THEN I would get the confirmation popup for a final check, and if desired, I could change the sending email.

When I am composing I do not see any way to choose a different sending account. This is a big problem for me. "Confirm before Send" is a misnomer IMO. I can't confirm the sending account, I haven't chosen it yet. The system has used a default sending account.

Yes I have a Samsung, glad to see the "Newemail" issue is being addressed.

No. I want to see what I am sending BEFORE confirming. I want to select the correct sending account while I am composing. In fact it's usually the first thing I do, not the last.

I am attaching a couple of screenshots, if that helps.

I'm not asking for anything new. A feature went away or it got changed in a way where I don't see how to do it anymore.

Thank you! That does work. I had looked at all the responses & the links but thought they were talking about the lack of a space between "new" and my email address, not realizing that's where to tap to activate the dropdown menu. Thanks again.

Re:  it's just partially hidden by the word "new"

Um, not hidden, but there is a lack of white space between that word and the drop-down. An unfortunate Android bug.

Re: Why not remove this label "New" "Nouveau message" since it adds no valuable information and could be misleading.

Sometimes it's not "new" but "draft" (for an existing one).

But as I already wrote above, this is fixed in current code, just not posted yet.
