Google Nexus 5
Discussion
I've not used Aquamail Pro, but use the free version everyday with two mail accounts registered on it. But I've been thinking of trying something else. It has always seemed to work fine, but it is slow at opening emails to display them, sometimes so frustratingly slow at displaying emails that I've connected one of the accounts to the regular GMail app on my N7, and doing the same as of tomorrow on the N5.

I've only just installed it on my N5 but i wouldn't call it slow. I have read of people finding the N7 very slow at some things when compared to the N5, so maybe you'll find it better on your N5.Sorry, just to clarify, I've only had Aquamail (free) on the N5. It is annoyingly slow opening emails.
I added the email accounts to the GMail app on the N7 as a type of trial for the weekend, before I do similar on the N5 for tomorrow.
When opening an email, it frequently displays a blue loading/status bar at the top of the mail message, and pauses here for various amounts of time. And I know it's not signal or Wi-Fi issues because as experiments I've switched to browsers, other mail apps etc and checked they are working etc and returned to Aquamail to still find it doing it's thing.....

I have never had worse battery life on any phone, even after the battery is 2 years old. This isn't even one yet and I need 2 full charges a day.
I have BT/Wifi/GPS on all the time but this has never been an issue before, and I use all of them regularly. I have switched GPS to battery saving just now, but will it automatically switch on when I fire up google maps.
Even more annoying and more pressing is that my microphone has stopped working completely. Nobody can hear anything at all. I have tried the internet fixes - compressed air in the mic grille, switching to speaker phone (which works) and back (stops working again). hands free kit and bluetooth calling seem to work (although BT was a bit glitchy just now but that may be a one off).
Phone got damp a month or so ago when I got soaked to the skin and everything worked OK except the mike got flaky, but it was fine as soon as it dried out.
What's my next step? RMA it?

Sounds like self-inflicted issue. You could try RMA but I doubt it if water damaged. Phone got damp a month or so ago when I got soaked to the skin and everything worked OK except the mike got flaky, but it was fine as soon as it dried out.

May even be affecting battery life if antennae water affected.
Mine's getting on, one of the first but still going strong with good battery, at least a day and a half with moderate usage. Lollipop has given it a nice new feel too. All good.
Received OTA this morning, after I'd overslept through the fecking alarm because I'd inadvertently set it to no interruptions. I miss proper silent mode.
I'm sure that once I 'get it' the new system will be okay, but right now I'm either missing calls/messages throughout the day or getting woken in the night. I'd not realized how much I'd relied on Llama to set modes.
Royal PITA!
Hope to get used to this soon or I'll have to seriously consider looking at apple/windows phones. So annoying.
