Top 7 Best Android Email Apps

The email has changed the way we communicate with our friends, employees, co-workers, relatives, etc. The first thing that 90 to 95 percent of internet users do after waking up in the morning or entering their office is they check emails.

Social networking apps and websites have over 1 billion users combined. They allow you to share videos or pictures with other users within 50 to 10 seconds. Although social networks are doing pretty well, they cannot replace email clients and services. Email is one of the most important internet services. Millions of sites depend on it. Example: Many websites running on the internet ask users to verify their email accounts. If you don’t use an email service, the site will not permit your account.

When Nokia was a popular company, people had to rely on websites and browsers to check their inbox or send a new message to other users. Now, things have changed. Android OS has made our lives easier. The operating system’s brilliant architecture makes us less dependent on web browsers. We can use our favorite services without a browser by downloading an app. The same thing applies to emails.

Several companies have launched email client apps for Android phones and tablets. Hence, we don’t have to use the browser to open Gmail, Outlook, or any other site.

Although you’ll find 100s of email applications on the Play Store, only the below apps among the lot provides a great experience to the users.
