My grateful thanks to 'idonno" for posting a solution for me. Ironically, one of he things that attracted me to the Moto G5 was that it came with close to "stock" Android, devoid of all the unwanted apps that accompanied my previous mobile and tablet, and were seemingly impossible to remove without "rooting", which would have been too drastic for me. (The other attractions were a user-replaceable battery, which as a low-user of mobile phones seemed likely to fail before anything else, - and very good value for money.) I added my Gmail account right away when I bought the phone, but it is only now I come to want to add other email accounts that I realised that the facility for adding email accounts which weren't Gmail were apparently not included, except to do it in conjunction with the Gmail app, about which I expressed my concerns in my previous post. ( I do not know how real a concern this is, - it's just my perception.) I'm guessing that 'idonno' encountered the same issue with his Moto G6, but I wasn't previously aware of the possible need to install a third-party email app, so I'm grateful to him for pointing this out.
I've been comparing the various apps today, and am currently looking more closely at BlueMail (unpaid version). User reviews are helpful, but it's astonishing that in the case of even highly rated apps, there's always someone who has a problem with them. Any personal recommendations from forum members would be very welcome.
