How to use it well

FairEmail exposes choices around remote images, links and account behavior that other clients may hide. Keep those prompts meaningful, verify the provider’s supported protocols and compare optional Pro conveniences before designing a routine around them.

Connect a mailbox using supported standards and test sending, receiving and folder synchronization. Review remote-image and link prompts rather than disabling them automatically. Compare Pro features before depending on snoozing or scheduled sending, and confirm that a work account does not require unsupported Exchange protocols.
