I have been using Outlook for the longest time and have tried FairEmail a couple of times and simply deleted it. Tried sticking through it for about a month and I’ll be sticking with it for a good long time now :)

I quite like using K-9 Mail, it merged with Thunderbird and great things are coming for it, I think it’s awesome
Another vote for K9 mail. One of the few android email clients that allows pgp keys.
first time I hear about K-9, glad I read this!
Do you know why its Google Play rating is so abysmal? Everyone seems furious about some redesign, but lemmy loves it.
Redesigns are always perceived poorly. Every decrease in performance, every lost feature, every relocated setting is heavily felt by all the power-users. For new users tho, K9 probably became more viable/attractive.
Eventually people will get used to the design, performance issues will get fixed, new features will be (re)added and the rating will improve again.
Same thing happened with the Firefox Android Browser.
The problem I have with K9 is that the great things have been coming for the past decade - even before the Thunderbird thing
Gmail because I’m super boring and it works.
Except that now I have to use Outlook too cause Uni moved from Google to Outlook
I REALLY liked the Inbox app they made for gmail. Sadly, like all the best things google makes, it went the way of the dinosaurs.
I’m still sour about Inbox being end of life’d :(
I want Inbox back :(
Don’t worry, they are going to integrate all the features from inbox into Gmail. Any day now.
Just a few weeks I’m sure
That was the only brief moment in time where I had actually cleared out my inbox. Now it’s just a nightmare.
You can add an outlook account to the gmail app. You may have to add it as Microsoft exchange instead of a regular Outlook account though, but the process is the same.
I suggest you use Outlook Lite instead of the normal Outlook. It’s a lot lighter and will not prompt you to add any MDM profiles if your institution set any up
Also Gmail, because the spam filtering is great.
I keep a copy in Thunderbird though, just in case my account ‘goes away’ somehow.
Same! I do have k9 and Thunderbird but Gmail is just so convenient with filters and labels too!
Please don’t hate me, but I use the Gmail app on Android since it works well enough.
On my desktop though I use Thunderbird, and have for about as long as I can remember.
K9 mail on Android since many years and Thunderbird on laptop, also since many years. Also use Gmail, Yahoo Mail.
Thunderbird is the best. Been using it since many years and had no major issues.
+1 vote for Thunderbird
K-9 on Android, Thunderbird on desktop!
second thunderbird!
I use ProtonMail. Additionally, i have set up e-mail aliases with my domain - i get e-mail addresses like [email protected], or [email protected]. Its quite useful when i suddenly get sent a bunch of random spam e-mail.
I can then just block that e-mail from receving e-mail, its quite handy.
Nine, best for a full Outlook experience and a calendar color picker
Hello, fellow Nine user! Glad to see at least some other people are aware of it.
Same, it’s great! It also works well on a tablet.
- Android - K-9 mail
- Desktop - Thunderbird
Soon to be Thunderbird on both ;)
If they enable sync between desktop and mobile versions, it will be awesome
Synchronise what exactly? Emails should already sync via IMAP.
I like FairEmail on Android and don’t see myself switching to something else anytime soon. For the desktop I use Thunderbird
K9 Mail is my favorite one so far. I’ve tried FairEmail but the UI was confusing.
I mean, thunderbird has been around forever and it’s never done me dirty.
Same here, It’s the second thing I install on a new computer, the first being Firefox.
Every morning when I turn on the computer, I start Firefox and Thunderbird, and then leave Thunderbird in the background, quietly doing its job.
ProtonMail, Simple Login, and FairEmail.
I use k9 mail for my personal mail.
I use FairEmail, too. I didn’t like GMail and K9.
I used FairMail. Nice and minimalistic with focus on security and privacy. Also OpenSource. Bought premium back then I had it. (I don’t have Android anymore , that’s why I can’t use it)
What didn’t you like about K-9? I used FairEmail for a while and was happy enough with it, but K-9 seemed like a huge upgrade when I finally made the switch.
For me personally, K9’s design seemed very unintuitive and complicated, when I first tried it almost 10 years ago. FairEmail for me is a great compromise between usability and feature-richness.
K9 is probably completely different from a decade ago, but I guess I will wait until K9 has merged completely with Thunderbird, before I look into it again.
