the main dev that took over and busted the app is paid €4000 every month-Attronarch (August 04, 2021, 12:44 PM)
EDIT: v5.6 has disappeared from F-Droid [...]I grabbed in from F-Droid just in time, then. Thanks for the more comprehensive link.

Well, that's good, at least.[...] Bluemail [...]came across a comment that it saves your mail in its cloud-rjbull (July 29, 2021, 04:27 PM)
According to their privacy policy, they don't save emails on their servers.-4wd (July 30, 2021, 03:07 AM)
You can get previous versions, (don't know how many), on F-Droid.Thanks, grabbed a copy of the last one that will run on my old tablet.-4wd (July 30, 2021, 03:07 AM)
People on Play aren't really happy with the new version.I gave it a quick look, and it seemed about 9 to 1 against the new interface. Seems no point in turning it into another me-too without distinguishing features.-4wd (July 29, 2021, 07:05 AM)
Android play store update's scheme is not my favorite.Mine neither. Worse still with the new UI that doesn't show what apps you've just updated, only the ones you haven't. Hides apps that won't run on your device as if they didn't exist, doesn't keep old versions for older devices. The app store search feature is hopeless too. No way to sort the results by my sort of criteria that I can see, and often pushes irrelevant crap at you. Just like Google.-MilesAhead (July 29, 2021, 09:21 AM)
Yeah, there's no longer an account list like in the old interface, if you hit back you exit. To get to other accounts you have to go through the menu.I wouldn't be, either. I once played a bit with Pegasus Mail, and couldn't for the life of me see how to add a second account, until somebody pointed out a discreet little dropdown. I much prefer TheBat!'s interface with all accounts in a tree.

I grabbed 5.6 and reloaded it ...One of the annoyances with Android is they demand you use the 'latest', regardless of whether it fits your needs best, and only put the latest on view. Where did you actually find 5.6?-4wd (July 29, 2021, 07:05 AM)
EDIT: Sideloaded apps aren't linked to the Play store so they'll never update, is this correct?Don't know, but doubt it. Google are very keen on their walled garden.-4wd (July 29, 2021, 07:05 AM)
Had a look awhile ago for another email app but all the ones I could find went for the hiding multiple accounts under a menu and trying to get you to use a Unified inbox.Does that go for Bluemail, that you mentioned before? I tried it - not the new version - on one account only, so didn't see multi-account behaviour. It's pretty, but I came across a comment that it saves your mail in its cloud, which I would much prefer to avoid.-4wd (July 29, 2021, 07:05 AM)
That'll teach me to update apps at 00:20, didn't notice that K-9 Mail was in the list and now I've got it's new crappy interface.-4wd (July 28, 2021, 01:53 AM)
From what I understood, Windows 11 Home versions now require an internet connection and Microsoft account. Local accounts not allowed anymore.Do you know if that is also true of Win11 Pro and Enterprise, assuming they keep those versions?-Shades (June 24, 2021, 11:17 PM)
This is a big no no for me.Me too, though I'm not sure I'm brave enough to leave familiar applications programs behind and start over again with Linux. On the other hand, I'm increasingly tired of Microsoft's behaviour. I find a Windows 10 PC is laden with lots of Microsoft's lame applications that I don't use and didn't ask for. My rule of thumb is that third-party software is always better, and if I want extra features, I'll go and look for them myself. The latest bugbear was Microsoft News appearing on the task bar. I thought it was a program in itself and couldn't find a way to remove it, eventually realising you had to turn it off. But I didn't want it there in the first place.-Shades (June 24, 2021, 11:17 PM)
Another thing you could do, is if you had any kind of swf player, you could record your screen as it played.ScreenToGif's own home page is https://www.screentogif.com/ but it's the same version as MajorGeeks have. There's also LICEcap. Don't know about quality; it certainly has less features.

It replaces the Windows Start Menu, though it lets you revert to that if you want to. It's a lot nicer and more powerful than the Windows default, but it's, well, what did I expect, a Start Menu. That means it points to the c:\Program Files\ and c:\Program Files (x86)\ subdirectory trees. Some of my programs are installed in their own directories off c:, e.g. something like "c:\Programs\NoteTab 7\", and Start Menu X is not as happy finding such as those. I also have quite a few programs "installed" as if they were portable in subdirectories beneath "c:\NoInst\", and it can't find those at all (unless there's a way to add them I haven't found yet). So, for a slightly different reason, I'm like you in needing more than one launcher.I've tested a few now and settled with "FolderChangesView"-highend01 (April 25, 2021, 12:31 AM)

I don't want to have to run a whole program just to grab a few files off my desktop and put them into a folder once in a while.Which is exactly what you will be doing. I don't understand why you're resistant to using a good general-purpose file manager, especially as there are plenty of good free ones.-Jasong222 (April 07, 2021, 04:22 PM)
Automatically organize files based on their propertiesSee their short video on that page. It's payware, and not dirt cheap either, though it's been on discount at Bits du Jour a few times. Also, I wonder if there's too much assembly required for ad hoc jobs.
Copywhiz for Windows lets you automatically copy files to an organized folder structure.
It can create the folder structure based on the file attributes such as file name, date, size, extension, type and also mp3 metadata (Album, Artist, Genre etc).
