Does anyone know if there is a client for Android (and maybe also for iOS...) that works with EWS for mail, calendars and contacts?

Does anyone know if there is a client for Android (and maybe also for iOS...) that works with EWS (not EAS...)?

It should support (besides mail) also calendars and contacts...

Here's what I've found:

AquaMail
- "Support for standard Internet email protocols: IMAP, POP3, SMTP; Exchange: EWS" (reference)
Blue Mail
- "Support for … Exchange (ActiveSync, EWS, 365)"
- cloud-involved
Email TypeApp
- "Supporting … all Exchange protocols including Exchange Web Services (EWS)"
- probably cloud-involved
MailCal for Exchange
- "email and calendar client that uses EWS/OWA/Webmail"
MailDroid
- various forum postings discuss EWS support
MobiMail
- "Exchange Web Services (EWS) is required on the Exchange server"
Newton Mail
- "Supports Calendar for Gmail, Google Apps, and Exchange (EWS)"
- cloud-involved
Stack Mail, a.k.a. Ginger Mail, a.k.a. Squash Mail
- "Please make sure that EWS (Exchange Web Services) is enabled on your Exchange server"

Hello Brian,

I've tested this app and I can say

AquaMail: NOT working
Blue Mail: NOT working (as said here)
Email TypeApp: seems working but it doesn't sync
MailCal for Exchange: not found on Play Store
MailDroid: cannot install on S20
MobiMail: not found on Play Store
Newton Mail: must create a Newton Account / 14 days trial / works fine
Stack Mail: paid one, not tested

I hope to be helpful.

Why is eM Clilent not on your list? I thought I saw a posting some place about increased co-operation between eM Client and SmarterMail.

In that posting SmarterMail has some kind of co-op agreement with eM Client and is testing this APP as part of SmarterMail's process.

eM Client for Android and iOS is in beta.

for mail you can use outlook or gmail. calendar integration is with the integrated calendar app or you can use business calendar (pro)

Yesterday I tested Aquamail and BlueMail with Smartermail 8538: they both work in EWS mode, but only for email. No calendar or contacts.

AquaMail explicitly states that calendars and contacts only work with EAS.

I'm also testing EM Client, but it's still in BETA and has limited functionality
