Monomail

What Monomail is
Monomail is a monochrome Android email client for up to 10 Gmail, Outlook, or IMAP accounts, with an optional unified inbox. It supports threaded conversations, sender grouping, snooze, scheduled and undo sending, templates, and attachments. Search combines local filtering by subject, sender, and snippet with paginated server-side API search. Local caching through Room and SQLCipher enables offline use. Connections include Gmail, Microsoft Graph for Outlook, and IMAP/SMTP, with presets for Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Zoho, and custom providers. PGP tools handle key generation, import and export, decryption, signature verification, and outgoing encryption and signing. The maker says email is processed locally without Monomail servers and sensitive data is encrypted at rest. Monomail is GPL-3.0 licensed with public Kotlin source, and requires Android 8.0 or later. The GitHub/F-Droid build is free.
