TWO mail app icons (work, personal)?

[CavemanMike]

Is that possible?

I'd like to use the native mail app for gmail and my exchange work email.

Presently, I'm going into mail and have to keep switching between my work and personal email.

Other than using the gmail app for my personal mail and the mail app for work, any other solutions?

Thanks,
Mike

There is a jailbrake tweak I used to use that allowed this. You get a bubble for each account on each corner of the icon. Up to 4 obviously. But since Google stopped push I just use the gmail app.

I use the outlook app for my work email and native for personal. I also put exchange calendar on the native calendar only. It's not exactly what you are wanting but I have found the outlook app to be very good and this to be a good balance at separating work and personal.

Alternately, another email app you could use is "Spark".

Here are some suggestions:

Inbox (By Google): This is a much cleaner and nicer alternative by Google for the gmail app
Spark: Great mail app that also has a good Apple watch component to it if you own an Apple watch
Outlook: (Microsoft): Microsoft bought this company and rebranded the mail app with their name.


All of the above are Free on the Appstore.

You would be better off just using 2 separate mail apps.

Instead of switching between the two inboxes, use the "All Boxes" tab. It will show all your email in one inbox and you won't have to switch between two different inboxes or apps. Then you can respond from whichever account you want.

This is probably the one thing Windows Phone actually does better than iOS.

That is how I use my phone/email. No need for multiple apps. I also the all trash, all sent, etc. I very seldom have to open separate accounts.

For the amount of rubbish emails i get at work for various things i couldnt be bothered with my phone pinging all the time with work emails and its more a nice to have to be able to access my work email more than a necessity so i've gone down the route of personal email in the default mail app with a sound\vibration notification but no banner\lock screen notification and then i have my work email via the Outlook app with all notifications turned off.

Handy if i'm off work in that if i have 10mins i can go in and delete all the rubbish mail prior to starting back and wasting a morning sorting it all out!
