What's your favorite email client?

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

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

Rambler,

Agreed. Lots of features - definately worth the effort though.

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.

couragethebravedog,

I installed it. Gonna try it out and see. You’re the second person to recommend it.

Feugnis,

Still have this post saved waiting for the list…

couragethebravedog,

Fineeeee, I’ll do it.

Feugnis,

Thanks!

Re:work. If you need Exchange connectivity look no further. It has a subscription model, but there’s absolutely nothing better than it. Made my the same company that made the previous Exchange king, Nine.

I used K9 for years but recently switched to FairEmail. Works better in terms of auto-completing addresses, has better sever-side search. Previously it looked horrible compared to K9 but lately it has added Material You and other attractive theming options. It has a rather intimidating level of options but is very powerful. That being said, I still like K9 and will probably continue to check in as they add features and become part of Thunderbird. Both K9 and FairEmail are really good in terms of being ad-free, privacy-respecting clients with unified inboxes, dark mode and other features most important to me. K9 has advantage of being totally free where FairEmail puts some key features behind a purchase, which I understand, as it’s a solo developer.

soulfirethewolf,

I just wish Android had a nice email client that was material you and material 3 like Gmail and also wasn’t Gmail

redditReallySucks,

Fairemail on android. Thunderbird on pc. K9Mail on android is also good but I prefer fairemail

I like Spark. I’ve had many interactions with the company and support out of Ukraine and they’re always great. Haven’t found anything better for my needs.

corstian,

I love spark for how it helps one curate their inbox. For me it made email slightly useful once again!

baatliwala,

I miss Inbox

It was so much better than Gmail

couragethebravedog,

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

    jsnfwlr,

    You are responding to a post on an Android community with recommendations for macOS and Linux mail clients, without any mention of an Android mail client.

    Scrollone,

    Sorry! I’m still learning how to use this. I’ll delete my comment

    ChrissieWF,

    Thunderbird - a bit slouchy at times but featurewise I’m very happy with it :)

    • On Android: K9Mail. By far the best.
    • On Linux: ThunderBird. It’s bloated like an obese whale on cortisone but I’ve yet to see a better client.
    Tramdan,

    How is K9 better than FairEmail?

    Futurama,

    Agreed. FairEmail is my goto choice. They’re both open source and on F-Droid.

    FairEmail does have a $9 license you can buy to add extra features, but even without the license, I found it to be a nicer app than K9.

    Tired8281,

    I still like Aqua. I know.

    Psythik,

    Are you a Barbie Girl? Or a Cartoon Hero?

    Tired8281,

    Maybe I’m both?

    K9. Super happy in general, apart from push email not working properly most of the time

    FutileRecipe,

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

    corsicanguppy,

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