Hi,

Thanks for acceptance

Wondering if anybody here could help me with topics how to install a Linux email server in an Android system

Thanks in advance for help

Regards

Fili
 


Have you searched the Google Play store, or F-droid?

EDIT: I did, and found nothing.

What kind of Android device do you have?

I would think that the phone or tablet would have to be rooted, and maybe Linux installed.

Was told to install termux but the Android doesn't allow it
 
Do you actually want a server, or a client? What do you want to do on Android?
Thanks

I just want to install a Linux based email on an Android system/smartphone, that's it
I'm really not that expert, I thought Gmail, Hotmail, proton and so on were servers

I don't want to install Linux in my Android, in this smartphone doesn't worth it
I will im a more advanced smartphone but not in this one
 
Thanks

I tried to install thunderbird
It wasn't allowed

I have it installed on my Android phone, all you have to do is install it from the Google Play store and install. Then setup an account for whatever mail provider you are using.

Let's see
Thunderbird asked me for an email address already existent, it doesn't allow me to create a new one
Should I give my proton email address ?

You can't create a new account from the client, you need to do that on the Gmail or Protonmail website if you want to create a new account and otherwise login with an existing account.
 
I use thunderbird to access my proton mail, because I also have other email addresses. I use thunderbird to get all my email and put it into one combined inbox. Thunderbird is just an email client, and can fetch any email from any provider. It does not provide an email account, you have to provide that yourself, but you can have it fetch email from as many servers and accounts as you like. As you were told above, just install thunderbird using either the Google play store or f-droid, it's available on both. Use whatever email accounts you already have.

Ok I'll give my proton account
The thing is, proton told me the box was full and I couldn't receive any other E-Mails
Furthermore, I use proton not for long time now and they already say it's full and that I'll have to pay to have more space, what I obviously won't, if I had to, I would create a Gmail myself
Hope thunderbird works with proton already full
Thanks

Well, it really doesn't function
Now acces to my proton account was denied to thunderbird

Share screenshots of what you are seeing, as all applications installed on any Android device should have access to the same settings.
