Newton is reborn to dominate emails

Each Android mobile has the ability to read emails and also send them. Generally is Gmail the default client; There are other apps from the mobile manufacturer that may also be included. Then there is Inbox, another great Google app that will soon die. And you have the most premium and powerful option for your trays: Newton.

Although we now talk about Newton as a novelty the truth is that this email client is a veteran of productivity. Cloudmagic He developed a premium and cross-platform client capable of competing with professional solutions such as Outlook. On Android, it gained remarkable popularity despite its price, but it stopped working last year. Now he has come back to life by surprise being behind the Essential team.

Behind the Essential CloudMagic purchase, the company of Andy Rubin which also manufactures the Essential Phone, we did not know if Newton I would restart the servers to start up the machinery for processing emails. He did it yesterday by surprise; and then the company confirmed that the plans are firm: the mail application is a serious alternative to Gmail and company.

Newton incorporates confirmation of reading, programming of sending of emails… And a very careful interface

Comparing email clients requires delving into the added features that each one incorporates. Gmail It is a heavyweight of applications that not only behaves as a cross-platform client, but also own your own mail service. This makes the pre-installed email application on Android sufficient and sufficient for most needs, including professionals. At least as long as you don't work primarily with other mail providers.

Newton Not only does it support Gmail, it also offers support for Office 365, Exchange and IMAP (Gmail can synchronize emails with these types of accounts, sometimes in a somewhat complex way). You can add as many accounts as necessary; and the application will be in charge of integrating the trays or separating them by accounts, that will go to the user's pleasure.

At the level of basic use There are no major differences between Gmail and Newton. Synchronization of trays, very similar interface, gestures for the administration of emails, grouping of mails in the threads, suggestion of contacts, option to signature, push synchronization… If you do not use advanced tools with Gmail it is enough for you and even enough. Newton does render its value in professional use.

Newton's extra options get its use considered. One of the ones we like the most is the read confirmation: When they read your emails Newton will let you know, just like in apps like WhatsApp. We can also schedule shipments, something very practical in the creation of newsletters, for example. And we can apply reminders if they do not answer an email, essential if we wait for an urgent response.

In the field of differences, there is one that is impossible to miss: the Spanish translation. Newton is basically in English, something that hinders its use in the case of not knowing the language. It is not complicated to use, that should be emphasized.

Gmail is more than valid for regular use of email. With Newton you pay for extra services

Newton It is a great email application, surely the best. It could even be better than Gmail, personal connotations would enter here. The problem is that the enormous cost of the service does not compensate for the use we can make of the cross-platform service: one year subscription to Newton 54.99 euros every year.

Gmail It's rough when it comes to setting up non-Google accounts, but it doesn't work badly after setting them up. Newton You can simplify the process, but not too much. Both clients combine the trays very well and offer a comfortable reading of mails, also in the field of writing. And Gmail has a great advantage: manage your own service; quite the opposite that Newton since it uses other people's platforms. This puts our privacy at risk.

Currently Newton offers a 14-day trial: We recommend that you value it if you regularly use email on your Android smartphone and want to have a multiplatform and powerful way to manage it. For the semi-professional field it is excellent. The staff is too expensive to have customers as good as Gmail.
