I have an iPhone 4,Blackberry Bold 9900 and a new Samsung Note. On the iPhone 4 my Bloomberg news articles download about 3-5 times faster than they do on the Samsung Note and on the Bold 9900 they download about 2-3 times faster. The Yahoo and MAC emails are pretty much instantly there on the iPhone 4 and on the Bold 9900 while on the Samsung Note they seem to take forever to download What's up with that On the Google Finance application the refresh and downloads is almost instant and for the Gmail emails they are much quicker downloading than the Yahoo and MAC emails

Is there a better email client for this thing? Especially one that can display html email?
I'm a BIG fan of k-9 mail. It's got html and push email. Plus it supports multiple accounts.
k-9 mail app
where do i get it from and is it free
Its in the market and its free. I like it but I'm still looking for something better. K-9 is nice for the fact it keeps about 20 emails loaded that you can read even when wifi is off. I'm about to try out the galaxy tab email app that was ported to gtablet.
The email client from the Galaxy tab is pretty sweet.

+1. I still use it.
Have you tried the Mail'd App from Notion Ink Adam?
GoJimi ported several of the apps from the Adam ... Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928832
I've loaded it and it looks cool, but I've never quite figured out how to get K9/Maild to configure for my exchange server properly.
Put me down for another +1 on the Galaxy Tab client. I liked K-9 pretty well, the only thing it was missing that I really was looking for (being a spoiled iPhone owner) was threaded emails. K-9 doesn't do it, and every indication in their community is that they'll get to it "some day, but it's not a priority." Galaxy Tab client does that, plus unified inbox, which together makes me a happy man.
I use Mail'd, the Notion Ink mail client. Best use of tablet screen real estate I've seen in an Android email client.
I got my Note just a few days ago and I am getting to know it but I'm having a really stupid and annoying email problem.
I have an iPad and a Note and the same gMail account configured on both. When I get an email in the gmail account, the iPad gets it first EVERY time. If I test the email by sending it from my PC, the iPad will get the email in a few seconds. The Note always takes longer. Sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes 20 minutes and occasionally, never at all!!
I've tried both the gMail app (which I hate) and the stock Samsung app (gmail setup as exchange) individually and both together and sometimes one will get email first and the other will get it 10 mins later!
I've also configured my wife's iPhone 4s to get the same emails and that too gets the emails exactly the same time as the iPad.
What on earth's going on?
I had a Galaxy S before the Note and that would get email at exactly the same time as the iPad, every single time.
Auto sync is on, email is on push for both email apps. Both devices are using the same gmail account.
Can anyone please help, I've completely factory reset my Note twice and the problem's still here.

Try this:
Set it up as an Exchange account like this:
enter user name and password
do manual set up
select Exchange
leave domain blank and /your user name as is
leave password as is
change server to m.google.com: 443
select push
Syncs just like any other Exchange account. Should receive everything at the same time.
Thanks. I tried this and it didn't seem to make any difference but I tried something else that seems to have done the trick.
I was previously syncing email, contacts and cals via the gmail account and not using the exchange account. I unchecked ALL the sync items on the 'normal' gmail account ie no contacts, no mail and no cals but checked contacts on the exchange account. Just to recap:
gmail account --> no sync for any items
exchange account ---> sync mail, contacts etc
selecting anything else to sync using exchange seems to have done the trick. It now seems to sync and for the moment, it's getting the email within a few seconds of the iOS devices. Few seconds later later though
Now onwards to tackle the sucky battery life...
On my old nexus S I am able to setup up multiple exchange accounts native.
I do an internship in 2 company 2 days in a week and also work in another company 3days in a week and I'm also planning to get office 365 for business for my private company (might sound complicated but it's workable). Doing the maths I need to be able to setup 3 exchange accounts wich works perfectly on my old nexus. (in fact need to set up 4 but I can live without the 4th one).
The important part is mail for 3 of them and callendar for 2 accounts (and if possible see google callendar + exchange callendars in 1 view based on colors) all my contact are on gmail since they overlap and gmail makes it easy.
I was setting up my phone on the htc website "https://start.htcsense.com" but at the end when I reached setting up accounts I'm only able to setup 1 exchange account is this on the device the same or not. Already preordered my htc one so would love to know if I have to cancel my order or not before it arives

It is possible to set up multiple exchange accounts using the HTC email application on the HTC one.
The application in itself is graphically beautiful and a pleasure to use.....however it is functionally lacklustre. Managing folders is a nightmare, the colour of each account cannot be edited etc etc
Do yourself a favour, buy Enhnanced Email from the market and use that.
I also use a pay application for calendar (Business calendar).
Alternatively...wait until an AOSP rom is released...and you will have the same identical software experience you had with the nexus device.
thx for answer if I atleast can set up multiple accounts then thats good
I will look into those aps once I have my one

It is a shame that HTC did not refine their email app. Because it looks fantastic and is really smooth.
BUT
You cannot hide/unhide folders. Visualising emails is a pain as it defaults back to the "all messages" option...and thus if you have multiple accounts....and receive over 100 emails a day...it looks like a mess.
Enhanced email does not look pretty and the Dev has not been too active as of late...but it is functionally faultless in handling multiple accounts and calendars.
Touchdown from nirodesk would be perfect...except...they do not support syncing multiple account simultaneously.
K9 no native exchange support (WebDav does not work on Exchange 2010 servers)
Moxier Email has native exchange support but, imho, is just an inferior version of Enhanced email.
I will certainly look into enhanched email
I liked my old setup with native exchange mail client on my nexus since it looked like the gmail client (with much less features but still worked) and it worked perfectly with google calendar
but I'm willing to give sense a try even if I have to buy some new apps
Recent convert from iPhone (used iPhone 4s, iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 (month). I am loving the Note 4. Having used iOS for a long time, I am used to the iPhone email client, where you can have 5-6 accounts (yahoo mail, gmail, outlook) and it lists the account in the left pane and right pane is for reading respective email.
I have tried searching for similar client in Play store (downloaded quite a few and tried) but couldn't fine one that is closer to iOS email client. The stock email client on Note 4 has combined view (hate it) OR I have to select account from the dropdown box and click on inbox to refresh and read the mails.
Any pointers where I can have a clean/easy interface to have 6 accounts set up and read (very similar to iOS 8 email client).
Thanks!!
Gmail update should allow multiple accounts from other providers
The new GMail (5.0) app allows for multiple exchange accounts.
You can either wait for it to be rolled out to you, or download it from here like I did (and have had no problems at all) - http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/11/03/google-officially-introduces-gmail-5-0-can-get-apk-download/
Check Out Profimail Go. Does that in landscape and so much more
I thought that's what the Mail app is for? There should be GMail app and Mail app in the app folder by default, and the Mail app can be used to set up multiple POP and SMTP emails I believe.
Try cloudmagic

I highly recommend trying MailWise. A beautifully looking client that doesn't have any server side shenanigans like CloudMagic.

Blue Mail seems like a good one as well - never tried it myself though.

Do you refer to the "unified inbox" function list all your email in one inbox? Try bluemail. I am using it now to manage 5 email accounts.
THIS. MailWise it is. Very clean interface. Tried 10-12 email clients that have been mentioned in this post and some but MailWise suits my taste. Very clean and probably better than the iOS client.
Thank You!!

Using the stock email app with your note is the best way to go.
It's feature rich with the spen and more.
Why even buy a note if you're not going to take advantage of it.
Bluemail is fantastic. It may even be better than the iOS mail app and I love the way it works on tablets.
One of the reasons I recently went with the 6+ was that I feel the software is superior to Android, but Bluemail has now got me thinking about switching back.
Now if they could just fix the QHD scaling in Chrome...
Hey guys, So I notice my Note 4 receives email/ hangout/ google voice message quite slow. Compared to my laptop, the email, hangouts + google voice text always come about 15s - 1 min later. They're not instant like on the laptop unless the email/ text happen to arrive right when google starts the sync. Note that I use the gmail app so they are push. Quite disappointed since this was the issue on my S3 two years ago, too. I thought phone has improved these push service.
Also on the other note, the problem is not my network connection since I used to use the iphone 6 plus and its push text/ email is instant, even faster than my laptop. (I used the same gmail, hangouts apps on iOS)
Is there any way to improve this? THanks!
