Donationware: you must donate to use it. Not like regular optional donates.

That's not a donation, that's just a purchase

Not if it has all the essential features, it has no 3rd party ads, tracking and is a privacy focused mail client.

I only bought i because i could test it for months and saw everything works and it being updated and well maintained, it's kinda pricey for a mail client.

There are for sure nagging experiences in other programs, Fairmail is not one of them.

You're paying them for something. That's a purchase, not a donation.
