I was surprised that the Samsung email app was not pre-installed (eg 
with an icon in the Samsung folder on the desktop) as it was on my 
present phone, a Samsung Galaxy A54, and my previous one which was also 
a Samsung Galaxy of some model from a few years ago. Since I'm used to 
this app on my phone, I chose it for the tablet as well. I'm sure there 
are other apps which are better.

I wonder if Samsung have decided (or been coerced) not to pre-install 
their own browser and email client, and let people decide which app to 
use, rather like Microsoft had to unbundle Windows Mail / Windows Live 
Mail, and Internet Explorer, and let people chose which programmes they 
wanted.
