    The menus are definitely busy and confusing (there are many options), but once it’s set up I’ve never been bothered by the UI. I quite like how emails are shown OOTB in fact, with the right padding and day separation; I also use most buttons that are offered by default. So yeah, sane defaults.

    Off the top of my head what I like:

    • you can search emails on the server! That’s the one feature I couldn’t forgo
    • it detects unsubscribe links
    • I remember having delays when using K9, with FairEmail not once. This could be fixed now
    • it cleverly shows you’re connected to a VPN (which can be a problem with emails)
    • maybe too many options, but a lot are actually useful

    Not trying to say it’s better, to each their own. But it’s great.

    edit: I received an email at 06:19 in fairemail. it’s now 06:56 and I just received it in thunderbird
