[FR] Standalone android app #84
Comments
Not impossible but tricky, you would have to find a DavMail version of each dependency. |
Hi, I successfully run DavMail in Termux on an Android tablet. |
Thanks for this information! Does running Davmail in Termux on Android still require an SSL Key to use Davmail? An Android app would be much better than the current system of having to setup a server and point it out for everyone on the internet to access. Could you write up some instructions on how to install Davmail and use in Termux for us Android GrapheneOS/K-9/FairEmajl users? Thank you. |
Hi Christian,
I don't know what it's meant for, but no, I didn't need to use SSL.
Sure! :-) You'll need to install the following Termux packages:
Some notes:
Below comes the DavMail configuration file I use.
Provided that you unpacked the DavMail binaries archive in
That's all for now. -- |
Thanks for posting this. Unfortunately I was unable to run the bash script through Termux on Android....I am probably not tech-savvy enough to accomplish this. I will hold out hope for a general Android app for Davmail to use with K-9 Mail in light of the fact that Davmail is the only free way to use Office365 accounts with Thunderbird and other FOSS Email programs. |
Hi, if you feel like, I might try to assist you. -- |
I would greatly appreciate that @atelszewski. Do you use Matrix? I can be reached at @BalooRJ:matrix.org |
Hi, please forgive me my late reply -- too many things, too little time. ;-) For now, let's forget about the Bash script. Provided that:
go to where the package is extracted and run davmail with:
Let me know where you're at with the above steps and we'll continue from there. |
Just to report that I have been successful installing Termux packages $ ./davmail davmail.properties Then, I could configure K-9 Mail easily (following the instructions on the DavMail website for Thunderbird). I've currently done minimal testing (just receiving and sending emails) but it seems to work ok. I'm using Graphene OS. I'd like to thank a lot @atelszewski for the information provided that has been very valuable, although I finally didn't use the script that he has kindly shared (it didn't work for me). I still join the others in considering that a DavMail Andriod app would be very valuable (thanks a lot @mguessan for creating DavMail!). |
Hi, glad to hear that! :-) Happy (Dav)Mailing! :-) -- |
An update after a bit of experimentation (I hope it's not OT, please let me know otherwise). Although the arrangement mentioned in my previous message works, it is not very practical as a daily driver. I have three main problems (none of them appears to be clearly and directly related with DavMail, though).
This is my
And this is an excerpt for a few minutes of usage from the log (Termux+K9 Mail):
Is such a continuous sequence of disconnect-connect-logon in a short time normal? I don't seem to have this in my PC logs. Do you see anything to be fixed with the above? I'm trying FairEmail as email client but I have not yet found an app that can substitute Termux and work in a secondary profile (any suggestions?) I'm posting just to share my experience and (hopefully) get some suggestions. |
Hi, when it comes to using multiple profiles, unfortunately I have no experience. when it comes to sending/ receiving e-mails and syncing calendars, I have most of the time no issues, both e-mail and calendar sync works well. On a side note, I have FairEmail configured to fetch messages only manually. One more note: I experience issues with some messages, as described in #313. -- |
Thanks for the suggestions @atelszewski Another update. I have tried FairEmail with Termux and it is much more functional, stable and prompt: although I've tested it for a short time, for now it is working really well! If this continues to be the case, problems 2 and 3 in my previous message (together with a few, less severe ones) are solved 👍 Definitely a strong suggestion for everyone interested in this issue. Concerning the last problem (i.e. finding a substitute of Termux to launch the local DavMail server from an additional profile), I did find NeoTTY and (after quite a bit of experimentation) I was able to install permanent Alpine Linux with it (default is a diskless distribution), and install Java (package
The script starts but hangs. The log file is empty (there is only a line recording when DavMail has been stopped). However, if I start DavMail without specifying a configuration file (i.e. This is a
Do you see anything wrong? Could you suggest anything? I feel I'm quite close to the finishing line, but I might be wrong. |
Possible to make an android app basing on DavMail code?
