How to Change the Email App on a Samsung Galaxy Tab
Samsung includes its own email app called Samsung Email on every Galaxy tablet. Although the built-in Email app is able to send and receive mail for nearly every type of email account, you may prefer using an email app you like better, such as Gmail or Outlook. There's no way to delete the built-in Email app, but you can install an alternative and use that instead. This wikiHow teaches you how to install and setup an alternative email app on your Samsung Galaxy tablet.
Steps

Tap the app you want to download. This displays more information about it.

Tap Install. It's near the top of the page. This will download the app to your tablet. Depending on your settings, you may be prompted to agree to certain permissions or provide a passcode to complete the download. Once the app is installed, its icon will be added to your app list.

Open your new email app. If you're still in the Play Store, you can tap Open near the top to launch it for the first time. If not, and in the future, you can launch the app by tapping its icon in the app drawer.

Follow the on-screen instructions to sign in. The first time you open your new email app, you'll be prompted to log into your email account. Enter your username and password as prompted, and follow any online instructions to get started with the app.
