I grew tired of the stock email app and wanted something different. All the other apps seem to track personal information or have other undesirable features. While people make complaints in some of the reviews about a lack of functionality, it's overall an effective email client and it's free. Yes some of the features require a bit more touches than previous apps, but this is been my default app for a long time and I really enjoy it and appreciate the offering.

I was surprised this app did not have a much higher rating after recently downloading and using it. It is one of the best email programs I have ever used. It was easy to add my different email accounts. It supports aliases on outlook, and and lets you add folders to the unified folder. Unlike my last app it quickly connects to my various accounts, and also handles outgoing emails much faster. Good documentation is available. Overall an excellent app. Don't want to wait 15min, manually refresh.

Oh this is painful. Best email app out there for many years. New design made it bad for multiple accounts and one-handed use. Turned off unified view because it's not practical for keeping work email and personal email separate. But with the multiple account overview gone now, It's too many steps now too see if there are any new messages in any of the accounts. Plus, there's no indication to tell which inbox I'm looking at when the app opens. For now I'm hanging on, hoping.

Looks better, but the nav and action buttons are at the top of the screen and Human thumbs tend to float towards the bottom of a smartphone while holding it, where the on-screen keyboard would be, for example. Now I need to use 2 hands to do things that used to require 1 hand because of the unintuitive button placement. Please put the buttons back where they used to be, or at least add the option in the settings menu.

The newest version changed the user interface largely just to change the user interface. It is harder to use this software than the previous version. Also, the developers have removed the ability to clear local messages meaning junk is going to build up on the phone, a device having limited storage, than would be the case for previous versions. If there was a way to roll back to the last version I would.

Been using K9 Mail for quite awhile but decided to give up on it after the latest version was installed. It is too quirky and buggy to use. The unified inbox is not working properly, account icons are displayed from the wrong account (was unable to fix this even after deleting the app, reinstalling and adding my accounts back in), and search capabilities are very limited. Never liked the non-standard way the scroll bar works - very often ended up at the bottom of my email list when I didn't want to be there - was hoping that would get fixed at some point but the developers seem to be headed in a different direction.

Guys, what happened? This was a great email app, perhaps the best. This new interface appears to be a generic object implemented to make your devs life easier. Anyway, I can not get it to update emails anymore. What can we do to return to the previous version with speed and stability? I hate to move on. By the way, your previous versions was always a 5 atar application. John

Great app. Very easy to navigate and control settings. However with the most recent update, it looks and works just like the Gmail app. What's the point of that? If it looks, feels, and operates just like the Gmail app, why not use the Gmail app? I used k9 because it had a better layout; not anymore. The quick switch between accounts is as combersome as Gmail. I uninstalled it after 5+ years of use. And with Gmail doing "less secure app" lock downs, it's become a pain to keep active.

The new modern look is a giant step backwards. The previous interface was so much better, easier to navigate, and quicker to do stuff. Just because other apps ALL have a certain look doesn't mean every app needs that look. Please consider putting in an option to pick which interface the user wants to use, because currently it's not as useful as before.

Used to be an amazing open source email application with good multiple account support, but the new UI is atrocious. Bring back the accounts overview screen, and at least the option to use each account's assigned color within it's folders for easy identification of which account you're looking at. Also, please remove the gaudy sidebar and just go back to accessing the menus from the bottom of the message list. Yes it was "clutter" on the screen, but it was highly useful clutter.
