1. Gmail

This app needs no introduction, but if you don't know it, download it from the Play Store as soon as possible. Developed and released by Google themselves, Gmail is a feature-packed application tailored specifically for users of Google's e-mail service. It offers deep integration with Android itself, support for multiple accounts, and ability to manage labels for messages. Unfortunately, just like Gmail for web, the app puts ads in your inbox from time to time, but makes up for it with a pretty interface and overall fluid experience.

2. Inbox by Gmail

Promised to replace Gmail in the future, Inbox presents an innovative approach to the idea of e-mail messaging. The Android app comes packed with with some Material Design goodness that makes the UI pop and allows you to manage received e-mails like tasks. You can snooze messages that are not important at the moment and add reminders to those that you want to take care of later.

Inbox is constantly evolving and receiving new features every few weeks. It probably won't satisfy power and business users, but if you're looking for a fresh take on casual e-mail, give it a try.

The previous version of Microsoft Outlook for Android was a disappointment. Subpar features and dated interface made it unusable for me and thousands of users around the world. Looking to correct that mistake, Microsoft released Outlook Preview - a brand new Outlook application designed to wipe the initial bad impression.

Outlook Preview looks and acts like an Android app. It no longer is a poor copy of a Windows Phone application, which means that it takes advantage of Android's beautiful new design language. Apart from a good-looking interface, the app offers cloud attachment support, built-in calendar integration, and support for both Outlook and Exchange accounts as well as mail, Yahoo Mail, and iCloud.

4. Nine

If you do not fancy MailWise or Outlook Preview, take a look at Nine. It's a fully-featured e-mail application designed with Exchange users in mind. It offers an advanced functionality that lets you take full control of your mailbox.

Features include real-time push notifications, multiple account support, calendar and contacts sync, advanced search engine, and native rich-text editor (on devices running Android 4.4 KitKat or newer). Nine can also manage your tasks and backup text messages, which comes in handy if you often switch between different devices.

5. CloudMagic

My personal favourite, CloudMagic, brings a bunch of visual improvements over the default e-mail app. It sports a good-looking UI designed for both smartphones and tablets, and offers basic integration with popular third-party services such as Pocket, Zendesk, Mailchimp, and Evernote. Directly from within the app, you can save a link to Pocket or create a new note in your Evernote notebook. It is a very convenient feature that allows you to complete all your work without switching apps and accounts.

6. myMail
