The importance and usefulness of emails haven’t gone down over the years. It has been around since the dawn of the Internet and since they are not going anywhere for the near future, why not utilize the best services available out there to manage them better. The stock Gmail app for Android is good enough for casual users, but it does not pack the functionality which can ease the workload of pro users. Also, the latest update plastered an all-white coat to the Gmail app and I hate that it doesn’t have a dark mode yet, so, like me, you may be in search of its alternatives. Well, whether you’re looking to substitute the official Gmail app or crave for something extra, here are 10 best email apps for Android you should try.[br][br]Best Email Apps for Android in 2019[br][br]1. TypeApp[br][br]TypeApp is possibly one of the most feature-rich email apps for Android. The interface is not the most modern, I know, but it’s easy to access and find your way around. I’ve been using it for a couple months and absolutely love how quickly you can jump between the multiple accounts and important folders. The app supports swipe gestures to archive, snooze, mark as read or delete emails. The snoozed emails and tasks are displayed in one of the tabs at the top.[br][br][img src="https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/typeapp.jpg"][br][br]TypeApp also includes a dark theme, which is a must for me, especially since the official Gmail app donned an all-white UI just recently. You can further customize the looks and have nifty features like quick reply, undo send, volume key scrolling, club emails into clusters, and see contacts, as well as calendar events within the app.[br][br]While TypeApp is packed with features to the brim, the number of interactive zones and settings here can feel overwhelming to some. There’s also the Blue Mail app ([a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.bluemail.mail"]Free[/a]) that looks and feels exactly the same, with minor UI changes, and these are one of the best e-mail apps for Android.[br][br]Install: ([a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trtf.blue"]Free[/a], with in-app purchases starting at $1.99)[br][br]2. Nine Mail[br][br]Well, if TypeApp looks too cluttered to you, then you’re going to like the neat and simple interface of Nine Mail. This is one of the most easy-to-use email clients for Android that packs all of the common features like contact and calendar integration, attachments and tasks view, a rich text editor, and multi-account support. There’s swipe gestures and themes, along with passcode/ fingerprint unlock and the option to encrypt all of the data.[br][br][img src="https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/nine-mail.jpg"][br][br]Nine Email and Calendar also packs a dark mode, as well as a true black mode for all you AMOLED smartphone users out there and it’s fantastic. However, this app is also made for you if you’re too concerned about your privacy. Nine Mail stores all of your info on the device instead of syncing the same with its own servers in the cloud. This is the primary reason for someone to switch to this email app, but be prepared to shell out a license fee after the free trial ends.[br][br]Install: ([a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3"]Free[/a], 14-day trial followed by $14.99 license fee)[br][br]3. Email by Edison[br][br]Email by Edison is an elegant and intuitive email app that can easily replace the official Gmail app on your Android smartphone. Like most email clients, this app can manage all your accounts from various providers including Google, Yahoo Mail, AOL, Office 365, IMAP, iCloud and more. It is also snappy, packs swipe gestures and an intelligent assistant that can keep track of relevant info like bills and receipts, packages, and flight tickets among other things.[br][br][img src="https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/edison-mail.jpg"][br][br]Email by Edison is well-optimized and though it doesn’t offer you a ton of customization options, you get real-time notifications, auto-sorting of email by categories, undo send and the option to efficiently manage your subscriptions. You can favorite all your important subscriptions while unsubscribing the ones that seem useless. It also brings support for Android Wear smartwatches, where you can view notifications and reply via voice, which can surely come in handy for many users.[br][br]Install: ([a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.easilydo.mail"]Free[/a])[br][br]4. Outlook[br][br]If you’ve ever got the chance to check out Outlook on your Windows PC or the web, well, you know that it is one of the best email clients. And since it’s developed by Microsoft, I knew I can expect a similar feature-rich experience on Android as well and I wasn’t disappointed at all.[br][br]Microsoft Outlook is one of the cleanest and well-designed email apps for Android and it handles all the basics like syncing and filtering of emails pretty well. The inbox is divided into 2 section – focused on important emails and others for junk. It also has an in-built calendar for a quick look at your upcoming meetings or hangout events.[br][br][img src="https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/microsoft-outlook.jpg"][br][br]In addition, Outlook also has multi-account support, swipe gestures, and makes it really simple to access documents and edit them on the fly with Word, Powerpoint, and Excel integrations. That’s not all though, you also have the option to attach add-ons such as Evernote, Jira, and Trello among other apps to further your productivity. However, I resent that Microsoft removed the files and cloud features from Outlook that were a boon for pro users.[br][br]Install: ([a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.outlook"]Free[/a])[br][br][br]Install: ([a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.mail"]Free[/a], with in-app purchases starting at $1.99)[br][br] it. Aqua Mail also has a dark theme and it’s actually important to mention it for users wary of Gmail’s all-white assault. However, in my brief usage, the app takes more time to sync your emails than the other apps on this list.[br][br][img src="https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/aqua-mail.jpg"][br][br]The free version of Aqua Mail lets a user add up to two different accounts but you will need the Pro version to add more accounts and remove ads, as well as the app promo signature in sent mails. There’s also Android Wear support in tow here, which is an added benefit. This app is highly recommended for casual users who simply need to access their mail account and need a couple extra features than the Gmail app.[br][br]Install: ([a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kman.AquaMail"]Free[/a], with Pro version available at $9.99)[br][br][br] |
