Positive review Love it, but by anonym
I really love K9, but the latest update is now killing my battery. K9 is now the highest power user in the list 4/5
Positive review Best yet by anonym

Positive review The best - no fluff, multi account, very configurable by anonym
Been using it for years. Every year i try a few others and return to K9. 5/5
Positive review Eating my battery by anonym
App keeps restarting in the background, lagging the phone and eating the battery. Pls solve this else I have to uninstal it. Experia Z1 4/5
Negative review Doesn't accept exchange server by anonym
Keeps saying the URL is not valid although it works with every other Android mail app I've tried do far... 1/5
Positive review Everything you want. by anonym
I keep on asking myself why I didn't start using this earlier. Everything is possible with this client where the standard mail client could just read the mails and nothing more. Highly recommended. Keep it up. 5/5
Positive review Gmail? by anonym
Doesn't work with Gmail anymore. please fix 4/5
Positive review Good app but please look the matter with the app now by anonym
It was a good app ,I have been using it since 2 yrs but now their is problem with the emails 5/5
Negative review WiFi Bug by anonym
I have 10 accounts and the app gets stuck checking emails when I do a manual sync. All my accounts are imap. Auto sync works fine but manual sync gets stuck. If I take my phone off WiFi and use cell service manual sync works fine. Hope you fix this bug. 1/5
Positive review Not enough of stars... by anonym
The latest update is just amazing. The rewamp of the look and the newly organized buttons, check mail by pulling down the screen... This app just beats the sh*t out of the other competitors out there! Thanks K9-devteam for the BEST email client out there! I have one suggestion for number-recognition: +NNN NNN NNN NNN etc. In other words +-sign and any amount of numbers with a space, dot, dash etc should be recognized as a phonenumber. + stands for 00 in phonenumbers in many countries. 5/5
Positive review Simply the best by anonym
If you like your email a little old school such as a Outlook than you will love this app. There's much less of Randomness than Gmail and it's easy to control every aspect of this program. Thank you for a great app 5/5
Positive review by anonym
back to happy camper, battery draw seems to have settled down... 4/5
Negative review Outgoing mail Fails by anonym

Positive review by anonym
Has worked satisfactory for years. Has options for everything I could want, though can sometimes be a little difficult to find through the menus. Have never known a better email client. 5/5
Positive review by anonym
been using it for the past 3+ years..... unable to find another as friendly user 4/5
Negative review what is missing by anonym
k9 mail should have it's own address book! I don't want to use "contacs" because any app maybe has access to this? 2/5
Positive review Simplest email client by anonym
Been using since I'm on Android. Is there another email client? Nope. 5/5
Negative review Connection Error by anonym
Keep getting no text connection error 2/5
Negative review POP3 Accounts Stopped Working by anonym
Wife and I have Android 5.0 on our Note 3's. POP3 Accounts with Comcast no longer working. Galaxy Tab S2 w Android 5.1.1 works OK with K9. What gives? 1/5
Negative review A LOT of fc's by anonym
When did all the forced closes (crashes) start? This app has become really unstable. 2/5
Negative review K-9 Mail by anonym
Being a Whovian for many years, i remember when Tom Baker got that tin mutt, but my previous adventure with this email client wasn't good. Now it can't do automatic setups! Even providing an SSH server is a Machts nichts help. What IS your problem? 2/5
Negative review It won't let me set up and account by anonym
It doesn't get past the "set up account" page. Asks me to create one and after I do, never highlights "next" so I can continue. It doesn't say the username is taken or the password is no good or anything like that. It just plain won't work. Just like everything else, it's probably geared towards iPhones and Samsung Galaxies. Developers need to start realizing there are a lot of other phones out there and a large portion of the population who can't afford the pricier smartphones. 1/5
Positive review Good email client by anonym
My phone was not operating properly so I did not give this a good rating. Everything is working now and this client is really pretty good. 4/5
Positive review LG G3 6.0 by anonym
10-2-15 Works great so far! Uses battery and at the end of day it's still on battery! Otherwise great app!Update : doesn't notify when new emails come! This app used to be good! Needs some tweeks badly! 4/5
Negative review Keeps stopping by anonym
Used to be great, but now crashes (stops) several times each day on my new phone. Getting ready to uninstall if not resolved soon. 1/5
Positive review by anonym
Great app. But build 110 still hasn't brought webdav acccess to exchange 2003 back :( 5/5
Positive review Use it all the time by anonym
They do have the very best! Some time ago, K9 blew it for lollipop and I had to give bad rating. I then tried 5 apps highly rated but none measured up. Over many months all is well! 5/5
Positive review V 5.010 breaks SSL,STL certificates by anonym
Used K9 for several years with very active biz accounts. Always reliable, easy to configure and personalize. 5/5
Negative review Problems sending email and numerous crashes by anonym
I have used and loved this app for several years and thought it was the best email app our there. But on my new S7, I am having nothing but trouble. Constant problems when sending emails and crashes at least 4 times a day. I will be uninstalling and trying to find another app. 2/5
Positive review Thank you by anonym
It is so hard to find a feature rich mobile app that isn't released with nefarious permissions and intentions and is still free. But if you charged I would pay! 5/5
Positive review Problems after update now fixed hurrah. by anonym
Can't fault what it does. Last issue was sorted out in 24 hours. 5/5
Negative review by anonym
Decent app, but it always stops syncing randomly, then I have to open it, close it, open it, close it, then it says syncing is disabled(?) then I close it and open it again a few times and it starts resync'ing. 2/5
Positive review Marvellous by anonym
Thanks for providing this gorgeous application free of charge. I love the PGP implementation. Great job! Thanks a lot! 5/5
Positive review Awesome by anonym
Still the best.... BTW the "stupid" icon is K-9 from Doctor Who, so it's not stupid. I love the new version. 5/5
Negative review Very Sad by anonym
So recently I've been having problems with K9 mail and despite my best efforts it still persists. I have had problems checking my other accounts on it after checking one of them, for instance if I check one email account and then try to check another the program just hangs. I have to clear the cache and force a stop for it to work again. So that being said I'm switching. 2/5
Positive review Powerful and simple and free by anonym
Best email client I've found hands down. It has a bunch of features other don't (like identities) and has a lot of nice customization 5/5
Positive review Rapid sync, no clutter, privacy by anonym
Thanks to the developers for this wonderful application which replaces my android stock app. I almost gave up on finding a mail app which doesn't ask for a ton of permissions until I found K9. A few minor suggestions for improvements: It should be possible to move mails to folders of different accounts, and generally the moving of mails could still be simplified. Another desirable feature would be a rapid delete gesture and an undo button for the last move/delete action. 5/5
Neutral review I'd like to use it but... by anonym
Seems it doesn't want to accept my works email exchange account. Keeps saying a valid url for the exchange account could not be found. It's funny because plenty of other email apps don't have a problem. And why are the time and date on the emails so far behind the actual time and date? Get it sorted, K9! 3/5
Neutral review Defacto is a bit disappointing by anonym
It's a well known mail client for a long time - almost the defacto standard for 3rd party Android mail clients perhaps. But it feels like it needs an interface overhaul. Just feels a bit dated and stale. Functionality is good but for me I found connectivity to exchange by owa far slower than other clients I've tried. Also it seems unable to deal properly with nested folders. Some folders I've been unable to see at all. 3/5
Neutral review Like it so far by anonym
No fault in the app but Google has blocked me from signing into my Gmail account because this app doesn?t meet the security requirements. Sure that?s just an excuse for them to get me to download the Gmail app. 3/5
