Recent reviews
The app is reasonably good. Best thing I like about the Hey email is the concept of "Bubble". I use it extensively. The biggest problem I have faced is that this app does not work very well with Mullvad VPN. The emails are not refreshing when using VPN. Another issue is frequent server error when offline or slow connection. Othe minor issue is contacts cannot be deleted from contact list. I would recommend getting another email like Mailfence and then accessing it using Bluemail app.

I've been a customer for probably 5 years. Recently I tried to auto forward an email and learnt that Hey doesn't support that. Seems like a means of locking in users having used the same process when Hey started to migrate you off other services. I will now look to migrate off this service.
