Older Releases

Release notes for earlier versions of K-9 Mail can be found below.

  • 4.8xx Branch. [Note: The first two releases on this branch (4.800 & 4.801) will only install and run on Android 4.4 (KitKat). Later releases (4.802+) are compatible with Android 2.2+ (Froyo).]

  • 4.590 Branch (This was intended to become the 4.6xx branch, but issues related to the release of Android 4.4 interrupted K-9 Mail's normal release process.)

K-9 Mail 4.409

  • Some longtime users of K-9 have reported incredibly slow message display times in 4.4. We haven't yet gotten our hands on a device that exhibits the problem, so we haven't been able to develop a proper fix. One thing that has worked for everyone who's tried it is to long-press on the account name in the account list and select "Recreate Data" -- This will COMPLETELY ERASE the local copy of your mail and redownload a brand new copy of everything from your server. Any mail that's on your device but not on your server will be DELETED.

  • You can now can have reply and signature before quote, reply and signature after quote, or reply before and signature after quote (setting reply after and signature before still corrects to both after)
  • Convert quote characters in plain text messages to blockquotes in the HTML version. "Be like Thunderbird."
  • Colorize quoted text that has been converted to HTML. Like Thunderbird, but optimized for mobile (no right margin quote bar, thinner left margin quote bar).
  • Added 'From:' addresses on "reply all" even when 'Reply-To:' is set. Don't repeat address in 'To:' field if it's already included because it's the 'Reply-To:' address.

  • Improved zooming/scrolling when viewing a message

Notable bug fixes

  • IMAP message UIDs are 32 bit unsigned values and cannot be stored in int, so we now parse them as long.
  • Disable special screen reader mode on ICS. The default message view has special accessibility features already.
  • Don't save to drafts if drafts folder is -NONE-

  • Unify two IMAP date parsing paths, improving the exception so we can learn what date format we don't cope with.
  • Added another badDateTimeFormat to ImapResponseParser to handle IMAP servers that generate timestamps without a timezone. Fixed issue 3179.
  • Fix bug with partitioning of IMAP FETCH commands

  • Fix the ability to accept invalid SSL certificates for exchange support.

POP3

  • Made the minor modifications to support CRAM-MD5 authentication in POP3 accounts.

SMTP

  • New acounts now default to using the SMTP submission port (587) rather than the regular server-to-server (25) transport port.
  • Permanent failures when trying to deliver a message move it back to drafts.
  • Tempfail outgoing messages after 5 delivery attempts

  • If an SMTP server tells us how big the biggest message they accept is, don't even try to deliver a message to them if it's bigger than that size
  • For a while, it was possible for users to configure their outbox and drafts folders to be the same folder. This could result in drafts being sent over and over. We now use the K-9 Identity header as a shibboleth for drafts, as it's not actually set when a message is sent.
  • Removed some extra spaces from SMTP commands which picky servers rejected. Fixes issue 3182.
  • Add options for PLAIN and LOGIN authentication even when not advertised by the server. Legacy PLAIN autoselection behavior is retained.

For developers

Attachment Provider

  • AttachmentProvider can now return an attachment with an unmodified MIME type. However, when viewing attachments this is not desirable. So we try hard to return a sensible MIME type (use extension to look up a MIME type if it's originally "application/octet-stream"; or replace with canonical MIME type if it's known to be wrong, e.g. "image/jpg" -> "image/jpeg")

Sharing Messages

  • Add extra for the sender address(es) to the "Share intent"
  • Get rid of the "Fwd: " prefix when sharing a message. Add recipients to the intent ("To:" = EXTRA_EMAIL, "CC:" = EXTRA_CC)

Build Infrastructure

  • Added an 'astyle' build target
  • Switched the code's style back to something resembling AOSP standards
  • switch build infrastructure to git
  • Restore tools/build-beta to its former glory. It can now build a "K9 beta with different keys" that can sit next to an installed K-9.
  • K-9 now compiles in the libs we only need at build time when building with eclipse. This is an annoying default, but it'll make life easier for newbies starting out with K-9 for eclipse. We should ALWAYS do release builds with ant

Bug fixes

  • Fixed polling schedule after SD cards are mounted or unmounted
  • Fixed several NullPointerExceptions

Performance

  • Destroy all messages in one SQLite transaction
  • Perf improvement: use parcels instead of serializable. Standard Java serialization is slow on Android. Replacing it w/ parcelable makes it around 10x faster (on a N1, with ~ 500 messages in the list).

Third-party libraries

  • Replaced our local copy of jzlib with a clean jar built from jzlib 1.0.7 downloaded from jcraft: http://www.jcraft.com/jzlib/jzlib-1.0.7.tar.gz
  • Replaced local version of jutf7 with a homebuilt jar from:
  • Replaced Apache Commons IO with v2.01 downloaded from apache.org as a prebuilt JAR
  • Tell eclipse to bundle JARs in libs but NOT to bundle libs in compile-only-libs. (Results in Eclipse building something much closer to what ant does)
  • Start building using a JAR of MIME4J
  • Add support for building with precompiled JARs
  • Removed dependency on (external) commons-codec and commons-logging
  • Get rid of now unnecessary BouncyCastle jar
  • Use SslCertificate that is part of the official Android API instead of BouncyCastle's X509Name (which is not shipped anymore in Android 3.0) to verify domain names on SSL/TLS connections.
  • Use java.util.zip for inflating (Can't use it for deflating since it doesn't have Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH)

K-9 Mail 3.604 (March 8, 2011)

Sending Mail

  • When an SMTP server sends a "permanent failure" error, K-9 stops trying to send the message
  • When K-9 fails to deliver a message 5 times in a row, K-9 will now wait until the app stops and starts before trying again
  • Error messages sent by SMTP servers should now actually be shown to the user in the Android Notification

IMAP

  • Slightly correct an IMAP command that made certain cranky servers cranky

K-9 Mail 3.603 (February 27, 2011)

User Interface

  • Explicitly set focus to "To:" input field when composing or forwarding a message.

Sending Mail

  • Don't double-quote empty strings in From addresses to deal with certain cranky servers

Connectivity

  • Implement the ability to store messages on SD. You can find the toggle in Account Preferences under Storage.
  • Fixed significant bugs in how we garbage-collect deleted messages
  • Improved the "Do what I mean" nature of "Empty trash" - it now syncs the trash folder after deletions to clear out local records of deleted messages and does a compact operation on the local store.
  • Try to gracefully handle account DB corruption by deleting file on open exception. Updates issue 2537
  • Added the ability to completely wipe the locally cached messages of a single syncced folder.

  • Fixed an NPE in account shortcuts
  • Guard against null content from html parts on reply/forward, which was causing a bunch of NPEs on the market.

K-9 3.207 (November 2010)

Bugs Fixed

  • Force close when returning to message list

K-9 3.206 (November 2010)

Bugs Fixed

  • Force close while composing messages
  • Crash while viewing certain HTML messages on Android 2.1 (Eclair.1)

K-9 3.205

  • Not released

K-9 3.204 (October 2010)

Bugs fixed

  • Fixed Force closes on Android 1.5 devices

Internationalization

  • Updated Japanese Localization

K-9 3.203 (October 2010)

Syncing Mail

  • K-9 now tries to send pending messages whenever we refresh pushers. This should help with "stuck" unsent messages on push-only accounts.

Internationalization

  • Updated French Localization

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused display of some HTML messages on Android 1.6-2.1 devices to fail
  • Never show an undismissable "new email" notification for a null account (like used to happen during setup)
  • Unify two codepaths that sent unsent messages, one of them without a notification
  • The "viewport" hinting we used to try to better fit messages by default made zooming incredibly unreliable. Now it's only somewhat unreliable.
  • Bugfixes for contact colorization in message lists.

K-9 3.202 (October 2010)

User Interface

  • Add gmail-style "to me" and "cc me" indicators in messagelist
  • Previews for HTML-only messages
  • Improved accessibility for Next/Previous buttons in message lists

Performance

  • When returning from a message view to a message list do our listview updates on a thread rather than on the main UI thread. This results in the list blinking with old data, but that's still a better user experience than the "frozen" behaviour in 3.200
  • When doing a message search, break it into "first 10" and "more" - because a long SQL query takes more time before starting to return results, K-9 was increasingly slow on large folders.
  • Workarounds for out-of-memory errors when HTMLifying plaintext messages.

Attachments

  • Updated MIME Type list with http://www.stdicon.com/mimetypes
  • It turns out that not every android release has a good extension to mimetype mapping. restore our previous hardcoded mime database as a fallback
  • Fix for NPE when changing identities

Internationalization

Major new features

  • added launcher shortcuts to accounts, refs issue 1025 - thialfihar

  • Added menu option to select & copy text in the message view. - cketti
  • Allow users to choose an outgoing identity from any account during message composition - fiouzy & cketti
  • First pass at a "download the rest of this message" button - jessev
  • Added optional "Archive" and "Spam" buttons to Message View - thialfihar

Internationalization

  • Added Czech localization provided by lubekgc (Thanks!) - cketti
  • Added japanese translation provided by hatty. - jca02266
  • Updated french translation (thanks, p.lucauclair) - cketti
  • Complete French translation added. Cheers, plauclair. - thialfihar
  • Updated polish translation with patch provided by borszczuk (see issue 1321) - cketti

Build system

  • Google got rid of the android-6 distribution in the SDK. We now build against android-8, (though we're still backwards compatible to android-3.) - jessev

Selected internal improvements

  • Use of constants for immutable empty arrays (prevent useless memory allocation) - fiouzy
  • Try to avoid a bunch of reallocations as we grow the temporary output stream by defining its size if we can get it - jessev@gmail.com
  • Backport an update to getTextFromPart from AOSP as of 290348 - dealing with OOM as we import large messages - jessev@gmail.com
  • Switch from the incomplete (but compatible with java 1.3) mime4j charset alias resolver to the core java nio version with a better charset database; rather than falling back to not showing the user a failing message, fall back to showing the user the message as ascii -- it makes it possible to get something out of an unknown-charset message, rather than just a "ha ha. no." error. - jessev
  • use "http://" as baseUrl in WebView instead of "email://", refs issue 267 - thialfihar
  • Better handling of cases where a special folder is set to INBOX (e.g. Sent folder = INBOX). Make sure we count unread messages and don't exclude the Inbox from notifications in this case. Fixes issue 1817 - cketti
  • Synchronize iterator accesses to mAdapter.messages to avoid ConcurrentModificationException in MessageList. Fixes issue 1598 - fiouzy
  • Avoid NullPointerException when trying to move a message before it is fully loaded (in message view). Fixes issue 1957 - cketti
  • When counting remote unseen/flagged messages, don't window to only the most recent 300 messages - Since we display this # to the user, the "last 300" heuristic ends up confusing and wrong on a regular basis. - jessev

Configurability

  • added a setting for language, overriding the system locale settings - thialfihar
  • Add a per-account setting to choose how much of each message to download automatically. - jessev
  • Added option to return to the message list after deleting a message in the message view activity. Fixes issue 1634 - fiouzy
  • Added preference to go to Integrated Inbox on application startup. Fixes issue 1797 - cketti
  • Implements new setting "Sync remote deletions" which is checked by default. When unchecked, K-9 Mail will no longer remove messages from local storage just because the message was removed from the server. This functionality works for all account types. Messages will still be removed from the local store in order to stay within the limit imposed by the "Number of messages to display" setting. Fixes Issue 794 - danapple0
  • Added the vibrate pattern preference. Fixes Issue 1915 - jca02266
  • Added option to specify the message quote prefix character/string (default ">"). Applied patch provided by fiouzy (Thanks!) with some small modifications. Fixes issue 1830 - cketti
  • Added option to specify Reply-to address for an identity. Patch provided by fiouzy (Thanks!). Fixes issue 1762 - cketti

Performance

  • With all the other performance work we've been doing, getting a message into the messagelist is now much, much faster. Intentionally loading the whole mailbox before we let the user interact with the list is increasingly painful. A 250 message mailbox takes 2+ seconds to "unlock" on a modern phone. - jessev
  • Rather than doing a full count of all the unread messages in each and every folder for each message downloaded in a session, factor the "unread messages" count out into the calling code. It's slightly less clean, but a pretty huge performance gain. - jessev

User Interface

  • Remove URLs from message previews. Suggested by Kevin Falcone - jessev
  • Show "From", "To", "Cc" headers in "raw" form when displaying all message headers. Fixes issue 1805 - cketti
  • Support inline images in HTML mail. - jca02266
  • Don't show "To: " if the only recipients were ccs and bccs. - jessev
  • Experimental changes to tell WebView that the HTML versions of messages we generate from ascii are "mobile-optimized" - jessev
  • Don't fire off a notification about new mail before we finish initializing an account. This should prevent "(null)" notifications on account setup- jessev
  • K-9 wasn't properly clearing the thumbnail/tmpfile cache. We now properly clear it up on start, which causes K-9 to leak less flash memory AND fixes the "Wrong thumbnail" bug. - jessev
  • After we download attachments, get rid of the "old" attachment views - jessev
  • When marking a message as read as we're opening it from the message list, don't "bother" sorting the messagelist again before opening the message, it adds a bit of slowness when we don't need it and we'll sort again when we get back to the message list. - jessev
  • remember which message was selected in MessageList in case the list changes while the dialog is up - thialfihar
  • Applied patch by ndarilek (thanks!) to add android:contentDescription attributes to unlabeled input fields to improve accessibility. - cketti
  • Moving sendMessage and saveMessage into AsyncTasks to make the send/save buttons much less janky - jessev
  • Remember last selected folder for copy and move operations and scroll this folder into view on subsequent folder selections (for move and copy operations). - cketti
  • Added account settings for "archive" and "spam" folders. See issue 3. - thialfihar
  • Show To, Cc and From headers on the part of additional headers without fetching all headers. Fixes Issue 1914 - jca02266
  • Hide the message header while flipping messages, rather than displaying the "wrong" thing during load. - jessev
  • Ask the user to save a draft message or discard it when the press the back button. - jca02266
  • Start at replacing text buttons with image buttons. - jessev
  • make MessageList remember the last selected item - thialfihar
  • Save/restore In-Reply-To/References headers on configuration change Fixes Issue 1887 - fiouzy

Sync improvements

  • Android is growing up a bit. artificially limiting the user to attachments of only 5MB is counter-productive, bump the artificial limit to 128M - jessev
  • If we hit a race condition and download a message after it's already been marked as suppressed, then don't actually save it locally - jessev
  • Only ask for POP3 capabilities before authorization if TLS should be used. Always ask after authorization. - cketti
  • A race condition made the outgoing certificate being compared to the old incoming mHost, throwing an exception with an untrusted certificate dialogue to accept or decline. - jessev

K-9 2.800

Account List

  • Always display the date -- cketti

Composing Messages

  • Use the default account when composing from search results. -- danapple
  • Preserve In-Reply-To and References header when continuing saved drafts -- fiouzy
  • Make sure the References header doesn't exceed 997 characters and the value won't get Q-encoded. -- fiouzy & cketti
  • Populate text and subject when handling ACTION_SENDTO -- danapple
  • Set background color of message compose view to white -- cketti
  • Correctly encode attachment filenames with non-ASCII characters. -- jca02266
  • New preference setting to add buttons to attach images or videos which is needed to work around a bug in Gallery. -- cketti (with dman13)

Settings

  • You can now set font sizes for account lists, folder lists, message lists and message views -- cketti
  • You can now select account chip colors -- jessev
  • You can now control account size measurement and search result counting in the Accounts Activity -- danapple

  • K-9 now obeys the system-wide "Auto-sync" setting -- danapple
  • K-9 can now sync with Yahoo IMAP servers over Wifi -- danapple
  • To help with battery life, give up trying to IMAP IDLE after 10 failures. -- danapple
  • To help with battery life, increase IMAP IDLE retry delays -- danapple
  • Optionally perform a full poll/sync of a folder whenever the IMAP IDLE connection is established. -- danapple
  • IMAP IDLE can now handle delete notifications from more types of servers (if poll on connect is enabled) -- danapple

IMAP

  • Response Parser overhaul -- cketti
  • Parser Quoted strings can contain '"' in escaped form. readStringUntil() fails to unescape and will will return prematurely when the string contains an escaped '"' character. -- cketti
  • When connected to a server that does not automatically send an untagged UIDNEXT with the responses to SELECT, explicitly SEARCH for the currently highest UID in the folder on the server and then add 1 to it to get the UIDNEXT. -- danapple
  • Some servers respond with an untagged EXISTS to every NOOP. This change parses through all untagged responses in a loop until no more are being generated, avoiding calling internalOpen each time. -- danapple
  • Bullet proofing to make fetches not break when folders have insane default visible limits. -- jessev
  • Eliminate extraneous spaces from UID SEARCH commands. Also, abort IDLE connection attempt if mConnection is null before IDLEing. Otherwise, we cannot set the idle timeout. -- danapple
  • Be more tolerant of non-compliant servers. Do not require a space following the + in command continuation requests. The rest of the token parser will swallow the space if it is actually there but we don't really need it. -- danapple
  • Save IMAP capabilities in upper case so we handle them case-insensitively, too. Make sure all CAPABILITY-detection constants are written in upper case. --danapple
  • After discussion with cketti, reinstate using LIST to find the path delimiter, but only if the server does not support NAMESPACE. Since we've encountered non-compliant servers that freak out at the LIST command, enclose in a try/catch structure so that failures do not totally prevent IMAP communication. -- danapple
  • Correct fault in IDLE WakeLock usage. The ThreadLocal in MessagingControllerPushReceiver meant that the WakeLock acquired when the DONE was sent was not being released when entering back into IDLE state. -- danapple
  • Workaround for servers which don't provide an INTERNALDATE response. -- danapple
  • Look for + as acknowledgement that we're in IDLE mode, not "idling" string. -- danapple
  • Handle incoming tokens in a case-insensitive manner -- danapple

SMTP

  • Prefix IPv6-addresses with "IPV6:" in the SMTP EHLO command -- cketti
  • Don't log sensitive information in SMTP commands when "Log sensitive information" is unchecked. -- fiouzy

  • Switching "Touch-friendly view" option from message list view no longer causes NullPointerException / Force close -- jessev
  • Bump our default target to android-6 since the current SDK doesn't offer an android-5. -- jessev
  • Helper classes to get the state of the Android auto-sync setting. Implementation differs for SDK 1.5, SDK 1.6 and SDK 2.0+. See issue 1482 for more details. -- cketti
  • Fix error handling code in DB upgrade. -- cketti
  • When the remote store is incapable of returning an unread message count (POP) or a flagged message count (POP, WebDAV), count the number of local messages with the desired attributes. -- danapple
  • Aggressively get rid of obsolete Flag X_NO_SEEN_INFO. It was interfering with "unread" searches on POP3 accounts. -- danapple
  • Fix NullPointerException when using the touch friendly message list. -- cketti
  • Added meta-tag with charset=utf-8 to about box html source to fix UTF-8 issues. -- gerberstef
