Tested. Nice design, the app works and it is easy to handle. But the app does NOT connect to the desired mail servers, but instead to own servers of the app seller of Sugar Mail. Depending on the provider, you give your access data to someone unknown. All emails are also routed through the app provider's servers. This should be clear to all users and can be a major security issue. This information is also missing in the description of the app. People should be informed before downloading and installing. After reply: Just because some other apps are also cloud-based doesn't make it any better. Many other apps connect directly to the mail server.

Hi Olaf, yes the app is cloud based, there is a fairly detailed technical discussion here: https://forum.sugarmail.app/t/is-sugar-mail-cloud-based/20 Cloud based allows for battery efficient push and a few other nice features. Please note that it's a very common setup in 2020 (re: Spark, Outlook, Type / Blue Mail, My Mail, etc.).

Expensive recurring subscription fees that after one year will be higher than what the most expensive competitor product would cost to purchase once and for all as a lifetime license. There are at least five other e-mail programs available in the Play Store that offer more and better functionality than this one and that can be bought instead of rented. Consequently, this milkingware is now being uninstalled.

Just installed a trial version. It's not bad, but lacks a couple of important (to me, at least) features. First is the ability to disable an account rather than delete it. Second, it would be nice to have a separate folder, which would combine unread mail from all accounts, like a smart folder in Aqua Mail. And, there is no option to buy it. A subscription-only model would make me (and many others) to think twice before signing up.
