Yahoo Messenger for Andoid

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

looking for an exchange mail app

Hi,
I have already tested few mail app ( the stock one, the message 1.0.0024 coming from HTC I think and touchdown)
I am looking for a free app which would be able to :
* retrieve mail from an exchange server, Touchdown and message are good . The stock app give me error message half of the time.
* set an automatic synchronisation on the inbox and on a selected lists of subfolder. Touchdown is ggod for that
* handle the inbox tree in a non totally stupid way ( stock app is ordering by name !!! and I can't figure out the order from message 1.0.0024 ... maybe by date of creation or depending on the age of the captain). Touchdown is good for that
* display correctly the html mail with array ( only touchdown does it even if it doesn't allow to reply to nice html mail .... it will put the mail in attachment !!)
* be quick. Touchdown is extremely slow. Maybe it has to do with the lag of the SGSbut it's definitely slower than the 2 other app ( but better looking)
* nice to have : handle also different mail account like hotmail
For the moment, Touchdown is the best choice but I can use everyday a mail app which can take 20 sec to open a mail and an other 20 to delete it.
Any other idea ?
Thanks

try k-9 mail

Thanks for your post ... it makes me try one more time to setup K9 with exchange
And it seems to work.
At least I have some mail and part of my folder.
will check out their wiki to see how to configure the folder. It seems quite complicated but quite flexible.
For information I had a wrong webdav patch before

Ok so I sepnt at least an hour on the wiki and I can;t find why I can't see any subfolder !
I can see the inbox, the sent item, the contact, the calendar, the spam ... but no subfolder onf the inbox
Any idea ??
Thanks

i just read a bunch of reviews on it but no real "how-to", I'm buying my Samsung Vibrant tomorrow and I plan to get this app so I'll play around with it and see if I can get it setup right

Isnt K9 taking too much space and that too on the internal mem. needs an sd storage properties for mails/data.
Is there an app which does so.

Hi!
I would recommend Improved Email by mtwebster, I do believe it will be to your satisfaction, works with all kind of email, with it you could also accept/decline meeting invites from exchange, been using it for some time now and I'm very happy with it.
All other email apps I tried had problem with at least on of the account types; pop3, imap, gmail or exchange but not this one.

I am testing as well... i want to access company mails mainly (ok, contacts and calendar would be great too, but it's not essential) and three imap accounts. What i have tried so far:
- stock: works, but forces me to enter a security code (triggered from exchange server admin). Besides that, the stock app doesn't have any settings to change preferences on imap servers (folder location, etc.), therefore a no-go.
- k-9: i am using k-9 mail for all my imap accounts, works like a charm, i can point to the correct folders (for sent mails, spam, etc.), but i can't get exchange to work, although i tried various options from their wiki.
- touchdown: i tried this app as well, works very well. As i am using exchange 2007, it shows only new and unread mail, no old mail. Besides that and the fact that it seems to be rather slow (and expensive for this poor performance), it would be my first choice.
Any other suggestions (or hints, how to get k-9 exchange work or touchdown faster) would be really appreciated.
All the best,
ww
P.S. i9000 froyo jpo.

I am using moxier mail. A bit expensive bit does the job. I mainly bought it to have access to my company GAL. It syncs mails, calendar, contacts and tasks but not notes.

Is Moxier mail synching contacts with pictures or without? I think, i will give it a try although there is no demo version... but i have 24 hours to test it
Greetings,
ww
P.S. maybe i will give the modified stock email.app a try... seems that one xda user has removed the security addons... more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007

It syncs with pictures.

I tried improved email. It's pretty good except that the email I sent via it is in 1 long line when viewed in the outlook client.

I don't know what you are doing but the stock email app has none of the problems you describe with outlook.
- I have never had an error downloading a message. I use Push for delivery. (other options have battery drain issues), so you don't have to "schedule" a sync since it is always in sync
- Messages are sorted in recieved order for me
- Images in HTML emails I have no issue with
In short - I think the stock email app works perfect with outlook, in fact it is better than the Microsoft Outlook mobile I used to have in WM 6.5.

For my country, no version is available - beta versions seem to be very buggy. I am testing moxier right now - looks quite nice for the first hours...
Okay, it is just for exchange, but it is working fast and almost without any errors - for all other mail accounts i am still using k-9.
Allt the best,

You forgot the new security settings (which means, if your exchange admin turns on the "use a pin to secure your phone" feature). After i tried the stock mail app of froyo, i had to turn pin code on screen lock on. Besides that, the system never managed to sync more than 100 contacts - therefore the stock app personally is a no-go.
All the best,

Dunno why but for some reasons, the stock email app will FC when opening certain emails, especially those with alot of frames.

On my side I use touchdown (and old version that i "found" ;-) on the net) because I need to have access to the GAL.
Had no issue with it except that it is slow.
If the stock mail app would have supported GAL i would not really had looked other mail app.
Doing so, if a free app would support GAL i would switch!

[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.

[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.
