As I really only read email on my phone (I send maybe one a month through it due to timing or as a quick file transfer mechanism). The only thing that *really* matters is proper threading when reading. That is, based on Message-id, not subject similarity indexes. K-9 was the only one to not be infected with the brain-dead GMail behavior that I had found (I forget if FairEmail was around when I was perusing).

I'll also note that FairEmail's F-Droid distribution does not support OAuth for Google accounts as its client signup was denied. I don't know how long non-OAuth access to email will work in the long run (enterprise accounts are already being locked down AFAIK).

This appears to contradict FairEmail's FAQ, https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user..., which says that F-Droid would need to ask for permissions. It suggests they haven't asked, rather than that they got "no" as an answer.

F-Droid does support publishing upstream binaries (if they're reproducible), so upstream could use their own OAuth keys without giving them to the F-Droid developers as well. I don't know what the right solution here is.
