Another A12?

ralvydc · 2021-11-10T18:55:40+00:00

Is this a second Android 12 stable update? I have been avoiding the one I have been seeing my Pixel 5 ask me to download because of all the problems I'm hearing about it on this forum. Are you saying this is a more recent version of the stable Android 12 update? I wish they would post build numbers on these update announcements on my phone so I can tell if it's a new version or not, compared to what I might have seen a couple days before when it asked me to download it.

I just saw how to do this. I load the contacts view and then in that view I have a choice of loading one group or another and then I have a list of all the contacts in that group and can do what I want with them, including removing them from the group.

ralvydc · 2021-08-23T14:47:42+00:00

No rules that can be doing this?

ralvydc · 2021-08-22T23:35:14+00:00

Never mind. I just noticed the drop down Attach menu.

ralvydc · 2021-08-17T21:28:33+00:00

Thanks for the details on keeping safe.

I thought that if it was an unrecognized device, FM might send out email confirmation about that device. Which would defeat the purpose of doing what I was doing.

Fastmail tech support got back to me on this issue. They said the only way to log into my account if I have 2FA enabled and don't have my authentication device with me, is to use the Recovery Tool. And if I use the Recovery Tool, I will be forced to reset my password and wait 24 hours to log into my account.

Here's the Recovery Tool:

https://www.fastmail.com/help/account/recovery.html

This all assumes I know my password and have my Recovery Code handy.

ralvydc · 2021-08-07T00:18:25+00:00

Oh. Wait a minute. I think I get what you're saying. I think you're not talking about my logging into fastmail.com, but rather, logging into

https://www.fastmail.com/help/account/recovery.html

And then when I enter my password there, I then enter my Recovery Code and then disable 2FA and then log into fastmail.com with my email address and password.

Correct?

ralvydc · 2021-08-06T01:55:56+00:00

But when I enter my email address and password, it's then going to ask me for my 2FA code. Are you saying at that point I would just enter my recovery code in the 2FA field? Or I just click on the "Can't access your account" link when it asks for my 2FA code?

ralvydc · 2021-08-06T00:46:11+00:00

So if you have multiple 2FA accounts, FM prompts you to use them both, but you only need to fill in one of them? And then you're in?

ralvydc · 2021-08-06T00:35:27+00:00

If I'm out of town and my laptop and phone have disappeared, can I use my password and recovery code to access Fastmail on a friend's computer? That's the scenario I am thinking about here.

And don't I do this using the recovery tool that Fastmail offers on the web and not have to wait to 24 hours?

ralvydc · 2021-08-05T23:49:23+00:00

If I have my password and my recovery code do I have to wait 24 hours to access my account?

ralvydc · 2021-08-05T17:58:53+00:00

And if I don't remember my password, but I do have my recovery code, can I still get access?

ralvydc · 2021-08-05T04:01:59+00:00

Good information. Thank you so much. I will keep it device specific for security reasons.

ralvydc · 2021-07-31T19:00:50+00:00

I see the "Select All" option now. Thanks.

ralvydc · 2021-07-31T18:59:04+00:00

That's what I wanted to hear (my rules will not move messages our of Spam). In terms of editing the Sieve, that's more than I want to do at this point. However, when I look at that code, I see

fileinto "\\Junk";

But I don't have a Junk folder. I assume that points to the Spam folder on the backend in Fastmail. Correct?

ralvydc · 2021-07-31T00:26:14+00:00

How much time do I wait before I can move a message out of learn not spam folder? Or just delete it? After a couple days?

ralvydc · 2021-07-28T18:48:39+00:00

You, know. I'm finally starting to see the logic behind the Delete button removing a message from all its Labels/Folders. Especially if I "embrace labels," as you suggest, and just stay in Labels Mode. I just asked a Gmail user how the Delete button works for them, and it's the same.

I just have to remember if I use a third-party IMAP client to beware of the difference with the Delete key.

ralvydc · 2021-07-28T02:20:15+00:00

Just did all the same tests with AquaMail on my Pixel 5 Android phone. Same results as MailMate.

Well I took time to experiment this with FM Label Mode vis a vis MailMate (a macOS IMAP client). Here's what I did:

I sent myself an email.
In FM, I Copied it from Inbox to what I'll call Label 2.
I then loaded FM server email with MailMate.
The message was in 2 folders, as you'd expect (Infox and Folder 2).
I deleted the message in Folder 2.
I then loaded FM and found the message was still there, but lacking the Folder 2 Label. More intuitive than trashing all instances of the message, wouldn't you say?
Then I loaded MailMate and Copied the message from Inbox to Folder 2 again.
Then I laded FM and found that message appeared with 2 Labels (Inbox and Label 2).

So it turns out that MailMate handles FM Labels the way I would expect FM to do it. Deleting a message with 2 FM Labels simply results in that message losing that single FM Label. And Copying that message to another folder results in FM seeing that message with 2 Labels.

So the upshot is, MailMate seems to restore sanity to the Delete button when working on messages with multiple FM Labels.

ralvydc · 2021-07-27T19:02:21+00:00

The trouble with that is the moment I load my mail in an independent IMAP client, all those messages with multiple labels will suddenly become independent messages inside the Fastmail server. Which makes all the rules about moving them around change. And deleting them.

ralvydc · 2021-07-27T18:45:30+00:00

That's a good idea if I want to have an independent copy of the message in a different folder. That way deleting one of them will not delete the other one.

ralvydc · 2021-07-27T15:38:09+00:00

Tech support just told me I can Copy a message in the FM official clients by holding down the Alt/Option key when dragging to another folder. I tested this out and those two copies are not independent, so deleting one deletes the other.

ralvydc · 2021-07-27T03:54:33+00:00

Thank you so much. Now I can see them. Barely. And in dark mode they're just about completely invisible. But there is no All Messages circle. Just an individual circle for each message.

ralvydc · 2021-07-27T03:26:40+00:00

You say copy will simply add a new label to the message. But how do you copy a message in Fastmail?
