Images are on by default too, unlike K-9. Like k-9 it doesn’t support either fluid or responsive design, but web fonts and CSS3 tricks work fine. The “lite” version is limited to two accounts and automatically inserts a self-promoting signature, but a “pro” upgrade can be purchased to remove these limitations.īird Mail is based on the open source K-9 email client (see below). It works with POP, IMAP and Exchange accounts via EWS (Exchange Web Services). The email client itself is fairly basic and lacks a lot of the better features and doesn’t support either coding approach, web fonts or CSS3 tricks.Īqua Mail is a very good email client for Android, supporting all the technologies tested here perfectly. Like the iOS version, the AOL app is not limited to just email, but a whole host of AOL features and content including news, weather and videos. Note: All of these tests were done on a Nerunning Android 4.4.4 (KitKat). If I’ve missed out your favourite email client let me know in the comments section below. I will endeavour to update this blog as new versions of these clients are released. Hopefully as clients continue to mature they may start to support more modern design techniques, allowing us to give subscribers better and more consistent user experiences. The surprising exception to this rule was the official client which did surprisingly well in all the tests. Yahoo and AOL are also widely installed and also have limited support. Gmail is by far the most installed, which is a shame because likes it’s iOS counterpart, it doesn’t support any of the technology tested here – although images are displayed by default. The Play Store gives you vague ideas of the number of devices a particular app has been installed on, detailed in the “Installed” column above. However, if stacking a two column design didn’t work it was recorded as a fail. Fluid design fared a bit better and, although the table above suggests otherwise, is at least partially supported by more clients then the fixed break points of responsive design. Once again a surprising number of clients supported non-standard fonts and CSS tricks, but support for responsive design was limited.
