I know only limited apps can use the hover option (all samsung apps), but I saw that it can be used in the EMAIL app to show a message preview
most of us use gmail, so i was hoping it would work in Gmail too, or google would let it work in an update
any thoughts/news on this?
Doesn't work in Gmail but I think it does in the stock email client, just haven't set it up yet.

Gmail doesn't support it, the native email client that Samsung provides has that feature. Don't think Google will support it. Dont expect them to either. Its s feature only 1-2% of all of Android users will be able to take advantage. Not feasible.

Quick question.
Does the native e-mail app support sending e-mails that your main account can send from? Ie. I have hotmail/outlook and I link my school account with it so I can send e-mails from my school address via Hotmail/Outlook.
Not sure if I'm clear, but I just want to know my Nexus 7 nor my Sensation can do that, so I just wanna know if it's possible.

More specifically I was wondering if I set up Hotmail/Outlook to be able to send e-mail from another account (my .edu account in this instance) could I also send the message from that address? Sure I can reply to all e-mails with my Hotmail/Outlook address, but that's an issue if the e-mail was sent to my .edu address (and pushed to my hotmail/outlook inbox)
No push for me with the native email but it's okay with the app Hotmail. I must to choice between push and Air View ...
While it's true that few Android users will have an s pen there are some that use a mouse. How does Android react when you hover something with a mouse? If they treat the s pen hover the same as a mouse hover they'd kill 2 birds with one stone.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the s pen quick commands to work properly with the Gmail app. If I make a command to just open Gmail it works but if I try to make it so you can add a message or recipient the shortcut doesn't open anything. Kind of annoying. It must be passing the arguments wrong to the app. Even if I could get it to open a bookmark to "mailto:" with an argument for the recipient and/or message, I think it would function since if I make a bookmark to mailto and put it on the home screen it opens Gmail right up.
Too bad the quick commands set up is so very limited.
You could use exchange in the default email app for push but I read somewhere that Google stopped supporting that on Gmail accounts.
Gmail does support some other kind of push. Perhaps there is a different email app that supports that alternate push method and also plays nice with the s pen and associated tools?

I did figure out a bit of a workaround for my issue with the s pen quick command. I just set up the built in email app with my Gmail account but I unchecked "sync email" and set all the sync options to "never". I still get email pushed to me and I have Gmail set as my default mail client for if I click on an email address/send to link but if I want to use an s pen quick command to send an email to a contact, it will work. Just a slightly different interface which is no big deal. It's for send only anyway.
Also, if you want Google to support the s pen try using the "send feedback" option in the Gmail app and tell them so. I'm sure if enough of us do that they will listen.

I have set up my email account with the Samsung built-in email app, but it seems to only download old messages. Right now I'm seeing emails from 2006. Is there any way to make it download the newest messages on the server, instead of the oldest ones? As it is now, it is totally useless.
On a related issue, if I want to use the built-in email app with my Gmail account (I would rather use a single email program for both Gmail and my work email without having to switch between apps), is there any way to get the "recent:" functionality working? When I try to set my username with recent: before my email address, as Gmail has you do to only get the last month of email, the Samsung mail app says my login is wrong.
Both of these worked fine with the HTC mail app on my old Hero, so I'm kind of surprised if Samsung's mail app can't do it.

What type of email do ypu have?
I've only tried it connecting to Gmail, with the Gmail POP3/SMTP servers. I know that Google encourages us to use the Gmail app for that, but it seems so strange that Samsung can't get their mail app to work properly with Gmail.
I've been using K-9 mail for the last few weeks, but it seems to have its own problems, but unlike the Samsung app it actually works reasonably well enough. Unfortunately I have yet to find a mail client that works as well as HTC's, though. Maybe I just need to learn how to program this thing and fix K-9 myself.

I just got my Galaxy Nexus and was hoping that this would be something that ICS would resolve. My single biggest gripe with Android is lack of native PUSH email notifications for non-Gmail email accounts.
I shouldn't have to forward emails to my gmail account for this to work. That is not a solution, but merely a half-crack workaround.
I don't have the ability to use Google apps with my work email account.
I don't have an Exchange account, just an IMAP account. So it sounds like my only options are to get one of the shotty email clients in the app market or move to iPhone that supports this natively. I love android, this is just one of those things that's a priority for me. :-/

Check out Kaiten Mail. Based off K9 email, but I think it works better, and works great on tablets too.

You can't just add "push", the email service needs to support it.
"Push" email is just a descriptor, it's not an actual implementation of anything specific.

The iPhone doesn't support PUSH (aka IMAP IDLE) for IMAP email servers. I'm positive it doesn't do it for the native email (my wife has an iPhone), can't say if there's an email client app that supports, but I want to say no since iOS will kill any background running app like that.
Get K9 mail for Android, I used it a lot a couple years ago via IMAP (before switching to Gmail full time), worked great for instant notifications.

the email must support push email (IMAP idle) but the client must support that too.
my own server supports IMAP idle, I use the push service on every phone but it does not work on my galaxy nexus.
I must admit that android is only a soap bubble, you can't say that android is an advanced OS when it lacks the basic feature of feature phones.
I could've sworn I had a stock Email app on my Droid Charge at one point that was push. It was awesome. There has to be a stock or AOSP Email app apk out there somewhere that we can use.
Galaxy Sll email app has it...maybe someone can port it.

If you are using exchange or gmail is ok, in any other case push email is not possible on gnex using the standard email client.
Your title is a bit misleading. Ice Cream Sandwich does support PUSH for exchange and hotmail in addition to gmail. IMAP Idle is not supported.
"GNEX doesn't supprt IMAP Idle. We need your voice."
I have Automatic (Push) on the standard email app for Hotmail and Gmail

If you work for a company with some email services, you obviously don't want to leave gmail to manage your emails.
In this case the gmail fetcher feature uses POP and not IMAP so it can't be considered push email. Study more before complaining about me please

What is your definition of push? Corporate works. Gmail works. Yahoo works. IMAP works. I'm not sure what other kind of "push" technology you're referring to. Other than that, POP3 is just POP3. Google can't help what technologies other email providers offer.
I think there's a huge disconnect between you and the rest of us right now, so could you elaborate?

The huge disconnect is because most people here don't know what push email/IMAP idle is.
Push email means that your client/server connection remains in idle, no need to connect every X minutes to check for a new email since the connection is never lost.
With PUSH email (called IMAP Idle for most email provider) you is notified on new email in real time, this saves battery also because the connection remains in idle and there is no need to create a new handshake every time.
PUSH email isn't possible with POP account but this days every email provider supports both POP and IMAP.
With ICS and previous android there is no way to do IMAP idle with a standard email since this feature is supported in gmail client only.
Do you realize that you don't need to use the factory email program to check email? There are plenty of free options in the Market (as well as SMS, dialers, etc) to replace any app you do not like.

Using Google and Gmail is less taxing on your battery. If you setup your Gmail account (on a computer from the Gmail inbox) to poll your other accounts, it will then push new emails to your phone. That means your phone is only active (in terms of getting emails) when a new email is being pushed to the phone verses the native email app that will poll your pop3 accounts on the frequency you select. It will do that polling whether there are new emails available on your server or not. Over at Android Central is an article titled "Using Gmail as your own personal push mail server". It explains exactly how to set this up.
I've been doing this for about two years now and love it. I think the Gmail is better than the native email app too.
Good luck.
Gmail app, hands down. You're going to miss so many functions compared to the basic email app.
I didn't even know there was a stock email app..
Gmail all the way.
Gmail of course. Never even touched the stock Email app on any phone I've had.
I'd only use the stock email app if I had to connect to an exchange server. Otherwise, Gmail can pull your email and label them - there is your unified inbox, with the best search in the world and many more features than the stock email app.
Gmail no doubt about it

I wish Google would put all of its efforts into just creating one amazing email app instead of two ok apps. I need Exchange support so I'm forced to use both apps and honestly, neither compares to the experience I had on Windows Phone... Search was much better and faster on Windows Phone as well. The main advantage to Gmail app is the labels function, after that the clients in Androids competitors win in speed, zoom and ability to change views like swipe to view all unread messages, and swipe again to view starred messages.
Stock Gmail preferred, but have to use both since Yahoo won't connect to Gmail unless you pay them a premium fee. Yahoo account is basically collecting spam and an occasional message from someone who hasn't updated their contact list in a while. And c2dm is more timely and battery efficient than scheduled polling and sync.

hmm well I have been using the stock email app forever. Mainly because I needed exchange support, first for school and now for work. But I got tired of exchange hogging the battery so I just have all my emails forwarded now to my gmail account. Might have to give it a try.
Seeing as I only use Gmail on my phone the Gmail app does the job (and I delete the stock app as I never use it)

I pull other accounts into my main Gmail account, so everything ends up there (e-mails from other accounts automatically get labeled accordingly), and I can access everything through the Gmail app on my phone.
1) Take picture
2) Go to sharing screen
3) Choose e-mail photo
4) New e-mail opens up with photo attached, showing default e-mail account
5) No way to change to a different account?
Am I missing something? This is like the simplest thing. I have never seen a phone not give you the option to change which e-mail account you're sending from.
For GMail? When I click share, it takes me to the compose page in GMail, and if I tap the email account, it gives me the drop-down to select other GMail accounts.
If you mean the stock "EMail" app, I only have 1 account there, can't check.

No, the e-mail client. You never get an option to change the account after you choose e-mail. It just creates a new mail using your default account and there's no way to change it.
