Nooooooooo! FairEmail is an excellent piece of FLOSS software, and it should not die!

That said, it seems like the author is mainly brought down by negativity in reviews. I understand that absolutely. Although I'm happy that WFH had normalized, there are people, people I know, that just don't jibe with over text. I need regular meets (VC will do) to be assured they are not insensitive assholes. If I wouldn't have that, I could not go on in my work. Apparently I am sensitive. With these reviews there's both a volume and a total lack of face time that I could not deal with. Well, by not ever looking at it. Sure, the Play Store gives reach, but I don't think that's what the author needs right now. People just don't work very well over IP, and I shut down channels occasionally because I must place my mental health before all. Maybe that can work for M66B too.


That would be a shame. FairEmail has been the best mobile client I've used. But I absolutely empathize with the dev.


It's over:

  I have removed all my apps from the Play store and I will stop supporting and maintaining my apps. Google won.

Nooo, my favourite Android email client :(. Thanks for all the years of hard work on this amazing app.


FairEmail is an absolute gem. I hope they are able to resolve their issues with Google. Would be a big loss in the FOSS world.
