Hi
 My 2 newest android phones both use a standard Gmail-ap that is unreliable getting mail from one of my accounts. Less than half of the mails are coming in. So I would like to get recomandations for a simple ap without ads, that can handle 3-4 accounts. It does not have to be free, but free from ads and malware.

 Open Source: K-9. I use it on my Pixels for years.

 I've used Blue Mail for years on Motorola and Pixel phones.  I chose it rather than K-9 because at the time I did not want 'push' mail and apparently that was K-9's only option.

    That must have been a long time ago. My K-9 Mail is at least two and a
half years old - version 6.000 - and I've set the 'Fetching mail' poll
frequency to Never, for both POP3 and IMAP. Other poll frequencies are
from Every 15 minutes to Every 24 hours. Never and Every 24 hours aren't
really 'pushy' are they!> :-)

I only want to get it when I click 'refresh'.  The gmail app didn't like working that way, and neither did K-9 at least 9 years ago.  I've had the Pixel for 3 years and I'm guessing I had the 2 Motorolas and 1 BLU for 2 years each.

My computer is my main email source;  I only want it on my phone when I am (rarely) away from home for any length of time.

    (As I mentioned before,) Same here.
