Ltt.rs vs You Have Mail
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Ltt.rs
Proof of concept e-mail (JMAP) client (pronounced \"Letters\"). Makes heavy use of Android Jetpack to be more maintainable than some of the other Android e-mail clients. Features, and design considerations: * Heavily cached, but not fully offline capable. Ltt.rs makes use of JMAP’s great caching capabilities. However, marking a thread as read does a round-trip to the server to update things such as read count. The action itself won’t get lost even if performed offline. * Account setup and done. Settings invite feature creep and its friend unmaintainability. There is one specific work flow. K-9 Mail or FairEmail is more suitable for others. * Minimal dependencies. Only widely known, highly tested libraries from reputable vendors. Third-party libraries are often of poor quality, and end up unmaintained. * First class Autocrypt. Ltt.rs fits right into its strict UX guidelines. * Based on jmap-mua, a headless e-mail client, or a library that handles everything an e-mail client would, aside from data storage and UI. There is also lttrs-cli, which uses the same library. * Looks to Gmail for inspiration in cases of uncertainty.
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
