Why can’t I use Apple Mail, Outlook, or other mail clients?
What we’re really doing is disabling access to your email using IMAP and POP protocols. IMAP and POP allow third-party apps to send and receive email on behalf of your account, but they also increase the risk of data to be leaked, deleted, and transferred out of your account. This also lets us block access to your email/calendar more efficiently if your mobile device is lost or stolen.

Switching from the iPhone Mail app to Gmail?
Here are some perks of using Gmail instead of the iPhone Mail app. [Source: https://www.hongkiat.com/blog/gmail-on-iphone/#:~:text=Gmail%20on%20iOS,your%20emails%20in%20one%20place]
Instant updates: On the iPhone Mail app, your CCAD emails do not appear instantly because they have to wait for the Mail app to refresh. Now, your emails will show up right away.
Priority Inbox: If you already use this Gmail feature on your computer, now you will be able to also use it on your phone to filter your important and unread emails, your starred emails, etc.
Archives and search: On the iPhone Mail app, it’s difficult to search for emails that you have archived. With the Gmail app, you can always find all of your emails when you need them. (Reminder, archived mail appears in the All Mail folder.)
Advanced functions: Tap the down arrow in any email and you’ll see many familiar options. Most notably, you can report an email for spam (unavailable in Mail) or mark it as unread (have to be in the main inbox, and requires a few clicks in Mail). You can also easily add a label from there as well, and even print if you need to.
Undo actions: Sometimes our fingers slip and delete or archive a mail when we didn’t intend to do that. This is particularly bothersome in two-way sync environments. But with the Gmail app you can simply click Undo and get it all back intact.
Send mail as: When you load the Gmail app, you can send mail under any of your authorized Gmail addresses.
