MODERATORS
I don't understand why there are so many surprised people in this thread. They've been doing this for a pretty long time now. Yahoo has been doing it for even longer.
Unless this is just people being fake surprised as a joke?
Since it's inception in fact. That's what made it free to use.
Vouching for FairEmail. It's by far my favourite mail client. It's material design and very safe cause it strips out all images by default or only tracking images if you choose.

Wait so Google is putting ads in its services now?
WHY UNIVERSE WHY
