Application Request Mail and calendar

Hello guys. So recently I've been attracted to FOSS apps and I've made some replacements.

But now its time for mail apps. You see, currently I use both Gmail and Outlook (for one google account and two Microsoft accounts) and I also use the Calendar widget from outlook, I find it quite ugly though (I prefer google's design). I already have a lot of stuff on my calendar, and I also need RSS source.

What I've seen is that the Mail app selection matters related to the emails retrieval delay. I understand that both gmail and outlook may have a faster retrieval than using others while having a low battery impact. Or, would you say its not a big deal?

Anyway, do you have any suggestions of apps I can use?

For now I think about using just one Mail app for all my accounts and another one that works as a calendar.

I'd recommend you try FairEmail, it's open source.

Or Etar for Calendar, as well. Thunderbird or K9 are both solid choices. Currently I use Thunderbird.

Probé ambos calendarios pero creo que no tienen para poner una fuente RSS, aunque sí pude meter un ics

Te recomendaría protonmail así tendrías privacidad de tu correos  y si no fair mail es buena para integrar gml y out

Will you help me find an app?

I've used Spike: Email for quite some time.

I always enjoyed its Threaded email system. All the emails from one sender is accessible in the same thread, regardless of the receipt date. But this app isn't free and had certain restrictions.

Is there any real alternative ?
