fanfan54 added No Tracking as a feature to FairEmail
This is an excellent app. It strikes a balance between being intuitive with a robust set of features to give users lots of control.
The maintainer responds promptly to questions, bug reports and feature requests. There are new releases coming out regularly. I love the unified inbox and the swipe gestures. It makes it really easy to stay on top of things.
Really, I can't recommend this app more.
Many features, neatly arranged. I'm donating.
Simple look but effective work
Fast, secure, customizable, etc. A great app!
Without a doubt, the best Thunderbird alternative for Android devices
FairEmail manages to do everything Thunderbird can on a mobile platform, making it the best option for an on-the-go e-mail client that will not fail to disappoint on any level, and it's free which makes it the best possible deal for a secure, mobile e-mail client.
Wholeheartedly recommended.
Best alternative to
Thunderbird on a phone. Extremely feature-rich, with support for multiple sender identities for each account, fine-grained sync and notification settings, a conversation view, and tracking pixel blocking.
First impression after installing it today for the first time is the impressive list of set up and configuration options and the integration for email encryption right from the start. Love its Open Source approach!
