Wow! IRIS becomes really "professional"!

The only thing I'm missing is do save and load mails per drag&drop to external directories.....would make mail-management a way easier.

@Amigaharry2

That stuff was implemented a long, long time ago. Select My Computer in the Folders list. Then open the main menu and select Folders > Map Local Folder. Select a directory in the asl requester. Press Add Folder in the new popup window. Done. Now you can drag emails to that folder.

Btw, you can also use this functionality to read mail in folders of other mail applications.

Thanks a lot for "Delete/Backspace keys may now be used to quickly delete messages"!!!

Oh! Didn't realise that - impressive...!
Mails are stored as numbers - is it possible to store such outdropped mails with their subject as filename?

The reason is, that I have plenty of mails, which have to be archived local on PC or NAS corresponding to their belongs - with "speaking" filenames is easier to find them.

Those are hashes. If you need to use something custom, I can only suggest you use Iris' rexx API to save the current message to the path of your choice. You can also ask Iris to return the subject of the message currently being viewed.

Using subjects is problematic because a) they are not unique, b) they may contain unprintable characters, c) they'd often be too long.

I've just done a pass on https://iris-morphos.com/faq and updated all supported Arexx commands there.

Iris 1.32 out to address some minor issues

- Fixed a regression with read/unread flags not being updated correctly when the remote state changed
- Improved the folder list context menu

Thank you for explanation! Try to look at Arexx......

Is there a way to select a mail with cursor keys without loading/open the mail?

Only with rmb.

Announcement: Google has, unfortunately, added new requirements to keep Iris certified for GMail access. One of those is external audit, which would add a yearly cost of about 500 USD. I am currently evaluating our options but I do not believe it's worth paying this much money per year just to keep frictionless GMail access in the app.

Totally understandable (from your pov), but a sad thing...

Are you able to keep basic GMail account support (IMAP) in Iris without this audit?

@MDW

Google used to offer a feature called "access via less secure apps", which had to be enabled by end users in order to access IMAP accounts without OAuth.

Unfortunately, Google will officially retire the feature on September 30, 2024.

@MDW

Not without people having to lower their security settings in GMail, which I would like to avoid.

Right.

Jacadcaps : Your pov is perfectly understable... 500 EUR a year is a lot of money.

I first thought of a bounty-like, but making such a bounty every year and reaching 500 EUR each time seems an illusion.

And, by the way, I'd rather give the money to you than to Google!

/me really needs to migrate to an another mail provider !

Even though I agree that money would be spent better on Jaca, on the other hand Google support should be essential to some extent of the users. I think, it should be doable to setup a bouanty on a fixed amount (25 eur / user) and for just 20 active Google users, we could reach easily this amount. Imho of course.

Until they raise the fence fee for getting in...

Wasted money imo. Switching to other email providers are imo a better move.

Iris 1.33 is out!

- Restored context menus over folder and message list title rows
- Narrow view message list title row now has a sleeker menu for quicker access to sorting and filtering modes
- Implemented the ability to add a custom button to the toolbar

I very like Iris but I'm unlucky with Iris. :) My mail @amiga.pl since several months doesn't work correctly in the Iris. I switched to @gmail.com (Iris wasn't only reason) and now I won't be able use Gmail in the Iris. :(

However in a future I am going to leave almost all Google solutions (except e.g. YouTube), so support of GMail won't be important for me. Google is no longer the reliable 'uncle' it used to be. The company has become quite annoying. Long stage of investing and giving away has ended. The harvest has begun. :)

I've been thinking about leaving Gmail for some time now for various reasons, but I'm in dilemma about which one to choose - any suggestions?

Quote:
I don't know. Apart of MorphOS I use only macOS/tvOS/iOS/iPadOS, so probably will use Apple account (@icloud.com).
Ofcourse @amiga.pl still is active but I am not sure about future of this mail provider and support of neo.pl (owner of amiga.pl) is not perfect.

Thanks for the update, Jacek!

I would like to have the option to install an update (by quitting) AND re-open Iris. Possible?

Hi!


Just updated Iris from 1.26 to (current) 1.33.

Unfortunately now, always when I start Iris, the "crash window" opens stating it seems that Iris has crashed. (Did send the bug report the first time).

It seems I can log in and move mails to different Folders (Backup, Spam).
Haven't tried to delete a mail.
When double clicking a mail the mail window opens but no text (mail) is displayed).

When connecting to my mail account via web interface (using Wayfarer) everything seems to work OK though.

Does the same happen on a clean installation?
