About This Feature
Overview
Email is one of the field types available in WPS Office multi-dimensional tables on iOS. It is used to store email addresses and helps check whether the entered content follows a standard email format.

Core capabilities include:

| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS lets you create an email field in a multi-dimensional table, enter email addresses in records, and use format-aware entry for structured data management. | Outlook for iOS supports adding existing email accounts and completing authentication for mailbox access and sync. | The Gmail app on iPhone and iPad supports adding Gmail and non-Gmail accounts, including manual IMAP setup. | Notion Mail supports Gmail-based email account connection and lets users add another Gmail account. | Acrobat for iOS focuses on PDF viewing, sharing, and sending copies rather than table-based email field management. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: stores email addresses as structured table data inside records; Distinct: field setup and data entry stay in the same table workflow. | Compared with WPS: focuses on account connection and email use, not structured field management inside a table. | Compared with WPS: focuses on inbox aggregation and account setup rather than table field entry. | Compared with WPS: focuses on Gmail-connected mail views and account use, with a weaker fit for structured table data entry. | Compared with WPS: focuses on PDF workflows and file sharing, without an equivalent table email field feature. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to store email addresses as structured data inside table records, WPS Email is a better fit for everyday information management on iOS. The other products focus more on mailbox setup, inbox workflows, or PDF sharing, so their use cases are different from a table field designed for email data.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Customer contact tracking | Sales teams, support teams | Contact details are scattered and hard to maintain | Store customer email addresses in one structured field |
