I was wondering if there is any way of making the stock mail app to receive push notifications from any imap server.
If I configure my professional mail account on the stock app it needs polling to check the server, what I guess consumes much more battery. If I use k-9 mail or aquamail it works perfectly (selecting 'never' on server polling), these apps doesn't need polling, the message is delivered (pushed) instantly as received on the server.
I can use any of these apps, but I'd like to use the stock mail app if someone knows how to enable this feature on it.
Thank you.
I didn't found a solution and I finally ended to use a third party app: MailDroid.
It's the best in my opinion and I also use push IMAP with it.

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.
Hi,
Is it possible to set priority for outgoing mails? I couldn't find it...
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
There is no way to prioritize outgoing within the gmail app, it also doesn't work with the stock mail client.
Maybe another app like enhanced email or k9 is capable of this?

I haven't tried them yet but it should be. So, does gmail have priority when it is using on web?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
I never really thought about whether the gmail web service offers to set an e-mails priority. Just checked though and it appears that you simply can't, there's no option to be found.
Also, gmail appears to delete/disregard incoming mails priorities, an email send via outlook exchange arrived with out any indication for its high priority.
This probably also rules out the possibly to get around it with any other app.
What a strange! Gmail app shows priority mails as a folder but gmail doesn't support to send priority mail

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!

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.

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.

stock
I used stock email app.
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.
Hi folx,

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.

AquaMail
Enhanced Email. Particularly good for Exchange ActiveSync.
