I’m tried of how terrible Gmail is. Id like an email client with folders or categories. If it can sort them automatically (like how Googles now defunct inbox app used to) that would be even better.
Edit: in a couple days or whenever the activity on this post slows down. I will update this post with a list of the most recommended email app.
I recently switched from gmail to protonmail. I might start paying for the cheapest subscription at some point once I fully migrate over. The mobile app is really sleek and I think it is better than gmails mobile app.
You can create folders and labels, but you need to go to the web version in order to make rules, but it all syncs up with the mobile app aswell. The website also works fine on mobile.
I used Nine for work email for years; it has the fewest “deal-breakers” in an email app that I’ve ever tried. Unfortunately, my company changed to Exchange Online and now only allows the official Outlook app.
As someone else mentioned, it’s UI is maybe a little cluttered. However, it’s also got the all the features I wanted. If you favor clean UI over features, look elsewhere. Otherwise, it’s worth the price of admission.
I use FairEmail. The free version already has fairly advanced features, it’s open source and ad free, and you can customize it to your liking. Even the paid version is not a ripoff and feels like you are actually supporting the developer instead of throwing money at a greedy company.
Been using Nine on my personal device, as Outlook was horrible at syncing with IMAP accounts (only synced on demand, never in the background). On my work device, I do use Outlook, but with an O365 account it does work as intended.
To be completely honest, Outlook is more user friendly (and free), but Nine can be customized in greater detail. If not for the sync headaches, I likely would’ve stayed on Outlook, I’m not a mail power user, which is where Nine shines.

Gmail, personally. Can’t beat it.
Otherwise, I’d like to switch to Proto for the security.
I liked Spark, and right now I use E-mail by Edison. Clunky name, but good solid email app. Nice UI, multiple accounts.
I like K9 Mail, and it’s cool that they’re collaborating with Thunderbird to transition it to a mobile version of Thunderbird.
I use protonmail and have a paid account there. They have filters that can automatically move mails to folders or give them a label.

I use protonmail as well. Can you create folders and set your rules for them from mobile in proton?

I want features more than anything else lol You’re at least the third person to recommend nine, so I’m going to go ahead and install it, thanks!
I like Microsoft Android Apps, and I always felt like Outlook is pretty good if you have O365. Zero complaints.
I bought Nine and used it for a while, but I just felt like it was a bit too cluttered for an email app.
Not much of a choice to switch webclients. But on clients I’d start with Sparkmail. Except if you are on Linux… mac/win/ios/android only.
I’ll give sparkmail a try. Do you happen to know if they collect data from your emails when using their app?
FairMail is great, and gets updates frequently.
Definitely going to try this one out. I love a good open source email client.
I find Spark mail to have the best UI
Agreed, I’ve tried plenty of Email clients over the past couple of years and keep going back to Spark.
Thanks, I’ll check it out
Ooof. I guess I’m just too old school: I hate the idea of “renting” software.
I don’t pay for Spark so idk what you mean
Altho I’m not opposed to paying for software if it means funding ongoing development and improvement
I use FairEmail. The free version already has fairly advanced features, it’s open source and ad free, and you can customize it to your liking. Even the paid version is not a ripoff and feels like you are actually supporting the developer instead of throwing money at a greedy company.
I’ve tried a few times I just can’t get myself to like the UI
Tutanota has been great.

Another nice thing with Nine is you can configure it to not wipe your whole device if your admins decide to do that to you.
Absolutely true. Sad thing is my company only allowd for Outlook as a mail client, so using Nine for my work mail isn’t an option.
I use the Outlook app and Gmail, Outlook for the same reason (work) but also because it does the job.
After reading this post though I’ll probably try others, I’ve seen good things about Nine before, anything you’re not liking about it?
Not really, it gets the job done. It’s a real client for power users, so you can get lost in the details of the configuration, but you don’t have to.
I’ve seen nine recommend before. Other than syncing, are there any other features nine has that you like?
To be completely honest, Outlook is more user friendly (and free), but Nine can be customized in greater detail. If not for the sync headaches, I likely would’ve stayed on Outlook, I’m not a mail power user, which is where Nine shines.
Started getting tired of the ads in gmail, so last week switched to K9 Mail. Liking it so far.
Mine stopped sending emails all of a sudden this week. Are you able to send emails using k9 with a gmail account?
Yep, still working for me. Had to set it up with an App Password, as I couldn’t get it to work without.
Si
Apparentlly they collaborate with Thunderbird so there will be Thunderbird for Android
All I want is a Gmail app that uses my desktop signature, how the hell is that not the default?
