Mail app is missing on Redmi 5 phone

Almost every Android phone has stock email app preinstalled. Same is the case with Mi phones I had previously used- Redmi 2 Prime, Redmi Note 3 and Redmi Note 4. The default Mi Mail App is pretty decent and I had used it extensively both for work and personal emails. But in the recent Mi Redmi 5 phone purchase, I was surprised not to find the stock Mi Mail app preinstalled. As per Mi forums, the Mail app is also missing on other Mi phones as well. In this post, we shall see how to get the Mi Mail App if you want and also see other alternatives.
