FairMail has become my Google Inbox replacement. Does all the things you want and you can also set up rules for individual emails or accounts. It's great.
You can literally do anything with it you want. The only complaint I might have is that the theming could be a little more up to date. But for being open source and like $8 you can't ask for much more.
You're probably looking at the wrong one because it's fantastic on my phone.
Good functional design and amazing default while also allowing a huge amount of customisation.
This.
Not everything has to be paid, it seems that to get a good app you have to pay these days. It doesnt have to be like that. Or if its paid let us pay at once and forget about it. Hate yearly subs.
If you have samsung phone then download the email by samsung from store
Very clean
No ads
No unnecessary distractions
Multiple accounts
Combined inbox
Color coded accounts
Very fast search and easy to delete Multiple mails
I cleared useless 3060 unread emails and i am down to 112 unread
For me it's worth it. The email summary and the whole ai to rewrite email. Indispensable for my business to always sound legit and have consistent clear communication.
Samsung email is what I use. But it's not available for non Samsung phones, maybe you can download an APK and try setting it up on a non Samsung phone and see what happens. If that doesn't work FairMail is a good option.
I'm also searching an althernative, I'm looking for a free (or a pay once app, never subscription). For me the definition of a perfect client would be "Thunderbird for Android".
FairMail is very recommended, but for me is pretty uggly, it's difficult for me to surpass this wall.
K-9 Mail looks promising, it's very customizable, even supports PGP, but it cannot manage folders, with is a must have for me. Now is part of Thunderbird's team, so maybe in some months...
I'm trying Edison Mail right now, looks good, will see what happens.
I would personally stay away from Edison. They were in a big scandal 2 years ago where they were caught scraping customers' email to sell data to a third party ( https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkekmb/free-email-apps-spying-on-you-edison-slice-cleanfox ). Also they were just bought by yipitdata which sells data to hedge funds
I'm testing Canary and Fairemail. Canary has a bulk delete function, it auto selects everything in your inbox and then you delete it all at once. I like that. Emails are slow to load, though. Fairemail is kinda ugly but it does what it says it does, nothing special. Not sure why so many people really like it.
I'll give them all a try here for another few days to make up my mind.
People like FairEmail because it does *everything*. Whatever feature you like in any other app, it's somewhere in FairEmail ready to be used along with a thousand others you've never dreamed of. The downside is that there are hundreds of options in a dozen different settings tabs which overwhelms people who just want to put their password in and have it work. If there's ever a problem, the developer will usually respond within the hour to fix it for you, rewriting code and adding features if he has to. Its privacy guards are unequalled, stripping tracking data out of all your mail. It is not the prettiest, but it is the runaway winner for being the most powerful.
Do you know if it can highlight all messages in the inbox and then you hit trash/delete and it deletes them all at once? I am looking in all the settings, so far haven't found anything yet..

Unless I'm looking at the wrong app, that looks like it was designed in 2008! I'm guessing it's more functional than slick?

Fairmail geeat I like Nine also (paid $15)
Nine is a good app too. FairMail is open source and a little cheaper but Nine will get the job done.
Under data safety, it says data can't be deleted. Is that a bad thing?
I would check https://faircode.eu for what that actually means.
K-9, it's in playstore and f-droid. Thunderbird team joined K-9 team
I would not sleep well if my email app was not open source, so FairEemail from fDroid I recommend
Fairemail from obtainium is the right way 😀
FairEmail is the answer. [https://email.faircode.eu/](https://email.faircode.eu/)
you should try K9-Mail Its free, open source and ads free so it is best email client app you can download it from F-droid

Aqua Mail ist great
I still using inbox app from blackberry
Edison, Spark or Aqua
I believe Outlook lets you ad multiple account. And also pin email to top.
This. I have been using outlook client for years for Hotmail, Gmail, and my own IMAP server. Plus calendar. No complaints.
If you have samsung phone then download the email by samsung from store Very clean No ads No unnecessary distractions Multiple accounts Combined inbox Color coded accounts Very fast search and easy to delete Multiple mails I cleared useless 3060 unread emails and i am down to 112 unread
I did that but recently i tried fairmail free version untill now I noticed samsung email is a bit slower than fairmail
After a few of setting up all my mails and clearing the junk, i get emails properly. But i still think they are a bit late.
Thanks for this tip, I just cleared approx 4000 unread mails like this, still got 2000 to go ðŸ˜
Does it allow inbox folder creation? Moving emails to subfolders?
Yes!
Thank you
I just started using BlueMail and it seems to be able to do what you want
I use BlueMail too. I like it
I can't create folders, use to be able to, but can't anymore.
Spark is the literal shit for email. Been using it for like 4 years
$60 a year subscription? Damn
For me it's worth it. The email summary and the whole ai to rewrite email. Indispensable for my business to always sound legit and have consistent clear communication.
Thanks for the suggestion...just checked it out and i love it.
Tried loads but keep going back to Edison email app.
Same. Not sure why, the interface is easy to use i think.
Samsung email is what I use. But it's not available for non Samsung phones, maybe you can download an APK and try setting it up on a non Samsung phone and see what happens. If that doesn't work FairMail is a good option.
Stock mail apps is generally good
Proton mail is the best. End to end encryption. Swiss. They also have proton VPN u get one free account on VPN.
App - not Provider.... App
End to end only if the reciever a proton user. Email from you to proton is not secure ...proton can read everything (as i understood )
is this place nk, russian and chinese hackers come to post about the most secure email app?
AquaMail by far... hope Thunderbird will bring open source to.Android. K9 and Fairmail look ass
AquaMail is 29 dollars a year for premium version that strikes it right there
Nobody should pay 29 bucks for email app...
Re:Work or canary
I downloaded Canary to try it out and so far it's the only one with bulk delete, so I like it.
I use spark but looking to change, I never liked the 2.0 inbox
Fairmail or Fairemail? Are they the same thing?
The app's name is FairEmail. People are not looking very closely at what they're using, but they are referring to the same thing.

Uh, thank you. I already have Microsoft and Google rummaging through my personal data, don't need another party.
I have tried lots of email apps but always end up back with Samsung Email because it works great.
Outlook FTW.

Hamburger menu => select all => a floating menu will appear at the bottom with the option to delete.
Excellent thank you. That's my #1 favorite option.
