I've always used the stock gmail app and liked it ok until the new design and the loud red color. Still worked ok though... . But today while browsing twitter I saw a sponsored post for blue mail and thought I'd see what was all about... I downloaded it after reading about it and really like it.

It has a lot of the features I've wished on the stock Gmail app... As of now, I'm a convert.

Anyone else use?

I use it, mainly for what I call my Junk email clients. Not complaints about the app. Very good.

Blue Mail is superb and I'd happily recommend it. IMO, it's precisely what the stock app should be. If anyone has questions about the app their support team is without peer with very fast, detailed response.

Thanks. I like it even more after using it a day.

I'm trying put Blue Mail and have to say that so far I'm underwhelmed. I use Eudora with POP as my desktop client and Comcast as the server. I want an app for my Android phone & tablet.

I set up Blue Mail using IMAP and found the Done option to hide mails I was not interested on the phone while not deleting them from the Server. But Blue Mail doesn't seem to be current. It is showing the most recent mail as 4 days old. I went to the Comcast web interface to see the status and saw messages that were 2 minutes old. If I'm doing something wrong with Blue Mail, then its UI or sparse documentation is at fault.

I has been using K-9 for a few weeks, but it started falling behind. Maybe its a problem with Comcast, but I'm not having any problem with Eudora. Maybe I should use the Android app also with POP. Suggestions welcome.
 
I'm considering Blue Mail as I like the interface. G-Mail and inbox are terrible and force conversation view on you which you cant turn off.

I use Gmail for all my mail. Obviously I have a Gmail account. I never actually use the actual Gmail account. I there for access into googles infrstructure.
I have a personal domain that is tied to this account. I have the Gmail web interface set to send as this account and it goes thru a specific SMTP server which is 3rd party to Gmail. This way all mail sent from my domain account is sent thru this SMTP server... Not Google's.

The Gmail and inbox app seems to use the same web settings when I send from my phone. It processes them ail they way I want.

My question is...

Does blue mail do the same? Or does blue mail send mail thru the the standard Gmail SMTP servers? Because if it does, the message headers will show Gmail's servers instead of the SMTP servers it's supposed to use and the gmail account not the domain acoccount I want.
I pay for this authenticated SMTP server and it takes Google out of the mix for message flow. It also adds a layer of tracking as the headers show the proper routeing and validate that it came from my domain and not Google's.

Thanks
