Yes, I tried searching, but did not find anything specific to my question.
Basically, is there a way to add a folder to the stock email app? I would like to be able to move emails into a "Save" folder, instead of leaving them in my inbox, but I do not see any way to add/create a new folder.
I'm using all my email accts (yahoo, gmail, live, outlook.com) in Pop3.
thanks.

What you will need to do is create the folder in the email itself in a browser. Once that's done go to the email app on the phone and tap the inbox name at the top. it will give you a drop down of options, the last one should be show all folders and your new folder should be there (not required, but if you wanted to check). When you check mark an email and choose to move it, it will list all the folders available, if you don't see it just scroll and you will find it...

thanks for the reply... no go though... no additional yahoo folder showed up.. i have one in yahoo called "save"
If I am not mistaken the only way to have other folders is to use IMAP or Exchange POP does not allow for it.

You can create folders for each account, you just can't create a folder while using the combined view.
To the left of create an email it should say which inbox you are viewing. If it says combined tap it. A list will appear. Then select the account you wish to create a new folder in. (Let's say gmail) once in gmail inbox tap your menu button. (To the left of the home button). Select folders. This will show you your current gmail folders. At the top right will be a + sign. Tap that and add your folder.
You have to do that for each account. You can't move emails from different accounts into one generic folder. I have yahoo, gmail and my apple account. I can't select emails from all of those accounts and move them to one folder called personal. I have to create a personal folder for each account and move the emails from each account into its own 'personal' folder.
Hope that makes sense or helped.

Thanks for the help but it still doesn't work for me. I'm using the stock att email app from the clean rom roms.
As you can see in the screen shots, there's no plus button to add a new folder

I'd ask scott (from scottsroms) he is the developer for clean rom and shoupd be able to help.
If you were on the stock rom in the second screenshot there would be a + sign for adding folders.
I didn't realize you weren't on stock firmware. Sorry.

You are welcome. If you can set those mail boxes up AS IMAP or Exchange you will be able to add folders but not the POP accounts. At least I cannot add folders to POP accounts.

I am coming from a Vibrant so am not all that familiar with Vanilla android, is there any way to get contacts to sync with Facebook? I liked how on the Vibrant I could link all my phone contacts with their facebook accounts so there photos would be updated, also have quick access to their fb pages, but mostly for throwing in all their pictures. I see you can add FB friends into contacts on the phone but I dont see a way to link the FB friends contact info with their phone number? Is there any way to link them? I dont want to have two seperate contacts (one for phone number and one for FB) for each person in my "contacts" tab.
Thanks
When I first opened the Facebook app, it asked if I wanted to sync all friends to contacts, sync information to existing contacts, or skip syncing.
I chose to sync with existing contacts and it only added pictures and Facebook links to the contacts.

I have that set too but some of the people in my contacts arent put in as first name and last name, but just first name or a nick name, on the Vibrant I could just link the fb contact and the phone contact together if the names werent exactly the same, doesnt seem like thats an option on this phone?

In that case... go to Contacts :ress and hold contact's name::: > EDIT CONTACT > then Press MENU > JOIN.
you should see a list of suggested names from your facebook contacts.....
If the one you want isn't listed there.... try changing either first name or last name or both... (you dont have to save) and then press MENU > JOIN .... again.... and it should come up...

awesome, thank you so much! thats exactly what i was looking for
Anyone using launcher pro, i notice that even though it syncs with facebook and puts the pics in the contacts tab, it doesnt put the contact into the contact picture when you edit the contact so as a result, doesnt put it into the "people" widget
nm turns out its a known launcher pro issue
Hello I found today that you cannot make a mass delete on you email application (the default one, which is coming with the device) and you have to select one by one to delete them. is there any way to get mass delete?
thank you
Do you mean the gmail app? not very clear to me.
If so this is indeed not possible, in gmail it's even very difficult to do because of a bug, but it can be done.
From gmail itself this is the trick.
Create label: something like to be removed
Use search like !label:whateveryouwantlabel select all add to the created label.
Go to the label and select all mail then delete it, otherwise you'll not be able to remove them.

All,
I was using Touchdown before for my Exchange emails, but decided to try the default email app on the Nexus. What I would like is to view by default "All Email Folder" so no matter where my filters sought out to what folder it will show in main inbox.
I believe in the default mail app, you have to view the emails in the respective folders?
Thanks!
I too had the same problem - I just use Moxier Mail, which allows you to select all folders in your 'Sync Folder'. Unfortunately the default mail app still doesn't let you do this.
You can set sync options for each sub folder, but currently notification still not working for email that filtered to sub folders.

Can anyone suggest an alternate email client? I would lie it to do everything the stock one does but with one difference, I would like to move to the next email without returning to the inbox, i.e I am in the body of a message, I have read it and there is an arrow or something that allows me to move straight to the next or previous message, sorry for poor explanation but hopefully you know what I mean!
You can quickly switch between messages the way you describe with K9 mail (I can't post a link -- but google or a play store search for "K9 mail" will find it)
You can do the same too with the ICS Stock email client. That one was one of the best improved applications on ICS and I use that on my H1X along with the 4x4 widget to display emails on one of my home screens.
app called Touchdown
I'm using Touchdown and it works just great for me...

+1 for stock ICS. My only issue remains that the widget "freezes" / doesn't update immediately [this is an issue with ICS or the app, not the H1X]
Another +1 for Touchdown, while reading a message there are options to go to the next or previous email
Enhanced email works really well. I got mine free on the amazon daily promo a while back. It's more or less stock ics email with exchange security settings being configurable.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Thanks for the responses, I will try the stock ics
+1 for K9 mail
however, this is possible in stock sense email app too... you must uncheck "threaded view" option in general settings first, then you can see "next mail" and "previous mail" options in settings when you are viewing any email (three dots options button on upper right corner) in normal view. I know, it is almost same thing with 'back' then tap on next item in threaded view as well, and shame there is no swiping possibility either, hope HTC put this feature in coming updates.
Cheers!
Only thing that puts me off k9 is the pure white with no option for a dark look!
I have emailed the dev but yet to receive a response!

Go to Global settings --> Display and select Dark option in Theme, restart the app by existing K9 and dark theme will be applied when you open K9 again.
Whenever I get emails with images in it, like emails from ATT, Target, GAP etc, the email is showing up as if being viewed in a computer, I mean i can only see a part of it in Gmail, so I have to manually resize the email so that it fits in my phone display. This is kind of an annoyance since coming from iPhone where the email with images would get resized to fit the iphone display. Just wondering if there is any email client that work like the one on the iphone ?

Kaiten
I am using KAITEN for a long time, on my third device now. I was always happy with it.
Not free, but worth the money.
I have a question about k9. I have 3 email accounts on stock email app. 2 of which i have currently set to push so within seconds i have my new email. 1 of which i use to sign up for things and email certain companies ( that i don't need to get instant contact ) and this would be daft using up my mobile data on! I have found that as soon as i set up the accounts they are immediately on push. Even tho there is an update folders option set to never!?
Would someone be able to explain how i would set my third account to be manual- ie i will have to press sync to fetch new mail.
Best
Jr
press accounts and sync settings.......
There is no accounts and sync within k9
To reiterate i would like two accounts to be pushed to my device and one to be manual when i go into it and select "retrieve mail"
Is this possible with k9?

Long press the account, account settings, sync folders, set poll frequency to never and push folders to none.

Thanks for the help but i managed to get one account set to manual but it wasn't the one i wanted and i couldn't get it to push without recreating. This is one confusingly laid out app with its settings.
The beauty of the stock app is you can set to push and even set an on and off peak schedule and define how the app pulls in emails in those periods. Unfortunately the schedule in ics is broken which is why i was seeking an alternative.
No way i can view my sub-folder in Exchange with stock email. Enhanced Email shows but Enhanced Email can't sync calender with stock Calender in Jelly Bean.
I don't have this problem when i was with Note 1 ICS. Jelly Bean problem.
there is you have to click the folder icon it will then drop down.

Nope. When I click on show all folders there's no way to see sub folders in the inbox. I have half a dozen client folders in my inbox, and the server sorts new mail into them. The crappy part is I can see them when I go into the folder settings....
Yes it does work

if you haven't done so already, tap the sub-folder you want to sync and use Menu-Sync options to set the sync options; e.g., Peak, Off-peak and Period to Sync Email. it's true they won't appear in your top level inbox, but you should be notified via the notification window. that's the way it works for me. from the notification window, you click the email and it will take you to the folder. i use this setup on my Junk E-Mail folder due to our company's strict filtering process. hope this helps!
EDIT: added screenshot of menu options.
Exchange question, how can I access the contacts that are in Exchange. For example is their a Global Address Seach?

Is there a way to show new email - notification # of new email in sub folders (ex 1 or 2) instead of showing all email # in there?
