Hi
My 2 newest android phones both use a standard Gmail-ap that is
unreliable getting mail from one of my accounts. Less than half of the
mails are coming in. So I would like to get recomandations for a simple
ap without ads, that can handle 3-4 accounts. It does not have to be
free, but free from ads and malware.

FairEmail is pretty good.

but you should first double check
that everything it's ok with your google account.
If you can't get mail on the standard app, maybe there is
something to fix at your gmail account.

I don't use it with gmail, but i have used it that way for trsting, I do
use it with my ISP's POP server and MS's exchange365 server as IMAP.

... Gmail app, the app UNILATERALLY (without
asking you!) *creates* a Google Account on your Android phone.
Worse, it uploads your contacts, again, WITHOUT ASKING YOU first.
You can turn that off subsequently, but they ALREADY HAVE THEM by then.
I use FairEmail, as I gave up on K9 before Mozilla took them over.

Thank you very much to you all that replied here. You are great!Now i have K-9 installed and have two accounts, one of which is the troublesome one, installed, tested and working fine.
I will try K-9 first. There is a remark in one of the replies that it is simple. Suits me fine. But it's 4 o'clock in the morning here in Norway,
so testing K-9 must wait.

Thank you for writing it so loud and clear. Google (& others)
actually manages my own contacts as their loot.
This help hiding contacts from other apps (more or less):

I use FairEmail, as I gave up on K9 before Mozilla took them over.Why?
I wished Mozilla could add a Usenet newsreader on k-9.
I like Thunderbird for this.
*FairEmail*It is far more configurable than any other mail client and this is
great but not easier than k-9 for lot of people.

I can't find that BlueMail for Android runs a service or as a sticky app

While I typically leave my phone powered up 24x7 (and often on the
charger), the phone has occasionally powered off, because the battery
got too low, or I needed to restart the phone to diagnose an issue.
When Android boots, is BlueMail going to load automatically?

K-9 does now support OAuth2 even in the regular version. This is one of
the outcomes of the cooperation with Mozilla to provide K-9 also branded
as "Thunderbird for Android".

I don't know. As I wrote, for me e-mail on my phone is only for
occasional use, checking for e-mail. I don't need/want instant
notification.
I need email if I want to go to the cinema.
If I buy the ticket online, on the computer, they send it to my email.
The easiest way to collect the ticket on my phone is to have email setup
in there. Alternative is to plug the usb cable and transfer the PDF,
when there is one.
I need email to collect goods from an Amazon locker or point.
They send an email with a barcode that opens the locker. Sure, I can
print the email at home and use that instead of the phone, but using the phone is cheaper and just more convenient.
It is not about instant notification. As a matter of fact, I disabled automatic polling in K-9 to conserve battery.

I agree that energy consumption of e-mail polling is underestimated and
in particular of the push-function.
My mail on my phones has a polling frequency of 60 minutes and push
turned off deliberately.

I've used Blue Mail for years on Motorola and Pixel phones. I chose it rather than K-9 because at the time I did not want 'push' mail and apparently that was K-9's only option.
My computer is my main email source; I only want it on my phone when I
am (rarely) away from home for any length of time.

On the other hand, the gmail app with default settings and a single
gmail account doesn't seem to impact battery usage. I noticed the
problem with K-9, with a non google imap account and default settings.

That must have been a long time ago. My K-9 Mail is at least two and a half years old - version 6.000 - and I've set the 'Fetching mail' poll frequency to Never, for both POP3 and IMAP. Other poll frequencies are
from Every 15 minutes to Every 24 hours. Never and Every 24 hours aren't really 'pushy' are they!> :-)

This is not correct AFAIR. I never used Push on mobiles.

I only want to get it when I click 'refresh'. The gmail app didn't like working that way, and neither did K-9 at least 9 years ago. I've had
the Pixel for 3 years and I'm guessing I had the 2 Motorolas and 1 BLU
for 2 years each.
