Best Email App - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've google searched looking for a decent email recovery app. I have a yahoo account but the official app has been getting gradually worse. I've tried K9 and similar apps but they put all the junk and spam into my inbox whereas the Yahoo app automatically does it. I have played around with the settings on the apps but cannot see how to sort the spam/junk from my inbox stuff. That is essentially what I am looking for. Any help would be much appreciated.

Facebook account

For some reason my lte gnex will not let me add my Facebook account under the settings: accounts has anyone had this problem or know a solution?

That feature is not available in android any longer. They took it out in 2.3.3 b/c of a spat between google and facebook. Right now I believe you can only get it working with a custom rom or if you have a phone with a skin like sense or touchwiz it will work.
Facebook will show up under the accounts option as long as you have the facebook app installed. It does not sync with your contacts though.
For more on the syncing question go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393924
Try SyncMyPix from the market. works really nicely!
For what it is worth, extra support for this should come with 4.0.3, though who knows how on-board Facebook will be.
SyncMyPix is good. You could also check out Friendcaster.
Awesome thanks!

I will second Friendcaster. It will not pull everything like you want it to; however, it is pretty close. It also works better with more options than the official Facebook app.
I took my old phone and did an export of contacts, I emailed that to my new phone and got the large portion of them that just didn't seem to synch correctly.

[Q]Sync help required on cm7

Hi everyone,
I was using andriod 2.3.3 premium features on Wildfire S A510e handset. I was really happy seeing freinds photo with syncronised link in handset of gmail account and facebook account . Now after installing cm7, i am feeling very bad to see that I am unable to link with syn contacts of facebook or google accounts. Please help.
Search for GO Contacts EX in Market, it has similar
features like People app in Sense roms.
I also searched for similar app for cm7, that's the closest one I found.
wrong post, sorree
Also look up syncmypix. Gives you higher quality facebook pics and actually embeds them in your google contacts so you have them on the computer, and they look decent on call display etc...
It compliments Go Contacts Ex which I also use.

What is it about the sense email app?

Hi,
i read many times that people like sense, because of the great email app.
Although i like the look of it, i miss some very important feateres, that the somehow cluttered Gmail-app does give me.
Both the Gmail app and Outlook show me conversations. The sense app doesn´t. If i want to check what i ansered, i have to go to the sent folder and search for it.
If i haven´t answered yet, it´s going to be a long search, whether in Gmail or Outlook i can see right away that i haven´t answered yet.
Second thing is that i get Outlook attachments as winmail.dat. i know it´s an Outlook-Richtext issue, but the Gmail app can deal with it, most of the time.
Somehow i´m not a fan of the Gmail app. I find it cluttter.
So i wonder if i have missed something with the praised sense email app.
I also tried K9, but it doesn´t work with conversations either.
thx, nearly
Threaded view.
Ok, thanks. I got that ticked. And it works on some threads i just saw.
But most of my email conversations, that are threaded in the gmail app aren´t in the sense app.
I guess, there´s not much we can do about this...
thx, nearly
In mail, go into menu then folder and click on in box plus sent. That will show you your sent messages as well.

It does, thank you, but its not in a thread.

Set to always BCC yourself? That worked for me.
A bug I noticed is that the font size when viewing, composing and replying seems quite random. The font size in the settings only control the size in your editor box when composing emails, but not the content sizes when viewing them.
Changing the overall sense font size only affects the email listing interface but not the content view. I'm finding the font a little too big for my taste.
Just notice you must also set to sync your sent items under your account settings, not just the inbox.

Duplicate Sent Mail - GMail

Okay, I noticed something weird last night.
When I send an email from my HOX using HTC mail client IMAPped to GMail, two copies of the sent mail appear in GMail on my laptop.
This was confusing me because in threads it looked like I'd sent two copies of the same email.
I've tested it, and I am not sending two mails, but it looks like I am saving two copies of the emails in my GMail account.
I've had a look on Google to see how to fix this, and there is mention of unticking a 'Save Sent Email' option - but I can't find that on the HOX.
Has anyone also noted this 'feature', and has anyone been able to remove it?
TIA.
Unfortunately the HTC mail app doesn't play nice with Gmail. If you log into your Gmail account through a browser, you will notice three new labels. I think they are [IMAP]Sent, [IMAP]Trash and [IMAP]Drafts. Instead of saving sent messages in the normal sent folder, the HTC app saves them in the [IMAP]Sent folder. Gmail then saves another copy in its own Sent folder. I think the only way around this is to use the Gmail app.

Thanks Pats Fan!
I don't know if you found an answer, but I was able to fix it by going to the desktop Gmail settings, "Labels" tab > then check the "Show in IMAP" for Sent mail, Drafts & Trash. Then removed the unwanted Labels (IMAP/Trash, IMAP/Sent & IMAP/Draft).

Checking all email accounts in Combined View

I have 7 different email accounts for work and home etc etc...
Its getting really really annoying to have to go into each to check the mail from that account.
Is there anyway check ALL email accounts at once from Combined View?
Seems like a hell of a thing to overlook.
Just noticed i put this in the wrong forum, my fault...Mods please move to correct forum.
Thank you and my apologies .

You might want to look into K-9.
I'm getting annoyed too with checking multiple accounts

Been using k9 for a few days now. Like it. Its good. Kind of a shame that the stock email doesn't do it and we have to download another program for a simple thing like that. The program is a little choppy getting through all my mail, but I have tons of mail I haven't gone through yet.
Hopefully Google will change their mail app to include this feature at a later date.

Cool thing about k9 is that is actually built on top of the code for the stock email app. Improved if you will.

Just like how windows comes with WordPad for word processing but if you need anything more you buy office.
Stock email app works for most people. I have gmail and corp email and I like to keep them separated. My blackberry would combine emails and phone calls and messages and I hated it. I like keeping everything separate.
