What FairEmail is
FairEmail is a privacy-oriented email app for Android that works with virtually all email providers, including Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo. It uses IMAP and SMTP, supports a unified inbox, conversation threading, and two-way synchronization, and provides offline storage and operations. Privacy options include OpenPGP and S/MIME encryption, along with protections involving images, links, phishing, and tracking. Calendar tools are available, while scheduled sending, filter rules, message classification, search indexing, templates, and biometric or PIN authentication are listed among Pro features. The free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited accounts and email addresses. The product page describes the app as smaller than 30 MB. FairEmail says account information and message data go only to the user’s email provider except when optional services are enabled or used. Stored account details and messages are protected by encryption, and data is sent and received through secure connections. Error reporting is opt-in and disabled by default. The app does not support Microsoft Exchange Web Services or Microsoft ActiveSync.
