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- looks outdated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. See also this FAQ.
