Mail App

Is it me of does the mail app suck big time. a good 75% of the time is gets a connection error. So I have been stuck heaving my gmail account grab my verizon email. And I am not a fan of doing that because if I reply it comes from my gmail account that I never planned on using.

K-9 Mail is supposedly a lot better. You'll find it in the market.

thanks I will have to, anything has to be better than that ****ty one that came installed.

K9Mail is being integrated into the Android OS. I use it all the time and I can see why they would do that, the app beats the built in app easily.

yeah k9 is awesome, it lets you set up how many emails to retrieve and doesn't auto delete accounts, it also has exchange support ()for the most part) and lets you download attachments.
yeah i heard that it will be part of the next update (hopefully)

yeah I did that, and have it set to send from my verizon.net account. But that only works to send on the PC. the phone will only send from my gmail account.
And I have been using k-9 now for the last 12 hours and it is 10 times better then the built in app. Only issue is it will not delete the mail off the server. So I submitted that as a bug.

[Help] Which e-Mail App Do I Use?

On Cyanogen's ROM, there's 2 email apps. One called eMail and the other is Work Email. I want to sync my school email to the phone. So, I don't want it taking them off the server but just copying them. Anyway let me know which one I should be using, and maybe what's different about them?
I'd usually forward to my Gmail but my school filters out forwarded mail to Gmail.

You should use eMail for the task. Work Mail is to connect to exchange server.
My suggestion is K9 Mail. You can download from Market, and it has much more features than stock eMail app.

There is no free Mail app for Android I tried so far that I could say I like.
GMail app misses some important GMail functions, eMail app never ever shows me notifications even though I enabled them, Work eMail is exchange only with nearly no options and K9 has graphical, usability and speed issues.
Maybe I should try Touchdown Exchange for my University Mail (which uses exchange).
Are there any other Mail apps someone could recommend?

[Q] What email client are you all using?

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

Stock Android Email / Push not working

Is it me or does the stock android email app not receive pushed emails? My Gmail app receives them instantaneously, or almost. The stock android email app requires you to have a set syncing period. If any new mail is pushed, it will not see it until you manually sync or the sync period previously set comes around.
Is this behavior the way this app is intended to work or am I missing something?
Any insight would be much appreciated!

I set my email to every 5 minutes. it's a little drain on battery but its really nice
watch your data though, i recommend the 2GB plan if you set it to every 5

I have unlimited data... just wish I could figure out why a stock android email app can't take advantage of Push...
Thanks for your suggestion though!
Anyone else have any ideas?

I hate bumping my own threads but this is bugging the crap out of me...
Does everyone else experience this same type of sync issue as well?
Any input would be appreciated!

i have never had problems with stock android mail app when it comes to push. been using it on exchange 2003 backend for quite some time. its worked fine since 2.1

I use Maildroid. It will push most email (haven't tried Exchange accounts), even yahoo.

Thanks guys,
I am needing it to allow for push emails from my gmail accout. So far the stock email client is the only one I have found that allows me to use Grouped Contacts... I would think that gmail push to native email android email client would be a given but not so for me...

the GMail app pushes....

Yes and I use it in conjunction with the stock app. The Gmail app will not let me use grouped contacts though. I manage a sports team and I frequently have to send out emails with 35+ recipients and with gmail I have to enter each one separately.
Thanks for the input!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that makes sense. didnt realize it didnt allow that.

I have moved on to the GSII but still ran in to this problem. The fix was eventually found by someone else (bustabo) but here it is...
You have to set up your Gmail account using the exchange settings in account setup.
