Great to see some major developments for this app!
Indeed. It seems it's the overall best option of a surprising bad bunch. There really is a huge gaping whole in the decent open source webmail space imho.
Like, we've been waiting for "basic" features like "saved searches/ virtual folders" for nearly 10 years!
See e.g. this ticket from 2011
https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/issues/5039And it's seemingly easy to make such features but to give them a bad UI too (e.g. all the open source webmail clients that already kinda sorta have this feature, none of them make it anywhere like as simple/ good as Gmail labels).
Saying that, once Roundcube gets to 1.5 and K-9 Mail gets a new stable release (waiting since 2018) then I may finally try self-hosting my email again...(haven't done so since too much spam sent me to Google years ago)

Have you ever tried FairEmail? I've been using this instead of K-9 Mail after the development stopped and I like it a lot. Maybe you like it too and it'll bring you one step closer to self-hosting emails

No I haven't. Thanks for the reminder
I'm also thinking of trying /e/ at some point and they also have their own fork of K-9:
https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/apps/mail
I've no idea what it's like though, and it looks like FairMail is much more actively maintained:

@avatar1024 I just tried FairEmail, nice that it managed to pick up the SMTP/IMAP server automatically of my Cloudron mailbox thanks to the email autoconfiguration we have in place now ! The UI is a bit rough, but can confirm it works. I will go back to K-9 I think.

@girish i noticed that the UI seems to handle conversations much better though. Othetwise yeah its rough.
also for a de googled experiwnce i can whole heartedly recommend CalyxOS.

I just switched to it, overall I think it's much better than K9 so just upgraded to pro version too.
Thanks for the recommendation

The developer just removed FairEmail and all his other apps from the Google Play store out of frustration: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/closed-app-5-0-fairemail-fully-featured-open-source-privacy-oriented-email-app.3824168/page-1087

@necrevistonnezr The direct from GitHub .apk version works better anyway
Edit: oh, SHIT, but if he can't get it working via PlayStore (which is where the vast majority of people get it from) he's thinking about quiting the project completely! Noooooo!

Yes and also apk outside the Play store may not be an option on work phones etc.

I'm not so personally worried about that, but:
I have removed all my apps from the Play store and I will stop supporting and maintaining my apps. Google won.
Good luck.
But I not totally sure all hope is yet lost as he's still engaging in that thread...
Hopefully he'll decide to keep maintaining and developing it...
