SimpleEmail

SimpleEmail is Free Software, minimalistic and privacy friendly email app 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

• cannot show conversations
• cannot work offline
• looks outdated
• is not maintained
• stores your email on their servers

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.
