This phone is basically a Gnome Phone, so mail client will be Geary, which is decent enough. The anbox project is able to port Android apps into GNU/Linux. Though last time I tried, not very stable and crash very often. Whatsapp could be installed. Hope at release the project could be more stable and able to port to Librem 5.

WhatsApp isn't open source, and they don't have a client for that chip AFAIK, so getting WhatsApp working would require work from Facebook.
Apps like Signal that are open source will likely be available.
