Hello everyone.
I have troubles with my native mail app. Most of the time it's working as it should but whenever I receive emails with attachments (a photo for instance) sent by my friends who use iPhones, I can't see the text they sent along with the picture. I only see the attached image. The text is not displayed, not even in the 'original message' when I try to reply to it.
However, when I check the email in apps like K-9 Mail and Improved Email, the emails are displayed properly. Text, including the attached image(s).
I want to keep using the native app so my question is: is this a known problem? Maybe there's a workaround for this? I appreciate any help.
Which ROM are you using? if it is an older one you may want to consider updating it so you get senseHD which may have received an update or fix for your particular issue.
Worst case scenario is you open emails from iphones with an alternative email client
Is it only happening with iPhones? If so, it could be a problem with them sending it.

I haven't modified my Desire apart from some launcher apps and lock screens.

Yes it's only happening with iPhones. One is a 3gs, the other one a 4 though. Sending emails from one iPhone to the other seems to work fine. It looks more like a compatibility issue.
Anyone else having an issue where read messages don't stay marked as read? I've been having to re mark emails as read daily.

Yes. Even my note 1 was terrible with this. I'd delete messages even and they pop back up multiple times randomly. It's been pretty agitating, and I've gotten to the point where I just stopped the notifications.

Did you try using a 3rd party email app to see if it made a difference?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-I317) on the infamous AT&T Network.
Yes, no change. This is yahoo, road runner, gmail, and the att.net via yahoo that all do it repeatedly on any device except via web browser. Tried an ipad, iphone, note 10.1, the first note phone, and both of the note 2's I have had. The apple devices don't copy the alerts for only the roadrunner account, otherwise all 4 accounts repeated the same problem.
Have you found any solution? I am not sure why all those different gmail and yahoo accounts would act so strangely but it is typical for me. Haha

Nope, unfortunately no solution as of yet but it's annoying as he'll, and I know that much!

This probably won't help, but I'll put it out there anyway. I've noticed that when I go into any web based email client (Comcast, for instance) the mail on my phone from that account...refreshes, is the best way I can put it. Mail I've already deleted from my phone pops up again as new and I have to go through and delete it again. That has happened on pretty much every phone I've used. Never really looked into it too deeply, but it is annoying.

Definitely true! I never had an issue with any devices for years now until my note 1 hit ICS official. I am not sure how it coincides but that is the only thing I know of that changed. Strange stuff. I have the same trouble, especially clear from device to device.
I may just try a 3rd party app to see if that helps. Maybe K9 Mail or similar. Will report back.

Just a few thoughts of what I've seen in the past. You may already know all this but FWIW, whatever.
1. pop3 email accounts are crap. Usually when you delete, it still stays on the server until you delete in webmail or something with true access to email.
2. Setting up email accounts with imap will delete off the server. It's not perfect like Exchange but better than pop.
3. I've often used the settings in gmail to push or pull email from my other none gmail accounts. For example my home internet company will only send usage alerts to the email account they provide. They also don't allow access to see the email unless you are on their network (at home) or go to their site and check their webmail app. So I use gmail pull tool to automatically check for new emails every so often (Gmail decides the frequency) and pull the new mail into my gmail account, then they show up on my phone. One time I accidently created a loop of three email addresses, one pushing and one pulling email so 1 email continually delivered over and over until I realized what I had done. "Broadcast storm anyone??" You may want to check how many devices are getting access to that email address, it could be something like #4.
4. I've seen a problem where my home desktop PC has Outlook installed. When outlook is open I think it would receive the email before my phone and save it to the PST, so my phone would never see it. Except there was a setting in outlook to "Leave emails on the server for X amount of time. Which was great because then my phone would see them even though outlook pulled them into the PST file. However I also noticed when I deleted the email from my phone it would reappear and I think it was because I had outlook leave it on the server. If my PC was shut off I had no problems. Another way I could clear it was to go to a webmail site and login to my email and delete them off the server. Then they would still be in my PST from the first time they arrived and I could also delete them off my phone only this time they would not reappear because I had gone into the server and deleted them. I bet this is as clear as mud right. Meh
One of these above may be a factor.
I am using apex launcher and the symptoms have minimized or fixed.... but this is an android issue... android doesn't do push like the iPhone...
on the iPhone...you delete an email and a couple of secs later.. it is gone from the web... and vice versa...
on android you have to wait till it syncs... it doesn't do push...
these are the things that make me want to go back to iPhone... i wish we could install iOS on this big phone!

Yahoo mail app does push for certain, and so does hotmail, even to the native email app. I just cant seem to get the yahoo mail app to zoom ever, and it makes reading messages impossible. I get the same repeated emails in ios also, so it isn't free of similar issues for me at least.

Try pushing aosp email & exchange APK to your phone and see if that fixes it by replacing the stock apps
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda premium
Anyone know if the aosp email will work on the Note 2? If you got it working can you point me to a link or the procedure?
My wife just got this phone and the stock email app seems to not like to push email to her phone from her hotmail exchange account. She will go a long time without an email and get curious and open the Note 2's email app and get like 12 emails all at once since the app also refreshes when opened.
She is very against switching to using Gmail which is the first thing most people say. I have already tried getting her to switch or forward her emails to Gmail. I had installed the AOSP email app on her previous phone (EVO Shift) and she liked it and it worked properly so I thought I might try it on her new phone but the only procedure seems to be for the AT&T version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991908&page=2) which I assume will be the same but who knows what carriers change. Just wanted to know if any Sprint users have successfully done it.
Thanks
Try these apk's, if they don't install let me know......

Hi Lords
I love the look of original mail client but, unfortunately, using it, i can't receive any certified message.
The certified mails contains only two attached files instead 3 or more.
You can imagine how lawyer this is important for a lawyer......
I tried several clients and some, as Solmail, works good but i don't like its look.....
Any suggestion or tweaks will be very appreciated.

I am not sure what a certified email is but on lg g2, I can not receive encrypted email. I am asked to open same email from the desktop computer.
I have a Pixel 2 XL with Android 8.1. I recently moved to Join from Pushbullet because messages sent from the PC were not syncing with my phone text app (Android Messages.) But the same thing is happening with Join in that I'll send a message via the Chrome Extension and the other person gets it but on my phone, I never see what I sent via Join. I'm guessing this might be either an Android Messages problem, 8.1 problem or a combo of both.
Yesterday, I got one to sync and that was it. If it matters, it was a single line message. But then tried a one word reply to someone and it didn't sync.
And just now, I sent a new message (started as a new message in Join in Chome to my nieces). One went through and synced to my phone but the other didn't.
I'm hoping it is something I just need to check and change.
This may not be a show stopper to some but if this is an 8.1 thing, I may need to go back to my Note 8. Hate to do that because I'm really enjoying my Pixel 2 XL and 8.1
Any suggestions?

I use Mighty Text and it works just fine. I send SMS/MMS all the time (several times per day) and have not had a problem with it on 8.0 or 8.1. This is split between using both Firefox and Chrome. I can see text/pics sent on my Messages app on the phone. What carrier are you with? I'm on AT&T.
I'm on Verizon. I thought about firing up my Note 8 to see if problem is there too. Only had this problem on 8.1
While I never had any issues with it, I got away from pushbullet long ago.
if you are open to it, perhaps check out using something like Pulse. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.klinker.messenger
Works across just about every platform.

This is one of the reasons I left Pushbullet and tried Join. But sadly, the problem still existed on the Pixel XL 2. Pushbullet support didn't ever respond and Join Support said it might be a problem with Android Messages. Beyond removing updates on Android Messages or trying a factory reset on my Pixel 2 XL, I've been at a loss to what to do. I'd try Pulse but I think the same problem may exist.

Maybe an APN issue? Try comparing your APN with another Verizon user. FDR seems a bit harsh for this, but I think it is safe to rule out an issue with 8.1 or Messages because it is working for just about everyone else.
APN is Verizon: VZWINTERNET

I meant the settings within the APN, particularly the MMS. You'll need to compare with another Verizon user and what is published online. If there is more than one (I have 3) try using a different one. Do you have another phone on your plan? Check that one.
Considering the other party is receiving the messages, it sounds more like a display issue with Messages to me. Join/Pushbullet/etc. don't actually send the messages, they just relay them to your phone and your phone sends them. So they must be making it to your phone if the other party is getting them.

I will check it and also fire up my Note 8 once again.
It's not Pushbullet. It's Android messages. Use an alternative like Textra and it'll work fine.

I use Textra and still have the same problem. From my investigating, the only message that doesn't sync is the first one I send from Join to initiate a new conversation. From then on, all messages sync. Just my first outgoing one doesn't.

Look in your settings on Pushbullet. Also, are you using pro or free?

Rather than paying monthly for Pushbullet Pro, I paid the one time fee for Join, so I haven't used Pushbullet for a while. I haven't used all of the features of Join yet, but it looks like it can do a lot more than Pushbullet and it's cheaper.
Plus another factor that may affect my experience vs yours is:
I'm mainly using Pushbullet to see texts people send me on my other phone numbers, on a different phone..I rarely use the desktop interface (though I do have it active when I am on my laptop)
So maybe that's why my experience is different from yours
I also noticed that texts sent to short codes that have 5 digits, don't work on Android messages well...I noticed that the Text gets sent, and the service responds, but the message doesn't come through on Android messages... Only on another text app.(ex: your bank)
My point is that Android messages has issues on 8.1 that it didn't on earlier versions and I'm wondering if that's affecting services like Pushbullet in weird ways.
Sorry for the off topic.. But it's sort of related

Well, this is why I suggested it, as there is no issues when using pulse.
Join doesn't seem to work as well for me. I'm just gonna continue to subscribe to Pushbullet. I did like the interface though. Nicely done.

I like what I've seen from all three: Pushbullet, Join and Pulse. But I truly prefer Android Messages because it just flows better with my Android Wear watch. I sure hope they fix the Android Messages issues in 8.1 and soon.

I mentioned earlier that Mighty Text has never had an issue with Messages. All text and pictures sent from the PC are captured in Messages with no missing/dropped/failed messages. Free version has a 200 message limit that I have only hit once. I use it on my Wi-Fi tablet as well.
I had some weird issues with Join and Android Messages on my 2XL. Sprint Network. Sometimes received messages would show in join but not in messages and other times sent items through join weren't showing in messages. It was sporadic and not consistent. Eventually I turned Android Messages off from battery saving (doze) and I haven't had a problem since.
