Best email app

For some reason I've never really liked the gmail app.. for the past year I've been using k9 email but I'm looking to switch it up. Anyone have good recommendations?

Mail Droid has served me well. Decently robust and handles imap nicely.

Recently I came across aqua mail. This is an amazing app that I bought the very next day after using it for a day. (u don't need to buy it though it's fully functional without that).
Do give it a try, you'll love the awesome features in it.

My vote for Aqua Mail as well... HOWEVER, there is no great email client.

Installed aqua mail for about 2 mins until I saw it had no pinch to zoom feature. That alone wouldn't be so bad, but when HTML emails come through huge and you can't resize them to see without scrolling...that was a deal breaker. Gmail app works just fine for me

I found Aqua mail had some formatting issues on some email. The pictures would be Xed out or something. Plus it has no ability to connect Exchange accounts. I changed my email to using Gapps For Your Domain as per someone on here saying it was great and it is, only it's exchange email. Most free ones don't work with exchange so I'm back to default and Gmail. I would be totally willing to pay $3 to $5 for an awesome email client but there is no way I'm paying $20. There's two real good ones for $20 I believe.

check out Emoze
I had issues with weird behavior of the push and sync and I installed Emoze Push client which gives me the ability to push any type of email ,obviously Exchange and IMAP but even POP3 which is very limited email protocol.
I've done benchmarks with the stock ICS email client and with several third party clients like Touchdown, Moxier, K9 and I find that Emoze has the advantage in almost every aspect.
Push notification is stable and fast ,less than 60 sec.
Battery consumption is low ,I’m able to work in push mode without charging for 22 hours.
I’m quite a heavy email user so it was kind of a surprise to me because I used to have 6-8 hours max with only one account working in push.
I have 5 email accounts which is about 100-200 email per day so no kidding ,this one really improved my life ,I’m less paranoid about my battery.
Other features which are quit useful are the security options that allows you to find the device location by SMS or email
and also to remote wipe or block by SMS.
This is cool because you don’t need PC connected to the internet to get the job done ,you can simply send SMS to your phone number to activate the security process.

AquaMail - definitely!!

If you don't need exchange, AquaMail is definitely my recommendation. Also highly recommended buying the Pro key. The developer is FANTASTIC about implementing good suggestions as well as fixing reported bugs. Like you, I've been using K9 for quite some time and while I still have it installed and I keep updating the development versions, - and yes, I have to admit it's getting better and better - I never found reasons to ever go back to K9. AquaMail offers (common sense) options that K9 is still lacking: full screen - especially useful in landscape mode, far superior selection options as far as the email lists, much better menu icons selection & options, optimizations for low traffic data are merely a few examples of why you should try it. Once getting used to the rather extensive settings and customize it per your liking, you may also find your own reasons to stay with AquaMail. :good:
P.S AquaMail has its own page and forum - very informative and if you feel like contributing with suggestions or bugs, this is the place. Also here I found out that there were plans to eventually implement the exchange, however, Google's recent announcement to stop supporting exchange might change that.
Never experienced any pictures formatting issues or any other issues.

Checking all email accounts in Combined View

I have 7 different email accounts for work and home etc etc...
Its getting really really annoying to have to go into each to check the mail from that account.
Is there anyway check ALL email accounts at once from Combined View?
Seems like a hell of a thing to overlook.

Just noticed i put this in the wrong forum, my fault...Mods please move to correct forum.
Thank you and my apologies .

Been using k9 for a few days now. Like it. Its good. Kind of a shame that the stock email doesn't do it and we have to download another program for a simple thing like that. The program is a little choppy getting through all my mail, but I have tons of mail I haven't gone through yet.
Hopefully Google will change their mail app to include this feature at a later date.

Cool thing about k9 is that is actually built on top of the code for the stock email app. Improved if you will.

Just like how windows comes with WordPad for word processing but if you need anything more you buy office.
Stock email app works for most people. I have gmail and corp email and I like to keep them separated. My blackberry would combine emails and phone calls and messages and I hated it. I like keeping everything separate.

Exchange Mail App alternative?

All,
The default LG G3 Mail app is kinda meh....I hate the fact it does not allow me to view 'ALL EMAILS' under one, instead I have to manually toggle through my sub folders. I came from HTC One M7 and their mail app was the best I've used.
Can anyone recommend me other alternative that is not Touchdown? I hate the old looking UI of Touchdown.
I'm trying Nine Mail App now...so far so good? Any others?
Thanks!

Cloudmagic. It's a great app - very useful and it integrates with other apps you might use, i.e. Evernote, Pocket, etc.

I like AquaMail, but agree Cloudmagic is good (just hated the UI on Cloudmagic myself - specifically that it felt like I was wasting my huge screen because the app elements were huge themselves).

Take a look at Nine. I use it and like it a lot for my work's exchange email account
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3&hl=en

Yes, I'm currently using Nine now and its good. I wanted to see what other options are there. CloudMagic looks great, but don't like the fact they store our info/emails in their cloud.

Nine,I like it much more than cloudmagic

If you can get the stock KitKat email app to work with Exchange it should be a great option. Much of the same interface and goodness as Gmail, threaded emails, etc, etc. My problem is that I have now tried two phones and at least 5 custom ROMs (on my HTC One X) and I have never been able to get the stock KitKat app to work with Exchange. I have tried CleanROM, Viper, Paranoid, Cyanogen, ASOP, as soon as the OS is 4.4 or newer Exchange simply does not work. Things work with the 4.3 Email.apk and Exchange2.apk but that does not have threading. Yes, I have tried all sorts of posted workarounds, Exchange2Google.apk from various sources, etc, no luck. There are numerous threads out there from people claiming to have this problem. Must be a Google screwup because the Samsung, HTC, and LG OEM apps have absolutely no issues with Exchange under KitKat.
If anyone knows of a workaround please PM me or just respond to this thread.

Just suggesting,
I've had a lot of headaches trying to make my exchange work on android.
Auto settings never worked for me, i had to manually type the server user password and such.
My problem was that i was not typing the domain before username.
Im pointing this out because LG email app has a domain field and stock email app doesnt.
So what I do is I fill domain\[email protected] in username field on stock email app, and i use pod51015.outlook.com on server field. And it works like that. Server might be different for you.

Yeah, I have seen numerous people suggest that as a workaround but it has never worked for me. Perhaps the email server is not correct, I need to go talk to the IT guys. The annoying part is that the phone vendor email app always successfully auto-configures. It seems that everyone except Google has figured out how to do this correctly.

Well, I finally figured out how to make the stock kitkat 4.4 email app work. You can first let something like the oem email all run, then go look at the settings a day then manually reproduce them in the kitkat app. In my case I needed to specify the server as webmail.company.com and select the "all certificates" option.
However, it appears that I was wrong in my claim that the stock kitkat email apk threads. That is not the case.
Nine actually looks quite good, and just when I was wondering how they can afford to give away such a sophisticated polished app I noticed that there is a silent 7 day trial, after which it is pay to play. Seems to be worth the $10.

1st impression of Nine is very good. Paid for the $10 license less than 10 min after installing it.

It does look very good and the support is incredibly responsive. There is a bit of mystery Engrish in the menu items and some of the settings and UI are far from logical but that is a small price to pay for the functionality.

Do any of these apps integrate exchange emails into appointments on your regular calendar automatically?
Also I'm looking for one that doesn't make me put a ridiculous password on my phone.

Nine allows for this. Exchange and appointments into regular calendar. You are given the choice of applying security at the app level instead of the device level. So you only have to enter PIN when opening the app...not when unlocking the device.
There is an app called Enhanced Email that allows you to bypass security completely.

There are also a number of modules for Xposed that let you do the same at the OS level. The one I like best is called Lockscreen Bypass

using Newton for exchange email. honestly everything else feels incomplete - Newton has the feel of a polished iOS app. Gmail and the official Outlook app both had issues with push service not working - i'd only get new emails if i refreshed the inbox
having said that, Newton is yearly subscription for $50, so it's more than justifiable for me in a work capacity

I'm using aquamail and love it. I have it configured for exchange and Gmail. Interface is good and intuitive with great support for composing emails with attachments and pulling contacts from exchange server whether it's personal or from the GAL.

If you haven't already tried, you might have to set up a work exchange account manually. A lot of workplace and institutional exchange accounts use specific servers (not the generic Exchange or .live domain), ports, security, etc.
In most instances I've had to enter the smtp server manually, with the correct port and what not. This goes for several occupations I've had and even while I was attending school. You might be able to grab the settings logged into your exchange email at work or just hit up your IT guy and he should be willing to set it up for you.

Hmm.. There must be an option during setup that some apps might have and others don't. Shame, it's a nice email app...

I use Type Mail which used to be called Blue Mail.
I originally installed Blue Mail.
Then one day it updated itself via the Play Store updates and was suddenly "Type Mail".
Oddly enough, it looks like Blue Mail is still out there and being updated.
So IDK what happened there.
Both LOOK like the same exact app.
---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------
This thread made me finally get off my butt and email Type Mail with a support question:
Hi Folks,
First, I have a question. This was originally Blue Mail and then changed it's name to Type Mail overnight. But Blue Mail is still available on the Play Store. Are you the same app?
Okay, here is my issue that I hope you can help me with.
And I've had this issue on two phones, two OS's so far.
A Moto X Pure on Lollipop and now a Google Pixel on Nougat.
I did not have this issue on Marshmallow.
So, I disable "Battery Optimization" from TypeApp.
But Type App still seems to go into too deep a sleep?
If the phone has been sleeping for an hour and someone sends me an email, then Type App will not recognize that email and wake the phone.
It seems to only poll for email once every couple hours or something?
I've always used the "push" option when given a chance.
Thanks for the great app, please let me know if there is anything that can be done to ensure I am notified of emails more quickly.

Despite my email to them, I highly recommend Type App if you like lots of customization options.

Technically, I think the thread goes in Q&A since it's a question.
Themes is more for where you go to post themes for download or mention how much you like a theme/app.

Used to use Blue mail but moved over to Aqua it works great. You should really check their privacy statements and judge for yourself, that is the reason I switched.

I actually moved from Aqua to Blue because Blue worked better with Push notifications.
How is Aqua & Push doing for you? I have hotmail/live/yahoo/gmail accounts.

I use it for all the same types of accounts except for Gmail and the push is working fine via IMAP. What I like is the ability to use an email alias within the Aqua app, paid version of course.

what email application are you using?

For years I've used Gmail as my primary email app. And lately it seems worse than ever. Emails seem shower then normal, it will notify me even when the emails are syncing (annoying), and then takes a long time send. And now since their latest update, I have 2 apps for Gmail in my tray. What email app do others use I'm curious.

BlueMail. It's free, and basically perfect.

I use gmail, works flawlessly

Do you have any issues such as a duplicate icon?

This question is as old as Android..
I think I have been on all of them, free and paid. There isn't one that has no issues. All of them has great features. Some of them have better security, and the bottom line is, they are all not bad.
Now days, surprisingly, I'm back to the Samsung built in email app. Even my Gmail is on it ..

Tons of options. Amazing app.

BlueMail is the best Gmail replacement will never go back

I went from MailDroid (pro) over to Outlook. I loved maildroid, but the UI is/was very overdue for an update. Outlook has been a great replacement, and it integrates well with my PCs.

I'm using Spike email. It's very different. You can have the email format appear as a text thread. Also, I really love the oled black theme. Before this, I used Spark. And before that I enjoyed Bluemail.

I use Bluemail.
I have about 7 different email addresses and some are not Gmail accounts.
Bluemail has an export accounts option so when I switch devices I don't have to re enter all the addresses on the new phone.

Aquamail for me too

This! Nine is by far the best and most flexible email app out there. Same here btw, just a happy user ?

I'm using Fairmail, it comes with very good privacy roles and features and has cool features.

I tried Spark when it came out bit went back to Gmail. Then saw Spark made some updates and went back to it and I don't think I will use another app again. Now that it has dark mode and you can create folders. It is the closest thing to Inbox (RIP).
