FairEmail is easy to set up and works with virtually all email providers, including Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo!

FairEmail might be for you if you value your privacy.

FairEmail is an email client only, so you need to bring your own email address.

FairEmail does not support non-standard protocols, like Microsoft Exchange Web Services and Microsoft ActiveSync.

  • Battery friendly
  • Low data usage
  • Small (<30 MB)
  • Material design (including dark/black theme)

This app is deliberately 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 emails.

Downloads

Supported download locations:

Please see this FAQ about the differences between the different releases.

Important: after enrolling in the Advanced Protection Program you cannot use third party email apps anymore, please see this FAQ for more information.

The Gmail quick setup wizard can be used in official releases only (Play store or GitHub) because Google approved the use of OAuth for one app signature only.

Important: Gsuite accounts authorized with a username/password will stop working in the near future. Gsuite accounts authorized with the quick setup wizard (OAuth) will keep working.

To download a GitHub release you might need to expand the assets section to download the APK file.

The GitHub version is being updated more often than the Play store version. The GitHub release will automatically check for updates on GitHub (this can be turned off in the miscellaneous settings).

F-Droid builds new versions irregularly and you'll need the F-Droid client to get update notifications. To get updates in a timely fashion you are advised to use the GitHub release.

Important: There is support on the F-Droid build only if the version number of the F-Droid build is the same as the version number of the latest GitHub release. Please see here for more information on third-party builds.

Because F-Droid builds and GitHub releases are signed differently, an F-Droid build needs to be uninstalled first to be able to update to a GitHub release.

One line command to display certificate fingerprints:

I do not hand over the signing keys of my apps to Google. Please see this Google blog and this article for more information.

Compatibility

FairEmail requires at least Android 5 Lollipop.

FairEmail is supported on smartphones and tablets only, and for example not on E Ink devices.

Individual message notifications are available on Android 7 Nougat and later only because earlier Android versions do not support notification grouping.

Notification settings (sounds) per account/folder/sender are available on Android 8 Oreo and later only because earlier Android versions do not support notification channels.

FairEmail will work properly on devices without any Google service installed.

Please see here for known problems.
