I am wondering if there is a downside to using multiple mail and calendar apps on my iOS device? Specifically the iOS devices come with apple provide apps for both, but I have found 3rd party apps that work better for me. If I have both (Apple's app as well as the 3rd party app) configured, am I doubling the amount of data & memory I am using on the iOS device?

Best Answer
Yes, you definitely will double the data sent, if one uses two apps for the same account.
However, using different programs may be useful. For example, if you want to separate your professional Exchange E-mail from your personal accounts. This way, there is a logical separation, and you run less risk of accidentally sending out a personal mail on a business acount, and vice versa. Some mail apps even have password or PIN protection (for example, Divide), which will keep your E-mail accounts safe, even if someone swipes your phone when you are using it.
