Exchange Email Client

Thinking about getting the phone - but just have one question as this has been holding me back for a while now from getting an Android phone.
Could anyone confirm if folders and sub folders for TouchWiz email Exchange client are all on one level or have a tiered structure as per Outlook ie:
Folder 1
¦
------ Sub Folder 1
Thanks.

That woul be a very important information for me too!
Looking forward to detailed answers!
TIA

+1
Thanks!

I can't confirm the folder structure but can confirm that Activesync works.

Thanks!
Could you confirm some other things, too?
- bi-directional contacts sync
- bi-directional calendar sync
- bi-directional sync of recurring appointments
- html mails
- confirming appointments

Hmmm. Folder structure depends on the view you look at it in. It shows all my Exchange folders in a list in the main view (there's a quick dropdown to change folder) but in folder view, it shows in hierarchy.
Bi-directional contacts and calendar have been working since the original SGS and all synced to my phone fine. Not sure about recurring appointments but it syncs all of mine from Exchange to the phone fine. HTML mail works fine too (would be a bit ****ed up if it didn't!). Never tried confirming appointments so I can't say anything about that.

Thanks for the information. That's interesting because the default Android email client on 2.3.3 does not seem to include an option for folder viewing hierarchical folders...

I'm on my first full day so can report on this a bit now.
I'm trying out the stock client with an ES 2010 server. Some nice surprises:
- Full folder structure accessible
- Server search
- Task sync (!)
- Decent interface (don't love the dark background for the email list...)
- Syncs faster than my Atrix running Froyo
- Nice little widget icon showing unread emails
- it's got a crazy 2-pane inbox view w/preview when in landscape mode (think tablet view or desktop Outlook) - this is really cool!
- Out of office setting
On the downside, the email list widget sucks - it doesn't scroll and only shows 3 most recent (not even unread) emails so that's a bit of a disappointment. Also the calendar widgets are nice but they're too large and not resizable. Thankfully Calwidget works fine.
I'm going to try to live with it. I have a paid TD license and I had gotten used to their widgets on my Atrix, but I suspect stock is more battery friendly.

Thanks for the info. Would you mind posting some screenshots of the email client. I used Froyo, and I can't even do a search on my emails. I ended up using TD as well. Do we have search now? Is there pinch to zoom on emails? If not, can we resize font size? and How? sorry too many questions.
Thanks in advance.

I use sgs2 as my primary business phone., exchange 2010 support is the best ever, on windows mobile or android.

Here you go...I've been using it for a few days now and NO need to employ TD which is saying a lot for a native Exchange client! The only thing missing is Notes sync which I can live without (don't change notes that often and can just drag them into Evernote).
The client actually blows me away...to answer your question, we have search as you'll see in the screenshots, as well as pinch to zoom, font resizing in both the Inbox view as well as the message body. Let me know if you have any other q's.

I don't need to sync multiple exchange-accounts, but I have several calendars in one single exchange-account.
Is it possible to sync all calendars, that are present in my exchange-account, or can I only sync one?

No options there for the "calendar folders" so I don't think so. Then again, I don't have any sub-folders so I can't be 100% sure.

Actually I do not work with sub-folders in calendars, but I have several calendars in Outlook under the main-folder, that are synced to exchange.
Can you try to add a new calendar in outlook and see if you can sync that second calendar to the phone via exchange?

Hey Thanks a lot....
One more question. From the screenshot, I can see the search is "search server" and not local search.. is that true, because if so, then I need internet service to search and also it would be slower.
Thanks again

Hi can anyone check if attachments can be opened if they are received as part of a calendar invite? Say a pptx or something similar...

[Q] Exchange Email: No Search?

I noticed there is no search option in GN default corporate email app. Did they took out search or am I missing something? Very important feature IMO.

I bought touchdown a long time ago. It is so much more full featured than the built in exchange client it's not even a contest. It's paid for itself many times over.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

There's a search option in the stock email app. Spyglass at the bottom of the screen, above the back button. It seems to actually search bodies as well, which the Gingerbread version did not IIRC. (This may be dependent on the version of Exchange you're connected to, we are on 2007 which does allow for mobile search but the phone has to implement it correctly.)
I used to use Touchdown a long time ago (OG droid release), but through several phone switches and steady improvement of the Exchange client, I've been able to stop using it. It is ugly as sin and I don't like having my corporate contacts split from the rest of the phone, as I use Exchange for all of my contacts and ignore GMail contacts.
The GNex version of the client is actually really good and pretty full-featured at this point.

Touchdown is great and I have been using it on gingerbread phone (best app that can do html email on exchange 2003).
But the default email app on GN is great. I love how the emails look and GAL lookup work.
ZPrimed,
I do not see the spyglass button on my app. Maybe because I am using exchange 2003. We are upgrading to exch 2010 , so hopefully the spyglass button will be available in that version.

One feature touchdown has that I use regularly is the ability to do a server search since I don't sync nearly as much mail down as my server holds.

That's your problem.
The search is implemented by making a request to the Exchange server and asking it to perform the search (with its own full-text indexes of your mailbox). The server then spits results back to your phone. IIRC 2003 can't do this, or if it can, the option isn't enabled by default.
Exchange 2010 will allow you to do it.
IME, most phone e-mail apps that have a search and DON'T implement server-side search only allow you to look in the sender address and subject - you don't get full body searching, unless they are storing it all in a DB on the phone and indexing that separately (and even then, you only get 30 days worth of results or whatever you have it set to pull in your folders).

Touchdown Honeycomb version (Tablets) works on ICS
Existing Touchdown users. Dev modified it to work on ICS phones, MUST be using latest beta build until he finishes formal testing and releases to Android Market:
You can get that beta from here:
http://nitrodesk.com/tddownloads/nitroidbeta-honey.apk
Server Side search works great he also added a less pushy push implementation which is using less battery for me than the ICS mail app.

[Q] Alternative to Gmail app

Is there a good alternative to the Gmail app? I need support for threaded view, and must be able to view messages when offline.
I have my personal Gmail account synced to the Gmail app, but I also want to see my company email (which uses Gmail as a back end) in an app. Don't want to mix business with private emails though.
At the moment I access company mail through the browser interface which isn't optimal.
Thanks!

You can try K-9 mail app

Doesn't support threaded view.

U can use the default exchange mail app. Just setup as IMAP account.

Have tried a lot of different mail clients, but ended up using K9.
K9 do not have the most sexy GUI and I hate the icon even I know why devs keep on to it ... but honestly ... come on a head of a robot dog LOL
It have some smal bugs, but all together the best mail client I have tried until now.
I actually likes it so much that I contributed with a Danish translation.
BTW its open source and its possible to download latest version from http://code.google.com for free

Best mail client is Maildroid:

Better than K9 and does support threaded view.Just try it...

Thanks, have tried it and it's not bad. The threaded view is a bit cumbersome though, it groups messages correctly, but you need to exit each message to view the next instead of just scrolling down. Will keep it though.
Wish I could duplicate the Gmail app actually, or even better port the Mail app from iOS.

Why don you use default samsung email? It can be set as pop3 or imap. Can create multiple account on it.

Why don't you use Gmail?
If you have two Gmail accounts just add them both to your phone. Your mail won't mix, you'll just have to select the account you'll use in the upper left corner.
Or you can use the default Samsung app like anlimdy22 suggested.

K9 offers some features that I need, and most important ... editing in Gmail and Samsung mail is pain. I use Swype Keyboard and it behaves odd when I use Gmail and Samsung mail.

Honestly, couldn't get that to work - just forced closed time and time again, and when it did work it couldn't verify the settings (the very same ones that K-9, Maildroid and the Gmail app could). Better apps are usually available externally

You're right, I assumed that it would mix emails from both account but it actually works well. Can't say I think the system to switch between accounts is the smoothest possible, but usage-wise it's still the best experience I've found. Thanks.

Yes, K-9 is powerful and feature-rich but I just prefer the Gmail app. The threaded view alone is worth it. Each to their own though!

Turn off word suggestion in Swype, it will help you to edit mail in default email app.
On the subject, the stock GMail app is the worst client I've ever seen. No multi touch is a PITA. The stock email app is good, still not the very best out there. Tried almost all the clients, Maildroid and all, yet to find one which suits my need, K9 was good, maybe I've to try it again.
Its really unbelievable that the client in iOS I used 3 years back was way better than all of these in Android!!!

Actually, I'd say the iOS Mail app is still better - where better, for me, means easier to use. Swipe-to-delete alone makes it a winner.

Yes, that's correct. Simplicity of using is way beyond everything.
Anyway started using K9 again, nice, but I couldn't get the idea of getting 'Message Sent' confirmation/notification! I guess it was present before or am I missing something...!

EMail app that can sync calendar && contacts ?

Hello mates!
I am looking for an email client that is able to: work well with gmail and exchange, and that is able to sync gmail calendar && contacts as well as exchange calendar && contatcs
any ideas?
Thanks for your thoutghs
UPDATE:
I found (via 1mobile and/or blackmart) this free email client named EMoze, it does let you manage gmail && exchange along with calendars and contacts.
Personally, i dont like the look and feel much, but hell! its free and gets stuff done, so it easily gets 4 starts.
If you guys know any other client, i would like to know!

Realistically, I separate Exchange from everything else, as Exchange = Business stuff. I have used Touchdown for Exchange going way back with great success. but it only works with Exchange.
For anything else, I use K-9 Mail and for Gmail the Gmail app.
Yes they are not combined, but I really don't want them as I like to keep the different worlds different. You can use K-9 for gmail aco****s which I do, but for my primary device linked gmail account I just keep that in the gmail account.

Hey there @krelvinaz !
thanks for your thoughts, indeed K-9/[email protected] is way up there in some reviews i found online, ill see if i give touchdown a shot later on; thanks for posting mate! :highfive:

Have you tried Replicon for the same. If not I would like you to give it a try so as to know the difference and the purpose of the same in managing the tasks as well as syncing with the stuffs that you have mentioned. Give it a try, I am sure it will work out good enough for you.

Enhanced Email can do all your email. You can customize the colour for each account and create your own theme. I have been using for several years.

Which email app you use that'll work with Gmail, Exchange and Android Wear?

I use Gmail and GCalendar - Gmail works great in Moto360 (reply, delete, etc). GCalendar works great in Moto360.
I also use Exchange with Office 365 for work - I use Samsung email app, which work great in my Note 3, but I cannot see the contents of the email in the watch nor reply, delete, etc. Exchange calendar becomes part of Samsung Calendar, which also work with Google Calendar and shows up in Android Wear.
So which email app do you use that work for both of them?
I want the replacement app to:
1). Gmail: can star, move to folder, etc.
2). Exchange: can flag, move to folder, etc.
3). Both can view the contents of the email and act upon it (reply, delete)
4). Calendar on Google and Exchange work
Maybe it's a tall order, but trying to see if there is a solution out thre.

I have Outlook/Exchange for school as well as Gmail for personal use. Gmail works great and Outlook mostly works as well but I can't delete emails for that account from the watch. I'd definitely be interested in an app that could aggregate both accounts into one as long as I can delete messages from the watch itself.

I use Nine - Exchange ActiveSync. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3&hl=en
It's a paid app(15 day trial) and I feel it is worth it for the android wear support. It can Delete, Reply ,Flag , and mark as read. (Can't move) Being able to delete an email from my watch like I do with gmail has been great.

Calendar support is good for me. I also can accept and decline meeting requests. This is the first time I have use a 3rd party app for my work email account. I have always used the stock email on Samsung, HTC, and Nexus devices
This seems to do everything I need and has the android wear support. Also the Mailbox search from Nine email is great. It searched my mail on the server very fast.

I have my email set to sync every 15mins.
Dont do too much responding with my watch, as its mostly to glance at if its something i need to address. Right now its off the charger since 630am and its not 4:40pm with 70% battery left

Battery for phone.
I don't use the watch too much for interaction (reply, etc.), but I do want to read so I know which work email I can..ahem.. ignore or delete.

If your (AOSP) phone supports it you can download the default android mail client from here http://d-h.st/K8w and exchange2.apk from https://paranoidandroid.atlassian.net/secure/attachment/11513/Exchange2Google.apk. Google added it to the play store but only for AOSP phones.
If it's for a different phone you might have to remove the default Email2.apk and Exchange2.apk from your system folder and replace it with the ones above using root.
It took some work but I have full wear read/reply for my exchange account.

I strongly suggest Nine. It works extremely well with the watch

Hey all,
Thanks for the suggestion. I got Nine and this app is the bomb! Allow Application level security instead of Device and work great with Android Wear.

Hmm.. I dont believe I've run into that issue. I have 4 different accts setup (1 actually forwarding to the other cause its school email).
I have the pro, they give it to you for free if you share the app with like 5 people or something
maybe submitting a bug to them about it?

I've been told that this client wasn't updated for Lollipop. Are you or others on lollipop still using this solution, or have you all switched to Nine?

I'm using Nine. Most best email client for Android. It works on Moto 360 as well.
