That's a very recent version. My phone (Xperia 3) was updated to Anrdoid 6.0.1 about 2 weeks ago, and that only has version 6.4.1207...

Which "email"? There's a gazillion different generic "email" apps.

Why not try the most recent Gmail app. on the play store and see what happens.
Failing that, try older ones.

Google found this list of Gmail historical versions:

I cannot comment on the safety of using apk4fun, other than the general caveat that side-loading is potentially dangerous.
Maybe someone else here has used them and can comment.
