# FairEmail

> Open source, privacy-oriented email client for Android

FairEmail is an open source email client for Android, provided by FairCode B.V. and developed by Marcel Bokhorst. It connects to almost any provider over IMAP, POP3 and SMTP, including Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo, stores mail on the device for offline use, and asks before showing images or opening links. Most features are free, and a one-time purchase unlocks a set of pro features such as snoozing, scheduled sending and filter rules.

## Key features

- **Unified inbox for unlimited accounts:** Any number of accounts and email addresses can be added, with a unified inbox, conversation threading, two-way synchronization and push through IMAP IDLE.
- **Offline storage and operations:** Messages are stored on the device, and actions taken while offline are synchronized later. The developer states that no data is stored on third-party servers.
- **Tracking and phishing protections:** The app asks before showing images or opening links, tries to recognize and disable tracking images, reformats messages and warns when a message could not be authenticated.
- **OpenPGP and S/MIME encryption:** Optional end-to-end encryption uses PGP, through the separate OpenKeychain or PGPony app, or S/MIME. Signing and encrypting with S/MIME is one of the pro features.
- **Snooze, send later and filter rules:** The pro purchase adds snoozing, sending after a chosen time, reply templates, filter rules, automatic message classification, search indexing and a message list widget.
- **Optional translation and AI services:** DeepL translation, LanguageTool grammar and style checks, and OpenAI or Gemini can be turned on in the integration settings. DeepL, OpenAI and Gemini each need your own API key.

## Good for

- Android users who want an open source email client with no ads or tracking
- People with several accounts at different IMAP or POP3 providers
- Paying once for advanced features instead of subscribing

## Worth knowing

- Supported on Android phones, tablets and ChromeOS only. There is no iOS, desktop or web version.
- Microsoft Exchange Web Services and ActiveSync are not supported; accounts connect over IMAP, POP3 and SMTP.
- The F-Droid build cannot reuse a Play Store purchase and does not support OAuth sign-in, so the Gmail quick setup is missing there.
- It is an email client only: the Play listing says it is not a calendar, contact, task or note manager.

## Works with

Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, OpenKeychain, DeepL, LanguageTool, OpenAI, Gemini
