Pros + Cons

Loss of G mail should be a pro

Comment

Pro
Supports multiple e-mail accounts

Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook, Alto, iCloud, Office 365, IMAP, POP, etc.

Comment

Pro
Clustering of e-mails by sender

[add description]

Comment

Pro
Outperforms both stock Android email and Gmail clients if you have multiple accounts

Fast, slick and pretty on Android and Windows platforms.

Comment

Con
A GMail account can't be added to anything other than stock ROMs

A GMail account can't be added to anything other than stock ROMs...Or not on CM11/12/13 etc. Doesn't work. So one gets stuck with GMAIL and BlueMail for email, so two email clients running instead of one.

Comment

Pro
Feature-rich interface with excellent use of space

BlueMail offers two UI layout schemes which both offer full access to all features while still maintaining excellent readability for e-mails

Comment

Pro
Autoconfiguration for Gmail, Outlook, Office 365 and Yahoo!/AOL/iCloud

All you need to know are your e-mail address and password for supported services and the app handles server discovery and security protocol identification.

Comment

Pro
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.

Integrated Chat service

Gmail integrates chat service named Google hangout.

Comment

Con
Very limited HTML composing

Composing of HTML formatted mails is very limited. No inline images and only some basic text formatting options.

Comment

Pro
Comes bundled with Android for free

Not only is the application free, it comes bundled with the Android OS by default so you don't even have to bother downloading it.

Comment

Con
No easy way to add aliases, an essential feature, and no reply to using aliases, only new email

There is no easy way to add aliases, an essential feature, (and a standard feature across email clients) and no way to reply to emails using aliases once you've set them up through your browser. You can only use aliases for new email. That means you need an email account for every address. Disastrous.

Comment

Pro
Tabs to automatically organize your e-mail

Gmail offers the ability to automatically organize your mail into specific categories: Primary Social Promotions Updates Priority Each of the categories can be disabled and you can move your mail around from category to category or set your own rules which sender should be put in which category.

Comment

Con
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.

Comment

Pro
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.

Comment

Pro
Smart Compose

As the title suggests, it predicts while we type the message and it is a quite useful and time-saving feature.

Comment

Pro
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 our should you change the sharing settings for that file beforehand. Finally, you can choose which one of your Google accounts you want visible in the app.

Comment

Con
Not really cross-platform

Only works as an app in Android or IOS, and as a web site in browsers.

Comment

Pro
Safely automatically displays images

The app does not require a confirmation to show images as Google now hosts the images on their own servers making it safe. You can still disable the automatic displaying of images in the settings if you wish.

It's possible to archive, delete or mark emails as read from the notification tray or with swipe gestures.

Comment

Pro
Emails can be downloaded locally on a per-folder basis

A feature called "sync" allows downloading emails locally on a per-folder basis. That will allow accessing them while offline, keep them always up to date, provide faster search, show unread email count and show push notifications as soon as new messages in those folders pop up.

Con
Inability to turn off auto-creation of labels

Version 3 does not allow it while version 2 did.

Comment

iOS app requires a subscription to enable incoming mail notifications

The iOS app now requires a subscription to enable incoming mail notifications. This makes the iOS app very unattractive and there's little point installing the Mac desktop client for users who want to sync accounts between devices.

Horrible privacy policy

Frustrating user experience

The "Clean Interface" approach means that normal and necessary user interface elements have been removed, such as certain scroll bars, and even the "replied to" indicator. This program becomes more frustrating with each new update.

Outlook Android App doesn't support category colors

[add description]

Comment

Con
Doesn't follow security guidelines

The app stores user information and credentials on outside servers which is a violation of ActiveSync password requirement policies. These security concerns have been enough of an issue that European Parliament has banned its members from using the app out of fear that it might lead to leaking sensitive information.

Comment

Con
Limited iCloud connectivity

Though the desktop version of Outlook (for both Windows and Mac), does allow connection to an iCloud email account, it will not connect to the contacts, calendar or reminders on the Mac version. And to connect to these on Windows, you have to use the iCloud app for syncing. This lack of coherence between platforms, and the fact that this has been an issue for a very long time, makes liking Outlook problematic at best for people who live between the Windows and Mac universes.

Comment

Pro
Helps prioritize email

The app will automatically attempt to figure out which emails are important to you and surface those. The priority emails will show up in your inbox in a tab called Focused, with other emails in a tab called Other. It aims to separate spam and promotional emails from the important emails.

Comment

Pro
Quick swipe features

Microsoft Outlook comes with quick swipe features where users can quickly swipe the thread either from left (to schedule) or right (to delete or archive). Additionally, users can also customize the swipe actions to, for example, set swipe from left to archive or swipe from right to delete.

Comment

Comment

Pro
Integrates with cloud storage services

Microsoft Outlook comes with built-in cloud storage browser allowing you to attach files directly from services such as Dropbox, Box, Google Drive or OneDrive to emails and directly open attached files without the need for the main cloud storage app.

Comment

Pro
Supports multiple e-mail services

Microsoft Outlook not only can support Outlook under Exchange / Office 365 or Outlook.com, but it can also supports other mail services such as GMail, Yahoo, iCloud, IMAP, POP etc.

Comment

Pro
Good built-in contacts

In addition to showing contact information, the People section of Outlook can show all conversations you've had with a person. Moreover, if you're looking for someone that's not in your contact's list, but is in your company's or school's directory, Outlook can pull that information through integration with Global Address List (GAL).

Surfaces important information from messages

If an email contains pictures, flight information, reservation at a restaurant, attachments, links, dates, phone numbers and other information that the application recognizes, it will surface that information in its main view. These items can be viewed and interacted with without having to open the message itself. It allows finding and taking action on the important email information quickly.

Missing some advanced Gmail settings

Occasionally you have to use the provided link back to the legacy Gmail app for specific functions, due to the simplifications that Inbox makes.

Comment

Con
Cannot add multiple labels to an email

Gmail uses labels to categorize emails. Using multiple labels can make it easier to find the email later on. Ex: "work", "friends", "london". Index only allows adding one label per email, effectively turning them into directories. All the benefits of labels are lost, then.

Works towards an empty inbox

Inbox is designed to reach an empty inbox by either archiving or snoozing your mails.

Comment

Pro
Intelligent categorization

Inbox tries automatically bundling similar messages together. For example, Inbox will create bundles for travel information, receipts, promotions as well as group messages temporally. It enables also managing these bundles of messages together - they can all be swiped away together.

Comment

Great features for processing mail quickly

Mailbox brings simple to use, swipe gesture-based ways of dealing with your incoming messages: A short swipe to the right archives a message A long swipe to the right deletes a message A short swipe to the left snoozes a message (puts it off until later) A long swipe to the left adds a message to a list (folder)

Comment

Pro
Allows putting off messages until later

Swiping an e-mail message from the inbox to the left gives an option to 'snooze' it for a set period of time. You can manually enter the date for when to return it to the inbox or choose from options like 'later today', 'this weekend', and 'someday'.

Comment

Free

Mailbox is available for free, although a premium version with added features might be in the works.

Comment

Pro
Good looking design

Mailbox has a minimalist design. It divides your incoming messages in three categories - your inbox, things you've postponed and things you've gotten rid of.

Comment

Con
Privacy concerns

There's concern of privacy, because Mailbox has access to your emails, since they're passing through their servers. After being acquired by Dropbox these concerns have been somewhat alleviated, because of Dropbox's stable track record, but not completely.
