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

    K-9 Mail is my favorite. It will.be renamed in future to Thunderbird, because the developer is now working for them 😊

    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

    FairMail is very good, and gets updates frequently.

    Works great with Gmail, and other mail services.

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

    Another vote for FairMail. I’ve been using it for a few years at this point and never had a reason to look for an alternative.

    I’ll probably give K-9 a try when it eventually rebrands as Thunderbird though.

        I like the Smart 1.0 implementation.

        2.0 just hides away a lot of important messages. I have 5 email IDs due to work and other stuff, and I CANNOT figure out how that interface works.

        The 1.0 works perfectly.

          I’m absolutely agree. I really tried to get used to the new interface, but its a pain.

          Also, the new Windows version lacks support of Exchange, and it messes up your accounts on another devices.

          Still love it. Not the windows version.

            I prefer the original Mail and Calendar app that came with Windows 10.

            But Microsoft being Microsoft, abandoned their own app dev platform to essentially just make a web app instead. Apparently, native apps are just too much to ask for these days. 🙄

    Been using for a long time because of the rich text email options. But it is awesome all around. My pick for best of the best.

    • 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.

        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.

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

    I’ll be honest: the Mail app on macOS is pretty darn good. Simple and not bloated.

    Otherwise, Thunderbird on Linux.

      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.

    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.

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