I'm using fair-mail as well. I still have Blackberry mail but will eventually drop the service. I'm in no hurry since is only costs a dollar a month, but fair mail is the first thing I found that even has hope of replacing Blackberry email. I need replace the BB hub calendar. 

I will probably buy the notification sound feature. 

I never liked K9 mail. It seemed to be power hungry.

I've been using FairEmail on my Android devices for my accounts (all IMAP,
so the messages stay on the servers and are readable in Claws-Mail or any
other client, but it does do POP). FairEmail is open source, supports
OpenPGP, doesn't store anything on third-party servers.  I ended up paying
for the pro version, which unlocks some additional features, but it's
certainly not essential.  I had one issue (which eventually turned out to
be a problem on my personal server; saslauthd had died) and the developer
was quite responsive in helping me sort it out.
