With innovative email clients pouring in for iOS and Android, it has become feasible for these business professionals to gain an easy access to their important e-mails while on a move. Although numerous companies are currently engaged in fixing issues prevalent in the standard Google Email and Apple Mail clients; it has been found that the same still have some major loopholes. Through this blog, I’m making an effort to familiarize you with some well-recognized loopholes that have made these email clients less capable and hard-to-choose.

Mobile mail folks seek to distinguish personal mails from professional ones
A majority of mobile mail users are always inclined on using an email client that can render them an absolute flexibility of separating the work mails from the personal ones. The email clients available for iOS and Android aren’t competent in offering such flexibility and hence seem to disappoint the end users.
E-mail clients for iOS and Android don’t support all email formats
Free email client apps make you prone to attack by fraudulent
With everything being optimized for mobile phones, sharing your personal and confidential information via emails may make you vulnerable to security infringement. Well, a lot of individuals who opt for free email client apps tend to compromise the security of their personal and/or business emails. All information shared via such apps are open to advertisers who might use it in any way they want, making your details available for the general public. Therefore, I recommend opting for paid version of email client apps that can run on iOS and Android powered devices.
iOS/Android email apps can’t be integrated with standard business tools
This point is mainly related to business professionals who are into the habit of accessing all their emails via mobile devices. Most of the iOS/Android email apps can’t be integrated with the standard business tools such as Exchange, Sunbird, Google Docs and many more. For example, the very popular email client called Boxer makes it quite inconvenient to navigate mail folders. Plus, its in-built gestures also fail to cover a wide spectrum of users’ needs. One of the most irritating features of Boxer is its dumbness related to ‘liking’ a specific email.

The idea of ‘Zero Inbox’ doesn’t appear tempting to the mobile email enthusiasts
If you are fed up of basic email management controls, then the free Mailbox app would seem to irritate you more. This email client app follows the approach ‘Simpler is better’, offering you plain list of emails in addition to very basic controls for marking them as ‘read’, ‘unread’, ‘reply’ etc. To sum it all up, you have a ‘zero inbox’ with no unread messages. As an owner of an established business enterprise, this idea of ‘zero inbox’ would definitely not suit you in the long run. The reason being that it is just your inbox which allows you to monitor new mails and place specific ones in the archives folder. To put it simply, the inbox is actually your email’s USP and getting rid of it won’t benefit you in any way.
Most of iOS/Android email clients fail in collection of email conversation threads
As an enterprise owner, it is quite crucial for you to stay updated about different conversations that have taken place for a particular email. While some email clients are capable of collecting email conversations, they aren’t able to do it in a commendable format. Therefore, a failure to store email threads leads to mismanagement of business tasks, thereby causing you heavy financial losses.
Wrapping it all up
Although companies are making regular efforts to fill in all the above mentioned loopholes, it is probably take a lot of time to deliver email client apps that will be competent in meeting varied mailing requirements of the end users.
