Do you know if Bluemail has a setting to configure it as a startup app, so it is running when I log into my Windows account? On Android, is it manifested to be a stick app or use a service, so it is running when I startup the smartphone? I don't want to remember to start an e-mail app. I currently use the eM Client program on my Windows desktop. I tried their UWP app, but it had no option to start it on Windows login. I figured out how to specify the app ID on a command line, but it was simpler to just go back to their Win32 program. While eM Client supports EAS and EWS to MS accounts, MS took away those protocols for us freeloaders. Had to go to IMAP, and iCal and iCard. I had MS 365 for about 5 years, but quit a couple years ago. Don't know if I'll go back to it, but if I do then I regain EWS access. Bluemail says "Any device, any protocol". I looked in their help, and both EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) and EWS (Exchange Web Services) are supported. Might have to retrial Bluemail since I cannot remember why I passed on it before. I trialed BlueMail a while ago, like 2 years. For reasons I don't remember now, I didn't like it. However, I don't see how Bluemail when using IMAP IDLE is going to perform any different than my current e-mail client that also supports IMAP IDLE. It only works on the Inbox folder. As with Bluemail, I would configure a very short poll interval to get the other folders updated quickly, like 1-minute polls. A 1-minute delay to see I got a 2FA code is okay since they don't expire for many minutes longer.
