Best Gmail replacement app? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can any recommend a good Gmail client? Tried both K-9 and Emoze but neither have threaded conversations which is a deal breaker for me. Also, a nice widget would be a big plus.

I'd prefer Incredimail or the stock email android app...

I use the official twitter app, does everything I need in a simple view. Since the update it now supports multiple accounts.

ok thanks, is it optimized for the tablet?
I went to the Android market but the 'Twitter' app looks like it's for the phone, is there a HD version?
thanks
im using this one does everything i need

I like plume, it has an in app browser function to view links which works very well.
I like this one:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.thedeck.android.app&feature=search_result
But then again, I use it for my Facebook too.
I use the stock twitter, it may not be designed for tables but they designed it to scale correctly so it looks relatively good.
I've also used TweetComb, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chriswstewart.twitter&feature=search_result, with good results.

Does it sync your FB contacts to the phone?
I use this app as well, as a replacement to the official FB app, but I can't sync with it, or even add it as a sync account in the Settings...
You dont need an app for that. You need to add the contact as a google contact and then join the google contact with the matching facebook contact. Then the pics should sync.

That is a great way!!! If only the Facebook contacts could be synced to the phone properly with ICS.... mmmmmm, maybe I'll open a post that will tell me how to sync the FB contacts to the phone, so I could join them with my google contacts...!
DA!!!!

C'mon really. I was a being a good sport and went along with Moonshield's and CaelanT's joke. Anything further is just being immature. I'd expect better from a "Senior Member".
Uninstall and reinstall
I had the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the facebook app, and leave it on charging with wifi connected (As per my settings) overnight, and everything was in by the morning.
My FB contacts sync aok using FriendCaster on CM9 [ADT's SelfKANGish build 8]. Receive status updates, notifications, etc, also no problem.
Really, guys?

Hi, I've always liked Kaiten Mail, as an alternative.
The added good thing with those alt apps is that you can restore many accounts at once with Titanium Backup

My problem with Kaiten Mail and a number of other alternatives is the extremely tortuous way of getting Exchange email to work. I still think the stock email client is good enough. I have configured virtually all my email accounts (including Exchange and gmail) in it without having to wave my hand 7 times to the violet band of the rainbow!

Oh, I guess that remark is fair enough.
I do not need Exchange, so I do not have to suffer through it's setup
Kaiten mail has many options, so i guess it works, but not easily :/

Good alternate for Xperia's email app?

Hello Everyone,
I moved from Xperia to Pixel and i really miss the Xperia's email app. I used to set it up to access email's from work (Exchange server) and i could see the calendar on Google's calendar as well. I know i can do this if i set up Gmail to access work email but Gmail has issues syncing Sub-Folder and the Outlook app is well plain ugly and does not sync with Google calendar.
Do you guys know of any email app that works like Xperia's email app?
Regards
Sanjay
I've not used Xperia mail, so cannot comment on how it compares, but fory work exchange account I will use nothing but Nine. It's awesome and handles sub folders great and also integrates with Google Calendar. It's not cheap, but it is so worth the money IMO.

Imagine Nine being made by Sony and being offered for free, preinstalled on Xperia phones
I am looking for a free app and if i do not find one, will have to settle with 9
I have been using Spark. It is new to Android but, has been out on iOS for a long time. I got use to using it on my iPad and I really like it.
My favourite email app is the LineageOS email app. It can be downloaded from APKMirror. If you use Swift Installer, it won't be able to theme it to dark though, so you might need to install Swift Dark or Swift Black with Substratum if you want a dark theme.

LG v30, what email app do you use?

So last night, I can no longer use Inbox by Gmail. Don't know what Google did, but they are able to block dedicated users such as myself.
Gmail is filled with ads and the stock LG email app doesn't bundle emails. Any XDA member want to recommend a solid email app that goes good with the lgv30?

Where do ads show up? I don't see any ads in Gmail... But I use an ad blocker.
I use Gmail for personal email, and Nine for corporate email.

I've never seen an ad in Gmail either. How does that look?
I've used Blokada for a year or two, but never saw ads before that either.
Blokada requires hardly any configuration, just install it and go. Works in all apps. I use an older version, though, which doesn't require registering for their VPN.

Oh, you can't block these ads. They look like emails . They come in social-promotions-updates.

I wasn't aware of ads in gmail, but wasn't using it anyway. I prefer outlook, I like the interface and it integrates nicely with other microsoft services, if you use them.

Wow! I've never seen anything like that in Gmail. But I only have Primary Inbox enabled in settings, none of the fancy ones. That must be why: No ads in Primary Inbox.
I'm tempted to try to reproduce the ads on my Gmail, just for curiosity, but I won't, in case I can't get rid of them again
As far as ads go, these are unobtrusive and easily ignored

I'm using Gmail for personal e-mail and stock LG e-mail client for my university account. It's quite good for my activities. But still if I need to write something I preffer do this on my laptop [emoji14]

Use a burner account if anything. Yeah, 1 ad from Google and your life is over.
Reminds me of a bad 80's movie that came true.
Out of all the email app suggestions, nothing comes close to Inbox by Gmail.
never in my life could I have thought email could be that good.

No I was just curious. Fortunately I've got enough work to occupy me to leave curiosity alone
I've been pretty happy with aquamail.
I been using Email by Edison Software, it's simple and no ads.

I've tried it, just seems like every email app lacks bundling.
As an example of bundling, if louder with Crowder posted 3 YouTube videos, I'll see 3 emails of it and have to delete all 3 emails.
Inbox by Gmail would take those 3 emails and make it look like 1 due to bundling.

I think I figured it out.
Messing around with Gmail and I selected my account. Looking at the options, I was able to opt out of ads.
Haven't had 1 in 2 hours. Could be a coincidence. However, that's a long time.
Only thing I see now in my promotions tab is from NewEgg and a few from bull City flavors and direct vapor.
This is why I like my promotions tab. It's relevant because I catch deals on things that I actually buy.
Sucks that I don't have a purchases tab like I did in Inbox.
Seems that I'll never be happy with an email app again. Seems so odd to feel like that. Email. Something so simple and yet Google actually got it pretty much 100% .
I can't even select all and batch delete in Gmail. WTF?!?
I've installed every email app on Play Store. I just don't like them. I wanna drive over to Google headquarters and slap every single person there. Maybe it will knock some sense into them. LMFAO
Anyone wanna take a bet on what Google kills off next? GBoard? Chrome? Chromecast? Keep Notes? Naaaa we all know it's going to be Google drive. LoL
