# FairEmail
|
|
|
|
*Open source, privacy friendly email app for Android*
|
|
|
|
This email app might be for you if your current email app:
|
|
|
|
* takes long to receive or to show messages
|
|
* can manage only one email address
|
|
* cannot handle a large number of messages
|
|
* cannot show conversations
|
|
* cannot work offline
|
|
* looks outdated
|
|
* is not maintained
|
|
* stores your email on their servers
|
|
* is closed source, potentially violating your privacy
|
|
|
|
This app is minimalistic by design, so you can concentrate on reading and writing messages.
|
|
|
|
This app starts a foreground service with a low priority status bar notification to make sure you'll never miss new email.

## Compatibility
|
|
|
|
FairEmail requires at least Android 5 Lollipop.
|
|
Individual message notifications are available on Android 7 Nougat and later only
|
|
because earlier Android versions do not support notification grouping.
|
|
|
|
FairEmail will work properly on devices without any Google service installed.
