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.
Yes, I use K-9 for my outlook/365 accounts and it works fine. I also have my NAVER account there but I can’t send emails because I’ve been too lazy to configure the SMTP settings properly.
K-9 is being used as the base for Thunderbird for Android but it isn’t there yet. FairEmail is a lot closer in functionality at the moment.
I use Thunderbird for Gmail (among other accounts) and it has to regularly compress my Gmail box, which none of the Android clients do - in my experience, Aqua Mail, K-9 and FairEmail all struggle with a decent sized Gmail mailbox after a while.
One or two years ago Mozilla hired the main developer of K-9 Mail. The dev previously raised enough donations to work on K-9 Mail for a while and modernize it after not having an official release for years.
I think I’ve been using K-9 Mail for 10+ years or something. The settings were kind of all over the place but it has always been one of the email clients with the most features.
It requires 2-step verification which requires a phone number, security key or google prompt for google accounts. Hard pass :D edit: i stand corrected, this seems to have been changed
Used to. Prefer Aquamail. I’m a thunderbird user on my workstation though. The latest changes were controversial, but it’s fine once you enable the system title bar and hide the menu bar.
