Oh, what I was referring to was the ability to check emails using an app or gmail, POP3/IMAP are protocols that allow you to check email with other apps (simplified description).
Have you tried the Canvas Android app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instructure.candroid
Canvas is for Android and can be found here, but it was designed for the original pebble. The Time version is still in beta so you would have to join the Canvas Beta group found here to install it.
They have a dedicated app.

"Canvas" the place where professors post everything has an app and I found it quite convenient when I was a student: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instructure.candroid&hl=en_CA&gl=US
That is all that come to mind
The Canvas app, since professors post everything on there: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instructure.candroid&hl=en_CA&gl=US
Lots of schools have started using Instructure's Canvas course management system (for grades, file upload, discussions, etc) and they have a pretty solid app that works well and looks pretty modern. Even if they don't use Canvas, other course managers may have apps that you can use as well.
Likewise, lots of schools have their own all-in-one app (both my undergrad and grad schools have at least) which has course schedules, bus schedules, campus map, and other things bundled into one app. Normally they're not the best apps and occasionally crash, but they get the job done. If not, there may be a "third-party" app that some CS student coded up that normally gets the job done.
/u/forthelol mentioned Notebloc for scanning, which is a pretty nice feature. Both Google Drive and OneDrive have a camera-to-scan feature built-in so I use the one Google has built it cause it'll upload to Drive directly. Along the same lines, a lot of schools have deal with Box, Google, Microsoft, or someone else for students/faculty to have cloud storage (often it's unlimited or some very large amount) so take advantage of whatever the corresponding app is.
For email, some schools use Gmail as their default email client and some use something else. Regardless, you should be able to use Gmail as the client and you can then add that account to the phone and access school email within the Gmail app. For other messaging, lots of students (in the US at least) use GroupMe for class groups or group projects so I would recommend that or whatever other group messaging app most other students using.
If you use subscription services like Spotify, Hulu, or NFL Sunday Ticket U for out of market NFL games, many have student discounts for half-price or bundle services together. For example, Spotify student is only $5/month and includes the limited commercial version of Hulu as well or NFL Sunday Ticket U is half price ($100 instead of $200 I believe).
Lastly (and most importantly imo), find out what else your school has subscriptions or deals for. Many schools, especially larger ones, have subscriptions with many different companies to provide their services to students free of charge (or as part of tuition). Most student's never take advantage of all of these things, but there's a lot of things you can get for free. For example, some schools have HBO bundled into their TV packages for dorms and you can use that to sign into the HBO Go app or they have subscriptions to the Lynda learning service that has an app you can use. Take advantage of these cause you're not going to get them for free later on and many are really nice services.
That was a lot of stuff, but I found that those were the things that I used the most - colleges took a few years to get up to speed with the smartphone era (my undergrad didn't have built-in WiFi in dorms my freshman year, only ethernet and that was in 2013 at a very large university), but now that they have, they've been pretty good at keeping up with the rapid pace at which student's adopt new technology (they kinda have to tbf cause that's who they have to cater to)
Here is the Android version link.
Is this the right one?
