Multiple Mail Accounts in HTC Mail Application ??

I have two mail accounts setup in HTC Mail i.e., Yahoo & Hotmail. They work fine, however, I was wondering, is it not possible to have all mail shown together in the HTC Application i.e., both yahoo and hotmail mails to appear in a single HTC Mail widget? Currently I have to launch mail application and then click more> accountlists > and then choose account.
Thanks

I think not, but maybe with some other widget?

Thanks. I ud certainly try Email.apk
Exciting files to download there. can you explain what each of them exactly do? (Any of them useful for Orange branded Desire?)
Thanks a lot.

email.apk is not just as easy to install as a.cab for WM right ?
I have File Manager at my Desire, what is best way to install the email.apk ?

Astro will be able to install it for you.

[Q] No decent Email client for EVO?

All I want is 1 email client with a combined inbox (like Blackberry). I've tried every option available. I use gmail for personal Exchange for work.
Sense client is terrible and can't do combined inbox or push with gmail.
CM6 Email.apk doesn't word wrap for some reason so everyone has to scroll right to read my emails (even shows like this in my own sent items).
K9 doesn't support ActiveSync Exchange (NO idea why not, it is otherwise perfect).
Touchdown looks like crap and only supports 1 Exchange account (no combined inbox) but it has a ton of functionality.
Droid X and Galaxy S native email.apk are pretty awesome (at least better than the Sense one) but no one has ported to EVO yet. I've tried getting the apks but they do not install, even when deodex'd. It's pretty crazy that HTC gave a Froyo update but didn't bring any of the stock Froyo functionality sense we are still stuck with Sense 2.0...

Have you tried flashing the Email.apk from those others instead of installing them?

hmmm. I will have to do some research to see how to "flash" an .apk. I guess it has to go into a zip file with a certain file structure.

Yeah exactly but if you use clockwork recovery you can flash a unsigned zip..When I was using another gallery i used the zip attached to flash it in clockwork. you could use that as a template.

How about GeeMail? I haven't tried it yet, but I see no reason it won't work.

I have the donate version of ROM manager so I flash between clockwork and RA often. I'll give this a shot.
I'll also look into GeeMail. I'm willing to try anything.

It looks like GeeMail is a desktop application for gmail. I don't see any android versions...?

I tried replacing the gallery.apk with the email.apk from the Galaxy S and flashing this with Clockwork. It does not seem to have worked but Clockwork didn't show any kind of error or tell why it didn't work so I was unable to see what happened.

It is an Adobe AIR application. You just have to install Adobe AIR on the Droid.

AIR isn't available for Android yet. I know there is a beta but I'm not sure GeeMail is a solution anyway as it seems to only work with gmail, not Exchange.
Perfect solution would be K9 adding ActiveSync Exchange support but I can't figure out from the google code page if or when this would happen.
A good runner up would be getting the Samsung Galaxy S/Captivate client ported over to the EVO. I have a few coworkers with the Captivate and the client is great.

Yes, AIR for the 'Droid is beta, but it is a Public beta and it is working rather well.

Any good clients besides maildroid and k9

I really miss my Moment email app. I snagged the apk off of the Moment, but when i try to install it I get "application not installed".
This app can do multiple inboxes and exchanges.

We really need a good solution for evo. I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about this. I guess not many people use gmail and exchange?
Swyped on my EVO

When I got my moment I just based off my email to my gmail.
Sent from my Evo, using the xda app

Something needs to be done for sure. I have two Exchange mail servers that I need to connect to. My moment did that flawlessly. My iPad can do it since I jailbroke it and ran a teeny tiny app.
I got the Evo ignorantly thinking that this was standard for Android email.
I really hope someone figures out how to put the Moment email app on the Evo.
If anyone needs the apk to do that I'll send it to ya.

i came across this recently. i have not yet tried it.

MailDroid v1.41 (beta)
By joelangley. Updated August 25, 2010

Have you tried emailing the k9-mail developer and asking them to include exchange support? I've found most developers I've emailed are happy to receive suggestions on their apps. Couldnt hurt.

Isn't Active Sync something that requires a license from MS? I assumed that was why K9 didn't have it included.

I definitely want to see a better mail solution. Using exchange and gmail I have to keep two icons on the desktop to be able to go to an inbox. this should just be unified.

CM6 alternative email client?

the htc mail client is made to function with a sense enabled rom w/ sense features. cm6 is not sense in anyway and usually any htc apps will result is a fc everytime you try to open it. try mail droid or something.

OK so what is the advantage of running CM6 over say vael or baked?

The latter 2 are still Sense Roms. Vael just strip all (most) of the Sense. There is no way now to get the HTC mail program to work with CM6(I know as I have tried multiple times). Your best bet is try K-9 mail (which is great). Or you need go back to a Sense Rom. All the Roms are Sense except CM6 and SuperEVO. Be aware that some of these Roms does not have the HTC mail program anymore, but since they are Sense Rom all you do is find the HTC mail.apk and install it.

Does k-9 work with exchange? I tried setting it up giving me errors.
Also is it still push email ?

I never tried it with exchange so I am not qualify to answer that. It doesn't do push email yet but neither does the android email or the htc mail. All of them are timed polling. The only one that does push email is the stock gmail app. I email myself and gmail is almost instant but of course it doesn't help if you have other email accounts. For me its the best option right now. Its free so can't hurt to try it out.

Just FYI, Both stock and htc mail will do push email on exchange.

K9 does Push email, if you're connected to an IMAP server that supports the IDLE extension.

Cyanogenmod/MIUI and Exchange email security issues...

Hi all,
I wanted to flash my phone with one of those two roms...but when I did so I realised that the AOSP email app would not be compatible with the security measures of my corporate email server.
Is it possible to have the HTC Sense email, but using one of those two amazing roms instead of an HTC ROM?
If possible, any step by step help would be well appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time guys.

You cant use HTC email, no.
What makes you think android client is no compliant?

Hi mate thanks for response. I get a message that my server requires security features that my phone doesn't support when I use the email app of miui or cyanogenmod. When I use HTC sense ROM with HTC email app the phone does support those security features..
I can use HTC mail with no probs with HTC ROM....cant use miui or cm mail app though....

Does it say what security features? Mine works with exchange+mobile iron and also BPOS.

Unfortunately that's all it says. It's basically a feature that asks you to insert another unlock password to your phone for safety, and if you insert the password wrong for like 10 times it remotely deletes the data on the device, or something like that.
I saw that other people would get the same error with these roms, but couldn't find a solution to the problem That's why I thought maybe by installing the HTC email app...though it will probably not work because of the different rom framework? Any ideas?

Like i said, you cannot use the HTC email app. If I knew more about your email system/server, maybe I could help... The basic android client, if added as exchange/BPOS and device admi has ability to wipe device, so not sure what system you are coming from as it should work.
Could try K9 mail on market? Or touchdown (pay)

Thanks again. Already tried and they dont work..only original sense mail

Then there is something dodgy about your email system. Speak to your Exchange administrator.

Several people have the same problem....but thanks anyway

So what? Several people also do not. I am an exchange administrator and I do not have any problem using the android email client. Like I said, speak to your exchange administrator to get it resolved. Thanks anyway

Unfort I dont have that option
Ill have to stick with the 2.3 sense ROM. The admin said to just use the ROM my phone ships with.
I believe it is some feature missing from the cm and miui anyway. Not a server issue.
If anyone has a solution to the problem please let me know.
Thanks again for your time.
Just found this:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20856-exchange-security-policies/
This is exactly the same problem. It's CM7/MIUI not supporting

I've used probably a dozen different ROMs at my current job w/out any problems from exchange. Up until last week, they only required SSL and to allow them to wipe the phone remotely. Last week the exchange admins enabled another security feature where we have to have a PIN set. CM7, MUIU, Synergy, etc. don't work. Only the OTA ROMs work! :crying: The email client is all I can tie it to since the other ROMs seem to use a different client where the domain is entered on a separate line than the userid.
I am pretty upset that I lost the speed and features of the other ROMs so I would appreciate it if someone could tell me a workaround of tell me of another ROM that uses the same mail client as the OTA ROMs.

Touchdown supports all mail policies and should work for you. This includes the PIN and remote wipe policies.

Touchdown isn't free. There should be a native workaround for this. I have had no problems with CM based roms until MIUI.

Hotmail Activesync on stock Desire (2.2.2)

Hi,
I'm currently setting up my old Desire (stock running 2.2.2) for my father, who uses a hotmail account. He has got lots of folders/filters, so I think it would be a big job to migrate it all to a Gmail account.
I've read a number of posts about there being a bug in the HTC mail.apk that prevents active sync from working. The solution in most of the posts I've found was to install a newer version of the default mail app. However, most of these posts are quite old and the links no longer work.
Does anyone have activesync working on a stock Desire running Froyo, and have the mail.apk (or current link to it) that I need to get activesync working? Alternatively, has anyone gotten K9 mail working for hotmail (using activesync, not pop3)?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I do think the stock email.apk app (and possibly exchange.apk) from AOSP for 2.2 did work on the htc desire - but I ended up using Enhanced Email from the play store instead and stuck with it.
I heard another very similar bug with the htc sensation ICS mail.apk app recently so I am still glad I stuck with Enhanced Email personally - hotmail eas been working ever since they released it!
sorry if it doesnt help much with your issue

Thanks. I've managed to find the 2.2 ASOP mail.apk eventually. It is actually working as well. Unfortunately it is somewhat limited in that it doesn't notify you about new mail in different folders.
Thanks!

Consider Enhanced email anyway then... There's a trial in the forum too
