I come to Android from an Iphone and one thing that was really good was its email app; it worked!!.
However android is a bit diffrent. All the email clients i have tried are rubbish. They lag or cant do push emails. Why is android so rubbish with emails?
Can anyone recomend an email client that works?
Hi, I'm ising K-9 mail and is working great.

Its been over 2 months I cannot login to yhaoo mail using android mobile stock browser, I have tried firefox/opera/ dolphin hd browser they all have the same problem with yahoo mail.
The URL it goes to is http://mlogin.yahoo.com, I have tried changing the browser agent from android to desktop but that too does not help, where as i can longin from my desktop computer without any issues.
Rest all of other email services are working on mobile like hotmail/gmail/rediffmail etc.
I can only check yahoo mail with the yahoo app & I dont like it at all to use separate app for checking mail. I want dolphin hd my main browser for all the things.
Anyone else having such problem?
Any help regarding this problem, are you guys having no such problem with yahoo login?
I use the app because yahoo is so picky otherwise

Why don't you try application from yahoo for accessing the yahoo mail. I have configured my gmail to auto retrieve the yahoo mails. So I don't have to enter yahoo, its right thee in gmail inbox. Its my secondary mail id.

bcoz i hate those apps, each one for each email a/c I rather use dolphin hd browser for every thing (i dont want push mail feature) another reason is that I need to enlarge the font while reading & these email apps dont let you do it.
Dolphin hd works so smooth for almost everything but for some reason it seems yahoo is blocking me to login using the mobile browser.
i also having this problem..im using archos right now..does anyone manage to solve this?
Skyfire worked for me, when one of my friend wanted to check her yahoo mail last time. Try it if you want.

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!

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.

Push works perfectly!

Anyone found an APP that will work with Hotmail with a Captivate? Stock, tablet and even K-9 don't support it. There must be a decent one out there! Thanks!

I just forward my live account to my gmail.

Stock email app works like a charm with hotmail. I got 2 accounts configured under it and my local provider email also. Never had issues getting hotmail.
If you want to fully managed your hotmail (delete mails on server) then your right default email app on the cappy cannot do it but it can fetch the mail.
EDIT: Tried delete on the server option and it works. Fluke bug probably.
Do a Google search on "Hotmail activesync android" and you should be on your way use stock email to do push Hotmail. server deletion is supported last time I checked.

Correct .. last time i tried it failed miserably.. maybe just a bug or a bad connection.
Haven't tried it personally, but I do use Maildroid for gmail,Yahoo, and my ISP email. All set to push, even free Yahoo.
I used the exchange server for hotmail on my Captivate, worked fine with the stock email. Set it up as exchange, using m.hotmail.com as the server. Your username is your full email address. I don't have a Captivate anymore so I don't know if you need anything else (like port numbers). Google should give you the rest.
Also, if you set it up as exchange you can choose to sync your contacts and calendar with hotmail.

I'm surprised that this hasn't been mentioned very much, but exchange for the stock i9000 app is horrendous. It used to be unusable in eclair and froyo. Now it's actually works but finds it impossible to handle pictures within emails. When I open any kind of email with pictures (not attachments), it seems unable to scroll. The CM7 email app simply doesn't load the pictures.
Does anyone know of a fix for this? Also does the problem persist in the SII or SIII?
NB there are some ported ones in the themes and apps page, none for gingerbread though.
My experience with the stock email client hasn't been good either. Hotmail for example, gets added as an exchange account and it does not sync properly. No luck with K9 either. The slow and buggy hotmail app works ok though.

I use the port for the HTC wildfire S and when I set the hotmail account to exchange access it doesn't load any attachments. When I use the pop3 access it works... strange..
Hi all im running stock and lovin the native e-mail app but I noticed that you do not have the ability to flag/star an e-mail in your yahoo inbox.
Can some one confirm this as well I could swear at one point I did have that ability.
Thanks
