Interesting. I'm posting this with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9FE (the cheaper model of yours) and it didn't come with a Samsung email app. I didn't notice until now since I use Gmail and the Gmail app did come already installed. (Google: "Take that Samsung") But I checked in the Samsung store and it's there for download so all is not lost if I ever get pissed at Google. Bottom line, I'm not curious enough to download it to see if it does what yours does, sorry. Suggestion if you can't fix it, get another email app, there are sure lots more out there...
