I know this is not the place to ask this question, but you guys are experts and I would think you would have the best answer to this question. I need an email client for an IMAP server with TLS...actually it's a Cyrus IMAP server running on SuSE 9.0. Outlook is alright, but I can't just send an email, rather I have to send and receive at the same time. I've tried WebIS mail, but it seems to be really slow.
What are you folks using?
Thanks,
Tom

So I have it working. I setup a Rule not to download mail over 2 days old, but it still wants to download my 3300+ emails in my IMAP Inbox. I've read the manual, but can't figure out how to overcome this. Any thoughts? If you want to PM me, feel free.
Tom
Use WEbIS mail 2.11 or Q Mail.....I use Q-Mail....it is the best.....tried Profimail but no good as compared to these.
Hi
As we seem to have warmed up the mail topic is there any solution to an old problem of mine?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=80049#80049
MDAIIIUser,
A simple solution to your problem is a carrier pigeon. Hahahahaha. oooh, too much coffee.
I found that an IMAP email service works best. I use linuxmail.org. If offers great spam filtering (sometimes too good) and since they offer IMAP as well as POP (which I never use) I can get the same mail at my office, home, PDA, brother's house, guest computer....anywhere. Dump the activesync and outlook/smtp idea and try imap. Linuxmail.org, also has the ability to check POP servers for mail.
I just thought having an imap server might work better for you than regular POP. Linuxmail.org is $25/year, but I'm sure there are others.

Do I read you in the way that linuxmail.org will pick up my mail at pop.mypopmail.com and I will pick up this mail from them, thus I keep [email protected].
You see I am not looking for a [email protected]
dig ? or was that to short?

Oh, I dig Honeybunny. I'm totally down with that. Yo, yo... (I really need to stop drinking so much coffee).
Linuxmail.org (or others...I just run Linux hence my reason for this) can go out, pick up my email from gmail, yahoo, (not sure about hotmail...rememeber linux-user) and put it into my Linuxmail account. Since you're using an STMP account from say, Google, you can always sendmail thru that service. Check on Linuxmail, send on Google. The only downside with that is you won't be able to keep a copy of your sent mail on your IMAP.
This company looks pretty good too: http://1300.runbox.com/ I might test them out, but I don't want to ditch my linuxmail account. Take a look at them.
Tom
One other quick note...for work, we have an IMAP server and I have a Tmobile account for email as well. When I'm traveling (I'll be in the UK June 19th if anyone wants to get together) I can get email from my IMAP server and I will send via my Tmobile account. Tmo has a feature where you specify your email (say, acme.com) and when I send mail on my i-mate it goes thru the Tmo service, but you would see it as [email protected] instead of [email protected]. Its pretty cool.
I'm not too keen on Messaging because it won't allow me to send without receiving first....which is just really, really stupid. I use WebIS Mail to just shoot out an email to someone via the Tmo service. WebIS Mail has got it's own set of issues that I'm trying to deal with now.
Food for thought. Feel free to PM me if you want. I can call ya too.
Tom
hmmmm, I have solved it in a different way ...
mostly due to often accessing my mail from different locations and at the same time willing to keep my mail in one place safe, easy for download ...... I decided to invest in piece of hardware called Linux based Toshiba Magnia SG20 being among other very clever email server for both POP3 and IMAP mail service, ok it was an expense .... but finally now I can access my mail from virtually everywhere and have my mail traffic and storage off the computer I currently use, I can download necessary mail and respond easily, synchronization is no longer an issue with WebIS Mail ;-))
I made my work's IMAP server from an PIII800, 40GB drive, and 1GB RAM. I installed SuSE 9.0 and Cyrus IMAP, Postfix, spamassassin, Sendmail, etc... Cost=$90 and I can access it from anywhere in the world. The computer was an employee's computer which was upgraded. I was going to toss it, but decided to make a mailserver out of it. SuSE was already installed on my work computer, so it really didn't cost me much.
I have to admit, the Toshiba looks interesting. Too bad they don't make it anymore.
While I can take a new Mini Mac and do the same thing for about $500 on a personal level, it's really not worth spending that much time for a personal email server. I'm happy with third party providers.
WebIS is still not running well, so I dumped it and I'm sticking with Messaging. I tried ProfiMail and that had some drawbacks as well.
Tom
Boys and thier toys, 1 gig memory, bit of overkill or not. <Grin>.
Sure its a solution, ms exchange with active sync would work fine for me to, oh yes and my own domain, mx record and a fix ip.... but...
Not all of use are teck heads. No offence but should there not be a solution for say USD 29.95.
Anyway Webis lets you move sent items to a different folder (as in to the active sync folder). Now will have to play with that, work out how to set webis as default mail app. I have now set up up a pop account/folder and that option has gone. Find my sms and waste a lot of time to end up junking it. Oh well what else to do untill a new rom comes out. Still think it sucks unless you are a corparate user with all that nice infra.
Thanks tom
Could someone recommend me an email client that does imap and it's posibble to set on which days of the week from when till when and how often to check for mail automatically?

Instead of a fixed IP, you could run DynDNS like I do. It tracks your current IP and reroutes everything to your computer. I have cable internet, so my IP changes every couple months, or after a power outage. Your DNS and MX would point to DynDNS and DynDNS would route folks to you. It's a pretty sweet setup.

I completely agree...about the tech heads. Someone should make something more simple, but I think the expense would be too high since it entails a complete computer system. Linux has an email server built into it while Windows does not, but then you have downsides to using Linux as well.

I rarely use Activesync so setting up my email for that is pointless. When I want to send an email, I want to send it now...not when I can get to my computer to run activesync. You should try finding a email company that has an IMAP server. Once you have that, you'll never want POP again.

If you're talking about doing it on your pda, it's not going to happen. You can set email programs to check every x minutes, but that's about it. If you have your gprs on 24 hours a day, then it might be possible, but otherwise I don't see this as an option with the 3 email programs I've played with (Messaging, WebIS Mail, ProfiMail).
Tom
Ok, so I up the e-mail stream without a paddle.
BTW, The Activesyn I only use to get the contents of my mail box of my Laptop and on to my device. I send mail over wifi on the pop acoount (then have to copy the sent item to the activesycn folder, then sync to get it on the laptop)
I was aware about the DynDNS, won't help my much live between to families, two households and the only thing fixed in my life is the tel number of my Phone and the fact I have a laptop, so no space for hardware that cant be baged in a minute.
So Looks like I need to get my own mymail.com address and some hosting that gives me IMAP.
With all that done still have not found a good E-mail client. (q-mail?)
What was the thread on that subject ???? <GRIN>
Email anytiMe is possible.
yes! Download email any day and anytime without gprs on is possible. Use npop freeware and set it to download email upon execution theN use powerstart Shareware to schedule it to exeCute npop at any day and what time as you like. it will Connect gprs then download then disconnect, perfect!
testdebug
Googled Powerstart and got to many hits, have a homepage were I read what the app does? Found npop.
testdebug,
Keep in mind the question was IMAP, not POP. Will it work on IMAP?
Thanks,
Tom
Hiya Guys
Has anyone used the email system called Emoze?
http://www.emoze.com
It claims to be a true push email system for Gmail, I am tempted to try it but am unsure whether it true push or whether it works lol.
I forget if Seven's beta works for GMail. I think it does. If so, I strongly recommend it over Emoze. Emoze wasn't so good IMO. It was unstable. I find the Seven beta software at least 10X better...
http://community.seven.com/forum/index.php?forum=true
Click on Download at the top of the page to get it. It is quite stable IMO and works great on my Kaiser (and 8525 before that).
I've been using emoze for pushing my Exchange email. It works very good and I did find it stable.
I have loaded the Manilla TF2D cab and the mail tab does not recognize my outlook mail. I had gmail in there, which it seemed to read fine, but even when I removed gmail it still is not reading my exchange account. I have read other people having this problem and it seems like everyone just responds, it does work.
Is there anything I should try to do, to get this to work, and obviously it is not just me, and it does not work on this phone for some reason.
Any help would be appreciated, the interface is really amazing on the phone, much smoother then I would have expected. Thank you for your work, and thanks for your help.
I am having a similar issue...i installed the Manilla TF2D onto my Omnia but the Mail defaults to my MMS account. I would like it to default to my Outlook (Exchange) account. Is there some way to do this through the registry? Does anyone know?
A few weeks ago, I bought the Aria for my wife (when it was on sale at AT&T for .01! Then picked myself up a Captivate about two weeks ago.
Having done much of the work getting thing ready for the Mrs, I've used the Aria quite a bit - much too small for me as an everyday phone, but a nice little phone.
The two things I really like about her Aria are the People widget (which I've accomplished on my Captivate with Launcher Pro Plus and it's people widget), and the HTC email client.
I have 2 gmail accounts, 1 SBC account, and my work email (IMAP) that I like to follow. I like the way the HTC email has it all set up. K-9 is "OK", but just feels klunky. I wasn't a big fan of the stock email client from Samsung.
Are there any email clients available that are as user friendly as the HTC client? Any chance of getting the HTC client onto the Captivate? Anything out there that will keep me from wishing I still had my iphone - no push mail, and all? I really liked my iPhone, but so far I like everything better on my Captivate - everything, that is, except the Email situation.
K-9 is workable if that's the best solution out there, but I"m hoping there are some other suggestions out there that I'm just missing!
+ 1 for K9
Touchdown is good for Exchange
For what it's worth.... I've settled on Seven mail for now.
If anyone is interested, their site is: community.seven.com
It's a beta product, but, at least for my needs, it's far and away the best android email client that I've been able to find.
As far as I'm concerned, K-9 is only a slightly better interface than the stock email client... neither of which really float my boat.
Seven has been solid for me.
Gmail and k9 mail
No decent email client for captivate that I know. I tried the galaxy tab client and it was awesome while it lasted, but only did for a day and stopped downloading emails. I heard some people in stock eclair have it running, but I'm not stock
I do not like the stock email client. I was unable to get html via exchange 2003. So for now I'm using Touchdown which is ok. It supports html and works with exchange.
+1
improved mail is very nice except for a flaw in which it is incredibly slow when batch deleting email.
i downloaded the sgs tools and then got the email app from galaxy tab
i personally think its awesome and u should try it out
Hi all fellow HTC One owners,
I absolutely LOVE my HTC One, however there is one thing i am really missing.
I have set up all my emails on the HTC Mail app, Yahoo, Live, etc .
However I am unable to add my Gmail account as an exchange account so that i can get push notifications for it. to my understanding thats down to google being an idiot and removin that feature.
Now, I wanted to know if there is a fix or workaround for that? or do we just have to use the Gmail app?
im sure many others would appreciate some clarification as well.
Thanks
Hi, I just made a quick test and it takes 10 seconds to recieve my gmail message sent from my Blackberry. So I think GMAIL works like a push mail. Do have any issues or lates to think you have problem with your mail ?
