Checking the mail is one of the most basic and daily tasks on any of our mobile devices and although for many it is enough with the mail app pre-installed on duty or the one specific to your reference account, there are a few in the App Store and in Google Play which may be worth giving a chance to enjoy some advanced features.
inbox
Let's start with the most basic recommendation of all for those who use accounts of gmail, but that it is possible that some still do not know. If so, this is one of those apps that we must insist that it is worth trying, because it is undoubtedly one of the best Google apps and as proof of this is that there are many who prefer it to the Gmail app itself. Its main virtue is the efficiency of its system for automatically organizing received mail, but not the only one, since it also has other very useful functions to set reminders, postpone mail or preview photos and other files that are attached.
Edison Mail
It is not one of the most popular but it is one of the safest recommendations, except that it is not translated into Spanish and this is something that in an app like this should not be too much of a problem for most. In this case, we will be able to use it to consult all our email accounts and its strongest point is the agility with which it will allow us to do so, since it is one of the most fluid of all. Among the extra functions that it offers us, there are some quite useful as options to help us get rid of spam and unwanted emails and, for security reasons, it is also appreciated that all information is stored locally.
VMware Boxer
Boxer is another email app that is not very well known either, but which may also be worth giving a try. It also allows us to manage several accounts in a single inbox and is specially designed so that browsing our mail is the most Fast and easy possible, with a simple and intuitive design, a great system of quick responses and a huge variety of simple gestures that we can use to perform different actions and that are also customizable, which is the most interesting (although, of course, the customization options go further and include many more of an aesthetic nature).
Thunder
Thunder It is a very specific recommendation, although not because it is designed to support only specific accounts, but because it is very oriented to the field of productivity, also functioning a bit as a social network in this area (including options to help you detect common acquaintances to expand your contacts) and with a good part of its most interesting functions dedicated to streamlining communication within specific teams. In any case, there is no shortage of an intelligent email organization system and a few customization options to adjust the user experience as much as possible to your habits.
Newton Mail
It seems inevitable to make a reference also to Newton Mail although it should be noted that it is an app with a very expensive annual subscription that for the vast majority is not going to be worth paying. If a good email app is essential for our work or, for any other reason, we have no problem making a significant investment to enjoy a quality app, in any case, we find one of the more complete with the extra of a very careful design. You can do a free trial for a couple of weeks, yes, to decide if it is worth it or not.
Spark
Normally we include a single extra in our top 5, but in this case we are going to make an exception and we are going to leave you a couple more to refer to some specific email apps of each platform that are worth mentioning, and in the case iOS cannot be other than one of the great favorites of the App Store, Spark. Unlike other exclusives for iPad, this one is free, and if we add that it comes with the seal of Readdle Surely few of you are left with doubts about whether to give it a try or not. Very easy to configure, an efficient intelligent organization system and an elegant design are its great virtues.
Mail Wise
Mail Wise is a somewhat better-known Android app that stands out above all for its design, which dispenses with many of the conventional elements of this type of apps, organizing our emails automatically in the most common way conversations and eliminating in his presentation all that may be secondary and serve more of a distraction than anything else (headings, signatures, etc.). It also uses the grouping by contacts, being able to include notifications from social networks. You have to have a bit of patience, yes, so that the artificial intelligence that serves as its engine begins to work as efficiently as possible. It is also another app that gives us extra security by storing all the information locally.
K-9 mail
We end with a final recommendation directed specifically to Android users, and especially to those who are always looking for apps in a preferential way. open source. It is a very solid option, in addition, that has been on Google Play for many years, throughout which it has garnered a very loyal community of users, although it is true, on the less positive side, that all that time that it has been with us is notice something in the design. Reducing that a bit, it has endless configuration options, but not a lot of more aesthetic customization.
