I’m tried of how terrible Gmail is. Id like an email client with folders or categories. If it can sort them automatically (like how Googles now defunct inbox app used to) that would be even better.

Edit: in a couple days or whenever the activity on this post slows down. I will update this post with a list of the most recommended email app.

Edit2:

Results are in: Number is the amount of people who specifically mentioned it.

  1. FairMail 6
  2. K-9 5
  3. Spark 2
  4. ProtonMail
  5. Re:work
  6. Nine
  7. Tutanota
  8. Canary Mail
  9. Aqua

K-9 Mail is my favorite. It will.be renamed in future to Thunderbird, because the developer is now working for them 😊

No, it’s a regular email client.
Both require special clients.

I currently use Thunderbird for Protonmail and don’t see any issues. I think you may need to have a paid plan though.

Fairemail is pretty much the default android client. Open source, full featured, not bad on the eyes. It just fucking works without hassles.

If anything, the settings are too feature packed, it can take a while to tweak everything if you really want it customized

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m tired of the official app and will try this out instead!

FairMail is very good, and gets updates frequently.

Works great with Gmail, and other mail services.

When not using ProtonMail, I use FairEmail: “Fully featured, open source, privacy oriented email app for Android.”

These are the guys who pluralize one of ‘traffic’, ‘help’ or ‘email’ with an S like it’s not stupid?

Me too. Of all the Google products that they cancelled, inbox hurt the most.
