Hi Pranesh,

I don't know of any other matured open source email client other than
AOSP mail app and K-9 Mail. F-Droid search
(https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=mail&fdpage=1&page_id=0) only shows K-9 Mail as a real e-mail client.
I will not integrate this into closed-source clients, because I think it
is a waste of my time. That said, the API lib is Apache licensed, so if
any closed-source programmer wants to integrate it, he/she can do it.
If you find any MIME-capable open source client, inform me :)

Regards
Dominik
