for browsers, you can try Loccy's BetterBrowser, Opera Mini, or Steel

Do you use/like GMail? Cos you could always put your POP3 info into GMail and read it from your GMail app.

I am basically looking for something that I can select multiple emails to delete and can create new folders easily.

Gmail uses labels /filters.
It takes a few minutes to understand but once you do it obliterates antiquated folder usage.
Id highly suggest sync your email via Gmail. You can have it send mail that looks as if it originates from your original mail account.
I wasnt crazy about it but now most emails come in are automatically labeled and filed without any work from my end.
New emails that need filing can be done easily. Deleting just as easy as anything else.
Plus Gmail has instant notification. No need to set up push or hourly checks.

Looks like the next CM update will be adding Luccys BetterBrowser enhancements. So I will use Steel until then....thanks.
I tried the gmail thing before. Looks like i will be giving it another go. Just sux that there isnt a good email app available.

[Q] Exchange Mail App

Hi friends
My workplace requires me to sync with their mail exchange server to get all my e-mail & calendars pushed. I've set it all up great on stock but my issue is when I am sent a new meeting request, I have no ability to accept or reject it on the phone. Any ideas on how I can resolve this? I'd prefer to stay on stock until I make sure my phone works fine before venturing into a custom ROM. I am not aware of there being any really good 2.2 ROMs specifically for the Captivate but when I am ready, I just want 2.2 on a simple ROM similar to stock without the bloatware. Any help is greatly appreciated.

no need to use a custom rom to make your mail usable.
i use an app called touchdown on my phone. it is the most complete mail client i have found so far. only downside is that it costs $20. well worth it if you need nearly COMPLETE functionality out of your mail client
i hear good things about k-9 but i couldnt get it to connect to my exchange server so i gave up on it and went with touchdown

I am using the stock app and i am able to accept or reject invites in the email app. They have a calendar icon and i scroll down and hit accept. An email reply pops up and i hit send.

alphadog some reason it doesn't allow me to..just shows a blank e-mail. Can you also create meeting requests and send them to colleagues?

this wasnt working for me when i first got my phone. i just tried it again and it works now....an update or something i did? i dont know, its weird, because just after i got my phone, i was testing it out with some guys at work....
i still find touchdown to be better when it comes to actually reading the emails. full html email support is nice and looks more professional. the stock email client looks like a hack job when it breaks lines mid-word.

I can accept meetings on my phone, but when I go to my calendar and try to create new meetings and add participants, it does not send the invites... Any ideas?

Search in email app?

I use exchange as my primary email app and there doesn't appear to be any search functionality even the email client looks a hell of a lot like outlook in honeycomb. Am I just missing the search feature or is there a better exhange client available?

For whatever reason, Google has never put a search function in their stock email app. You'll have to use touchdown or your company's web mail portal for searching.

How bizarre... a search company not having search in their email app. Very weird.

earch in email
We need this feature my galaxy s has search in email.
Anyone know of a place to report missing features to google?

Try K9 mail. The search on it is decent.

Use touchdown, the new one in the Market is designed for honeycomb and looks just like the Google mail app. Has full search even server search.

Anyone know of a good Email app?

I'm looking for an email app that can handle multiple email accounts. Originally I was using both GMail and Outlook but as soon as GMail started adding ads that could not be deleted I dropped both apps and switched back to Aqua Mail. Now I'm having a problem with Aqua Mail and can't get a resolution from the official forums.
I've since switched to Blue Mail but it seems to be a heavy app and is draining my battery. Plus, I don't get any type of notification when I get emails even though I have it setup to do so.
So, what is everyone using and what can you suggest?

I use K9

I used to use K9 as well, but there was something really goofy about their UI I didn't like. I'll give them a go again.
OK, I tried it again, now I remember why I didn't like it. I use Hotmail/Outlook and I can receive emails but can't send them.

I use Aquamail

I've been using Aquamail for years. But about 3 days ago it stopped working. I asked about it on their forums and got no answer. This isn't the first time I've had problems with Aquamail; I've tried to stay loyal to it since I paid for it. But I'm just sick of it working, then not working for no apparent reason.
I just installed K9 this morning. Seems to be working well enough for now. I haven't had time to sit down and mess with some of it's features yet.

Mail Droid
I have been using Maildroid for some time and highly recommend it. It is highly customizable and easily supports multiple accounts. The developer quickly responds to problems and there is decent web support.

I use [email protected], don't know why I never went to K9. Works well with multiple accounts and PGP integration. Couldn't ask for anything more.

+1 for Maildroid

What's wrong with the stock one? Mine checks an exchange account and 2 imap accounts just fine.

Use Thunderbird by Mozilla

I honestly don't like it's features. It also bothers my eyes. Weird I know but eh...

I remember using MailDroid years ago when it first came out. Haven't given it a second look before today. It looks like it's got a lot of really nice features. I'm downloading it now.

Stock email client is very good. Just don't use it for gmail. It will kill your battery from my experience.
Works fine for all my other accounts (exchange, yahoo, etc).

myMail works great....

+1 for AquaMail. That's the only email app I can find according to my needs. Another decent one is infamous K9. GMail is the worst email app I have ever used, I uninstall it practically after flashing a new ROM / wiping the phone.

I use stock for hotmail and gmail only issue I have for the exchange hotmail is you can't empty the trash in one click.

I had been using Aquamail for the past several years. Except about a week ago Gmail stopped syncing to it and I couldn't get it working. I also got not answer on the Aquamail forums. Decided it was time to move on.

The only reason I stopped using Gmail is because of their new ad feature. They send you ads that are disguised as emails and then don't allow you to delete them. Once I dropped Gmail I dropped Exchange as well and went back to Aquamail. Aquamail stopped working three months after I put it on my phone. So it got dropped too. I tried Droidmail, didn't like some of it's features. I'm currently using K9.

I use Inomail. Handles multiple accounts as well as allows html signatures. IMAP, POP, and all the others.

Mailbox
I use Mailbox. Only for Gmail/iCloud tho. Good for keeping the emails in the right place and the inbox clean.

Did you try "SPARROW" Email app ?

Have you tried K-9 Mail:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9
It's open source, and works every bit as well as AOSP Email did.

Has anybody got K9 mail to work with AOL? I can't get it to connect.

This doesn't work?

I forgot about asking here. Sorry. Yes, it was the settings. I didn't dig far enough the first few times I installed K9. The other mail programs I was checking out set the servers where I had to do it manually with K9. So far I'm liking it.
