[kwlug-disc] FairEmail app for Android

[Mark Steffen]

I've used FairEmail on my phone exclusively for years, and I use 
Thunderbird on KDE desktop exclusively (daily driver).  IMAP/SMTP + 
caldav/carddav integrations (phone has an app for the caldav/carddav 
stuff that runs in the background to sync).  It is less elegant than 
ActiveSync but it does work.

I don't have any issues with Thunderbird but there was somewhat of a 
learning curve with things like search and stuff.  I'm pretty happy with 
it now but it took some commitment.  I had tried Evolution multiple 
times over the past couple decades but it always seemed a bit too buggy, 
and they dropped Mac support (I had been using a Mac as a daily driver 
up until a couple years ago).

I will agree that Thunderbird can be slow... I don't use it on the 
pinebook pro for that reason but on my udoo bolt it runs great (though, 
it has a silly amount of RAM and an nvme drive).

I've heard good things about Geary and others but now I'm stuck in my 
ways. :-D
