Coming from K9, tried alternatives like Nine and lot of others. This one is the best for my usage. Identities, multi account support with notifications channels. Clean, functional and actual look. Active development. An app full of life, and respect for the user.

Future of this nice free software unclear
It is said that ThunderBird and K9Mail may merge, to put together their strength and means. I really hope K9Mail will continue. It is a key tool in the landscape of email tools, and all these none real privacy of your emails tools (and email boxes services).

Best support for Gmail features
Since both the Gmail Android app and Gmail itself is made by Google, the app supports all features Gmail offers (like labeling/starring) and gets new features implemented early - usually as soon as they are announced.

Sorting mail by Unread is unintuitive
Nearly every other mail app has a clear way to sort mail by Unread. In Gmail app you can do that only by typing “label:unread” in the search field.

Incredibly fast, advanced & predictive search
Gmail brings much of the functionality and power of Google's search engine to the app's search. You can use operators such as label:, is:, OR, has: among others, define date ranges, limit search to specific groups and so on. And, you can do it all amazingly fast. The search will also try to predict what you're trying to search for before you've even finished your query and offer up those results.

Google Drive integration
The app allows inserting files from Drive straight to email or uploading attachments to Drive before sending them out. It will also notify if the person you're sending the file can open the file or if you should change the sharing settings for that file beforehand. Finally, you can choose which one of your Google accounts you want visible in the app.
