If anyone can recommend me a better community to post this in, please do so.

I have an Exchange email that was given to me by my company, but they disabled IMAP/POP support, and they won’t turn it on. I don’t want to use an email client that requires access over my device (ex: screen lock control). Is there a good app that allows me to bypass that (like Davmail for a computer)? It doesn’t need to be open source, I just need something that works without crazy control over my phone.

    I know this doesn’t answer the question but I want to offer some advice instead.

    In my opinion just don’t. If the company want you to have access to emails on the go then they should give you a company phone. If they don’t, why are you trying to? Don’t put work things on your personal phone.

    Nine can do applevel or security for exchange so you don‘t have to give your company control over your phone. Bonus points if you sandbox it in work profile via Island.

      I don’t know all the other apps listed here but I do know last I looked Nine was the only one that actually had Exchange ActiveSync support. ActiveSync is a licensed protocol so you won’t find it supported in a free app, open source or not, not without some alternative monetization that compromises your privacy. Nine has no ads and doesn’t run through their cloud. It also optionally isolates the security model to the app so remote wipe and other employer policies don’t apply to your OS. I also didn’t want the corporate address book integrated with my personal one, and it lets me keep that separate, too.

      I second Nine. It’s a great app but has its price. Comes with a free trial for I think 14 days.

      I second this. The Outlook PWA for mobile is actually a fairly decent example of a web app done right compared to a lot of other ones, it works in Firefox for Android, supports notifications, and can be installed to the home screen.

    If you install it under the work profile in Android does it still get screen lock control?

    Does Spark work? It is the only other mail app I’ve tried and it was ok. I don’t know if it supports exchange though.

      FairEmail only supports IMAP and POP3 but these protocols are disabled according to the OP. So this sadly isn’t an option. Very good email app though. I can recommend it.
