#143887 — Recommandations for mail-app

Hi

My 2 newest android phones both use a standard Gmail-ap that is 
unreliable getting mail from one of my accounts. Less than half of the 
mails are coming in. So I would like to get recomandations for a simple 
ap without ads, that can handle 3-4 accounts. It does not have to be 
free, but free from ads and malware.

Best regards
--

K-9 is easy enough and rocksolid but you should first double check
 that everything it's ok with your google account.
If you can't get mail on the standard app, maybe there is
 something to fix at your gmail account.

Bear in mind that the Google "GMail" app on Android can't be used if you
set up your phone WITHOUT a Google mothership tracking account on the
phone.

You can have as many Google Accounts as you like (I have tons of them, for
example) but I'm talking about the one account set up in the phone (my
phone has none).

The first time you use the GMail app on Android, the moment you log into
that Google Account with the Gmail app, the app UNILATERALLY (without
asking you!) *creates* a Google Account on your Android phone.

Worse, it uploads your contacts, again, WITHOUT ASKING YOU first.
You can turn that off subsequently, but they ALREADY HAVE THEM by then.

What's the point?

If you care about privacy, you can NOT use the Google GMail app to access
your Google Account email.

I use FairEmail, as I gave up on K9 before Mozilla took them over.

Thank you for writing it so loud and clear. Google (& others)
 actually manages my own contacts as their loot.

Why? I wished Mozilla could add a Usenet newsreader on k-9. I like
 Thunderbird for this.

It is far more configurable than any other mail client and this is
 great but not easier than k-9 for lot of people.

Given the most valuable thing about you is your location, and the second 
most valuable thing about you are all your friends & family (contacts), 
every app that has no need for your contacts wants to upload them anyway.

I consider it rude of me to upload someone else's contact information.

> This help hiding contacts from other apps (more or less):

I gave up on private contacts and now I don't use contacts so my contacts 
sqlite database is empty - actually - it was empty.

Now my contacts sqlite database is just filled with fake contacts.

This way I'll instantly know when a program is sucking in the sqlite db.

Because FairEmail is built around privacy from a person whom I trust, and 
whom I've worked with to help get his OAuth2 working when Google screwed us 
for about 3 months when Google required 2FA/MFV until Google finally 
relented 3 months later and allows smaller developers to use OAuth2.

> I wished Mozilla could add a Usenet newsreader on k-9. 

Yup. There is no good Android Usenet newsreader, that's for sure.

> I like Thunderbird for this.

To each his/her own as I hate Thunderbird's newsreader, which treats Usenet 
as if it's email without realizing Usenet is fundamentally different stuff.

I used K-9 for years until I switched to FairEmail but to each his/her own.

Open Source: K-9. I use it on my Pixels for years.

I've used Blue Mail for years on Motorola and Pixel phones.  I chose it 
rather than K-9 because at the time I did not want 'push' mail and 
apparently that was K-9's only option.

My computer is my main email source;  I only want it on my phone when I 
am (rarely) away from home for any length of time.

  That must have been a long time ago. My K-9 Mail is at least two and a
half years old - version 6.000 - and I've set the 'Fetching mail' poll
frequency to Never, for both POP3 and IMAP. Other poll frequencies are
from Every 15 minutes to Every 24 hours. Never and Every 24 hours aren't
really 'pushy' are they!> :-)

  (As I mentioned before,) Same here.

I only want to get it when I click 'refresh'.  The gmail app didn't like 
working that way, and neither did K-9 at least 9 years ago.  I've had 
the Pixel for 3 years and I'm guessing I had the 2 Motorolas and 1 BLU 
for 2 years each.

    Bluetooth is especially problematic in San Francisco because it
    makes it nearly impossible to tell who is hearing voices and who
    is just talking on the phone, and in this city their numbers
    seem about equal.                                --Shaun Nichols

That's how I have my K-9. Slide down to refresh. Since I started to use 
it, which I don't remember when that was.

This is not correct AFAIR. I never used Push on mobiles.

Could have been user error -- never finding how to NOT push, the usual 
default.  I just kept it as I switched phones because I didn't want to 
have to configure another app unless there was something wrong with Blue 
Mail.

    Bluetooth is especially problematic in San Francisco because it
    makes it nearly impossible to tell who is hearing voices and who
    is just talking on the phone, and in this city their numbers
    seem about equal.                                --Shaun Nichols

I had MS Outlook on my desktop PC, switched to eM Client (when I decided
to stop paying for MS 365 subscriptionware), but went back to MS Outlook
due to problems with eM Client (half of the reminders on events never
appears, but starting in version 9 versus 8, and earlier, didn't have
the problem).

As a consequence of using MS Outlook on my desktop, and because I also
did not like the Gmail Android app, I went to the MS Outlook app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.outlook

Never seen an ad in Outlook for Android.  

Mozilla acquired K-9 for Android, but haven't yet rebranded K-9 as
Thunderbird:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9

I've not used K-9, so can't give a recommendation for or against it.  It
is free.  Never hear of it having ads.

Mailbird has free and paid versions:

https://www.getmailbird.com/pricing/?utm_location=US

The free version supports only 1 account, so you'd have to pay for the
Standard or Premium versions to support 2, or more, accounts.  I have 6
email accounts, so their free versions was not a candidate at the time.
They have both monthly subscription and pay-once plans.  Been a while
since I looked at Mailbird, but don't recall seeing any ads.

I had, as mentioned above, used eM Client on my desktop for around 3
years.  They have an Android app.  It might have the same 3-account
limit for the free version as does the free desktop version, but I'm not
sure of that.  Could not find a price on their Android app (maybe they
have only a free Android app).

Oops, Mailbird doesn't have an Android app, just Windows and Mac.

Thank you very much to you all that replied here. You are great!

I will try K-9 first. There is a remark in one of the replies that it is 
simple. Suits me fine. But it's 4 o'clock in the morning here in Norway, 
so testing K-9 must wait.

Best regards

  Now i have K-9 installed and have two accounts, one of which is the 
troublesome one, installed, tested and working fine.
Gmail is still by the Gmail-ap.

Again thank you very much for good and kind help to you all :-)

Best regards

I've been using Edison email for years.
Sometimes just shows up in lists as 'Email'
Good and reliable. Copes well with spam and also lists things like 
Travel arrangements, bills and receipts and packages ordered and despatched.
Rates high with users.
