With regards to traditional users of K-9 Mail, I’m sure some of you are unhappy, like I was unhappy about BlackBerry shutdown it’s servers, otherwise I would still be using it. Also I hope this will help to fight against Google when important features need to be reviewed, I’m sure Google will be more willing to review&approve code when Mozilla asks for it, rather than someone from K-9. I am super excited to hear that Thunderbird took K9 Mail under it’s wing and I hope that it will bring additional firepower in terms of developer involvement, fixing push so that it works seamlessly and improve that ugly 3.2 star user rating on Google play. There is still long ways to go to meet BlackBerry level, like when push doesn’t drain battery and you don’t have to worry and manually refresh to make sure there are no new emails that sync didn’t get. I now use K-9 Mail (what a name!) because it’s more or less clean UI, doesn’t have ads and is based on open source. And they all were - display huge ads, steal user info, look ugly, or just clunky UI and annoying to work with. Now, when I was forced to migrate due to BlackBerry shutdown in Jan 2022 I tested many apps on Android: Outlook, Bluemail, Aquamail, Gmail, etc, etc. But many of us saw the gmane economics play out.I am a BlackBerry covert to Android and I can say that BlackBerry had the best email functionality of all phones, Android is just a joke in comparison, but I digress. Kinda like I wish LWN were available via nntps. I wish I could finish my Gnus customizations as well (show number new since last entering a group), but the same applies. But I also don't really have the time to *make* my own modifications. I do wish there were a way to build your own modifications while keeping ActiveSync (blech, yuck, but work). YMMV.Īnd FairEmail was removed by teh Goog for a bit for something silly. I mostly use my phone and PineNote for email triage. The author doesn't hide how to enable things yourself. If you have a device that does not or cannot use that app store. If you pay through an app store, your authorizations are linked to that store. I've paid once so far, and likely will again. He doesn't hide how to enable features in the code. You do lose the ActiveSync bit, of course, but that's not up to the author. And if you feel like building your own, you don't need to pay.
