Manage email efficiently is, for most mortals, a tedious task, except you’re one of those carefree whose counter exceeds unread emails centenary. Delete, reply, file … are common tasks, increasingly performed in mobility (either a smartphone or a tablet).

The e-mail is, increasingly, something we manage mobility In this situation, choose the ideal to handle e-mail application is vital . Have a nice interface, that has push (essential for many) and are appropriately integrated with the various email services today, are just some of the basic requirements. But there is much more to explore.

To facilitate the choice of a correct email client, in Hipertextual we decided to make a compilation of the best email clients for iOS and Android, passing from popular to some newer and more “pros”

The best email clients for iOS

  • Spark. The most recent of all, but not the worst. It is developed by Readdle, a company that has proven itself with numerous applications for iOS (like Documents 5). It has numerous filters, organizes emails according to various parameters and, if you possess one offers support for Apple Watch.

  • Outlook. Microsoft bought accompli and, since then, Outlook for iOS and Android became one of the best email clients that can be found. Provides access to files in the cloud, calendars, e-mail (either Outlook, Gmail or any other provider) and contacts. It also incorporates numerous gestures and organize our mail filters based on priority. The only drawback is that it has no extension to share from other applications (at least not at the time I write this).

  • CloudMagic. My favorite. CloudMagic has a simple and clean interface, can export data to other applications such as Evernote, notifications push , multiaccounting, unified tray, protection Touch ID and extensions to share any application.

  • Inbox. Gmail for IOS has always been mediocre. A app website that was slow to use and very dependent on the internet we had at all times. That is not the case of Inbox, Google’s next step as far as email is concerned. Inbox makes the management of our mail is much more intelligent and contextual: organized by priorities and categories automatically assigned, interprets the information and act accordingly emails, etc. Always a treat you achieve adapt to this form of mail management.

  • Mailbox. Mailbox came, like many other applications email to IOS, with the goal of becoming final. For several months, it was. And its philosophy of turning our email into a task list (can postpone, complete, file, etc.) it was really productive for many users. A must.

  • myMail. One of the great unknown. For a time it was my default e-mail client. It has a simple interface, support for all major email providers, support for notifications push and some extra features like “temporary muted” avoiding interruptions emails from a specific time .

The best email client for Android

  • Gmail. Unlike iOS, Gmail itself should be among the best email client for Android. It is preinstalled on all Android smartphones and especially if you use Gmail as a supplier, is a marvel. It’s fast, the interface is simple and attractive and, best of all, it integrates seamlessly with Gmail.

  • CloudMagic. CloudMagic also has a version for Android, as good as iOS, so you could not miss this selection of the best email client for Android. A serious option to consider for versatility and performance.

  • Inbox. Android is managed by Google, like Gmail and Inbox , so it was obvious that a version of this email client would also be available for the Google platform. It works even better than the iOS version, for interacting in a more “intimate” with other services like Google Calendar (with whom he has a close relationship).

  • Outlook. Another one that is also for Android. And, unlike iOS, in this case it allows sharing from any application, which is a big plus when our workflows more complicated than usual. Otherwise, it works just as well as in IOS.

  • Mailbox. After his success in IOS, also he delved Mailbox Android, which has garnered a great number of followers with its philosophy of turning email into a to-do list.

  • Boxer. Probably the least known option for all email clients for Android that we have quoted. It has everything we need, from support for push notifications to different email providers. Personally, if there Gmail for Android would probably be one of my top choices.
