Which Android email client do people use?

My new Android mobile ‘phone (Moto G5s) will be delivered tomorrow and am wondering which email client to use for POP3 email.

When I bought my current Nexus 4 about four years ago I experienced problems with the default email client - I had difficulties downloading and storing attachments. As a consequence I installed K-9 Mail and, generally, it works fine.

What is the current default Android email (Gmail?) client on Android Nougat like? Does it insert adverts? Do Google snoop?

I have my own domain so am only looking for a client, not an email provider.

K9 Mail. Used it on three Android phones and it has been brilliant.

I've been using Alto for a while, quite like it but really only use the basic features.

Whichever mail client I;m using I like combined inbox views, as I have Google mail plus my own domain mail and it was a pain having to switch inboxes. I think most would do that now.

I used K9 for a bit, can't remember now why I ditched it but whatever the reason I quite liked it at the time and I expect whatever it was that I didn't like has not been fixed.

Pretty much the same as Smokie.

I use Alto, but I don't do anything clever.

I was using BlueMail which I'd liked for a long time, but then I started having problems between it and Outlook, though with GMail it was always fine.

I usually like to see a combined inbox, but on occasions would like to look at them separately, Alto does this and switching between individual accounts or combined is just a swipe.

The default GMail client shows them combined only.

Is that new for Android 7? My Gmail client on 6 shows separate ones or combined, which is what I want as I want to keep the email account for running our business separate from the personal stuff.

I don't know, I was trying it out a month or two ago. I'll look again when I have a minute.
