Problem: I use my own device to access work email when I'm working away from the office (generally twice a week). I don't want to receive work emails in the evening, weekends etc. So far I've used K-9Mail with two separate accounts, personal and work.

Proposed solution: since work email is an Exchange server, install Outlook on my Android device, and disable notifications when I'm not at work. I'm not happy to install proprietary software, but is more important in this specific case.

I made a similar move myself... And it made life much better. I eventually removed Outlook from my phone to resist the temptation to to check for emails out of hours, and while it's still a bit of a process fixing my behavior in that regard on my home computer, my evenings and weekends have been more my own. Hope things go well for you and Outlook pays off (even though it's Outlook ๐Ÿ˜›)!
