In simple English
This is an email app for your phone that keeps your private data away from big tech companies. You can check all your email accounts in one single inbox or keep them separate. It costs nothing to download and use. The team behind it builds on the older K-9 Mail project to give you a reliable experience. You do not need to pay anything or run a server to use it.
