About

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 an email client only, so you need to bring your own email address. 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. This app is deliberately 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 emails.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The ease of setup, configuration, and multitude of settings along with IMHO a good design makes it a joy to use. In addition the Pro Features are given with just a little donation, just under $8 at the time of this writing. It works with your own custom email and Gmail, although I keep Gmail separate from FairEmail as Google does a fine job as well. Documentation is extensive which is always a welcoming fact. RTFM.

Cons

  • Many ways to install, Play store, f-droid, GitHub builds, etc. Though this is not unique when trying to get the Pro Features to work after a reinstallation it can prove annoying. One of the pros was many options/settings, but on occasion this is a con too... either conflicts or not being able to find what you need.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - It looks nice, when it works - Has a free, VERY BASIC version which is rather a con than a pro since it's so very basic
  • It doesn't randomly lose connection to SMTP servers like Apple Mail. It doesn't crash like Apple Mail.
  • Looks good. Good integration between devices. Unlike Craig N's review, I didn't have the loading issues he did on Macs.
  • I like that I can organize my emails by priority, files, or account. I can flag emails with different colors and or priorities. It is easy to add and modify the signature.

Cons

  • - Freezes up daily to where you have to force close it - The premium license is yearly and you cannot outright buy the license like with other mail clients - The basic features are VERY basic, but in Gmail and Microsoft web email you get the premium features that Spark offers for free. Spark wants to charge you for these basic features which shows pure greed. - Customer service is lacking if not nearly nonexistent
  • It uses some GOOFY "smart" email inbox that makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. An indicator on the inbox shows a number of supposedly unread emails, but they do not correspond to anything in the real world. No physical folders or rules like Outlook or even Apple Mail to channel important emails. It has some sort of "smart" routing but I've never been able to get it to work like the old school email apps (Outlook or Gmail). The app is almost non-functional on iPhone. It takes forever to load (I do have a lot of archived emails) and sometimes doesn't load at all. But the iOS email app or the Gmail app are both very functional. Back to the desktop version. It often takes awhile to open or close the app. I don't like how it freezes sometimes when you're deleting multiple emails. And there is no easy way to select all emails from a particular sender and delete at once (a technique I use to get rid of subscription emails or junk email). Yet I still pay for this app because the native Apple email client is total garbage. HEH the most cash-flush company in the freaking world and they can't fix their email client.
  • The most important feature in a spam filled world is blocking. Spark wants to charge $13 / email per month. Sorry Spark but that is bordering on extortion.
  • It takes what seems like forever to load. And to rub salt in the wound on the screen is says "Love your email again" while I wait and wait and wait. Only works on iPhone and iPad not on my PC.
