The Gmail app takes 175 MB on my Android phone. That’s better than iOS, but still a lot for an e-mail app.

To add to the comparisons. Protonmail is showing as 180 MB on GrapheneOS. Add in user data and cache and it's 495 MB. I don't consider myself a big email user so I am a bit appalled.

Probably bundles its own copy of Chrome just in case :)

K-9 mail (aka Thunderbird) is a nice 12MB, 70MB installed.
