Android email app preference - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good evening,
Looking for an alternative mail app that's ad free and maintained well by devs. I liked the classic look of K-9 but it wouldn't sync all my accounts.
So what are all your preferences? I'd like one app to cover all accounts (Apple, outlook,gmail) etc that can be individually set to push and manual.

[Q] For those of you with Gmail accounts...

Will you be using the gmail app or the stock email app?
The stock app has that cool 2 paned viewing thing, (inbox on one side, emails on the other) but the gmail app was made for gmail. I was just wondering what you guys prefer.

I myself don't like using multiple apps to access all my mail accounts. If I can get away with adding all my accounts to a single mail client then that's the route I'm taking regardless of the various features and benefits the individual apps themselves might have. I like to keep things simple.
Gmail app.
Very good label support
I use both!

I'm with you. I like everything in a nice, neat package.
I use the GMAIL App, to keep things simple and not all over the place.
I have always used the Gmail app. I have all my emails come into one place instead of trying to look through different apps for email. Centralized and consistent. Plus I love the labeling feature.
Gmail app is trash. I don't understand how come doesn't offer zooming and icon or widget notification. Stock does. I guess is another dumb apple patent conflict crap.

Is there a way to only get notified of mail in your priority inbox. The Gmail app system it supports this, but it doesn't. There are almost no settings at all! You used to be able to set a custom notification tone, too...:banghead:

K-9 and maildroid have always been better than gmail or stock app to me
has option to put all mails from all acounts in one scrollable folder if wanted to

Best Mail app?

Is there an alternative mail app that compares to the iphone mail client. The current mail app is not up to par for my needs and I do not not like the user interface

I prefer k9 mail. The user interface takes some getting used to, it's not that intuitive but it gives me a customizable unified in box and works well once you figure out how to navigate through it.

Describe some of your needs or maybe something you'd prefer in the interface. Maybe someone can go off that.
I agree with KingWp1 put some criteria down. I personally think the iPhone email app is weak and leaves a lot to be desired in a mobile mail app.

I've used k9 for a long time, but upgraded to kaiten when I got my Nexus 7 because I wanted dual panes. It's basically the tablet version of k9, but has some extra features and still works good on the phone.

Well really the ios mail app suited my needs completely, I don't really know how to explain it. I like how I don't have to resize the message on iOS that's my main delema

As mentioned, a little bit more info of your requirements would be helpful in suggesting a specific app. I personally did not like the stock Mail app that came with the S3. The problem I found was that if I read an email from my Outlook on my PC, the notification would not go away on my phone. I had a Galaxy Nexus before this and the mail app there would clear the notification, without me having to clear it, if I read the email from Outlook. I ended up removing my current mail + exchange app and replacing it with the stock ICS mail app:

Some good news, Google acquired Sparrow. It is the best mobile mail client I have ever used, looking forward to it coming to Android.
I just started using MailDroid free myself. The pro version is expensive, but I'll see what I thing after I've been using it a while.

Checkout Enhanced Email from the Market. Excellent support Daniel does an awesome job.
I use touchdown, but set my email up as a hosted exchange server

I need exchange support so I use touchdown, works great and worth the coin

I create unique return address for everyone I send emails to, K9 is the only app I could find that allows change the return address. Only because of that feature I'm stuck with K9, although don't like how difficult and not intuitive the interface is.

Email client

I am looking for a good email client for my phone and tablet. I have tried K9 and the Samsung clients but looking for something better. Anyone have some good ones?

I use Gmail. Always works for me.
Guess I should have added that this is for a non-gmail account. I do use gmail for my gmail account but I have a few other email accounts that I need a good client for.

Have all your other accounts push to Gmail and sort with auto filters?

I use touchdown by nitrodesk. My favorite and I've tried about 6. Moxier would be #2. though this is for exchange mail. so YMMV.

I vote Touchdown as well, but...................
Beware the sent emails that go missing completely (no success). Never fails to be a long and important message that disappears with no chance of recovering.
Also beware the included contacts app. Cannot create / nor edit a new exchange contact. Actually you can, but it will not sync with exchange.
There is a work around for this one.

I am a huge fan of AquaMail. It's so much better than MailDroid or K-9, the more "praised" mail apps. Try it out and I think you'll be happy.
Touchdown and Gmail here. Manage work contacts with touchdown and personal contacts via gmail. Keeps things nice and clean
I use MailDroid for my very finicky school email that doesn't work with a lot of other email apps. Never had a problem with it.
I see a lot of people recommending TouchDown, but I believe AquaMail to be superior to it. I've also tried MailDroid, K9 and they aren't as good as AquaMail.
Aquamail.

How is gmail on aqua? Does it get pushed or do you have to have it sync at certain times to get mail?

^^ IMAP Push works great in Aquamail for Gmail account.

Exchange email app with 'domain' field

This might sound like a strange request, but here it goes.
I am looking for a mail app that supports Microsoft Exchange and allows me to fill in the domain. Most email apps support exchange, but only give the option to fill in the server (and email/password).
The standard email app used to have this option, but not anymore. Touchdown has this option as well, but it a bit too expensive for my taste.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Best email app

Hello
Right now using gmail and Outlook apps for my emails. I want to know your views on the email app you use and why you consider it better or best, including the stock app
Thanks

Always hated the look of gmail and was a big fan of the Outlook app... the past 3 months, Outlook has been horrible... laggy and unreliable. Still use it but now I am enjoying the new Inbox by Gmail. Great UI, fresh new look. Not yet as powerful as Gmail but I am sure they will enhance it slowly.
I tried inbox, didn't like it.
I have Note 10.1 2014 and Note 3, so want an app that works on both. I have gmail, Hotmail and yahoo accounts so...... need something versatile.

Yes, but it doesn't let me chose how and when to sync the email. There's no option for push, fetch or manual.

I'm using Cloudmagic right now. You can use it with every account you have, and it gives you the ability to create a cloudmagic account, so you can log in on other devices to sync them all.

Sticking with blue mail for now.
For now i am using nine(play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3&hl=en), simple interface and user friendly app. What make me purchase this app is, this email have app level security so my company can't remotely control my android security including wiping everything on my phone.
Aquamail is one of the extremely few android apps I've ever spent money on. I've used it with several major email providers. It's as easy and as heavy-duty as any email sw I've ever tried. The UI is no-nonsense, compact, easy to use and read. And the author/owner will actually communicate with you if you need that.
