FairEmail

FairEmail - Fully featured, open source, privacy oriented email app for Android

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looks outdated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.

NonFreeNet: Google Play Store access.

Tracking: BugSnag (disabled by default).

Anti-Features:

NonFreeNet: This application promotes or entirely depends a non-Free network service.
Tracking: The application tracks and reports your activity to somewhere – usually either without your consent, or by default (i.e. you’d have to actively disable it). It’s commonly used for when developers obtain crash logs without the user’s consent, or when an app is useless without some kind of authentication.
