Companies gain a lot of benefits in letting their employees access corporate data from everywhere, especially emails. There are several mail applications available in the App Store or Google Play Store for Android, but iOS native mail app and Outlook app are by far the most popular for iOS platform.

Using non-Microsoft mail app expose you the risk of getting minimum of support.
