On board Email Client vs K-9

[muddasick]

Hello,

I am brand new to the Galaxy S2 (from Blackberry 9860 - never going back!!!), I've read quite a bit about the onboard Email client vs K-9 and others out there. At first I shied away from the "Email" and went straight to K-9 due to a lot of the chatter I read in different forums.

Well this morning I setup "Email" and I have to say it does exactly what it is suppose to do. I can setup mutliple accounts (I have 5), I can send from which ever account I want. I can create unique signatures for each account (this was important for me). I can setup the frequency that each account is checked. It doesn't interfere with my outlook inboxes. And most of all the icon on my homescreen actually shows the amount of emails I have.

Why on earth are persons using other email clients.... I'm a bit baffled.

I still have K-9 on, but I'm about to delete it.

K-9 has now been deleted. The native email client is great.

can't open folder in the standard email app or move emails between them.

Can using the hotmail app but its dog slow and seems less stable

K-9 is as good as any other pushmail service: if not, better: fetches my office mail faster that a BB would: as for the native mail app, never liked it...
