K-9 Mail is my favorite. It will.be renamed in future to Thunderbird, because the developer is now working for them 😊
He is ? Awesome! If we could get a full mobile thunderbird app that would be epic.
Thunderbird made a blog post about it 🐱
Fairemail is pretty much the default android client. Open source, full featured, not bad on the eyes. It just fucking works without hassles.
If anything, the settings are too feature packed, it can take a while to tweak everything if you really want it customized
Agreed. Lots of features - definately worth the effort though.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'm tired of the official app and will try this out instead!
FairMail is very good, and gets updates frequently.
Works great with Gmail, and other mail services.
I installed it. Gonna try it out and see. You're the second person to recommend it.
When not using ProtonMail, I use FairEmail: "Fully featured, open source, privacy oriented email app for Android."
I miss Inbox
It was so much better than Gmail
Another vote for FairMail. I've been using it for a few years at this point and never had a reason to look for an alternative.
I'll probably give K-9 a try when it eventually rebrands as Thunderbird though.
Does FairMail have automatic categorisation (like Gmail / Inbox)?
Experimental feature
Spark. Absolutely adore it. Once I tried it, I've never gone back.
Do you like it's new interface?
I like the Smart 1.0 implementation.
2.0 just hides away a lot of important messages. I have 5 email IDs due to work and other stuff, and I CANNOT figure out how that interface works.
The 1.0 works perfectly.
I'm absolutely agree. I really tried to get used to the new interface, but its a pain.
Also, the new Windows version lacks support of Exchange, and it messes up your accounts on another devices.
Still love it. Not the windows version.
How is K9 better than FairEmail?
Agreed. FairEmail is my goto choice. They're both open source and on F-Droid.
FairEmail does have a $9 license you can buy to add extra features, but even without the license, I found it to be a nicer app than K9.
Nine
Been using for a long time because of the rich text email options. But it is awesome all around. My pick for best of the best.
You're the second person that's recommended nine so I guess I'll give it a shot. Do you know if they collect data from your emails?
Fairemail on android. Thunderbird on pc. K9Mail on android is also good but I prefer fairemail
I just wish Android had a nice email client that was material you and material 3 like Gmail and also wasn't Gmail
Thunderbird - a bit slouchy at times but featurewise I'm very happy with it :)
K9. Super happy in general, apart from push email not working properly most of the time
I used K9 for years but recently switched to FairEmail. Works better in terms of auto-completing addresses, has better sever-side search. Previously it looked horrible compared to K9 but lately it has added Material You and other attractive theming options. It has a rather intimidating level of options but is very powerful. That being said, I still like K9 and will probably continue to check in as they add features and become part of Thunderbird. Both K9 and FairEmail are really good in terms of being ad-free, privacy-respecting clients with unified inboxes, dark mode and other features most important to me. K9 has advantage of being totally free where FairEmail puts some key features behind a purchase, which I understand, as it's a solo developer.
k9 which will be become thunderbird mobile in the future
Tutanota, which is unfortunately my only option with my email provider lol. They have their own client which is really slow and clunky, but it has a simple view with my email, contacts, and calendar. It's all stored e2ee too.
I have a tuta account as well. Their app is very barebones. I support the company though as I believe in their mission.
Same, the app can certainly be painful at times though lol
I use the default Gmail client but i highly recommend K9-Mail.
"Id like an email client with folders or categories."
I tried a few other email clients to see if I could ditch the gmail one (years ago, admittedly), and where those clients fell short for me was they didn't support labels, only folders. Multiple labels can apply to one email, but an email can only belong in one folder.
Does anyone know if things have changed, whether third party clients now support gmail labels?
I like Spark. I've had many interactions with the company and support out of Ukraine and they're always great. Haven't found anything better for my needs.
I love spark for how it helps one curate their inbox. For me it made email slightly useful once again!
Im with Samsung Mail happy.
I still like Aqua. I know.
