From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not tried the app version. Been using Fairemail for a while now, since k9 was unmaintained.
Fairemail is well maintained. Quick. Supports multiple accounts very well. Loads of features (could be a downside for those who like things simple). Designed with security and privacy as top priorities right from the start. Open source development. For a long time its been the best email client on Android IMHO.
+1 for fairmail. Never have I seen an app so functional yet so ugly at the same time.
The same could be said for K-9. What more could you want from an email app.
Last time I checked, K-9 didn't have OAUTH integration.
Granted, it's been a few years, so that may have changed since then.
As much as I don't like Gmail, I need it for work so it's kinda important for productivity software to support that.
Edit: Nvm. Looks like they finally added OAUTH last year. Better late than never.
I moved from K9 to FairEmail too, and I think I'll be staying as long as it's maintained. I particularly like the focus on privacy.
I like how K-9 hooks directly into OpenKeychain for encryption. Does Fairemail do that?
Yes.
