I think mail-in-a-box should recommend this software instead of current recommendation.

[https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=dav&fdid=at.bitfire.davdroid](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=dav&fdid=at.bitfire.davdroid)

Reasons:

1. CardDav and CalDav are both supported and free.
2. Its opensource and its free.
3. It supports TLS 1.2
4. It combines both apps into one.
5. Its free.
6. Its actively being updated and supported.

You have to install f-droid app to download from res. Really easy. Or download apk directly.

I have used this before and currently with owncloud .

Working great. The box now recommends it: [https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox/commit/ac49912b398965937f4db0678467357a43b7e560](https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox/commit/ac49912b398965937f4db0678467357a43b7e560)
