MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Sorry for the dull as thread.
Wife is taking the convert household's first foray into Android after years as servants to our apple overloads. A Huawei.
But she hates the gmail app for her email in comparison to the old apple mail - finds it confusing and overly fussy. She is monitoring two email accounts on it.
Before I download a myriad of freebie alternatives do you have preferred app (that's not the gmail one).

Outlook.
Works perfectly.
Bluemail if using imap rather than pop3
I've been using Spark for years, and it's the best I've found. It's not perfect, so I regularly try other apps (Outlook recently, which was good but has no free desktop version).
It's the iOS version I've been using, but the makers, Readdle, constantly work at improving their stuff, so I imagine the Android version is just as good.
It's free, it has a good calendar, it has better 'swipes' than Outlook, it supports multiple accounts, and the 'snooze' and 'delay send' functions are reliable (those are the killer functions for me).
Like any decent app you'll need to play with the setting to get it to work how you like (I'd get rid of 'smart inbox' right away, for example), and the desktop version still has a few flaws, but I highly recommend it.
1) The specific email provider's client.
2) Chrome.
I’ve installed Spark. Liking first look of it. Thanks
K9 Mail. It is free/open source. Lots of option so you can customise it how you want. Works nicely with multiple accounts.
Outlook. Microsoft actually do some decent Android apps.
Personally I paid for Nine and haven't looked back. It's one of about 3 apps I've actually paid for and I don't regret it.
I had issues with Outlook in that it wouldn't consistently send emails. So I'd type up a work email, hit send and... discover three hours, or 2 days, later that it hadn't sent. Other than that, and slightly fiddly initial setup, it was pretty good.
Bluemail was great, but as other people have flagged on similar threads here, its policies around the privacy of your data are... interesting.
I looked at K9 Mail, but it looked way too complex for what I wanted, so I left it pretty quickly.
