      Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask. If I should file this as a bug instead, please point me to the relevant place.
      How can I remove a mail account from dekko2? (I have dekko2 0.2.2 on UbuntuTouch 16.04 OTA-11.)
      In "manage accounts", I can swipe to the right and click on the waste basket, but nothing happens. I already deleted and re-installed dekko2, but all accounts were still there. Where does dekko2 store its configuration? Can I modify that file by hand, or at least delete it and start over again?

      A bit about myself: I am new to UbuntuTouch and to this forum. Bought my Nexus 5 on ebay with UbuntuTouch pre-installed (Ubuntu 16.04 OTA-11). I'm a long-term Linux enthusiast (desktop and server, mostly Debian), but Linux on a phone is completely new to me. So far, I've learned that it's not a miniature laptop and much more complex. Any recommended readings?
      I am not a programmer, but maybe I can help with testing.

        @adeliepenguin you can install the app called ut tweak tool from the open store. With that app you can select dekko2 and clean the cache folder. Then the configueation is deleted.

        The question is, why is deleting inside dekko not working πŸ€”

          Swipe to the right?
          So you have already tried to click the trash icon on the top right of the following page?

            @hummlbach Thank you very much! That worked. I had not seen the trash symbol in that screen. My account name was longer than the screen's width, and the trash symbol was drawn right over the name, nearly invisible. (dark Suru theme, account name is white, Trash symbol light grey, the white letters underneath still visible)
            The trash symbol that does not work is on another screen: "Mail Settings" -> "Accounts" leads to the screen "Manage accounts" with a list of all accounts. When I swipe an account to the right, a red trash symbol appears on the left (like when deleting mails from the inbox). Clicking on that symbol has no effect. So I think I hit a bug there.

              @stefwe Good to know. But do I really need an app for that? Is the config stored in some kind of database? My problem has been solved, so I am just curious here. I had been looking around in .local and .cache, hoping to find a text config like .fetchmailrc, but all I found were cached copies of my mails, plus some binary stuff.

                Welcome! There's a lot of info right here in the forum, although it can take a bit of digging! Theres a list of links to tutorials here that you may find useful.

                The UBports website itself is obviously a place to go with perhaps of interest the blogs pages and the docs where among other things there is a section on bug reporting.

                  That the UT tweak tool treats config data as cache and/or Dekko2 stores config data together with cache, Iβ€˜d call a bug.

                      Thank you very much for reporting this two issues. Both solved in the next dekko release

                        @ziggutas Thanks a lot for the links! Besides the UBports website, I had only found one out of three before. I see a lot of reading coming ahead. πŸ˜ƒ

                        There is a broken link on the UBports website:

                        [...] but we would not be anywhere without our (community contributors(1)). Tasks like translations, quality assuranceand even development are handled to a surprising extent by volunteers.

                        See (here,(1)) to find out how to become one of us.

                        Depending on my locale, the links I marked (1) either point to
                        https://ubports.com/community/get-involved
                        or
                        https://ubports.com/de_DE/community/get-involved
                        but both pages give a 404 not found.
                        (BTW, the missing space in "assuranceand" is an exact quote from the page.)

                            They don't work for me. I get a 404. (It's a nice custom error page with ubports logo, but it does say "page not found"). Do you get to see anything else?

                              I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint so nothing out of the ordinary.

                                You mean this "assuranceand"? I see no difference. Cleared my cache and reloaded.

                                I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint so nothing out of the ordinary.

                                I checked with Firefox on Android (today), and Morph on UbuntuTouch (yesterday, different phone network). I'm puzzled why I get to see a different version than you. I even told Firefox to request the desktop version and drop style sheets. I'll try with my "real" computer later this day.
