What's wrong with iOS's own Mail app?
Hand down Outlook!!! iOS's own mail app lacks many features and the simple task of attaching files is still pretty lame.
i use both the built in app and outlook.. i feel that outlook is not that great..it lacks the basic feature of showing notifications for subfolders..which is ridiculous
there is this amazing app on android called "nine" i sure wish they would come out with an ios version

Does your team rely a lot on google drive? If so, I think it's hard to use anything but gmail as Google drive links end up opening in the web browser instead of in the drive apps, which I find frustrating. I hate that Google hasn't just implemented proper url support for drive, a link to any drive document from any app should open it in the native app if possible and only go to the web as a fallback.
Have any of you tried using Inbox by Google? While I don't use it for all of my email needs, nor do I think it's the best email client for the iPad, I prefer it over the standard Gmail app.
Was not able to try it, because it doesn't work with gmail for work accounts. That's one thing to keep in mind, and something not enough people point out.
Well, I have 3 gmail accounts. 1 personal (and which is really more of a junk email account), and 2 work-assigned gmail accounts. Inbox was not able to work with the latter 2, and I don't really get advertisements sent to them anyways.
I am using Mailbox, but that hasn't been updated in ages, so I am just waiting for the iPad version of Spark before I dump it altogether.
Gmail on the iPad Pro really sucks. It seems an upscaled version of the IPHONE app, not even the regular iPad app. I am using Inbox meanwhile, but not convinced. I use Outlook for my work mail but I like the folders categorization on GMail and Inbox and don't want to lose that.
Outlook for a couple of reasons. First, it is probably, functionally, the best one available. It has all the features, like scheduling, easy attachments, etc. I need. Second, I know it isn't going anywhere. I don't want to be tied to an app that is going to disappear leaving me to find an alternative. We have seen it with Sparrow and Mailbox, and it's just a matter of time before something like Spark has the same fate. I wouldn't even trust Inbox.
Can't print Outlook email at the time. It is planned but with no time frame for release.
Next release. I'm a beta tester for Outlook and the new beta has printing as well as 3D Touch from the app icon.
I still think Spark by Readdle is a more complete/better app and updated much more often with features. It has a ton more features (has had printing and a lot more 3D Touch and other options, and Outlook is still somehow missing HTML signatures). It uses flick side to side to change email signatures, and just a more thought out app with a ton more customization than Outlook; plus much better snoozing email options (updated yesterday on the iphone).
It should be coming beta to the iPad this month. The iphone version has been out for some time and is very very good.
