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 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.

    K9mail. Mozilla collaborates with the dev. There’ll be a Thunderbird for Android based on k9mail.

      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.

    Protonmail is my favorite email app/service. I’ve been using it the last 2 years and it’s been a great experience.

    I was using Spark for the past few years because it was the closest thing I could find to Inbox that supported non-Gmail emails. A few months ago they put out a major update (v3) that completely borked it for me. It constantly crashes on both iPadOS and Android, so I’ve moved onto K-9 Mail and am waiting for Thunderbird to come out on iPadOS.

    I didn’t use K-9 for the longest time because I had a poor experience with it the first time I tried it many, many years ago. Between then and now it looks like they refreshed to Material Design and have significantly improved the UX. I’m happy with it.

    Bluemail is my app of choice. I have four different email accounts and like how easy it is to manage each of them.

    Is there an email client that can sort emails by Primary, Social, and Promotions like how the Gmail client does? Also when using another client to send an email, all the email contacts don’t get autofilled like how gmail has it.

      I’ve just started using spark, and it seems pretty close.

      It has ‘newsletters’ which is basically ‘promotions’, and ‘notifications’ which is more of the important stuff like eBay and Amazon receipts and Google security notifications because you signed into a new email app 😂

    I liked Spark, and right now I use E-mail by Edison. Clunky name, but good solid email app. Nice UI, multiple accounts.

    I use protonmail and have a paid account there. They have filters that can automatically move mails to folders or give them a label.

      Agreed, I’ve tried plenty of Email clients over the past couple of years and keep going back to Spark.

      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
