      I am hoping to get a reliable email application exclusively for use on my Nexus 5 and would welcome comments on the various applications in the Open Store.

      Dekko does not appeal as it is permanently experimental, Gmail and Yahoomail I refuse to contemplate as a matter of principle, leaving only Tutanota which for some unknown reason has three versions available. Reviews of the two older versions of Tutanota are neither helpful nor recent, so do you folks have any recommendations?

        @cliffcoggin You can use Protonmail which is located in Switzerland and Mailo which is located in France, both are webapps. That means they are web versions with their own cookies. You have both paid and free versions,

          ... are not applications, but providers of webmail. Are you looking for an email client (an application, like Thunderbird is on PCs or laptops) or an email provider?

            @josele13 I must admit I did not see Proton mail when searching for "email" in the Open Store, however doesn't the end-to-end encryption mean the recipient also needs a Proton mail account, or am I misunderstanding? My need is for a simple way of communicating with any email address when away from my computer.

              @moem Point taken. My aim is set up and use email exclusively on this phone that does not involve Google, Yahoo, or any other of the big demons. Whether it is web or phone based I do not mind as it will rarely be used, and even then only for non sensitive messages.

                @cliffcoggin Misunderstanding. You can send to anyone from a Proton account. I use the free version. It is however just webapps in the OpenStore. Also you cannot run a Proton account from other than their apps on Android or webapps. So not ideal.

                  Okay, thanks for clearing that up. It looks like you don't insist on using an email address you already have, is that right? Then it does sound like Proton might be a decent option, and I know them as very privacy conscious, which is a trait you might appreciate.

                  The reason for Tutanota (which has a similarly good reputation) having three apps available on the Open Store is the same as why there are so many Linux distros: each time someone feels the need and has the ability, they make their own. It just means you have more options to choose from.

                    Precisely so. I want an expendible email account that has no connection with my work computer or my other email accounts.

                      When you create your account, you're asked for a "recover email adress"
                      You can enter a non existing gmx mail adresse, it works
                      Thus you create an account with no external reference and you're done

                        Good day,
                        I have the same, well, a similar wish. Except I have email I want to use and I'd like to be able to access it on the phone. I want nothing to do with google. i used GrapheneOS with K-9 Mail and Open Key Chain and it worked perfectly. But I wanted to use Ubuntu Touch. My email can be accessed on the web, although not the encrypted mail. I like to have my key only on my personal tools (Pixel 3a (possibly) and an old Thinkpad X220). Not a deal breaker but a nice email client would be great. Otherwise I am a extremely pleased with this OS on the Pixel 3a. But a nice email client... I use Evolution on the laptop, can't quite imagine it will show up on Ubuntu Touch though. Thanks for the place to have my say!

                          To wrap up this topic I went for a Tutanota free account for use on my Nexus 5. It was easy to set up and available within two minutes of creation. If it proves successful I am happy to pay the ludicrously cheap 12 Euros per annum.

                          Incidentally I used the application from the Open Store by Jose M Reyes.
