Email and calendar client(s) to use with Exchange AND other providers

pablito

Hi :
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for an email and calendar client (could be a single combined app or a different one for each function) capable of connecting to an Exchange server in addition to other email providers (i.e. standard protocols). I'd be willing to pay for it so long as it doesn't require me giving up my privacy... if that is even possible.
Many thanks,
Pab

For calendar, I use simple calendar, works fine and widget looks close to google's calendar.
For email, K-9 is to me the best overall privacy/usability
And DAVx5 sync tool to get contact and calendar sync.
everything FOSS.

I'm not sure about Exchange protocol support since I use IMAP/SMTP, but worth to give a try.

bicycle don't use simple calendar. Simple apps were bought by an adware company. Use Fossify apps instead. They are forks of the Simple apps.

Thanks for the reply. I should have said, I tried both K-9 and FairEmail, but unfortunately neither support a modern Exchange server (confirmed in their respective forums or docs). So far, non open source apps I am aware of are the Gmail client, Outlook (full not Lite) client and Nine. I'm still trying things out...

I've been using Nine to access my Exchange account hosted at Namecheap's Private Email. It's been working really well for me for email, contacts, and calendar.

Its a paid app ($15), but you can buy a key directly from their website if you're like me and use the Aurora Store and don't have Google Play Services installed.

yoshamano Stupid question that I have: I am looking for K9 Mail alternatives. If I only have SMTP and IMAP email, does Nine make sense?
