Very good professionally made mail application! Good minimalist and convenient UI, love the vibes of Mozilla Thunderbird. Works flawlessly with my two email accounts. I do miss PIN code lock feature when you have to enter code after launching the application. I had several occasions when I had to pass over my unlocked phone to another person for a short while and my email is a sensitive content that I would like to have extra privacy protection for.

Professional design, aliases supported, missing signature formatting though I was looking for an Android alternative to Outlook as it does not support email aliases. So grateful that K-9 Mail does. I was worried about the design and functionalities, but these are well carried out. One star less though for the missing signature formatting. I'd need to format the text and add an image for business emails. Hoping for that feature to be added soon! 🙏

the app is okay, though I'm not a fan of the way the unified inbox is sorted, like it isn't the top heading in a folder with multiple inboxes. it's not intuitive. and, what about unified spam, trash, and draft folders? good UI and it works well enough without ads on your face.
