I've always used K9 mail because the 2.x stock Gmail app wasn't that good, but I'm really liking the ICS Gmail app. Only problem is push mail doesn't work. I tried the stock Email app too and that's not working either. I would hate to have to use K9 with a great stock app, but I really want push mail to work. Any suggestions?
I did a brief search and didn't come up with anything useful so sorry if I missed a known fix for this.

It works perfectly fine for me! I must be lucky cause I couldn't be happier with this phone. everythings works 100%.
I found sync turned off. Double check accounts and sync.

Sync is on for both of my Google accounts and still no push mail. I flashed the Android Revolution Hd ROM but I don't think that would have anything to do with it.

I use both Gmail and corporate exchange on email. Both push fine.
LTE Google Galaxy Nexus! - Stock
Asus Transformer - OC/UV
I've been using gmail perfectly fine for over 2 years now. Push has always worked for me. From an OG Droid, to Nexus S, to Galaxy Nexus.
Working great for me; I can hear my computer ding when I get a new email at virtually the same time my phone does, so I am satisfied that push mail is working.
Weird part is that I've never had an issue getting push mail through K9. It works on and off with the stock Gmail app.

Well good chance it is, since push mail works perfectly on stock. I have 2 Gmail and 1 regular email account set up in the Accounts section and all of them work perfectly.
Probably is the ROM. I don't really need push mail until I'm back in school anyways so I'm not gonna worry about it too much.

hi, i have the same issue, i also use ARHD 6.5.0.
did you restore a back up of an old system after flashing the ROM ??

Riiiiiiight, so you flashed a custom ROM on your phone and so it must be Google's fault that push email isn't working for you, when it is working for everyone who is running stock ICS? Yeah of course

K9 uses IMAP_IDLE for 'push email', whereas the Gmail app (from what I had read back when I first got an Android in 2009) uses it's own method for push email. It may even use C2DM. This may explain why you are not having trouble with K9, but are having trouble with the proper Gmail app.
It does seem to be the custom ROM you have flashed.

Same problem here...anyone solved it yet?
gmail actually has push? The only time I get new mail is when I tell gmail to check for it or if I have sync turned on and it does its frequency check.
The gmail APP uses push.

So how come the only time I've ever received emails is when I've manually checked or when sync kicks in? On froyo, ginerbread, and now ICS.

hey guys,
Apparently, since all of us stock Telus Desire owners are on 2.1, there is a problem with HTC Mail connecting to Hotmail through exchange (m.hotmail.com). Not sure if Telus is planning on fixing this when 2.2 is out (if ever, tabernac).. But what have some of you guys done to get this to work in the interm?
Some people were able to switch to Android mail which apprently works.. How do you get that exactly? I'm new to Android and still finding my way around..
Other people have tried third party software like K-9 and what not, apparently they work too.
Any feedback would be great!
anyone? this is really stressing me out..
I have my gmail account pick up my hotmail emails and use the gmail app (which uses IMAP).
otherwise, is there a problem with using the mail app and pop3 rather than exchange?
I would tell you exactly how I set it up, but I lost the friggen thing a week ago. New one on its way *thanks insurance*
with pop3, u wont be able to see the other folders or synch your emails to your mobile (ie, if u delete an email on mobile, it wont in your inbox..)
Use gmail its pretty good but sometimes 3rd party apps are good too.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It doesnt really help when someone says they want to use hotmail then the solution you're proposing is to use gmail.. :\
I'm not telling use gmail, I said it was good but if you really wanna use Hotmail just get a 3rd party app.

Download the yahoo app. Also go into settings>applications>manage applications>all scroll down to gmail, click it and hit clear data. Hopefully that will clear out anything bad in the data and restart the app.
I wentin there and it read a lot of 0's and the only option it would let me pick was uninstall last update so I tried that so we will c lol
I'm using a blacked out version (older) of Gmail and have had no problems to date- used with many Roms, 3 different modems. If you still have issues, be rid of whatever version you have and start skimming the app forum...good luck!

Could someone please give an idea of what the email client on the GN can do? I'm on the SGS2 at the moment and, while not perfect, the built in email client allows to search the server and control the sync via schedules.
Is the Email on the Galaxy Nexus just like the AOSP 2.3 version, are there any enhancements, does it have issues with wake locks?
TIA
I use it to connect to my exchange server at work. It seems the same as the 2.3 app except it has a white instead of black theme. I haven't noticed any other differences. And yes you can set the check frequency to your liking.

Thanks. Can it search emails that have NOT been synced to your device? And can you tell it to push Mo - Fr 07:00 - 23:00 and do manual pull the rest of the time?

Nope.
If I needed those features, i would use Touchdown.

Yes, I have bought touchdown but sadly it supports push on ONE account only which is unacceptable to me. I need to receive push emails from several businesses and would prefer not to forward them into a single mailbox....
I have the glide and have not been able to succefully receive ANY IMAP emails. I just recently switched from Sprint to AT&T, I have the 4gig data plan with teithering. My email account is with Go Daddy. I use these same excact settings on my laptop and on my old Epic phone. Both worked flawlessly. Now that I've switch I cannot get it to work on my glide. I tried removing and reinstalling the accounts. I've tried on the wife's phone as well. I can send out emails fine, but none will pull down. Here are the Go Daddy server settings.
Incoming: imap.secureserver.net port 993
Ougoing: smtpout.secureserver.net port 465
Using built in email client on Droid 2.3.5 non-rooted
I use these same setting on my desktop with Outlook and on my old Samsung Epic using WiFi with no problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks!
I don't have the glide but when i was setting up my corporate account for my job I has to change the security setting in the email client and the port it used. Might want to try the settings in there and see if that helps.

K9 pulled my msgs right down super quick. I don't really care for the GUI, but it will have to work for now. I also called Samsung and they could care less that this is a bug with the Cap Glide. And wants me to try pop3. I hate pop3 and shouldn't have to use it, just be cause they have a bug in there software.
Anyways, thank for your help, K9 will do for now!

I liked the stock email app on the galaxy S2, I figured that once I got my s3 that email would be similar, but it's not, it is much much worse. Is there any way to install the old mail app from the S2 on the S3?
I have tried the alternative email programs from the play store and I just don't like them.
Please help!
Thanks a million.
Enhanced Email...
I may not be correct, but.... I believe the GS2 used an email program built by Seven.
You may look and find an apk for Seven email+IM that should be similar. I personally cannot find a download link for it.
If you go their website, they do have a BETA Android program. http://community.seven.com/download.php Again, not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but may be worth a shot.
Edit: It appears they abandoned Android in the last year or something and the only client they currently are shown as making is the one for Hotmail's Android client. Sorry.

K-9 Mail is IMO a good email client. I don't know if it's one of the alternatives you tried and didn't like.
It's larger that Enhanced Email, but cheaper... (free)...
I'm new or I'd post a link to the Play store.
(I have no affiliation with K-9 Mail whatsoever.)

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've tried all the free email apps on the play store and none of them really did it for me. Finally tried enhanced email too and that is a step in the right direction, hopefully I don't have any troubles from it.
p.s. I have the Gmail app, but I need to access my work email somehow.
Try touchdown by nitrodesk. It's one of the best

What about the AOSP Google email? I think it looks great and works very well.
yea if you need to check an exchange acct at work I usually go between nitrodesk touchdown and moxier mail. One of those should be perfect for you I prefer touchdown really.

the rom NoAOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759245
uses the email client from google nexus; a user there said it was the only email client they've used on the S3 that allowed them to connect to their work email.
perhaps download that rom, open the zip with 7zip and pull out the email.apk and put it on your phone.
try to install it normally, if not you may have to copy it to system/app with root explorer (reboot afterwards)
might be worth a look

In the SGS2 email you could make it inverted and control font size from the app.
I pushed the old app every way i could. No joy. May try a flashable zip, but I can't see that making much difference... I guess it would have to be ported.
