Mail App for iPhone
The Mail App for iPhone is the default option for iOS devices. However, the Mail app is fairly limited in features and serves as a basic solution for users who need a mail app. With the Mail App for iPhone, you’ll have access to a simple inbox; where you can add whatever email provider you already use.
Gmail App for iPhone
Gmail on iPhone is a trusted choice for many users. The Gmail application was designed to create a user-friendly experience that allows you to quickly manage your emails.
Here’s what the Gmail app for iPhone has to offer:
- Security filters
- Undo send
- Video calling
- Group emails
There are drawbacks to using the Gmail app for iPhone – such as limits to the amount of accounts you can add (only 4), and the fact that storage is limited to 15 GB of Cloud storage across Gmail applications. So if you’re not getting emails on iPhone, there’s a possibility your storage is full.
Outlook for iPhone

15 GB of storage are offered within the Outlook app for the iPhone. Drawbacks to the Outlook app for iPhone include the loading time and the lack of in-depth customization options.
Boxer for iPhone
Boxer for iPhone devices is another alternative for the standard Mail App for iOS. The Boxer app for iPhone provides:

- Customization options
The drawback to Boxer is the synchronization issues that have been reported by users. Boxer uses 400 MB of storage on your iOS device – leading to lagging and storage concerns.
Bluemail for iPhone
Bluemail for Android was designed based on the needs of tablet devices. However, all of Bluemail’s features are available for Android devices:
- Generated text

- Email synchronization
Bluemail is compatible with all major email providers, but synchronization issues have been reported. This can be frustrating for users trying to stay updated – especially if you’re anticipating an important message.

- Prioritized inbox
- Multiple accounts to your inbox
Spark also offers a paid subscription for users who want to send large attachments and get full use out of the AI options.
CanaryMail for iPhone
CanaryMail is another mail app for iPhone that uses AI technology to speed up the writing process.
In addition to the AI, CanaryMail offers:
- Encryption

Newton Mail for iPhone
Newton Mail is advertised as being an application built for modern times. Newton for iPhone offers:

The biggest drawback to Newton Mail for iPhone is that it’s not free – It requires a monthly subscription to access features already offered for free in a variety of other applications. Frequent crashes have also been reported.
