I have replaced the Google Now launcher with the Apex launcher (main
reason: to get rid of the Google search bar) and indeed, on the desktop
at least, I can change an app's logo to any other logo.
I have an icon pack installed ('Glasklart' in this case) and took some
universal e-mail logo from there.

Good morning

I been using K@ for a few months.  Works well for day to day stuff

I'm still looking for an app that includes only highlighted text from the 
original in the reply, though. I figure redirect won't pass Google's 
'ethics'process, as they state publicly that they believe the process is a 
security risk. I disagree.

Except, the dev(s) has not updated since about May 2014, nor does
he/she/they respond to emails about it. Meanwhile, K-9 gets regular
updates.

Glad you said that -- I don't like the dog either. I don't get the

If you are talking about the app¹ you should know that it routes your
e-mails and access credentials through its own servers. See their

I like K9, just wish it has one more feature when I delete messages,
I would prefer them to be shown with a strike through and then I could
either /really/ delete them or I could simply undelete them.  As it is
now, if I delete a message, it is marked for deletion, but K9 won't ever
see it again -- I have to use Thunderbird on the desktop to undelete any
messages.

KaiMail -- I couldn't stand the idea of their free version adding bad
tags and the pay for version is too expensive.  K9 for me, probably
forever, even if I can't have delete/undelete function as I would like.

K9 and the forks and family are oldies and goodies. They are showing their 
age, but still, one cannot go wrong with them.

GMail and Inbox are resource hogs (along with most gapps).

Microsoft's Outlook (not the Windows Outlook or Express!) is a decent 
lightweight contender and integrates calendar and contacts functions as well. 
This program is an acquisition. Its calendar functions will be incorporating 
those of another of their acquisitions, Sunrise calendar, which was one of the 
best.
(Note that it plays very well with GMail accounts but it never read my own 
IMAP server through which I ran my pop3 accounts. I run the old pop3 stuff 
through GMail now so this works out just fine. Do not need the GMail app to do 
this--set it up on the site.)

I wonder why there is a disclaimer like "please excuse this mail - sent
from phone or tablet" at the end of each mail.

Kaiten Mail like K-@ Mail seem both to be *closed source* forks 
(possible as K-9 is under APL 2.0) of K-9 (which is available through 
f-droid by the way). For this alone I'd imagine it would not be 
something most Debian users would want to support. At least I could not 
find any reference to the source (and no official mention of K-@ Mail 
being actually a fork of K-9, unlike Kaiten which advertises it).

K-9, here; using IMAP to reach Dovecot on Debian.

Took a little setting up to limit the display of mailbox folders to 
only those I want/need to use on the phone/tablet.  Solid performance, 
though.
