FairEmail, privacy aware email Description
FairEmail is easy to set up and works with virtually all email providers, including Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo!

FairEmail might be for you if you value your privacy.

FairEmail is simple to use, but if you are looking for a very simple email app, FairEmail might not be the right choice.

FairEmail is an email client only, so you need to bring your own email address. FairEmail is not a calendar/contact/task/note manager and cannot make you coffee.

FairEmail does not support non-standard protocols, like Microsoft Exchange Web Services and Microsoft ActiveSync.

Almost all features are free to use, but to maintain and support the app in the long term, not every feature can be for free. See below for a list of pro features.

A lot of effort has gone into this mail app, which was developed to help you protect your privacy. If you have a question or problem, there is always support at marcel@faircode.eu.

Comments about FairEmail, privacy aware email Android Version
So far, so good! It does take a little while to get all of the settings straightened out and may drain your battery quickly or use a lot of data, depending on what you decide to set them at, but I LOVE the amount of options! I haven't noticed any ads obstructing your message view (switching from Yahoo bec. I can't stand the ads that I accidentally ended up clicking on). I wish there could be a toolbar on the bottom for message actions though. I'll update my review as needed.
The gold standard. To say that this app is impressive is an understatement. It is a monumental achievement, a painstaking perfectionist approach, a labor of love! The amount of granular control you have at your disposal is incredible, the app fully lives up to its promise to be privacy friendly, giving you options not even available in fully fledged desktop programs! It is built with the latest SDK, updated regularly. And the developer is incredibly kind, knowledgeable and responsive, bravo!!
As some have pointed out, there is a lot of settings/options to go through. But who said you have to do all of them at once? Make a point to do a page (or half/part a page) a day, and before you know it, you'll eventually either become familiar with many opts, or have made the necessary changes you needed. It is near impossible to meet the wide variety of needs and taste without a lot of setting options. I was able to set up Fairmail to allow me to mind the new emails--thats all "I" need.
