## What it is
FairEmail is a fully featured, open source, privacy oriented email client for Android. It supports unlimited accounts via standard protocols (IMAP, POP3, SMTP) with OpenPGP and S/MIME encryption, phishing protection, and tracking prevention.

## Use cases
- manage multiple email accounts on android
- send encrypted email with openpgp
- read email without tracking pixels
- privacy friendly gmail client for android
- unified inbox for all my email addresses
- block phishing and tracking in email

## When to choose

- you need an android email app supporting standard protocols like IMAP, POP3, and SMTP

## When to avoid
- you rely on Microsoft Exchange Web Services or ActiveSync, which are not supported
- you need a full email service - FairEmail is a client only and requires your own email address
