FairMail is an insanely good Email-App. I have little to compare to, but it's sick how good FairMail is. I'd be surprised if there is something comparably good.

- jcul 4y agoYes it's such a good piece of software, and you can really tell it's a labour of love. It's sad to see that the Dev is stopping work on it because they seemed quite passionate and responsive. I paid for the pro version to support the app and usually install it from F-Droid but I guess losing the exposure of the play store is a huge blow.
- Aachen 4y agoFairEmail and K9 are the only real options on mobile that I know of if you want open source. Comparing the two, I'm much happier on FairEmail though K9 wasn't bad either. Particularly the link dialog is nice and helps avoid tracking or accidental taps sometimes.
- m-p-3 4y agoApparently Thunderbird is coming soon, but who knows how good it will be on mobile.
- drKarl 4y agoI used K-9 for a long time until I upgraded my phone and K-9 wasn't supported on the newer version of Android so I switched to Faire mail. Has K-9 been updated to support newer versions of Android?
- NoGravitas 4y agoI'm running it on LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12), so it must have been.
- stevesimmons 4y agoK-9 version 6.0 came out last month.
- g_p 4y agoI don't think K9 supports XOAUTH authentication over IMAP/SMTP yet [0], which is increasingly widely required by mail services. [0] https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/issues/655 https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/issues/655
- forbiddenlake 4y agoAccording to that bug report, K-9 plans to add this support in the next version! (it was added to the milestone 17 days ago, but also updated today after the Fairemail news)
- aerique 4y agoI really like AquaMail but the free version is ad-supported and the paid version is rather expensive.
- spicybright 4y agoMind giving us a few bullet points of what you like about it most?
- forbiddenlake 4y agoFor me, I moved off of K-9 to Fairemail for one reason: OAUTH support. One of my accounts uses Outlook 365 and disabled support for IMAP (and did not allow app passwords).
