Mobile App for mail (Nextcloud Workspace über IONOS) and tasks

📱 Desktop & mobile clients 🍏 iOS
1

Hi,

I am a private user of nextcloud workspace via IONOS.

I have two questions:

  1. I am using the nextcloud calendar app, the nextcloud note app and the nextcloud file app on my iphone. I would like to get access to my mails via a mobile nextcloud mail app on my iphone (by the way, if relevant, I use a mail domain which I booked via IONOS). Unfortunately I did not find a nextcloud mail app in the app store. Isn´t there a nextcloud mail app? Or is there at least one app in development?

I know I could take the long way around and integrate my email into, say, Office 365 Outlook or another email program. But I’d really prefer a Nextcloud app so I can be independent.

If there isn’t a Nextcloud mail app, do you perhaps have any recommendations for open-source mobile email apps that comply with European data protection regulations and into which I could integrate my Nextcloud email?

  1. I would like to acess my nextcloud tasks (also IONOS nextcloud workspace) via a mobile nextcloud task app. I didn’t find any here either. Is there one app in development?

Thank you in advance!
Best regards!

Hi @V_loves_DigiIndep

No, because at the end of the day, Nextcloud Mail is just an email client that connects to whatever email service you are using via IMAP. This means that you can use any email app on your phone, for example, the built-in iOS Mail app, and connect it directly to your email service.

Tasks are served via CalDAV, which iOS supports natively, so you should be able to add your Nextcloud account as described here (Synchronizing with iOS — Nextcloud 35 User Manual) and then your tasks should show up in the built-in iOS Tasks app.

However, I’m not using iOS myself, and I’m not sure if all the features, such as subtasks, work with the native iOS Tasks app. If not, the 2Do app, which is listed here (GitHub - nextcloud/tasks: ✅ Tasks app for Nextcloud · GitHub), might be worth a look. Or perhaps others here who actually use iOS have some more tips.
