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.
I believe Mozilla actually hired the dev not that long ago.

I use FairEmail. It’s very privacy focused.
FairMail is great, and gets updates frequently.
Definitely going to try this one out. I love a good open source email client.
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?
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.
I liked Spark, and right now I use E-mail by Edison. Clunky name, but good solid email app. Nice UI, multiple accounts.
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 😂
Bluemail is my app of choice. I have four different email accounts and like how easy it is to manage each of them.
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.
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.
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?
I find Spark mail to have the best UI
Thanks, I’ll check it out
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
I like K9 Mail, and it’s cool that they’re collaborating with Thunderbird to transition it to a mobile version of Thunderbird.
