FairEmail is an email application that prioritizes privacy. It is designed to be simple and easy to use, but may not be the best choice for those looking for a very basic email app. FairEmail is solely an email client, so users must have their own email address. It does not offer additional features such as a calendar, contact manager, task manager, or note manager. FairEmail also does not support non-standard protocols like Microsoft Exchange Web Services and Microsoft ActiveSync.
While most features are free to use, some may require payment in order to maintain and support the app in the long term. The app was developed with a focus on protecting user privacy, and support is available via email for any questions or issues.
FairEmail offers a variety of features, including the ability to have unlimited accounts and email addresses, a unified inbox, conversation threading, two-way synchronization, push notifications, offline storage, and common text style options. It is also designed to be battery-friendly, use low data, and have a small file size. The app has a modern design and is regularly maintained and supported.
The app has a minimalistic design to allow users to focus on reading and writing messages. It also has a foreground service with a low-priority status bar notification to ensure that users never miss new emails.
Privacy is a top priority for FairEmail, and the app offers features such as encryption/decryption, reformatting messages to prevent phishing, confirming the display of images and opening of links to prevent tracking, and disabling tracking images. It also warns users if messages cannot be authenticated.
FairEmail is also designed to be simple, secure, and efficient. It does not store data on third-party servers, uses open standards, has a safe message view, does not require special permissions, and does not have advertisements or analytics. It also offers optional Android backup and does not use Firebase Cloud Messaging. FairEmail is an original work and not a fork or clone of another app.
There are also pro features available for convenience and advanced use, such as account/identity/folder colors and avatars, notification settings, snooze messages, and automatic message classification. Support is available through a FAQ page and email contact for any questions or issues that cannot be resolved through the FAQ.
