Good email app with Microsoft Exchange protocol support for Android (lemmy.world)

If anyone can recommend me a better community to post this in, please do so.

I have an Exchange email that was given to me by my company, but they disabled IMAP/POP support, and they won't turn it on. I don't want to use an email client that requires access over my device (ex: screen lock control). Is there a good app that allows me to bypass that (like Davmail for a computer)? It doesn't need to be open source, I just need something that works without crazy control over my phone.

I don't know all the other apps listed here but I do know last I looked Nine was the only one that actually had Exchange ActiveSync support. ActiveSync is a licensed protocol so you won't find it supported in a free app, open source or not, not without some alternative monetization that compromises your privacy. Nine has no ads and doesn't run through their cloud. It also optionally isolates the security model to the app so remote wipe and other employer policies don't apply to your OS. I also didn't want the corporate address book integrated with my personal one, and it lets me keep that separate, too.
