>The user interface has been redesigned. Some of you will love it, some will hate it. You’re welcome and sorry.<p>This is great, except now all of the UI elements are at the top of the screen, which on modern large phones is very awkward, even with my long fingers. Looking over the github repo, it appears that I'm not the only one with this concern, and that the author isn't interested in making this configurable. Too bad, this is the only thing that is keeping me from upgrading Lineage, as the older version of K-9 will no longer work.<p>Anyways, thanks for all the hard work. Excellent tool.
I switched from GMail to a paid SMTP service and had been using the gmail client until I found out about the K-9 beta. Super pleased with it so far, and its nice to have every step of my mail from server to client (that I can reasonably control) open source!<p>I highly recommend giving a little via Librapay or GitHub sponsors if you use the app and want to see it keep long term support ;)<p><a href="https://liberapay.com/k9mail/donate" rel="nofollow">https://liberapay.com/k9mail/donate</a><p><a href="https://github.com/sponsors/cketti" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sponsors/cketti</a>
K-9 Mail makes the very crippled Replicant on ancient hardware still be much better at accessing my email than my current iPhone is.<p><a href="https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxySIIIGTI9300" rel="nofollow">https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyS...</a>
A few years ago I had trouble with K9 going into "sync disabled mode", for lack of a better term. Push notifications simply didn't work no matter what I tried and I missed lots of emails as a result.<p>Switched to FairEmail[0] and have been a happy user since.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail</a>
> Various improvements and bug fixes related to end-to-end encryption (Autocrypt, OpenPGP).<p>Great to see that Autocrypt is still a priority. It's just a pity that Thunderbird isn't as enthusiastic about it:<p><a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/openpgp-thunderbird-howto-and-faq#w_does-thunderbird-support-autocrypt" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/openpgp-thunderbird-how...</a>
My favorite mobile email client of all time was ProfiMail[1] on my Symbian OS based Nokia 6682[2] way back in the day.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.lonelycatgames.com/apps/profimail" rel="nofollow">https://www.lonelycatgames.com/apps/profimail</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Nokia-6682_id1108" rel="nofollow">https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Nokia-6682_id1108</a>
Just blogged about it (<a href="https://b.jlel.se/s/49e" rel="nofollow">https://b.jlel.se/s/49e</a>) after musing about the Holo design in 2018 (<a href="https://b.jlel.se/s/9a" rel="nofollow">https://b.jlel.se/s/9a</a>).<p>Great work! Just set up a Liberapay donation.
Nice. I have been following the betas so this update isn't really much different for me.<p>I didn't see the update in F-Droid. I had been manually installing the apk and had to do the same for 5.800.<p>I especially appreciate that it works on my Android 6 device. My MotoX from 2013 is still my primary phone and it has no newer updates (running LineageOS).
I've been using K-9 Mail for years, I love it, great work! If you can spare the time, can you please add a simpler way to donate? I really don't want to create yet another account (liberapay?), please just let me pay with paypal directly.
I've been afraid that I was going to loose K-9 (due to it becoming incompatible with a newer android or something). Thanks!<p>One note, If I opt out of giving the app contacts permissions I get nagged about it each time opening the app and composing a new mail etc. etc.
Google Gmail authentications broke K-9 mail usage with Gmail accounts a couple of years back.<p>Has that been addressed?<p>(Why I still have gmail accounts is a separate issue. Working on that.)
In a previous work, an adjacent team used the K9 mail source code to implement a secure mail client. The consensus among the team was that the source code was terrible in many ways. On iOS, we had written our own mail client, but on Android, for various reasons, it was decided to use an open source instead of implementing our own. Not sure what amount of research was invested in investing alternatives, but for years the team complained about the quality of K9. This was 6-8 years ago.
I've only ever used FairEmail, can anyone who has tried both (and not rage quit either) give a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of both?<p>Also, can K9 do a "disable work emails outside of work hours" kind of thing? FairEmail (as far as I can tell) doesn't have this, and it gets a tad annoying to get emails at 9pm when my colleagues at the other side of the world.
I moved into Nine a while back - it's great, and in fact the <i>only</i> Android app I've ever paid money for!<p>It works well with my self-hosted email accounts, and before I went full time on my own business, it worked well with O365 and Exchange too - and it didn't force Exchange PIN-lock policies on me.<p>It also seems to allow customisation of just about everything, from view density to font sizes.<p>Highly recommended it.
