I’m tried of how terrible Gmail is. Id like an email client with folders or categories. If it can sort them automatically (like how Googles now defunct inbox app used to) that would be even better.
Edit: in a couple days or whenever the activity on this post slows down. I will update this post with a list of the most recommended email app.
Edit2:
Results are in: Number is the amount of people who specifically mentioned it.
- FairMail 6
- K-9 5
- Spark 2
- ProtonMail
- Re:work
- Nine
- Tutanota
- Canary Mail
- Aqua

I miss Inbox
It was so much better than Gmail
Me too. Of all the Google products that they cancelled, inbox hurt the most.
- On Android: K9Mail. By far the best.
- On Linux: ThunderBird. It’s bloated like an obese whale on cortisone but I’ve yet to see a better client.
How is K9 better than FairEmail?
Agreed. FairEmail is my goto choice. They’re both open source and on F-Droid.
FairEmail does have a $9 license you can buy to add extra features, but even without the license, I found it to be a nicer app than K9.
Still have this post saved waiting for the list…
Fineeeee, I’ll do it.
Thanks!
I just wish Android had a nice email client that was material you and material 3 like Gmail and also wasn’t Gmail
Re:work. If you need Exchange connectivity look no further. It has a subscription model, but there’s absolutely nothing better than it. Made my the same company that made the previous Exchange king, Nine.
K9. Super happy in general, apart from push email not working properly most of the time
When not using ProtonMail, I use FairEmail: “Fully featured, open source, privacy oriented email app for Android.”
These are the guys who pluralize one of ‘traffic’, ‘help’ or ‘email’ with an S like it’s not stupid?

You are responding to a post on an Android community with recommendations for macOS and Linux mail clients, without any mention of an Android mail client.
Sorry! I’m still learning how to use this. I’ll delete my comment

Nine
Been using for a long time because of the rich text email options. But it is awesome all around. My pick for best of the best.
You’re the second person that’s recommended nine so I guess I’ll give it a shot. Do you know if they collect data from your emails?
I don’t know. I hope not.
Is it still being developed? It looks like the last update was back in April last year.
Spark. Absolutely adore it. Once I tried it, I’ve never gone back.
Do you like it’s new interface?
I like the Smart 1.0 implementation.
2.0 just hides away a lot of important messages. I have 5 email IDs due to work and other stuff, and I CANNOT figure out how that interface works.
The 1.0 works perfectly.
I’m absolutely agree. I really tried to get used to the new interface, but its a pain.
Also, the new Windows version lacks support of Exchange, and it messes up your accounts on another devices.
Still love it. Not the windows version.
I prefer the original Mail and Calendar app that came with Windows 10.
But Microsoft being Microsoft, abandoned their own app dev platform to essentially just make a web app instead. Apparently, native apps are just too much to ask for these days. 🙄
Fairemail on android. Thunderbird on pc. K9Mail on android is also good but I prefer fairemail
Im with Samsung Mail happy.
I like Spark. I’ve had many interactions with the company and support out of Ukraine and they’re always great. Haven’t found anything better for my needs.
I love spark for how it helps one curate their inbox. For me it made email slightly useful once again!
I use canary mail. I’ve been happy with it. It had some security features that first drew me in. But it also has a nice smart select feature that will higlight what it perceives to be junk, as you scroll your inbox. This makes cleanup a breeze.
Thunderbird - a bit slouchy at times but featurewise I’m very happy with it :)
