MODERATORS
The App "Nine - Mail & Calendar" used to be quite good for Exchange. I used it years ago and was quite happy. Currently it has only 3.5 stars on the Play Store so I don't know how good it still is.
Back when I used it I checked it for privacy and considered it save. No idea about the current status though. It is not FOSS.
I use it for my work mail. I can’t speak to their privacy, but I think it’s ok. So far as I know they haven’t done anything stupid, and all the connections are only from my device, no cloud intermediary.
I do like that it allows you to only apply the ActiveSync policies to the app instead of the entire device. If my employer remote wipes my device, it only impacts the app.
My DDG-search came up with Nine too. There seem not to be much information around its privacy which makes me hesitant.
I can't comment on their privacy, but I thought of Nine when I read your post. I used it back before the Outlook app supported folders. I think it was a great alternative and worked better than anything out there... Mind you, it was years ago.
Also, have you thought about using a different user profile for just work? I know you're asking about apps but you can gain some privacy from segregation too.
Another vote for Nine. Most tweakable mobile Mail app I've ever used.
