FairEmail

Open source, privacy friendly email app

This email app might be for you if your current email app:

takes long to receive or show messages
can manage only one email address
cannot show conversations
cannot work offline
looks outdated
is not maintained
stores your email on their servers
is closed source, potentially violating your privacy

This app is minimalistic by design, so you can concentrate on reading and writing messages.

This app starts a foreground service with a low priority status bar notification to make sure you'll never miss new email.
