In this article, I will cover the Spark email client for Android. Spark is a personal email client with intelligent email prioritization that lists the important emails at the top and cleans up the rest. On top of that, it notifies you only when you get a mail from someone known or your contacts and keeps the rest of the unimportant emails silent. Apart from that, Spark has some revolutionary features for teams that lets you collaborate on emails, delegate emails, share and discuss emails, and more.
The Spark email client was initially made available on Mac and iPhone with a vision to be a cross-platform email client. Moving forward in that direction, Spark recently released its email client app for Android. The new app brings all the features of the Spark to your Android phone. So, let’s dive in the article and discuss the main highlights of this app which makes it different from the competition.
