I need my work emails on my mobile. They only work with Exchange/Activesync. IMAP is not an option. Is there a good, privacy respecting app for Android out there? I would like if I could use the same app for my other E-Mails which all use IMAP. I now use Gmail, but I hate the unnecessary connection with the big G. I’d also prefer not to use Outlook (mobile) because it (might) send your credentials to MS.

    The App “Nine - Mail & Calendar” used to be quite good for Exchange. I used it years ago and was quite happy. Currently it has only 3.5 stars on the Play Store so I don’t know how good it still is.

    Back when I used it I checked it for privacy and considered it save. No idea about the current status though. It is not FOSS.

      I use it for my work mail. I can’t speak to their privacy, but I think it’s ok. So far as I know they haven’t done anything stupid, and all the connections are only from my device, no cloud intermediary.

      I do like that it allows you to only apply the ActiveSync policies to the app instead of the entire device. If my employer remote wipes my device, it only impacts the app.

      I tried. They must be still working on it because I could not find the possibility to add an Exchange-Account

        #Microsoft Exchange support

        We’re very very very close!

        So far we have the main flow completed, and we’re able to set up an account, fetch folders, fetch messages, and display messages. We’re finalizing the outgoing flow in order to send messages, and after that we will start an audit to ensure that all the usual features you expect from interacting with your email are working.

        Expect some future call to actions to test things and invites to switch the experimental pref ON.

        There was something in one of the recent blogs about it also coming to Android, but I can’t find it. Sadly though, it looks like it’s months out, rather than weeks. Sorry to get your hopes up.

          There is still a spark of hope… If this is really coming I might just wait for it. Thank you for your research!
