FidoMail Mobile

FidoNet & Usenet mail client

Free

FidoMail Mobile is a mobile client for Fidonet, the amateur mail network that has been running since 1984 and is still alive today. The app connects to your boss (the uplink node) over binkp and lets you read and reply in echoes and netmail, transfer files, and more. NNTP and IMAP servers are supported too, with minimal Usenet support. To use Fidonet you need a point address from a node's sysop: the point address and a password. The setup wizard gets the connection configured quickly. NNTP and IMAP servers need only a host and, if required, a login. FEATURES • Fidonet over binkp/1.1: echomail and netmail, ARCmail bundles, separate session and packet passwords, AreaFix subscription management from inside the app • NNTP with TLS or STARTTLS, reading and posting • IMAP support for reading echoes (unique to this client) • Threaded message list, unread navigation, full-text search • Composer with quoting, reply templates, signatures and the classic Fidonet reply style; drafts and an outbox • Filters and scoring: highlight or hide messages by author, subject or other fields; block senders • Address book collected from the mail you read • Scheduled background mail exchange with notifications for new mail • Charsets: CP866, CP1251, KOI8-R, UTF-8 and more, for reading and posting • Pseudographics and box-drawing characters rendered in a bundled monospace font • Backup and restore of settings and messages • English, Russian and Dutch interface FidoMail Mobile is free, with no ads and no analytics. Fidonet is an amateur computer network. Ask any sysop for a point address; the developer runs a public node at 2:5001/100 (see fidomail.5001.ru).

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• The message text has its own size: Settings → Look → "Message text size", next to the list and header size. It follows the old setting until you change it; the link button puts it back in step. • A font for the message text: Settings → Look → "Message font" — the bundled JetBrains Mono, the system monospace or proportional font, or any family typed in by name. The preview shows a pseudographics table and warns when the font shears it. • Settings → Reading → "Keep the message header in view": the Date/From/To/Subj block stays put while the text scrolls under it. Off by default. • The "Area:" line is gone from the header inside an echo, where it only repeated the title. It stays in Starred, Personal and filter groups, where it tells you which echo a message came from. • NNTP: reading news from InterSquish nodes now works — the server switches echoes during LISTGROUP; FidoMail notices and reselects it. The newsgroup list shows article counts on such nodes. • "Connect over: Automatic" tries IPv6 first whenever the host has an IPv6 address. The mail activity log names the resolved addresses before the first connect, and lists every address it tried, with the reason, when a connection fails. • The mail activity log says which running copy of FidoMail holds the lock when an exchange is skipped, and says plainly when no session password is configured. • Fixed: "Connecting…" under a node's name could stay there after the session had long finished. Fixed: ANSI art banners spaced out with cursor-forward sequences or tabs were measured too narrow, so every second line was glued onto the one above.
