BlitzMail vs mail
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
BlitzMail
BlitzMail is an Android app that allows you to set up your email account once and then use it to send emails or short notes to an address of your choice. This comes in handy when you need to send a lot of things via email, because you are in a low connectivity area (e.g. subway) and want to remember things to look at later. It also works when you are offline. BlitzMail then queues your emails and allows you to send them later when you have connectivity again. The SMTP password is stored encrypted with a built-in key and salted with your device ID. This is not fully secure, but should provide reasonable protection for your password.
monocles mail is a fork of the K-9 mail. It comes with all the known functions of K-9 mail and will get some updates in the UI to improve usability. Features: * supports multiple accounts * Unified Inbox * privacy-friendly (no tracking whatsoever, only connects to your email provider) * automatic background synchronization or push notifications * local and server-side search * OpenPGP email encryption (PGP/MIME)
