Sane default configuration, minimal UI, all the features you could wish for (and a lot more unlockable by a small, one-time payment), theme synchronising with android to name a few features that stand out about this app. It really feels professional and consistent in design. Granted, there is somewhat of a learning curve to the finer control it gives you, but you'll reap the benefits of this app once you've learned to use it.

I am loving this app! I have tried many other email apps in the past & had just come off of a long stint with the Gmail app, but this one is the best, in my opinion. It's the fastest, most consolidated, most efficient, & most importantly, for me, uses the least amount of internal storage to run! That's the primary reason that I've uninstalled many of the others; too many are HUGE storage monopolizers! This one is NOT! Finally, this one has excellent tech support! Yes, I'm very pleased.

I really like the privacy elements built into this email app. Tracking efforts by marketing messages are disabled. Email is stripped down to basics until you ask for the program to show the extras. The interface is minimal but very effective. I use this to monitor purchases, shipping, and therefore marketing emails. You will have an adjustment period coming from a different app, but you will be happy you moved to this one.

Just what I'd been looking for. Good security features and quite informative as well. And a feature I have not seen in other mobile apps and was hoping to find: you can inspect the message headers (though not the full source). I would say the best solution I've seen for a security-conscious geek like me. Worth getting the full featured version for a modest one-time contribution. Low battery usage. No ads! Good work! 👍 PS a calendar with caldav support to go with it would be just great...

Marcel is the man! This is by far the best Android email client. I use multiple Office 365 and IMAP accounts. It's amazing how blazingly fast FairEmail searches through them and actually finds what you're after! Try that in Outlook! Also the configureability is unparalleled. I wish Marcel was going to develop a Calendar app, with MS Teams integration, in a similar way as FairEmail. That would be another winner :-D.

The best secure, privacy oriented email app in the store, hands down!! I know that some people are scared of this app settings but this app works just fine w/o even touching one setting. I've been using this app (paid) for some time now and if you are concerned about your privacy and looking for an app that just works no matter what, search no more... download FairMail!

About this app

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 simple to use, but if you are looking for a very simple email app, FairEmail might not be the right choice.

FairEmail is an email client only, so you need to bring your own email address. FairEmail is not a calendar/contact/task/note manager and cannot make you coffee.

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.
