E-mail app for mobiles.

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for an email app for BlackBerry 10? (Android apps also work). The built in app is even worse than that built in to the earlier BlackBerrys, and sadly logicmail is not available for the new OS. Obviously I’m thinking of something that handles signatures, quoting, etc, in a similar manner to RISC OS mail clients, not the outlook style garbage that most mobile clients do. (reduces the functionality of email to being on a par with whatsapp, but fiddlier) ta |

I use a BlackBerry Q10, and it supports signatures, but not sure about the sort of quoting you want. I think with the way the ‘Hub’ is a integral part of the whole UI, a third party client is probably going to end up less than satisfactory. |

The built in client is a joke. If it comes down to a choice between rubbish editor with hub and decent editor without, the latter wins. It doesn’t support plain text very well, they have dropped the remove quoted text option, which made the previous client usable. It is not really usable for meaningful communication. On BB6 there was a client called logicmail, which worked almost as well as messenger pro, but only on wifi. The features I need are plain text (display incoming messages as plain text, too). I just found one that looks suitable K9 Mail |

No, a crap email client that makes you hate writing emails is the stock Android client. Couple that with an input system that becomes more and more useless as you write more text (really, how hard is redraw?), it’s enough to make you run to Twitter… Can’t go wrong with 140 characters, right? Perhaps the only thing worse than the default Android client is the Android GMail program…I think it is supposed to be that way… By comparison, the iOS client is a marvel. Proper inline quotes and all. The only failing is that it is extremely restricted in what you can attach (but, then, it isn’t as if iOS exactly has a filesystem…). |
