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.

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'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

I have been using the stock app for my work email (gmail for personal), and just switched to this one. The main reason I switched is that Enhanced Email allows me to select multiple messages and mark them as read, or perform other actions on them. If there is a way to do that with the stock application, I couldn't find it. That alone is reason enough for me to switch.

I bought enhanced email about a month ago. The main reason leaving stock email was because I would delete emails, close the email app, and then I'd get another email notification for the emails I just deleted. I'd have to reopen the email app just to reset the notifications.

Enhanced mail handles attachment better than stock and any other client. You get and email with an attachment and you want to forward it automatically forwards the attachment. This is huge for me for work.

Downloaded it earlier and configured it just now for my Hotmail account (I know, but it's too much effort to switch). I love it so far.
Before I was using the stock Froyo app on my Desire but it had a lot of short comings (no html, no text copy, when I forward an email it would send it as an attachement!). Tried K9 which I liked, but it doesn't support EAS. Tried Nitro, but it was overkill for what I wanted as it is aimed more at corporate accounts.
So far EE ticks all the boxes...hope it stays that way.

you need a valid card on file with Amazon in order for them to process the order. they may need to charge $1 temporarily, but it doesn't go through. their payment system definitely won't accept closed accounts, free or not.

Enhanced Email is good. So is K-9 Mail, which I use.
Depends on how you are setting up your email account...
If using Exchange, Enhanced Email is pretty nice.
However, if using POP 3, I found Enhanced Email to have the same flaky bugs you are experiencing now.
I ended up using K-9 Mail. I did not like the icon for K-9 so I also installed K-9 Icon. It is a more professional icon/widget that just has an envelope with a message counter (although the counter only updates every minute). Plus K-9 Mail/K-9 Icon are free. I like free.
It's clearly not advertised well, but Kaiten is the new and improved version of K-9. I've been using it for over a year now.

It should be noted that Kaiten (a play on K-10, the successor to K-9), like Enhanced Email, is a paid app,while K-9 is still free. Nothing against paid apps, mind you--I use quite a few. I just wanted to make it clear.

I don't think this will do mutiple accounts, but by far the best Exchange mail app I've used is TOUCHDOWN by Nitro.
One of the things I LOVE about it, as opposed to using the built in Android mail app, is that any 'remote' admin features are ONLY applied to the Touchdown app.
ie: if your Exchange admin requires a password to get into your mail... if you use the standard android, you have to type it in every time you unlock your phone.... if you use Touchdown you only need to type it in when opening Touchdown.
And most importantly, last I checked, if the Admin wants they can remote wipe the DEVICE if you use the built in mail app.. with Touchdown they can only wipe the mail app's data.
I've used it for several years across multiple companies and it's pretty damn awesome. (It's not just mail btw.. it's also exchange calendars, and Tasks.. and they sync with the built in calendars and almost all widgets).
Hi mates,
Today,I got my code for ThemerApp.
Wanna try it...

It requests an access to my Facebook account with full access to my personal information and friends list!!!
Why? Can someone tell me why a "THEMER" App requires my friends list?
I uninstall right now!
Pathetic
dont know why they do this. you can also use your google account but this as bad as using the fb-account.
although i really like this app this is really a nuisance !
The only reason I made this workaround so people can use themes without logging in to any accounts. Although it seems to be a trusted app, but it doesn't take long for any database to be hacked. Hope more themers use this.

because it's not just a simple theme app, it's a launcher with widgets of every kind (social networks included), rss feeds, etc.. and to display notifications correctly it needs full access.

I can understand a launcher with social network integration requesting access to social networks but I can't understand why it's mandatory.
I do NOT use social networks but I want to try this launcher out. It doesn't let you proceed without adding an account.

Like I said, we use our Google accounts for the Play Store. What's the difference? Besides, couldn't you make a dummy Google account? That's not too difficult to do.

Isn't it a bit too much that I have to make a fake account just to use one app?

Isn't it a bit much to be all paranoid that MyColorScreen is gonna go spying on you? :eyeroll:
Just calm down and relax. I'm sure they don't care about your personal info.

Besides, if you really wanna use the app and are THAT worried about your personal info, making a dummy account won't be a big deal. It's not a "bit much" at all. You're talking as if it's an ordeal to do, or a huge inconvenience.
And speaking of dummies, the people freaking out about Themer are the same people that feel perfectly fine with using Google for their Wallet service, or for their email, or even for Google Play. It's the same thing as logging into an account to use Themer. Besides, only a total idiot would turn over crucial data to the internet these days.
Jeez. People....

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't MOST "Widgets" in Launchers require those kind of permissions? Look at Zooper Widget's Permissions:
They access those Apps to run them, so.. someone enlighten me on the difference please?
Ohmergod! This app is spying on us, wahhhhhhhh. Half the damn apps on our phone require access to our personal info and you're going to get your panties in a bunch over Themer using it? Not sure if serious.

Its not Themer spying on us that people are worried about. Its what happens "if" their database gets hacked into the same way WhatsApp and TrueCaller got hacked recently.
But the Gmail permission is certainly understandable since it needs it to show the Unread Count in Everything Widget and having a bit of experience developing apps, I'm pretty sure there's no other way to get the counts.

Very true. But like I said, if people are really that worked up, they can use a dummy account.

data. so that they can promote it further. or maybe just get info on who all are downloading their app, so that they can improve it further
