@GrapheneOS Android 17 introduces a new permission ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK and when my phone upgraded to it, FairEmail lost the ability to connect to my email server at home.

I always like how Mat's book was online so now mine can join that cool club. I'll echo what I say on the site: Thanks to Jeff Eaton for…
