Top 5 email apps for your iPhone or iPad

Email has become an integral part of our modern lives and it's hard to imagine our day-to-day existence without checking it several times a day. Certainly, there are numerous apps for iOS that allow you to check and organize your incoming mail; while some are great, others are not so good.

Of course, the built-in iOS email app is perfectly sufficient for most users' needs. Yet, if you're looking for something more feature-rich or just different in execution, check out these:

Gmail

Apple's great adversary has one of the most widely-used and popular email services. The official Gmail app is also among the more popular iOS ones. It's bringing the Google experience on Apple's platform, bringing the Material Design language to iOS, as well as the basic Gmail experience.

Inbox by Gmail

Google's newer and better-looking email client has most of the feature of the official Gmail app, and then adds some. Why have two apps that do one and the same thing though? Inbox comes with notable new features, like highlights, bundles, reminders, snooze and a Gmail-like search functionality. 

Mailbox

Dropobox's email client is a perfectly viable alternative to both Gmail and the native iOS email app, sporting a handful of basic email features: archive, delete, and snooze emails with merely a single gesture. One of its highlights is the built-in Dropbox support, which allows incoming attached files to directly land in your cloud-bases storage.
