What Makes a Great Android Email App?Ī mobile email client needs to nail the basics: connecting to third-party domains, sending and receiving messages, searching your inbox, managing contacts, and keeping everything organized.
Trust us, we checked.Īfter putting 50 of the most promising Android email apps through the wringer, we've narrowed the list down to the best eight. You could throw in the towel and use the app that came preinstalled on your phone, but stock Android apps will never live up to the competition. This means that Inbox by Gmail is finally receding behind the mountains, and this time there might be no workaround for it to rise back up from the shadows.If you fall into that category and use an Android phone, there are hundreds of email clients to choose from in the Google Play store.
We can now confirm that the iOS app has stopped working as well, days after the shutdown. This means that all those few users who still have a working Inbox are also on limited time.Īfter Google officially announced that Inbox by Gmail was shutting down on April 2, older Android versions of the app, as well as the iOS app, remained unaffected. A Reddit thread vouches for that, as some users claim that they still have a working Inbox email app, but these users claim that they no longer are receiving notifications for new emails and refresh also has to be done manually. Those who are on older versions of Inbox, and who have auto-updates switched off, may still have a functioning Inbox app. Inbox by Gmail v1.77 that was installed on user devices was automatically moved to v1.78, with the Gmail transition message now appearing. The report states that Inbox by Gmail APK v1.77 was updated and that they could not get an older APK to function. We also tried installing older version APKs of Inbox by Gmail, and all of them throw an error message when the sign-in process is initiated. This means that all the older versions will also lose support soon, and users who cannot give up on Inbox by Gmail, now have no choice but to do so.Īndroid Police was the first to notice this change in behaviour of old APKs. It shows them an error signal every time they tried to sign-in using their Gmail accounts. However, now users are reporting that fresh installs of these older APKs no longer work. Those who couldn't give up on the app downloaded older APK versions of Inbox by Gmail, and surprisingly those continued to work fine. Google brought the shutters down on Inbox by Gmail earlier this month, but workarounds allowed fans to continue using the app.
