Editor's Overview

FairEmail is a email application developed by Marcel Bokhorst (M66B), packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.2 weighing in at 28.04 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 28.04 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Marcel Bokhorst (M66B)" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

FairEmail is easy to set up and works with virtually all email providers, including Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo!

Note that OAuth was not approved by Google, etc for the F-Droid build. For this you'll need to use the Play store version or the GitHub release.

FairEmail might be for you if you value your privacy.

FairEmail is an email client only, so you need to bring your own email address.

FairEmail does not support non-standard protocols, like Microsoft Exchange Web Services and Microsoft ActiveSync.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

Is FairEmail safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Marcel Bokhorst (M66B). We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update FairEmail?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).
