Free and open source, but still comes with a great design. Also has push notifications, swipe actions, folder customization and a dark theme. I never had any issues with the synchronization of 6 different accounts (Gmail & self-hosted). Only thing I'm missing is the option to customize the quick actions on a notification, I'd like to be able to archive a mail right from there.

(Jan 2025) Checking these reviews, I will not update the app at this time because I don't want to mess it up! So often updates wreck a perfectly good app. UPDATE#2 I had to redo my email credentials because it stopped receiving emails. It seems fine now. I use this for only Startmail. I am avoiding updating the app itself, I don't know why it loses the credentials, it goes a very long time without a glitch so maybe the issue is on Startmail's end, but I am happy it works now.

I love this app, it's amazing, the best email client on Android, I like it's icon& branding. I'm glad Thunderbird bought it, but I hope they continue to roll their upgrades to this app & this essentially stays as a stripped down email client with a minimalist design. I don't want bloat on my email client & I feel that's what Thunderbird will become to match desktops feature set. So please keep K-9 Mail alive Mozilla.
