E-Mail-App for Android with Exchange / Activesync (lemmy.world)

I need my work emails on my mobile. They only work with Exchange/Activesync. IMAP is not an option. Is there a good, privacy respecting app for Android out there? I would like if I could use the same app for my other E-Mails which all use IMAP. I now use Gmail, but I hate the unnecessary connection with the big G. I'd also prefer not to use Outlook (mobile) because it (might) send your credentials to MS.

I tried. They must be still working on it because I could not find the possibility to add an Exchange-Account

#Microsoft Exchange support

We’re very very very close!

So far we have the main flow completed, and we’re able to set up an account, fetch folders, fetch messages, and display messages. We’re finalizing the outgoing flow in order to send messages, and after that we will start an audit to ensure that all the usual features you expect from interacting with your email are working.

Expect some future call to actions to test things and invites to switch the experimental pref ON.

There was something in one of the recent blogs about it also coming to Android, but I can't find it. Sadly though, it looks like it's months out, rather than weeks. Sorry to get your hopes up.

There is still a spark of hope... If this is really coming I might just wait for it. Thank you for your research!

#Will there be Exchange support for Thunderbird for Android?

Yes! Implementing Exchange in Rust in the Thunderbird Desktop client will enable us to reuse those Rust crates as shared libraries with the Mobile client. Stay up to date on Exchange support progress via our monthly Developer Digests.
