Fastmail has worked well for me with custom domains. It's nice being able to create custom aliases for when an address is publicly visible e.g. GitHub so I know through what funnel emails are coming from. Like others have said, the Android app is not worth installing unless you're okay with limited and, in some cases, poor functionality. I suppose you can set it up with the Gmail or Outlook Android apps? I've never tried, as this defeats the purpose of not having those companies as your email provider :) Still searching for a good Android mail app...

You can funnel mail with Gmail, too using extensions. Although some online forms incorrectly reject this. Looks like this: notmyaddress+github@gmail.com

  Those can be stripped out, and the email sold or whatever.

> Still searching for a good Android mail app... K-9 Mail has served me very well over the years! https://k9mail.github.io/about.html https://k9mail.github.io/about.html Edit: Highlights for me: - IMAP Idle support: e-mails appear instantly, configurable on a by-folder basis. - Mature and stable: it's been around forever, updates are infrequent, it just works. - Free software: apache license - No fanciness: it is very traditional-email oriented. The only "fancy" feature is a unified inbox (showing mails from all your folders), and it can be turned off. If your e-mail is "complicated" you'll have to spend a bit of time setting everything up. For instance, my server classifies e-mail as it arrives, and I setup different synchronization schedules and notification preferences for different folders. Best time investment of my life.

  I use K-9 Mail too, and while I think it's great (fast and customizable) I think it could use some gestures or more in general a UI revamp to reflect the fact we are not using Ice Cream Sandwich anymore :)

    Actually K-9 already has a nice UI in "master" branch but for some unknown reasons it's not released yet :(

      Thanks for the heads up, apparently they are (were) working on it: https://github.com/k9mail/k-9-design https://github.com/k9mail/k-9-design

BlueMail is a pretty decent Android email client. :)

> Still searching for a good Android mail app... Give AquaMail a try. I find it efficient, fast and featureful. I've never noticed any bugs. The user interface is perhaps not fancy, but IMO not ugly either, and certainly functional. I've been using it for years, and they keep updating it diligently.

  I use AquaMail as well, it's one of the few apps I pay for. I paid so I could attach more inboxes though the limit is quite relaxed. The only fancy feature they've added really is a unified mailbox, other than that it's the only android mail client I've used for the past 4-5 years now. I'm a big fan!

  Co signed on Aquamail - the original author was very receptive to feature requests and fixing bugs (It was nice when he eventually added scheduled outgoing emails). The software has since been acquired but developement appears to be continuing. Other clients that caught my eye also were Bluemail or Nine, depending on the need.

  I've been using Aquamail on my tablet for years, it's a nice mail app and they continue to support is. I use it on my tablet for the swipe feature especially. On my smartphone I'm using MailDroid Pro. Like Aquamail, I'm using it for several years now, steady updates and good support. The reason I use MailDroid on my smartphone is the anti-spam plug-in (they charge extra for that though).

What do you miss in the Android app? I thought the same for a while, until I noticed tapping the body of an email changed the top bar options...
