Hi Everyone,
There has been a lot of discussion about the best way to use email on a smartphone like the Tytn. Does everyone use the IMAP protocal for best results?
Personally, I get A LOT of mail for work and I would love to find a way to get the mail I want but not have to deal with junk mail and other emails that are automated on our side workwise.
Any suggestions?

Hey walshieau, Thanks for getting back to me. My email is a simple pop3 account.

if the email server supports IMAP then use it....
Or to get full functionality, rent an exchange server mailbox from someone like 4smartphone (for about US$50 per annum) and get push email etc.
IMAP generates a lot more traffic than POP3. Just fetching a single
mailheader (send/receive when there is 1 new mail) yields over 10 kB more
traffic in IMAP. As my one subscription is limited to 10 MB/month, thus
using POP3 makes much more sense (speed could also be an argument,
altought even in GPRS it doesn't differ that much). Conseqently, I have
different entries for the same mailbox (currently: 3 IMAP, 1 POP3).... but
this also has to do with my question:
How do you guys work with different outgoing mailservers?
I have duplicated my mail account 4 times: once for each outgoing
mailserver I want to use. I then just make sure I have selected the
correct mailbox prior to starting a new message. But this hardly is an
elegant solution (I have to fetch mails for all of the accounts to keep
them up to date). As the different mailservers have no log in, I cannot
use them when not accessing via that particular provider. I have been
looking at some mechanism to hack the hosts file, but the tool
"pockethosts" isn't very well suited for this purpose (and haven't found
anything else).

email
Hi, I'm currently using 3 email addresses on my phone plus the sync with my pc.(and home pc)
All I've come up with so far is to set all email pop/imap to only download headers, (and 2 of them only set for the last 3 days only),then I need to "select" manually what email I want to read and download them, the rest I leave for outlook to look after on my PC.
At the end of the day I finish up with a lot of "unread" emails on my phone, BUT once sync'd with pc they are all copied across anyway, just in my "outlook" folders, not my phone email accounts, if all that makes sense.
Any replies of forwards on my phone from any email includes my signature "email" that I prefer to use.
ie seperate work, personal etc
cheers

Server side filtering may be the answer for you.

gmail
I went to Gmail. Now it front-ends 4 different POP3 accounts, and with the spam protection it has it saves me from deleting a lot of crap. Only downside is that although I can read all my email on my Hermes, I can't really manage my Gmail account the way I want from the native mail client on the Hermes. No worries, I can always use the Mobile Gmail java app or go through IE to the mobile Gmail website. It's working for me...ymmv.
Hi,
I have a quick question, I am using the stock email app & I setup Imap. For some reason when I send, reply, etc, my emails always come out with low importance/priority.
Any ideas how to make the Epic emails regular priority by some default setting?
Thanks,
Rich
Is it possible to enable HTML when sending and replying to emails within the stock email client? I tried searching through settings but just don't see it. It seems like the stock setting is plain text. Any suggestions without using 3rd party apps? Thanks in advance
Anyone?
10char
I guess this means no one has a solution?
I don't see why they wouldn't allow an option to send HTML or Rich Text emails? I hate responding to work emails in only plain text, changes the whole email chain to plain...
Do you guys do anything else to get around this issue?
I am using the stock e-mail with exchange server. However, since I have server based filters that divert emails to specific folders, I am getting only the emails that arrive to my Inbox and not the other e-mails? Any solution to that problem before replacing the stock with something else (Moxier or touchdown)? Thanks
Tried searching but could not find anything useful.
I've set up my POP3 email many times on all of my HTC phones. Today i got myself the Note 2 and did my usual email set up but am having issues trying to send emails out. It just keep failing. Anybody else came across this issue?
What other email app would you recommend similar to the stock email app? K9 email is way too complicated for me
Im new to android but after reading people suggest me to use maildroid from the google store and works very well for me
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Thanks. Really wish the damn default email client works Am using AquaMail. Seems ok so far.
Hey Buddy,
It probably isn't your email client, more than likely your settings. If your network is o2, go into your settings and change your SMTP settings to smtp.o2.co.uk and port 25. This should enable you to send email whilst on 3G at least. Ideally you can just add your network's smtp setting and have that as well as your email provider's too.

Thanks for your reply but it's weird that i can get go email, aqua mail and a couple more other email clients to work but not the stock mail. I've had a string of HTC phones and never had settings issues until now. I've tried port 25, 26 and 587. Tried with different security settings like SSL and stuff but still no go.
I'm guessing i'm the only one facing this problem
