Fairemail is currently the top for foss email on Android. K9 may take that spot now that there's someone actively working on it with goals in mind. Thunderbird is a really solid client, so if they put similar time into k9 (but please, leave the icon lol), it may end up blowing everything else away, even the non-FOSS options.
K-9 seems promising, it is acquired by thunderbird and planning to become thunderbird bird mobile. It has office 365 support, but IIRC it is pretty convoluted to add a office 365 account. https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/com.fsck.k9/
Another alternative is fairmail: https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/eu.faircode.email/ , developed by the developer of netguard.
Ah i trust thunderbird !
I used to use K9 long time ago, but had issues with notifications not working properly. I've been using something not FOSS which was OK but I wasn't 100% happy with. After reading about FairEmail on another thread the other day, I've now adopted that and so far it is working great. It has way too many options though!
I generally dont want notifs on the email anyway ! I have the official gmail app on my android and i dont get them notifications
k-9 is good for storing gmail accounts ig
FairEmail is also recommended by many. It has even more functions, but is therefore also a bit more complicated.
Using K-9 and quite liking it, otherwise just browse F-droid everything there is Foss.
Yeah i have fdroid already and have replaced 90 percent of my apps with f droid apps !
I use fairemail
Thank you for the recommendation, just downloaded it and this looks amazing!
It's incredible how long it has taken me to find something with customizable notification actions and sufficient options! This is the first time I've ever been able to have new email notifications with both Archive and Spam options.
Same question but for Mac and iPhone ;)
Just use the standard Mail app, it's pretty good
I use FairEmail for years now and it's not the best looking app on my phone but works great and I never had a single issue!
