I'm a newbie with smart phones. I'm coming from a dumb phone and just ordered a Nexus 5. Looking at Nexus 5 specs and stock apps, I don't understand why the Nexus 5 has an Email app and a Gmail app. Isn't Gmail, e-mail? Why does Google separate e-mails? I have Gmail accounts, AOL e-mail accounts and Time Warner (Road Runner) e-mail accounts. Can I send and receive all my accounts in my Gmail app? Can I send and receive all my accounts in my Email app? Isn't all e-mail, e-mail? I don't understand the separation. Is Google making e-mailing, unnecessarily complicated? Are some e-mail accounts blocked out from one app or the other?
The gmail app is only for GMail, and is highly optimised for GMail. For example, it has the tabbed inbox (General, Social, Promotions, Updates, and Forums).
The email app is for any e-mail (POP or IMAP). Of course you can use the email app for GMail through the IMAP feature in GMail, but you won't get the optimised experience.

Use Email app to add all your email accounts.
But, if I were you I would start phasing out the AOL and RR email acounts and only use Gmail, this use only Gmail app.
I did this a few years ago and set an auto-forward on all my RR email. Whenever I would get an email sent to RR, I would update my profile's email on that account/service/website's. I now have one email and have the additional features that someone already mentioned above.

im using aqua
newton is really the best email app aver, it's very simple, great design, lightweight, and free. You can subscribe to a premium features, but even without them the app is just amazing. It's used to be called cloudmagic.
Just remember this when choosing an email app:
http://androidforums.com/threads/email-which-apps-keep-it-private.935578/
Btw: Newton = Cloud Magic
I'm using Alto. Tried almost all app in the list (except Nine which is not free) but my heart is with Alto. Want to vote but no Alto in the list, only Gmail and Aqua?
You can add a poll to the first post?
Sorry for my bad English.

Read it. My favorite (Alto) is not secure!
K9 mail is not good enough. Aqua mail is limited to 2 accounts in free version. Mail Droid contains ads. What's left is [email protected] mail which is new to my ear. Tried it and [email protected] mail seems fantastic. A lot of features and customization. And secure too.
I'll use it side by side with Alto for next few days before I decide which one is better.

It's a good mail app but now it forces pay premium to use, unless it is not load new emails! 50$ for 1 year, too expensive to use with premium feature. I must uninstall it after 2 year using. It's a stupid Newton Mail development team.

I always prefer Gmail and recommend to others. It is free and very easy to use. One of the best things is to login to multiple accounts on a single browser at a time.

Apart from that, you can also use NoxApp+, which can not only run multiple accounts for emails but also for many other apps like whatsapp. facebook, or even games, without even switching or quitting!!
#10 – Gmail, the only one I'm using.

In some europ. countries using g-mail is not permitted without written permission of your partners: E-mail addresses and the mails itself are sensitive personal data and must not be stored on servers outside the EU without permissions of all who it may concern...
Aquamail:
Now there are advertisements even in pro key versions. Not ad-free anymore... See comments in play store.
FairEmail as an alternative has an more honest developer.
Download:
Last version of AquaMail without popup advertisements, when opening an attachment, see below. To use only with legal pro key of AquaMail.
This apk is signed with ZipSigner, so there won't be a request to update anymore.
Although many users complain, the Aquamail company does not want to remove this advertisement mentioned above from the paid and ad-free called version of Aquamail.
It is now installed from version 1.17 onwards.
Good Share! Using a Lockdown Solution to run these Apps would be great!
When it comes to enterprise, using a kiosk lockdown solution that allows managers or IT admin to control and manage devices by selecting apps, websites & content leads in improving.
thanks for the list.
I'm currently using Spike (formerly Hopmail) for my Gmail(s) and Swing Mail for my Outlook. Both have very good conversation UI and reliable push notifications. Swing Mail has another plus : it can handle Twitter DM with push notifications
