Yahoo Messenger for Andoid - Desire General

Finally!
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.im
I only use yahoo so this is perfect for me, I've been waiting for this app for months! Amazing

There is also yahoo mail, but how to use stop the mail app from synchronizing? I don't want it to check the servers all the time... and give me notifications.

I've never been a fan of yahoo mail.. email ends @ gmail imo.
The messenger app works great tho, well happy with that. I'm sure there'll be bug fixes to come, but for now I've not had any problems.
zonkkk you could email yahoo and ask them, I'm sure the devs would be interested since this is yahoos first major Android implimentation

Facebook Integration

Hey all,
I watched all the videos/read all the reviews, and I couldn't find my answer.
We know that the "What's new" feed in both People and Pictures aggregates facebook stuff, but what about Facebook Inbox? What about notifications?
Could some one enligthen me?
Thanks!
Id say therell be a Facebook app for that
I like the inbox idea. That would be useful. But the rumour was that FB was developing 'Project Titan' a mail app to become more email like, so perhaps integration would come when FB updates this.
As an aside, I know MS has a 5% stake in FB, but too much integration might be too much if another Social Network becomes popular quickly (akin to FB killing My Space).
Somehow I don't see that happening, Facebook is here to stay,Myspace was too late to change the game when FB came along. FB is now akin to Google in the sense its here to stay or at least imo.
or maybe FB will be integrate directly in WM7...

??? It is integrated into WP7 however not all of the Facebook features fit into the WP7 model. For those things, you'll have to jump into a facebook app. Maybe they'll be able to integrate with the various hubs (namely people) so that you could, for example, hit a button to send a FB message to someone and it would open the facebook app directly to do that?

Actually, I can see the FB inbox happening (has another tile with, kinda like Gmail, Outlook and WL Mail). As for notifications, they could drop from the top, like for Messaging...
What about Facebook friends requests ? I don't know how it would fit into WP7 model, i guess the FB app will be needed at some point
To have all the options of FB you'd have to use app anyway..
That's why I hate all those default integrations.

[Q] Slow email client on Galaxy S

Email download is a pain ... is there any way I can speed this up? Used to be blazing fast on the WinMobile Omnia, how can it be that with Galaxy I have to wait for minutes? Thank you.
Take care,
BB
Same issue here...
You could use Gmail. It´s very fast, at least it feels much faster (downloading attachments and even open mails) than the pop/imap mail client of the SGS.
gmail seems slow. i hit refresh and it wont show me the new mail for almost a minute, even on a fast wifi connection. dunno whats up with that.
install the one click lag fix discussed in the rom development thread. or search market place for the "lagfix".
all slow issues in email resolved.
if ur having slow email after that... well i have no idea? my hotmail exchange works fine and quite speedy... except for the fact the default email app doesnt render html
I'm using this K9-mail app. Pretty fast.
Profi Mail from LCG is coming soon to Android.

wow.. thanks.. used it and true... blazing fast.. just deleted the default mail of SGS lolz
K9 beats any email clients ever made for android and it's free!
I installed k-9 mail. How to stop the stock gmail and email client of SGS and make k-9 as default email client ?
And does it support hotmail and yahoo ?

Just delete all the accounts in the default email client.
And in gmail, settings-> e-mailnotification. Unmark it.
the fastest one is "Samsung Push Email & IM"
then comes Gmail from Google Apps
K9 is good, but it's slow compared to both of the above
Combination of "One click lad fix" and "k9" will all email issue.

k9 is too much slow. Need better client. Any suggestion please??

[Q] Threaded messaging in the stock email (non-gmail) app

Question for Galaxy Nexus/ICS users: does the stock email (not the gmail app) app FINALLY have threaded messaging?
I think most Android users can agree that while the Gmail app is great, the stock email app is pretty laughable. Since my company doesn't use google apps, I'm stuck with exchange, and the lack of threaded messaging makes it nearly unusable.
So, is there hope? Is threaded messaging finally in there?
No, but it's fairly usable apart from that... much better than the Gingerbread app.
Gah that sucks. Thanks for the answer!
Given that Gmail basically popularized threaded messaging, one has to wonder what the issue is... even iOS' mail app finally got threaded messaging!
I hate threaded messaging, tried but just can't get used to it. Fine for texts, but for proper email?

You may be in the minority then. I haven't found anyone prefering non-threaded email if they have ever used Gmail. I guess it depends in your usage pattern.

While I love threaded gmail... I do find that it is weird when going back and forth between 2 gmail users. Sometimes the emails come in all weird, like they reply to an old email. I'm referring to the qouted text below the main body.
I've also had problems locating information when they're hidden like that. Sometimes people reply to an email, just to take about something else... makes it hard to keep organized when its all mixed up.
I get hundreds of emails a day... keep them separate please.
My online exchange 2011 does this. Painful.

Going to nitpick a bit...
Threaded email has been popular for a ways before Gmail (I remember it existing and being used by many in the Eudora days), BUT gmail did popularize conversations (which I believe is different from threaded emails). Personally I hate conversations in gmail (have them disabled), threaded email in Thunderbird et al I can use, but would rather not.
As for Exchange, depending on what Exchange server your work is using, you might be able to use K9 Mail:
https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/wiki/K9MailAndExchange
"K-9 uses WebDAV to communicate with Exchange. As of Exchange 2010, WebDAV is no longer supported. For this reason, K-9 is unable to work with Exchange 2010 at this time. It will be a major effort to correct this issue."
that's why it's important for anyone who buys any phone to previously check the features they really need.
i use exchange mail a lot and the best "default" client for mails comes from HTC, therefore i got the Sensation. AOSP mail (GB) sucks, Samsung's a bit better but not as good as HTC.

GMail app - Fit to screen?

Is there any way to make HTML emails in the GMail app fit to the screen so that I'm not scrolling all over the place trying to read them? It seems the iPhone email client handled HTML messages much better unless I'm missing something. It's very frustrating!
I have the same complaint. The Gmail iPhone app had the same problem, but like you said it was a non-issue in the iPhones official mail app.
Hopefully the Gmail app will see this fixed/implemented soon!
I'm shocked that there's no way to do this. Coming from the iPhone everyone said GMail was MUUUUUCH better on Android but without this basic feature it's not even close. GMail on android is cumbersome and I can't even read half my emails bc it's a mess all ver the screen and I don't want to be scrolling all over the place! Really disappointed.
And maildroid fix your problem

what email application are you using?

For years I've used Gmail as my primary email app. And lately it seems worse than ever. Emails seem shower then normal, it will notify me even when the emails are syncing (annoying), and then takes a long time send. And now since their latest update, I have 2 apps for Gmail in my tray. What email app do others use I'm curious.
BlueMail. It's free, and basically perfect.
I use gmail, works flawlessly

Do you have any issues such as a duplicate icon?
This question is as old as Android..
I think I have been on all of them, free and paid. There isn't one that has no issues. All of them has great features. Some of them have better security, and the bottom line is, they are all not bad.
Now days, surprisingly, I'm back to the Samsung built in email app. Even my Gmail is on it ..

, no just one
I think Nine is the best (check Play). It's not free but there's a trial you can test. Very flexible, great features, and fast. I have no connection to the dev (s) - just a happy user.

Samsung email on the device is tolerable. I have messed with Newton and Spark as well. They all have their +/-, but I miss inbox.

I use gmail.
No issues here. Works fine.
Stock and Outlook for company mail.
The best one is AquaMail

Tons of options. Amazing app.
BlueMail is the best Gmail replacement will never go back
I went from MailDroid (pro) over to Outlook. I loved maildroid, but the UI is/was very overdue for an update. Outlook has been a great replacement, and it integrates well with my PCs.
I'm using Spike email. It's very different. You can have the email format appear as a text thread. Also, I really love the oled black theme. Before this, I used Spark. And before that I enjoyed Bluemail.
I use Bluemail.
I have about 7 different email addresses and some are not Gmail accounts.
Bluemail has an export accounts option so when I switch devices I don't have to re enter all the addresses on the new phone.
Aquamail for me too

I agree, although at the present I am using default email app, I agree that nine mail is perhaps the best with lots of personalisation and works well with exchange mail, what is an important feature for me

This! Nine is by far the best and most flexible email app out there. Same here btw, just a happy user ?
I'm using Fairmail, it comes with very good privacy roles and features and has cool features.
I tried Spark when it came out bit went back to Gmail. Then saw Spark made some updates and went back to it and I don't think I will use another app again. Now that it has dark mode and you can create folders. It is the closest thing to Inbox (RIP).
