I am a newer member to the forum, but my husband is a long time member and he said that you where the people to ask for sound advice.

My husband and I are Boost mobile customers. My cell phone (LG G3) died a couple weeks ago unexpectedly. I managed 6 different mails from the phone. I had my gmail (through the gmail app), 2 yahoo mails (through the yahoo app), and 3 additional emails that I use to manage an all women shooting event that I coordinate for our rifle and pistol club using the email client that came on the phone.

My new cell phone (LG Stylo 3) did not come with an email client, only Gmail. I added the yahoo app, no problem. But there are so many different email clients out there I don't know where to turn. I have heard Outlook is not very user friendly on Android devices. I need to be able to keep the 3 emails separate, have automatic bcc on all emails I send, and custom signatures for each email. I am lost now, and forced to use godaddy online to manage my event.

Any advice on what app to look at would be greatly appreciate.

I also found the text messaging app that came with the new phone very limited. You cannot add a signature, and you cannot send attachments unless you exit the app, go to the attachment location and share. If you have a text messenger you love that would be great too.

And yes.... I have buyers remorse. But when your phone screen dies with no warning sometime you have to take what is available.

I use K9 for personal

Touchdown for work / outlook compatability

Try Bluemail for email.

Google messenger app for texting.

Welcome to the forum.

You can actually use the Gmail app to manage other email accounts at the same time. Also the Outlook app from Microsoft can manage multiple email accounts. Those would be the only two I have used besides the generic email client that has always been provided an my phones.

If you don't want to use a web email client like Gmail then try Bluemail. I use it for my work email and it is good.

This.

I use the Gmail app for a couple Gmail accounts, a Microsoft Exchange account, and a Hotmail account. No problems with any of them.

Exchange works very well

The is a free Android version of Outlook, if you want compatibility with MS programs.

I use it for my fed.gov clients as it makes getting email to them a tad bit faster.

Personally, if it were me, I'd manage all of those email accounts through your Gmail as it does a great job handling multiple addresses. Here's how to get started.... How to Import & Manage Multiple Email Accounts in Gmail

I'm a retired I.T. guy who's administered, amongst other things, mail servers. So if it means anything coming from somebody who used to live, eat, sleep, breath and dream email , K9 Mail was my choice. I used it for all of my email accounts (averaged about five at any point in time), including my rarely-used Gmail account.

I tried pretty much all the others and they all came up lacking. Blue Mail would've been my 2nd choice.

N.B.: I no longer use Android devices.

I have the same phone and I like its size. I've had Outlook for years. The Gmail works cleanest for me, no ads. Only thing I've had a issue with is the size of attachments is limited. I send some photos and generally am restricted to 3 in one email. I have no service now so its wifi for me.

That's generally a mail server limit, not an email client one, and will depend on the size of the photos.

And it becomes a total non-issue when people wise up and start sending links to pics as opposed to the pics themselves. I get onto my wife constantly for pulling that nonsense and then bitching about bounced emails.
