The Best 4 Free Email Apps for your Android smartphone

When was the last time you cursed your phone for being too small to display correctly or record keystrokes correctly? Six inches of screen is not much real estate to be productive, and yet 75 percent of us are using our phones to manage our email.

If you fall into that category and use an Android phone, the Google Play Store has hundreds of email clients to choose from. You can throw in the towel and use the app that came preinstalled on your phone, but the stock Android apps will never be in competition. Trust us, we checked.

After used the 40+ most promising Android email apps. We have the list down to the best 4 Apps.

What makes a great Android email application?
A mobile email client needs to nail the basics: connecting to third-party domains, sending and receiving messages, searching your inbox, managing contacts, and keeping everything organized. Every app has a different method to achieve these basic email requirements, so we kept our eye out for the apps that did all this without us having to work for it.

The apps that made it to the final round of testing were actually built with small screens in mind. They were apps that we didn't mind using while waiting for a bus, running to a meeting, or exercising in the gym. Buttons that are easy to find and large enough to tap, workflows that require only one or two taps, swipe gestures that make sense - these are all the things we looked for. And, of course, the best mobile apps provide all the power of a web or desktop app, but not in a stripped-down version that feels bloated.

Finally, your Android email app should feel right at home on your Android, easily integrating with your phone's information system.

Best 4  Email Apps for Android We Used

• BlueMail for detailed customization
• ProtonMail to simplify security and privacy
• Outlook to integrate your calendar
• Edison Mail for newspaper addicts

Blue Mail

BlueMail is a modern and powerful email App with a sleek design, unified inbox and support for all your accounts
When you first open BlueMail, there isn't much to differentiate it from big-name competitors like Gmail or Outlook. The inbox layout is very standard: there is a tab to display popular contacts and their message histories, another for snoozed emails, and another for viewing messages made. This is the settings menu where this app actually earns its place in the list.

The default is light and dark themes, an easy option to automatically switch between them at certain times of the day, and a color picker to customize your theme. In addition, there are more than a dozen design options, among which read how unread and unread messages are differentiated by how your contacts' avatars appear in group emails.

Outside the application, you can configure even more visual options. If you are connected more than one, Blumel's unread icon badge can be reset each time you open the app or count unread emails from a single account. Notification settings are equally customizable, allowing you to determine how much of the message content is shown, not-so-annoying hours, and your Android's LED notification color - all on an account basis.

This application lets you block emails from an address, domain, or entire URL suffix such as annoying @ email.shop or send@toooften.blog. If you want an almost ridiculous amount of control over your email experience, Blumel can scratch that itch.

Proton Mail

ProtonMail is worth checking if you have the ability to send password-protected messages and emails randomly after a few hours, as it makes more sense than social integration and emoji keyboards. It is a delightfully easy-to-use app that prioritizes security and privacy.

ProtonMail never offers a window with more than five buttons, ranging from reading and reading messages to searching and organizing your inbox. For example, its Stark email composition interface has:, subject:, and text boxes for message bodies, plus buttons for password protection, message endings, and attachment files. Three text boxes, three features - that's it.

Keep in mind that most of ProtonMail's security features force the recipient of your email to open in a new tab, outside their inbox. They will get an email that says, "You got a secure message from your @ email.com - click here to see the secure message." It is not a completely comfortable experience, but it is best with such tight security.

Whether you use the mobile or desktop version of this app, its server has no way of reading your email, as the message content is encrypted from the moment you send it, until your recipient has What is sent does not get hit yet. Creating a free ProtonMail account takes just a few minutes and comes with all the security features included in a payment plan, so you can experiment with it for a day or two.

Outlook Mail

Anyone who postponed Outlook's Android app on the grounds that it is as crowded and complex as its desktop counterpart would be happy to know that it isn't. The mobile version is one of the lightest customers we've encountered: basic message creation, inbox organization, and search options. But if a large part of your email affects your calendar, Microsoft's calendar integration features are a dream come true.

One of our favorites was the availability shortcut available within the new message window. Tapping it opens your calendar and prompts you to choose a date and time to share it with your email recipient. Unfortunately, your availability message is not interactive for recipients, but when they reply with their preferred time, you can click on Convert to Event to create a calendar invitation. Exchanged invitations between Outlook and Google Calendar users on Android devices are compatible with the app's one-click RSVP features.

The app also has integration to coordinate events from Evernote, Facebook, Wonderlist, Meetup and Bing's interesting calendar, which includes sports programs, TV programs and holidays.

Many other email clients we've tested allow you to view a synced calendar, but none can match Outlook to your inbox when editing or updating your calendar.

Edison Mail

Edison Mail has everything you need to reduce the stress of sending and receiving emails through the small screen. The onboarding of the app is quick, the inbox touch gestures are customizable and managing folders is a breeze. However, the best reason for choosing this app is its specialty. They do not have a unified purpose, but each is useful in itself.

Edison Mail most notable feature is the automated bundle of messages related to travel, packages, bills and receipts, and entertainment. This improves these messages, so they only show relevant information, which eliminates most of the pinch and zooming of automated messages on mobile devices. This app almost defeats Gmail for automatic labeling, but our Edison inbox is very bloated due to lack of social and promotion.

This app makes up for its missing intelligent label with a priceless feature that consolidates all your newspapers into one subscription each with an X and a star with a scroll. Tap X and you are unsubscribing; Tap the star and that sender in your favorite menu.

There is also security listed under ancillary facilities, which claim to monitor "Internet databases commonly used to sell and trade private information". Like the rest of this app, this service is 100% free. Finally, Edison Mail comes with a read receipt blocker if you do not want senders to know when you have opened your message.

Overall, it is a light and fast app that is easy to use. If bulk unsubscribing, dark web monitoring, or a read receipt blocker are things you will use regularly, then this Android email client is a great option.
