Email App

[Caveman_Jack]

Hi guys. I'm a little new to Android, and I'm looking for an email app to meet my needs; which are relatively few. Basically just a good clean interface, and the ability to access my work Office 365 account's address book without integrating with my device's contacts. There are literally 10,000+ names and addresses and I don't want them clogging my device contacts.

I really like AquaMail. It will handle Office 365. Extremely configurable with options galore. You might even find it's more than you really need now, but it should do anything you need later on. Really fast and stable too.

Thanks, I'll give it a look.

I downloaded and tried Aqua Mail, and so far it seems to do exactly what I need. Thanks.

Nice, AquaMail has been my go-to non-gmail email client recommendation for a while now. Great app and the developer is very responsive if you do happen to run into any problems.

AquaMail works really well for Gmail too. It's all we use for all our accounts on all our devices.

I have been using Blue Mail, which recently changed its name to Type Mail. I quite like it and of all that I have tried, it seems to do the best job.

I understand why you choose Type, it is good. It's a little less capable than AquaMail, but that makes it simpler too.

But I need the functionality of AquaMail, and once you take the time to learn at least some of all the plethora of tricks it can do, you don't want to use anything else again. I'm addicted to it.

AquaMail has options for customization out the wazoo. In fact, AquaMail will do almost anything a desktop client can.

OK Crash, I've always read your posts and was a fan, BUT NOW I HATE YOU!!!

After your reply to my post, I couldn't help myself. I spent my entire lunch hour satisfying that intense urge to change something that wasn't even broken. I used to use Aquamail and really liked it, then the urge to change came over me and I found (at the time) Blue Mail. I really liked it and was happy with its operation. I have just recently bought a new tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2) and so now the need to tinker is refreshed and new in my brain. Your little ditty on Aquamail was just enough to push me over the edge. I am now running Aqua on both my S4 and my Tab Pro. I hope you are happy with yourself. Wonder how long it will take me to get the urge to change to something else?

I really like the way Aqua looks on this new tablet. Thanks for the push.

Haters gonna hate...

Once you get the hang of it - and that's a little bit of work - AquaMail kills every other email client I've tried. So many options, some well hidden.

I've used AquaMail long enough I think I have a fair grasp of most things. Any questions please ask.

As soon as I quit hating you, I'm sure I'll be back.

Am liking what I see thus far.

Nine is the best email app I've tried by quite some way. It's not cheap, but you get 14 days trial for free to see if you like it

Just so readers are aware, Nine is a terrific, full-featured Microsoft Exchange client. But AFAIK it does not and never will support POP3, and at least for now does not support IMAP.

Nine is nice for exchange, but it just wasn't working for the way i process email. The developer didn't seem that they were going to implement my suggestion. Basically my complaint is that if i move a message from a synced folder to a non synced folder, the message remains in the all mail view. Seems dumb to me, but apparently I'm the only one who thinks so. The only way to get it out of all mail view is to do a full resync, which is a big pain. If i don't do that, my all mail view gets too large and is unmanageable.

Based on some of the posts here, i gave aqua another look and seems like it might work much better for me. Seems like the smart folder only shows mail in synced folders.

It doesn't support push for exchange with is a killer for many, but not me and calendar, out of office and similar more complex operations are handled much better in nine, so i will keep it on my phone if i ever need to do that, but i think my flow will be much better with aqua.

Yeah, Nine and AquaMail have different intentions. Nine is specialized for MS Exchange and does it well, but that's all. AquaMail is a general-purpose email client and does that well, but has somewhat limited Exchange support.

Different tools for different jobs.
