Google had recently pushed the Smart Compose feature to its GSuite account holders. Then they said smart compose will be available for only Pixel 3 devices, but now they have pushed the feature to many devices including our own Zenfone 5Z as well!!!

i just bought my captivate. Right off the bat, I notice that I can't set up more than two Exchange / Activesync accounts.
Is this because Samsung crippled Android, or is this flavor of Android just limited to only a maximum of two Exchange / Activesync accounts?
Do you know if Froyo out of the box supports more than two Exchange accounts or is this another Samsung crippled feature.
I don't really understand the benefits of rooting the phone.... Except I hate the Samsung UI and would like to rip it out if i could.... I will definitely rip it out if this is limiting me to only two Exchange Accounts.
I set my 6 gmail accounts and home exchange and corporate exchange as Activesync as opposed to Gmail and two exchange, and i want a unified inbox...
Is there a changelog or feature list of the different flavors of Android?
Folks, can anybody with a N4 do an email functionality review on the N4 (and perhaps comparing it to iOS mail client)?
I use a 4S for my corporate (and personal) email, and like most would know, the Mail application on iOS has its own sets of ways to get things done. Some simple things like group select, select all, mail attachments on either new mail or replying are not allowed by the stock application (just allows images which is useless for corporate email). I also use active sync and generally it works very well for push. I also have the need to search my email from old archives (mails which are 2 or 3 years old). I am not happy with the iOS mail client, but it just about does the job.
I haven't tried the Android space and there is no way I can try this without buying a phone. From reading reviews, looks like K9 may be the client which supports my needs (We really need a mutt like MUA for hand helds!)
Would appreciate any pointers around this.
Imagine gmail app .its basically the same. I have NHS e-mail (hospital) that uses secure exchange to use it I would have to encrypt my phone for security reasons. However, the email functionality is the same as in gmail from what I remember
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
The stock one is fine these days - I highly recommend Aquamail though.
There's also Touchdown which is optimised for exchange.. Not used that one (our company moved to google apps).
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
Hi all,
I know this is not for everyone, but really bugging me.... I am using Note 9 for work - key is syncing with company MS Exchange account (Office 365) - INCLUDING Tasks, which we use in our team. This was working beautifully in Oreo - the task widget was showing correctly my active work tasks.
PIE update broke this - in several ways:
Tasks widget removed
New Reminder app and widget are device or Samsung-cloud only - do not understand MS Exchange Tasks and hence only fit for personal use.
Samsung calendar app and widget still pull Exchange Tasks, BUT mistreat them as just appointments by another name - i.e. they won't be shown unless they have a due date, and if so, only on THAT date (as an appointment), instead of showing them whenever ACTIVE (until checked off) and flagging them overdue when past due date.
Samsung support apologized but seems uninterested in a fix, despite Note 9 being a 'professional' (and expensive) work device.
Kludgy work-arounds possible, but largely unsatisfactory - including using MS's own ToDo app, which is overkill for just tasks, does not work with our Office 365 set-up, and its widget doesn't go dark on the Note. I'm not using the MS Outlook app either - built-in mail and calendar work just fine and I don't need another 'Blinders-white' app.
Am I the only one bugged by this? If not, any suggestions?
Not sure if you all have seen this before, but the scenario I noticed today when adding my live.com account to my tab s8+ was:
1) I have a galaxy 22 ultra, and my outlook.com account is sync'd to it for samsung email/contacts etc (not through the Outlook app). I've had that account for years on my previous galaxy phones, and no issues ever.
2) On my tab s8+, I added my outlook.com account to the same samsung email/contacts with activesync (and auto-sync is turned on).
3) As a result, on all of my contacts on my outlook.com account, every single one is now a member of a samsung contacts group called "Galaxy Tab S8+ (Contacts)".
Looks like the tab is autocreating that group for some reason (I am guessing to preserve some sort of sync integrity if the same account is sync'd on multiple devices?). I've tried trashing the group from both my phone and the tab(and chose the option to NOT delete the members but only just delete the group), and within a few seconds, the group gets recreated and that property is reapplied to all of the contacts. If I remove the outlook.com account from my tablet (leaving it set up only for my s22 ultra), then the group does not get recreated.
Have any of you seen this happen or found any setting in sync properties etc to disable this autocreating of this group? It seems unnecessary, though I could be thinking to simplistically and it's actually required in the background from some reason. I didn't think it would be, as I have other accounts (Office 365, Google) on both the tab s8 and s22 ultra, and no such groups get autocreated. Wondering if it may be an outlook.com connector thing, but hopefully there's a way to stop this. Thank you in advance for any guidance or suggestions. It would be wonderful to be able to bring down my contacts to my tab without having this annoying group label now show up everywhere across all of my devices.
I can't speak to this specifically, but I will say that for my phone, when I "briefly" went from the Pixel 1 to the Galaxy Note 10+ for a year and a half, Samsung managed to mangle my contacts. Now I have duplicates of many of my contacts that in some way aren't recognized as duplicates by Google. I only have Samsung for the Tab S8 Ultra any more. The hardware's great, I just wish they wouldn't enforce their services which duplicate already existing Google services.
I apologize that I don't have any helpful advice.
