Stock android email apk

Hi, anyone know if its possible to replace sense email with the stock email app?
Reason is using exchange with the sense one enabled security for the phone, meaning I need a password to unlock which is stupid. I understand needing security but why not just lock that email account rather than the whole phone!
Anyway the email app on my Nexus One doesn't have this issue, anyone know how I can pull the email apk out and replace the sense on?
Thanks

There is an alternative. There is an app available for free on the market place which removes that password prompt. I can't remember the name of it but search this forum as it's been mentioned before.

you can't replace it yet, but you can certainly install the stock one. I have it hosted on my webspace

great. Would be even better if it could handle attachments. Is it possible that the quickoffice and pdf viewer are tied to htc sense and not to native android?

Lockpicker, from the market (developed by one of the forum members, iirc) will disable the password prompt, as mentioned in another reply. I use it and it works a treat.

I used this mail.apk on my HTC Droid Incredible and it works perfectly.
HTC stock Sense Mail client does not bring in any of my emails, at least not for my company on IMAP settings.

Hi all,
I applied this application to HTC Sprint EVO none-rooted with stock Android 2.1 and it works.
This stock email.apk allowed me to resolve problem with HTC Mail for Android Version 2.00.0037.195459 not having "allow all certificates" option required to be able to Active Sync if you use self-signed certificate.
However, this version does not seem to support Exchange Calendar.
Does anybody have newest email.apk from Android 2.2 which works on 2.1 ?
They claim support for Calendar and GAL, but I don't want to upgrade to 2.2 just to get email app upgraded.
Regards
Ivan

Hello it says url is not valid. Can you reupload it by any chance? Also, is this the latest version available?

[Q] No decent Email client for EVO?

All I want is 1 email client with a combined inbox (like Blackberry). I've tried every option available. I use gmail for personal Exchange for work.
Sense client is terrible and can't do combined inbox or push with gmail.
CM6 Email.apk doesn't word wrap for some reason so everyone has to scroll right to read my emails (even shows like this in my own sent items).
K9 doesn't support ActiveSync Exchange (NO idea why not, it is otherwise perfect).
Touchdown looks like crap and only supports 1 Exchange account (no combined inbox) but it has a ton of functionality.
Droid X and Galaxy S native email.apk are pretty awesome (at least better than the Sense one) but no one has ported to EVO yet. I've tried getting the apks but they do not install, even when deodex'd. It's pretty crazy that HTC gave a Froyo update but didn't bring any of the stock Froyo functionality sense we are still stuck with Sense 2.0...

Have you tried flashing the Email.apk from those others instead of installing them?

hmmm. I will have to do some research to see how to "flash" an .apk. I guess it has to go into a zip file with a certain file structure.

Yeah exactly but if you use clockwork recovery you can flash a unsigned zip..When I was using another gallery i used the zip attached to flash it in clockwork. you could use that as a template.

How about GeeMail? I haven't tried it yet, but I see no reason it won't work.

I have the donate version of ROM manager so I flash between clockwork and RA often. I'll give this a shot.
I'll also look into GeeMail. I'm willing to try anything.

It looks like GeeMail is a desktop application for gmail. I don't see any android versions...?

I tried replacing the gallery.apk with the email.apk from the Galaxy S and flashing this with Clockwork. It does not seem to have worked but Clockwork didn't show any kind of error or tell why it didn't work so I was unable to see what happened.

It is an Adobe AIR application. You just have to install Adobe AIR on the Droid.

AIR isn't available for Android yet. I know there is a beta but I'm not sure GeeMail is a solution anyway as it seems to only work with gmail, not Exchange.
Perfect solution would be K9 adding ActiveSync Exchange support but I can't figure out from the google code page if or when this would happen.
A good runner up would be getting the Samsung Galaxy S/Captivate client ported over to the EVO. I have a few coworkers with the Captivate and the client is great.

Yes, AIR for the 'Droid is beta, but it is a Public beta and it is working rather well.

Any good clients besides maildroid and k9

I really miss my Moment email app. I snagged the apk off of the Moment, but when i try to install it I get "application not installed".
This app can do multiple inboxes and exchanges.

We really need a good solution for evo. I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about this. I guess not many people use gmail and exchange?
Swyped on my EVO

When I got my moment I just based off my email to my gmail.
Sent from my Evo, using the xda app

Something needs to be done for sure. I have two Exchange mail servers that I need to connect to. My moment did that flawlessly. My iPad can do it since I jailbroke it and ran a teeny tiny app.
I got the Evo ignorantly thinking that this was standard for Android email.
I really hope someone figures out how to put the Moment email app on the Evo.
If anyone needs the apk to do that I'll send it to ya.

i came across this recently. i have not yet tried it.

MailDroid v1.41 (beta)
By joelangley. Updated August 25, 2010

Have you tried emailing the k9-mail developer and asking them to include exchange support? I've found most developers I've emailed are happy to receive suggestions on their apps. Couldnt hurt.

Isn't Active Sync something that requires a license from MS? I assumed that was why K9 didn't have it included.

I definitely want to see a better mail solution. Using exchange and gmail I have to keep two icons on the desktop to be able to go to an inbox. this should just be unified.

[APP] Updated 6 June, 2011, improved Email.apk (Gingerbread)

What is it? Originally this was a direct extract of the Email.apk from Nexus One 2.3.4; but the most recent update uses a bug-fixed version extracted from CM7. Primarily because the text prediction bar works in this Email app; while it seems to be missing from all the SGS Gingerbread Email.apks.
Update November 3: I have been using CM7 and don't see myself switching back... CM rocks!!
Update June 6: New version extracted from CM7 nightly that appears to really fix the problem where Exchange email accounts stop syncing, requiring a reboot of the phone. I've been using this build 4 days without sync problem. Relevant threads HERE and HERE
As far as I know this will only work on a Gingerbread ROM. Install via CWM. The installer will attempt to ERASE your emails and email account settings from your phone. This keeps the system from getting all goofed up due to database incompatibilities between Email.apks (Thanks nitr8 and styxx!)
I tested this under Juwe's ROM v4.2 and under Darkys 10.1 against my office Exchange server. It seems to work great.
I am not a developer by any means. What I've posted here is something hacked together out of nothing more than dumb luck. (Really, all I did was extract the APK from the CM7 nightly and modify the menu xml files to link to APK internal PNG images rather than linking to the phone framework PNGs. No actual program code changes were made by me.) If it bricks your phone and your hair falls out... sorry, but don't come crying to me. You have been warned! If this app doesn't work for you, please post anyway so I can laugh at you... Errr... I mean, so I can try to help you.

May 8th update: Some of the menu icons were not showing up properly. Spent some time with APK Manager and figured out how to add in the missing icons.

looks fun
ive tried this and it looks good and works well. The major issue for me as with all the older email apps is there is no "Move to folder" option..... which absolutely drives me nuts. I had it until I tried using the TAB email app, then tried going back but keep getting this same apk and am missing this option. Its a real pain!

Funny, I didn't even notice the "Move to Folder" option was absent!
For me the text prediction was a huge issue, and it was really my only motivator for trying it out. I'm very happy with how quick and responsive this app is. With the stock app I would get lag at different times, especially noticeable when deleting multiple messages. This Nexus version seems to delete them instantly. I also really like having the check-mark boxes present on the message list.
I haven't tried the TAB email app, are you saying the move-to-folder option is missing from the TAB version as well? Have you tried the SGSII Email app from this thread?

good plan
the option was there in the tab email app and also in the newer one of the galaxy but I cant find the apk for that! that'll teach me to back them up! I'll have a look at that thread anyway and see where it leads. Thanks for your work and your assistance.

post a couple of screenshots please: ) otherwise thanks!

Thanks works great

THANK YOU. Samsung email client is sub-optimal. I feel like I can breath again. No more staring at the screen waiting to read an email.

Thanks for sharing !
Anyway, Landscape mode (as with Samsumg one) doesn't work with this Email.apk ... So I'll stay with my K9-mail app.

I use K9 for my personal email account, and the Nexus app for my work email account... and I don't see a difference in the way they handle landscape mode... so just curious, what am I missing?

It doesn't look significantly different. There are check boxes along the left edge of the message list view so you can quickly select multiple messages for deletion, otherwise it looks pretty much the same. The big difference is in how much more responsive it is over the Samsung client, and the fact that the keyboard text prediction bar works when using this email client.

There was a misunderstanding : Samsung app has a different landscape mode.

quick noob question. do i have to wipe anything before flashing this? I'm guessing no but want to be sure.

You need to flash the ZIP via from ClockworkManager, and it will attempt to wipe your email accounts to prevent force close issues due to email database differences between the Email.apk versions.

Thanks for posting this! I was killing myself trying to figure out why autocorrection and word prediction wasn't working on my gb rom. I installed it on my captivate running a gb rom (Serendipity VII). It works very nicely for me.

New version _actually_ seems to fix Exchange sync problem.

Thanks for the update. I had trouble getting it to connect over a good 3g signal, but it did so when I enabled wireless for the first sync. I hadn't noticed the synching problem but might not have used it long enough to see the problem. All seems to be working. This app is much nicer than the stock samsung email client in virtually every way. It is much more polished and easier to use. It would be nice if it didn't clear settings when updating over itself, but that is not a big deal.

It's a bit confusing in this thread, but I take it that this apk also lacks Move To Folder? That's a seriously useful feature and it might drive me back to stock on my Incredible just to get it back. Then, of course, I lost the ability to create private appointments in the calendar! Whee. Have you found a version yet that has this feature?

[REQ] Modified Stock Email App

So on my CM7 ROMs I had a modified email.apk which allowed me to circumvent exchange security policies when connecting to my corporate Exchange server. We require devices to be locked with a 4-digit PIN code, and I absolutely hate this. The new email app in ICS is 110% improved over the old one, but I would really love to be able to avoid having a PIN again. I know that Google has beefed up security (with encryption and whatnot) in the stock app, but I was wondering if someone could take a look at the new apks and see if they could be modified. I noticed that there is now EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk, so I'm not sure if the two work in tandem, or if the ExchangeGoogle.apk is used for EAS account or what, but I'll attach both for posterity.

There is already a thread on this. It links to a working modded file. Works great on 4.0.2

Oh, I looked around and didn't see it. I'll search again, but do you happen to have a link handy? Sorry for not doing enough due diligence!

Look for the post by Phyrefox on pg. 5. It's the email from 4.0.2 but it's working fine on 4.0.3 for me. I just renamed the original apk to .apk.bak and replaced it and set the permissions. After you set up your email account, restart your phone and it should stop bugging you about setting a security pin.

Thanks guys, I actually found the thread on my own, got it set up and everything is working fine (thank goodness). I originally only searched the GNex forums, which is why I didn't find this thread. Sorry about that!

ICS AOSP Email Client

Does anyone have an ICS AOSP e-mail client apk that can be installed on Calk's FC06 rom? Thanks in advance.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I was able to pull the apks (email and exchange) out of CM9 and replace those in the system/app folder, change the permissions to match what they were previously, clear data/cache of the email and exchange apps, and voila, ICS email.

I made a backup first, just in case.
Then I used Root Explorer to replace the e-mail and exchange apks (delete the old ones, you have a backup anyway) in system/app.
Long press on the new versions, change permissions to have all three sections (owner, group, others) checked for read, only owner for write, and none for execute or special permissions. Should look like this:
x x o
x o o
x o o
o o o
Then, settings menu, applications, go into e-mail and exchange and clear data and cache.
Restart and enjoy aosp e-mail.

All worked for me, minus FC18, and it just doesnt send emails, i can sync my calender and all my emails, just not send.

Alright...so I'm extremely new to this. I'm confused. The link provides a .zip file. Where is the .apk? I'm not sure exactly what I have to do.

Thanks oddlou, its working beautifully.
