Aqua Mail Gets My Perfect Email Vote

by

Aqua Mail

Aqua Mail has completely ruined the old epithet that it is better to travel than arrive.  Over the years I have liked nothing better to try out a wide range of Android email apps and finding their strengths and weaknesses before moving onto the next one. Aqua Mail has screwed that by being the best email app I have come across and will probably always be my email app of choice. The reasons are many and varied.
