[Q] Email App or lack of on N6? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So um does the N6 have an email app other than GMail? I'm confused because I see a mail app but when I try to run it, it tells me GMail now handles my other Email too.
I would rather have a separate Email app for my work email. Is there a way to actually use the Email app like we did on Kit-Kat?

The gmail app replaces the stock email app. It handles any email account and does it very well.
If you really want to keep them separate download something like K9 mail from the play store.

I like having the two different email apps so I can spot a work email from a personal one easy. Two different looking notification icons etc.
Don't want K9, just wanted the standard Email app I was used to using. Bummer!
OK thanks.

If your looking for a good email app I personally recommend Nine from 9folders. It integrates with your Google Calendar for a seamless experiencing.

Isn't there an AOSP email app in Lollipop?

Apparently not. Google wants you to use the GMail app to handle email/exchange now.
That said someone compiled an AOSP Email app from Google's code and it's in the "Themes and Apps" section.
Runs great!

My exchange constantly force closes. Not sure why.

You can still download google email guys from the playstore . . haven't tried it though to see if it would work. Liking the unified gmail personally.

How does one set up Microsoft exchange accounts on the gmail app?

..and can anyone explain the difference between Inbox by Gmail and the 'regular' Gmail? Which one do you favor?

Just like you would with the ASOP email app. I had no problems getting mine set up and running.

Agreed, Nine is by far the best Exchange mail client that I have used on Android thus far, and I've used many...

I find Inbox a complete worthless bastardisation of an email client. Maybe I'm just set in my ways from 30years of normal email clients.
Put it this way, Inbox is to email what Google+ is to web forums. IMHO

My Sprint nexus 6 came with email installed. I have it disabled but it was pre-installed as a system app.

Absolutely hate being forced to use the Gmail app for this now.
I've always used the "Email" app for my work email and the "GMail" app for my person and junk accounts. I miss emails now because I don't have those two separate alerts. I have like 7 GMail accounts on my phone.
I tried K9 but do not like it.
I was able to get the "Email" app one of the devs compiled installed but the push notification is broken and he said he has no interest in fixing it.
Sigh...

Well, there are tons of other options available in the play store, so don't give up!

Just to echo, Nine is by far the best exchange enabled client I have used.

[Q] Calendar Application Replacement

Has anyone found a replacement App that will sync directly with your Google calendar account. I am currently runnining stock with the enhancement update. As you know the stock calendar will not sync with a Google calendar.
It seems that the calendar apps in the marked only enhance an existing active calendar.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

the stock calendar app does sync with google calendars...you must be logged in to your google account within the gTablet's google framework services (i.e., gmail, etc.)
Stock calendar syncs with my google account as well.

I have a stock tablet wit the performance pack installed (v2 I believe). My stock calendar does not sync with my Google account. I think the performance pack is missing some component that does the sync. This component may be in TnT Lite.

That is the same as what I have (v2) and it does not sync. If I had this working my tablet would be just about perfect. I was hoping to find something like K-9 mail only for the calendar.
If someone could explain how to make this sync with the stock & enhancement pack, please chime in.
Thanks!!
can't sync either
I have tnt enhancement v3.1.4b and can not sync with Google calendar either. It would make this tablet almost perfect. I also have an amazon mp3 issue signing in issue that I can't resolve, but that maybe another thread.

Once I find and install the calendar.apk file is there anything special that I need to do for this to work? The stock calendar app asks for a URL or ics file.

It does not appear so. Of course I may be doing something wrong. I went and found the "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk" and tried to install, it came back with a fail to install error.
Now what, perhaps drop the file in the correct folder (which is where) and reboot?
I find it hard to believe that most users don't want a fucntioning (with google) calendar on their Gtab with this issue being resolved.
Thanks!

if you have root, you can move the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk to your tablet's system\app
or
you can drop GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk into the enhancement update and reinstall the update
there are instructions everywhere
I highly recommend pure grid Calender widget. I run it both on my grab and my g2. If I add an event on the g2 when I run the grab it updates and adds said event. Its can be skinned and is just very handy. Check it out.

Is there a trial version? When I search the Market only a paid version shows up. Does it need an active calendar (on your GTab), or will it go out to Google and sync from there. I still have not been able to get a functioning calendar on my GTab.

use clockworkmod to install GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk (only) so that you can sync the stock calendar app with your google calendar (you must have gapps installed from another source; e.g., enhancement pack):

It will sync with Google in its own. I'm running vegan 5.1 and never touched the stock Calender. Just installed pure grid and set it up. It will ask what Calender you want to sync with and my Google one was there from setting up the market. I say buy and try. If you don't like I believe you will be able to get a refund if uninstalled within a certin period. You wont be disappointed.
EDIT: You can also sync mutiple calenders with pure grid. I have two google and also facebook events syncing with it.

[Q] POP3 mail sync problem

have you set up pop3 mail on the galaxy note? do you have problems?
I set it up to sync every one hour, but it seems to me it is never sync (except when I manually sync it). it hasn't sync itself for over a week. What's your experience? is there any other setting that can affect this behaviour?

The fun part is my GMAIL app on this device does not refresh until i do it manually. I have done all the settings that need to keep it as alive as a PUSH mail ...
I am not that keen on replying my GMAIL as it arrives, so NBD ..
let me know if you do find a solution...
looks like the Sync and notification system on the GNote is not very well implemented,waiting to see how things turn out in the promised ICS,meanwhile just get the official Microsoft email app from the Market called:Hotmail Seven+, this app will push the emails as they arrive.
And forget about the POP3 its nothing like the Iphone.
Set your gmail with email application
Here you have to go like this
add user id n pw of gmail
Now select manual setup
Select Microsoft active sync
Keep id n pw as it is
On swrver part there will b gmail.com, that you have replaced with m.google.com
Now next screen you can set push service n other setting as per you wish.
Hope it will real push mow.

Pop mail doesnt work
I have been reading these posts and I have a similar problem. I can get e-mail on my Nexus s (running 2.3.4). I have many post from different websites, followed their advice and I STILL CANT GET my pop mail to work. I have several accounts, one critical as I volunteer w/ search and rescue. I don't think I should have to convert to strictly G mail accounts, & shouldn't have to forward my mail to G mail either.I love this phone, looking forward to the system update, but this is so frustrating I almost want to ping this thing off the wall! Anybody had similar issues and actually managed to fix it?

I guess easy option is to use 3Rd party email app too configure your pop emails.
Use k9 or anything like that. There are lots of free apps in the play store for that

Ok, heres the update. My mail IS now working (after a fashion). I get a notification that I have mail. I can click on the mail in notifications, read it & reply. I can also, open my contacts list, select a contact & send mail no problem. The one issue I am having now is that if I get mail, it DOESN'T show up in my in box. My sent mail box shows the mail I have sent, but I only seem to be able to open my mail under the notifications tab. And even then, occasionally when I click on that mail, it just disappears. I have only had this Nexus S for a couple of weeks and so I imagine this is just growing pains for someone w/ their first smart phone. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

[Q] [HELP] "Phantom" mails in Mail application

Hi,
I am using corporate mail on Mail application, POP account SSL security,
Also, I have same setup for Microsoft Outlook on laptop,
Sometime, I am re-receiving old mails, which I deleted on phone and mail server, but not in Outlook.
Any ideas why this is heppening?
I noticed that this "pantom" mails I receive after I use Outlook.
It is not big problem, but sometime it is annoing.
Also, when I flash my Note with new ROM and set-up mail account, I am receiving dosens of mails, which are currently deleted from server, is it possible that those mails recovered from Titanium backup? (I am doing "restore data" for some applications after I flash new ROM, including Mail APK, but still I need to manually configure mail account, because Titanium is not restoring mail setting)
first is sync setting in outlook vs phone. check those.
I dont get the phantom part.
anyways in titanium you can restore email separate from accounts which is why you have to set it up manually
why not set it to push and have it synched via your email instead of restoring it? that way you prevent certain scenarios
Next time when you backup your app with titanium backup make sure that in preference there is a option backup external data is on/selected

I do not have synced Outlook with phone, because in Outlook I have almost all received and sent mail (outlook file size is around 1gb) and in phone I keep most important ones
Under "phantom" I mean mails, which should not be there, because they where deleted on my phone and on mailserver too, and sometime I am receiving mail notofications without sender, or theme details, like this one:

cool,
sync I mean outlook to mailserver (update one way/twoway, keep/delete on both etc), the same for phone to server. Those kind of settings. Its strange on server the messages look like they remain deleted there.
phantoms are weird, buggers, havent seen it myself thought.
I guess with menu button, or in settings from your mail app you can put sorting newest on top perhaps.

I checked, setup is according parameters, which is standard for most mail application,
mailbox type both phone and Outlook is POP3, just one difference (defined by me) from phone when I delete mail, it doesn't deletes on server, but from Outlook it does,
Also, recently I noticed, that my Gmail account is not syncing correctly: if receive mail on Phone and read, archive or delete them, still when I open gmail from browser those mails are shown as unread

We get that a lot. Creating and maintaining high performance search index of all your emails involves renting out always-on secure cloud servers. In order to pay our server bills and keep the service ad-free we have to pass a small fraction of our costs to the customers.
Besides that, we have modelled the free tier keeping 90% of users in mind. You need not have to think about paying until you have your 4th email account. Isn't that generous?

I guess it makes more sense if you use different services and then use this to unify them. I use hotmail
I have my own personal email from my domains etc but I only add hotmail to my phones.
Subfolder Notifications
Will there ever be an option to enable push notifications for other subfolders? I'm using this for exchange and have been searching for a good looking email client. None have push notifications on subfolders. If you offer that, I'd easily pay 50$ a year. No (good) email clients have this functionality on android.:good:

[Q] Can't Select Google Calendars to Show

I am using the Stock calendar app, which incidentally is quite nice, and I can see my Google Calendar and my Exchange ActiveSync calendar.
However I have a few other linked calendars for my Google account and the mail app does not show these. Using the Google Calendar there is an option for "Calendars to Display" and, under that, "Calendars to Sync". If I tick the linked Google calendars under that then they will show up in the Stock App and I can check/uncheck them to my heart's desire.
So, without installing Google calendar, how do I do this using the stock app?
P.S. Anyone else notice the more you type calendar the less it appears to make sense..
Hmm - on my calendar there are three small horizontal bars at the top left that, when tapped, cause a menu to slide in from the left. Scrolling down the menu reveals a list of checkable calendars.
I'm assuming the calendar list itself is created by the calendar app by iterating through the list of added accounts in the device's general "settings" app.
That is the case for me as well, although the list doesn't show my linked calendars until I select them using the Google calendar app.
I can't see where to select them using the stock app at all..
OK I think I'm seeing what you're saying.
Maybe just login to Google from Chrome app and display calendar there. At the lower right of the main calendar page is a settings button that lets you set up linked calendars. This could be used without installing the Google calendar app.
If I'm still not addressing your problem then I'm lost as to what you are trying to do.
---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------
Experimenting a bit more with Google calendar page in the Chrome app makes me think the only way to use it to add or manage subscribed calendars is to force it to Desktop mode.
Sorted now :- I cleared Calendar storage and now all my linked calendars are showing up, should have done that in the first place I guess.
Thanks for the help anyway.
Here is a screenshot of my Sony calendar's selection list showing checkable boxes for inclusion/exclusion in calendar display.

If you're just asking how to get more calendars in this list without using Google's app or system at all, I think you have to add an account with an associated calendar in the phone's settings app.
If you're asking how to subscribe to calendars to link them for display with Google services without resorting to Google's calendar app, the answer is to use Chrome app or any browser app (or a separate device like a pc) to login to Google and manage linked/subscribed calendars.
If you're saying you fully understand the above but are not seeing the right list of calendars in the Sony app (or you *are* seeing them but are unable to check or uncheck them) then you may have a software issue with the calendar app.

Definitely the latter, still having strange issues with the calendar (it seems a bit buggy) but nothing that I can't work through.....

OK I hope you get the problem fixed. Maybe someone else will jump in later with a suggestion. I don't really use linked calendars in Google services, so it may just be that I'm not seeing a bug you may be affected by. Good luck.

One last thing - here's a link to another forum discussion about several people having sync issues on a Z1 with Sony's app:

Yeah, mine didn’t only showed Google calendar.
I did what you seemed to have done, and cleared the Calendar storage. When I went back to the application, now it would only have a Default account/Device calendar option. So I went ahead and installed Google Calendar application, linked the necessary calendars, uninstalled it, and now the stock Calendar applications has them all.
I hate these integration issues. Blegh.
Thanks for the information!

Sorted now :- I cleared Calendar storage and now all my linked calendars are showing up, should have done that in the first place I guess.
Thanks for the help anyway.
