Donationware: you must donate to use it. Not like regular optional donates.

You can use it for free, you just need to donate to get rid of the banner and to get all features.

The bare functionality is in fact free

That's not a donation, that's just a purchase

Not if it has all the essential features, it has no 3rd party ads, tracking and is a privacy focused mail client.

I only bought i because i could test it for months and saw everything works and it being updated and well maintained, it's kinda pricey for a mail client.

There are for sure nagging experiences in other programs, Fairmail is not one of them.

You're paying them for something. That's a purchase, not a donation.

I'm not disputing that. I'm just finding it silly to call purchases donations.
