Yep: https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/

Devs say they want to publish the app on F-Droid. https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/secure-mail-open-source

Did I get this right: the client is open source while the service that works in the backend and does 80% of the job is closed source?

So the source isn't of much use except for verifying that the encryption is robust?

In Protonmail client is open source, server and apps are not.
