Anybody ever had problems with an #iphone and #IMAP on a #selfhosted #email server? Feel free to boost for fun.

I was just helping my wife and her mail app (iPhone 13, iOS 18.3.2) would just spin saying “connecting”. I’m standing next to her, with my iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18.3.2 and I’m on the same WiFi checking email on the same server just fine.

I tried a bunch of things. Rebooting, using cellular data instead of WiFi, closing the mail app and opening it again. Nothing fixed it. The root cause seems to have been low power mode. Her battery was low; so the phone was in low power mode. I plugged it in, took it out of low power mode, and poof! Mail connects just fine.

This is reproducible. If I go to low power mode and pull down on the screen to try to fetch, no imap. It just spins saying “connecting.” Come out of low power mode, imap is fine and fast. One thing we both do that is not the default is fetch email. The default is to push, and the phone polls quite often. I figure that’s a waste of battery, so we have ours set to fetch every 30 minutes. I’m a bit of a nut, so there are probably LOTS of other things that are not the default.

Anybody have any ideas?

I’m sure all of us have used low power mode before, and I’m fairly sure I’ve checked email under low power mode. I’ve never seen this before. #selfhosting

I've been trying #deltachat with #chatmail and normal #imap server the last few days (since my last messages). One thing I miss is a device management feature. For example, in case a device gets lost, I would like to be able to remove access. Afaik this is still not supported, correct? In that case, what would be the best way to discuss this as a feature proposal?

I've been working on a document

Własny serwer Red Hat – cz.6: serwer poczty IMAP. W piątej części z cyklu Własny Serwer Red Hat zainstalowaliśmy i skonfigurowaliśmy serwer poczty SMTP w systemie kompatybilnym z Red Hat – Rocky Linux. Można go również zastosować w innych, kompatybilnych systemach, takich jak: CloudLinux, AlmaLinux, EuroLinux, CentOS Stream, MIRACLE Linux, etc. linuxiarze.pl/wlasny-serwer-re #redhat #server #linux #email #imap

🌕 與你的郵件伺服器溝通其實沒有你想像的那麼困難!
➤ 探索電子郵件背後的技術奧祕
blog.lohr.dev/imap-introduction
本文深入探討了電子郵件系統背後的技術原理,重點介紹了IMAP協定如何讓使用者連接和管理郵件伺服器。作者透過實際操作示範,使用Telnet和OpenSSL連接郵件伺服器,並說明瞭IMAP指令的結構和應用,展示瞭如何登入、列出資料夾、搜尋郵件以及檢視郵件內容。文章揭示了電子郵件系統與網站共享許多相同技術,並強調了IMAP協定在現代電子郵件系統中的重要性。
+ 這篇文章寫得真好,原本覺得連接郵件伺服器很複雜,看了之後覺得其實可以嘗試一下!
+ 沒想到電子郵件的運作原理這麼複雜,感謝作者詳細的解釋和示範!

@ndw I've been a happy customer of #Fastmail (they're on Mastodon, too: @fastmail) since January 2018, and can comfortably recommend them if you're looking for a solid email host.
They're based in #Australia, and have full support for #IMAP, #CalDAV, #CardDAV, as-well as #JMAP if your tool(s) supports that. I like that they only do email and do it well. No ever-expanding product suite of tools I don't really need, nor any confusion on who the customer is. Nice and straight-forward :).

@armin @mwl Mail on #apple is a very difficult thing, I'm in the middle of that myself 😔

On #macos : several options, I find #thunderbird is the best you can get.

On #iOS: to my knowledge there is no #opensource option for a mail #IMAP client. Which is crazy! Only options are tied to a specific (and external, so not for you) provider: #tuta , #protonmail , in my case #mailfence .

I'm afraid that your only option on #iOS is the default #mail app...

#selfhost and #apple clearly don't seem to be good friends...
