        @Mitu yes the UITK is still in use right now, and patches are still landing for it. But a move to using QQC2 is going to be the way forward. The UI is loaded as a plugin at runtime so UITK and QQC2 versions could be developed in parallel and share the backend (currently only messaging) with no major changes. So it's trivial to add a compile time option for which UI plugin to include.

        The UITK version will always remain in the source tree, so anyone that wants to help carry that on is welcomed 🙂 Or if Ubports moves to using a suru style for QQC2 (which is probably some way off, if at all) it should be quite easy to get Dekko working with that as well.

          I for one would like to see Dekko live on and go forward into a great app, which I believe it can be. From the sounds of it there are two versions floating around. How can I install the latest one as I got mine from the software store in Touch and there has not been any updates since.

            @Phil-UK not sure what you mean by two versions? There was a build marked version 0.9.4 which was a very early click package after the complete rewrite was started but it was never officially released. Just some folks picked it up off a launchpad blueprint.

              Oh I see, I thought it was released. So if that is the case I just have the latest official release 🙂

                Some Good News!!! Just wanted to let everyone know my interest is coming back 🙂 (Canonical just landing us in the (some expletive here) really put me off for a while) .

                Anyway I'm going to start working on getting the latest Dekko into the openstore for the legacy devices. It's going to take a few weeks at least to get there and it will most likely only have a subset of the current features as it is going to require a bit of a rework of the code. But you will be able to do all the basic mail management tasks.

                Does anyone here have any objection to it being an unconfined app?

                Once i've got some of the details ironed out I will set up a better location for discussing Dekko's features and plans going forward. As I will need as much input/ideas as possible. I don't think spamming the ubports forum is the right place for this. 🙂

                  WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This is good news!

                  Does anyone here have any objection to it being an unconfined app?

                  Probably not a bad idea. For productivity apps like Dekko, confinement isn't really handy. Being able to just send files from the file-system sounds really handy 🙂

                      First of all, thank you very much for the wonderful work you have done.
                      If I can express my opinion, a solution to what you ask may be insert on OpenStore two separate packages: the "old" DEKKO (I still use version 0.6.20) and the new package with limited functions.
                      In this way it will be possible for us to choose what App install, according to our needs.

                          In the recent restructuring of the project a new website has arisen, which you can find here. You will find links to the issue tracker, forum etc... so if you have any ideas, feature requests or want to get involved then head on over.

                                  A question for Dan,

                                  I am using now ubport touch 15.04(r9), Dekko is v. 0.6.20

                                  So the story started after i did flash my phone, and i had to install dekko all over again, so after i did install it again, i did choose the offline option and since then dekko keep on crashing, so i did uninstall and install again, the problem is still there.

                                  So any chance to wipe dekko completely out and install it all over again? The uninstall option don't delete the email settings.

                                  Regards and great to have you back working on dekko.

                                    @bq4.5 You just need to delete the ~/.cache/dekko.dekkoproject, ~/.config/dekko.dekkoproject and ~/.local/share/dekko.dekkoproject directories to reset to default.

                                    And thanks! 🙂

                                      Hi Dan, thanks for the quick answer, the problem is fixed thanks.

                                      Another question, when the next update will come? and for reporting bugs or ideas, you want us to do it here or in the new dekko website?

                                          @DanChapman Thank you Dan for such a wonderful program! My Meizu Pro 5 is my only phone and I rely on Dekko daily for my emails. I am looking forward for the click package for version 2... 🙂

                                          Meanwhile I installed version 0.9.4 and then I uninstalled it because it didn't help me send emails. After that I reinstalled version 0.6.20. Now I would need help with this: everytime I restart my phone I still have Dekko 0.9.4 and I have to uninstall it again and reinstall 0.6.20. How can I permanently remove 0.9.4?

                                          Again, a big thank you!

                                            From where I can get the 0.9.x version? The Ubuntu Store on my BQ E4.5 sill running Canonicals last OTA shows only 0.6.20. Thanks.

                                              @mihael uninstalling the click should be enough to remove it. You should also wipe the directories mentioned in this thread before reinstalling 0.6.x

                                              If that doesn't work then it's possibly a bug in the click tools :-S
