BlitzMail vs You Have 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.
You Have Mail
Small application to notify you when you receive an email in your email account. This may be useful for cases where you only wish to be notified when your email account has a new message and the default notification mechanism does not work (e.g: Android without Google Play Services) or do not wish to have the web interface/email client open at all times. Supported Backends The application structure has been made backend agnostics, so it should be possible to add different providers in the future. Currently, the following email providers are supported: * Proton Mail
