SimpleEmail
SimpleEmail is Free Software, minimalistic and privacy friendly email app for Android.
This project has been forked from FairEmail.
This email app might be for you if your current email app:
- takes long to receive or show messages
- can manage only one email address
- cannot show conversations
- cannot work offline
- looks outdated
- is not maintained
- stores your email on their servers
- is closed source, potentially violating your privacy
This app is minimalistic by design, so you can concentrate on reading and writing messages.
This app starts a foreground service with a low priority status bar notification to make sure you'll never miss new email.
