Started getting tired of the ads in gmail, so last week switched to K9 Mail. Liking it so far.

Apparentlly they collaborate with Thunderbird so there will be Thunderbird for Android
Mine stopped sending emails all of a sudden this weeks. Are you able to send emails using k9 with a gmail account?
FairMail is great, and gets updates frequently.
Definitely going to try this one out. I love a good open source email client.
I use FairEmail. The free version already has fairly advanced features, it's open source and ad free, and you can customize it to your liking. Even the paid version is not a ripoff and feels like you are actually supporting the developer instead of throwing money at a greedy company.
I've tried a few times I just can't get myself to like the UI
K9mail. Mozilla collaborates with the dev. There'll be a Thunderbird for Android based on k9mail.
Bluemail is my app of choice. I have four different email accounts and like how easy it is to manage each of them.
I like Microsoft Android Apps, and I always felt like Outlook is pretty good if you have O365. Zero complaints.
I bought Nine and used it for a while, but I just felt like it was a bit too cluttered for an email app.
I like aquamail but am not sure what is going on with already purchased paid accounts right now.
I'm using aquamail too, also paid for pro.
It seems like we will be able to keep the current features we have, but new ones might not be available unless we enter into a subscription model.

Tutanota has been great.
Is there an email client that can sort emails by Primary, Social, and Promotions like how the Gmail client does? Also when using another client to send an email, all the email contacts don't get autofilled like how gmail has it.
I've just started using spark, and it seems pretty close.
It has 'newsletters' which is basically 'promotions', and 'notifications' which is more of the important stuff like eBay & Amazon receipts and Google security notifications because you signed into a new email app 😂
Protonmail is my favorite email app/service. I've been using it the last 2 years and it's been a great experience.
I liked Spark, and right now I use E-mail by Edison. Clunky name, but good solid email app. Nice UI, multiple accounts.
I find Spark mail to have the best UI
Agreed, I've tried plenty of Email clients over the past couple of years and keep going back to Spark.
Ooof. I guess I'm just too old school: I hate the idea of "renting" software.
I don't pay for Spark so idk what you mean
Altho I'm not opposed to paying for software if it means funding ongoing development and improvement
I use protonmail and have a paid account there. They have filters that can automatically move mails to folders or give them a label.
I used Nine for work email for years; it has the fewest "deal-breakers" in an email app that I've ever tried. Unfortunately, my company changed to Exchange Online and now only allows the official Outlook app.
As someone else mentioned, it's UI is maybe a little cluttered. However, it's also got the all the features I wanted. If you favor clean UI over features, look elsewhere. Otherwise, it's worth the price of admission.
I want features more than anything else lol You're at least the third person to recommend nine, so I'm going to go ahead and install it, thanks!
Been using Nine on my personal device, as Outlook was horrible at syncing with IMAP accounts (only synced on demand, never in the background). On my work device, I do use Outlook, but with an O365 account it does work as intended.
Another nice thing with Nine is you can configure it to not wipe your whole device if your admins decide to do that to you.
Absolutely true. Sad thing is my company only allowd for Outlook as a mail client, so using Nine for my work mail isn't an option.
I love Apple mail. Super fast search through years of email, easy drag and drop between accounts, nice redirect feature. Unfortunately, I’m a Windows user at home and just can’t switch for one email client. I do use Macs at work though. Yeah, Gmail is a drag.
You’re in the android community, Apple mail is only available on iOS and macOS
