I have no time to check my many email ids and have chosen not to link my phone number with them. Is there any app that can notify me every time I receive an email? (FOSS is preferred)

    The SimpleLogin back-end and web app (by simple-login)

  • If you're willing to re-architect your email setup you may also like SimpleLogin or AnonAddy. I think these services are both addressing the same issue and provide a unified inbox, but I don't know the finer details and differences. You have to decide if the upfront inconvenience of reworking your email warrants the long term benefit SimpleLogin or AnonAddy provide.

    Discontinued K-9 Mail – Open Source Email App for Android [Moved to: https://github.com/thundernest/k-9] (by k9mail)

  • On mobile if your email provider uses open standards like IMAP/SMTP/POP3 then check out email clients: K-9 mail or FairEmail. I assume you're talking about mobile - otherwise, on desktop I suggest Thunderbird, but there are many options. As an example, Protonmai doesn't work with either of these and does require using their dedicated app.
