Email Question from recent iOS Convert

Hi all,

I've just switched over from iOS a week ago. I am very much enjoying all of the new customization and modifications available on my Samsung S4.

That said, there are a few (perhaps minor) issues that I miss about iOS. I was wondering if anyone could give me a point in the right direction?

Are there any email clients that have similar features to the following:
  • Swipe to Delete
  • Bounce... (when you scroll down to the bottom of a screen, the screen sort of bounces back)
  • Adjustable fonts (iOS uses really crisp, thin fonts. In general the typography looks great in iOS 7)

I mainly use one email account, connected to a MS Exchange server. I use the gmail app for my personal email, so I'm not as concerned on that end.

Thanks in advance,
Sae
 
Well, Gmail app has the swipe to delete/archive, so you can use that if you use Gmail.

Bounce doesn't exist. Apple sued Samsung and Nokia for doing that before so they removed it, and Google implemented the lighting effect. For some reason Apple patented that effect.

They follow the system fonts, so just change the system font in your phone's settings. iOS7 if I remember correctly uses a variation of the Helvetica font. Try Helvetica S.
 
Swipe to Delete

The swipe to delete is an iOS convention. On Android, deleting items generally involve long tapping to bring up a menu of choices and then selecting delete from that menu. GMail has a swipe to delete gesture. I don't recall this convention used in any other app I have.
