Whats the better app: Email or Gmail - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

I have both apps on both of my android phones (atrix_4G & SGS2). I obviously use gmail as my email provider. Does the gmail app offer functionality that that standard built-in email app does not. If not I'll probably delete the gmail app, as I get emails in both of them, at the same time. I don't need the redundancy so let one go.

I like K9, awesome email app...

K9 is the best mail client for me, no wakelocks at all anf much more customizable

the Email app is definitely better than Gmail in terms of functionality.
although, Email and Gmail are both craps, why not try Kaiten email, you will never regret it. You receive email instantly, just like chat!

With K9, I find trying to distinguish unread emails difficult. Anyway to solve this problem?

I use both of them, I use Gmail for my Google account and Email for my another accounts.
I think Gmail is better

both

Gmail is better...i like the whole look n feel of the app.

Email app, grouped mail box

I used them both, for another email i usually use browser directly

I use both of them and they are both nice email apps but have personaly a lil preference for gmail .

I use the Email program from ICS AOSP (wanams hacked version) much better than the sammy email.

But does is also have push notification for gmail?

i like how email would compress image attatchements but other than that i just use gmail. im used to it.

I like both , but i consider gmail my favorite

Neither of them really as you need both Gmail is Google accounts and email is for MSN, Hotmail etc... accounts

using Gmail default.. Its working fine for me

If you are talking about using HTC Mail app to configure your Gmail account, I prefer Gmail application over it. There are some disadvantages like you can't copy text from mails, no syncing schedule etc. But, I still like the Gmail app.

[Q] Gmail app or Mail app??

What does everyone use? and whats easier and faster?
I love my gmail account and Ive been using the gmail app, but i see there are more features with the maill app.....
What do you use? and Why?
I use both because I have other email accounts besides gmail.

If you only use gmail, then use the gmail app. Email is for other email providers. And of course if you want to use gmail with the email app you can, but why would anyone want to?

Because the gmail app kind off sucks. So does the mail app actually. WTB combined inbox.

I use gmail app with "save my attach" from the market. It allows me to save attachments to SD.
Love it.

Email Apps

What email apps are Nexus 7 owners using?
I cannot figure out how to get Nexus to auto-complete email addresses in the stock email app for either gmail or a non-gmail account. is this justmissing or do I need to turn something on?
Any alternatives?
I use mail droid. It has a free and a paid option. Best ive tried so far.

AquaMail Pro. I must have tried them all, but this one is the nicest in my opinion!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Do any of these do IMAP search on server?
I use Gmail, it auto-completes anything I have in contacts. I use to hate gmail on a mobile device, but I like it on the N7 better than K9, which I was using.
I use K9 on my Nexus 7, not perfect by any means, but, far better than the stock email client. I had problems with attachments using the stock email client.
With K9, I can open, save, view attachments etc., which is what I wanted.
Still searching for a better one ...............
Gmail has everything I need.
Yeah, I'm thinking of adding K9, it actually attaches and opens zip files as well as anything else you want to throw at it. Gmail sucks with attachments.

I've been using K9 for the last...three?... years now and I just love it... in my opinion the best one out there. I'm managing six IMAP accounts with it and it works just flawlessly... fast, reliable, I love it... :good:

Just tried k9 on my n7 and works great. Much more configurable than gmail. Just needs an on screen send button and it'd be perfect.
Edit: Found great app for a home screen shortcut to compose new mail, works with k9 or gmail.

I recently tried Aquamail and it was not bad... I still like K9 better, but Aquamail is rather great too...

Voice Announce?
Does anyone know of an email client or add-on that would speak at least the subject of the arriving imap mail?

I liked maildroid but kept crashing when using reply to all. Really wish there was a powerful outlook like application that supported exchange and hotmail/gmail etc.

I use stock gmail for my gmail and nitrodesk touchdown for exchange. I don't have a problem running 2 different apps for 2 different accounts.
Enhanced e-mail is an app that is close to the standard email app in Android 4.2.1. It has more options.
I use it because this app has an option to synchronize the trash.
Emptying the thrash by selecting messages one by one is no longer needed.

I used stock email app.

What Email app do you guys use for push?

I am using the Samsung Stock email app, setup as Microsoft Exchange Active Sync for push, but lately it's giving me some wakelock issues, and that's why I was searching for an alternative. I found an app, called AquaMail, which is cool but couldn't figure out how to enable push even after selecting it. Another one called Emoze, but it didn't even accept my Gmail user and pass, God knows why!
So what do you guys use? Which has push support and also I need sent email notification, just like stock Samsung app.
P.S.: Kindly don't bring up the official GMail app, I hate it.
Thanks in advance.

Aqua-mail is fantastic.
Well you could try mobi mail and touch down ,
Touchdown is my favorite but its little expensive I wanted it to setup an activesync account .

Guys, try maildroid. the best email client for android...Just Awesome.
k-9 mail is the best I've tried. From all the apps I've tried, only aquamail and k-9 work with push notifications (imap). The rest apps I've checked (including stock mail app) doesn't work with push.

Just tried SolMail and it works pretty well. The only downside that I have found during these few hours is that SolMail does not nest conversations.

Gmail is more than enough for me.
Important is you can receive and read your messages.
And yes i add few email accounts in one email client that includes my own domain.

Im using k-9 since 3 years
had the same problem as you (none gmail mail provider )
i found "MailDroid" the best.
you can even consider the free version as it enough for the most users..
but and there's a big but.. im still using gmail app for my gmail account as it's much more intuitive then any other email client i tried in android.
Just though of something, why not just link your account to gmail? I have a few that aren't gmail which are linked to it and it works great.
k9 email. I have been using for the last 2 years.
10 email accounts, many check every 5 mins when I wifi, wakelocks high but I still get over a days use, since I charge every night, its not an issue
with those toggle shortcuts change k9mail to sync only when background and autosync is checked, and turn on auto sync at will, so with mobile data or away, you can trigger when you like.

Enhanced Email. Particularly good for Exchange ActiveSync.
