Morning all,
Just a quick question, im about to try a non sense based rom but will need to use an exchange email app, Ive been using HTC mail app
for exchange and its brilliant, is there an alternative on non HTC roms?
Thanks
Andy
K9Mail is a good mail app
or
AquaMail
or
MailDroid
They're all on the play store and I'm sure all have free versions so test them all and decide yourself?
Hope this helps.
Thanks ive used all of these for gmail previously but didnt think they worked with exchange server?

Email download is a pain ... is there any way I can speed this up? Used to be blazing fast on the WinMobile Omnia, how can it be that with Galaxy I have to wait for minutes? Thank you.
Take care,

Same issue here...
You could use Gmail. It´s very fast, at least it feels much faster (downloading attachments and even open mails) than the pop/imap mail client of the SGS.
gmail seems slow. i hit refresh and it wont show me the new mail for almost a minute, even on a fast wifi connection. dunno whats up with that.
install the one click lag fix discussed in the rom development thread. or search market place for the "lagfix".
all slow issues in email resolved.
if ur having slow email after that... well i have no idea? my hotmail exchange works fine and quite speedy... except for the fact the default email app doesnt render html
I'm using this K9-mail app. Pretty fast.
Profi Mail from LCG is coming soon to Android.

wow.. thanks.. used it and true... blazing fast.. just deleted the default mail of SGS lolz
K9 beats any email clients ever made for android and it's free!
I installed k-9 mail. How to stop the stock gmail and email client of SGS and make k-9 as default email client ?
And does it support hotmail and yahoo ?

Just delete all the accounts in the default email client.
And in gmail, settings-> e-mailnotification. Unmark it.
the fastest one is "Samsung Push Email & IM"
then comes Gmail from Google Apps
K9 is good, but it's slow compared to both of the above
Combination of "One click lad fix" and "k9" will all email issue.

The stock doesn't have copy paste or search capabilities...
Any way to load the HTC email client ?

the htc mail client is made to function with a sense enabled rom w/ sense features. cm6 is not sense in anyway and usually any htc apps will result is a fc everytime you try to open it. try mail droid or something.
OK so what is the advantage of running CM6 over say vael or baked?

The latter 2 are still Sense Roms. Vael just strip all (most) of the Sense. There is no way now to get the HTC mail program to work with CM6(I know as I have tried multiple times). Your best bet is try K-9 mail (which is great). Or you need go back to a Sense Rom. All the Roms are Sense except CM6 and SuperEVO. Be aware that some of these Roms does not have the HTC mail program anymore, but since they are Sense Rom all you do is find the HTC mail.apk and install it.

Does k-9 work with exchange? I tried setting it up giving me errors.
Also is it still push email ?
I never tried it with exchange so I am not qualify to answer that. It doesn't do push email yet but neither does the android email or the htc mail. All of them are timed polling. The only one that does push email is the stock gmail app. I email myself and gmail is almost instant but of course it doesn't help if you have other email accounts. For me its the best option right now. Its free so can't hurt to try it out.

Just FYI, Both stock and htc mail will do push email on exchange.
K9 does Push email, if you're connected to an IMAP server that supports the IDLE extension.
For hotmail account, do you guys use the native email app or use hotmail app from android market??
which one is better??
thanks guys!!
I use the stock email app myself, much prefer it! It also lowers the number of email apps you need to have installed.

does it drain battery since its in the running services all the time?
Hi, I've google searched looking for a decent email recovery app. I have a yahoo account but the official app has been getting gradually worse. I've tried K9 and similar apps but they put all the junk and spam into my inbox whereas the Yahoo app automatically does it. I have played around with the settings on the apps but cannot see how to sort the spam/junk from my inbox stuff. That is essentially what I am looking for. Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you trie MailDroid?
Hi,
I'm currently setting up my old Desire (stock running 2.2.2) for my father, who uses a hotmail account. He has got lots of folders/filters, so I think it would be a big job to migrate it all to a Gmail account.
I've read a number of posts about there being a bug in the HTC mail.apk that prevents active sync from working. The solution in most of the posts I've found was to install a newer version of the default mail app. However, most of these posts are quite old and the links no longer work.
Does anyone have activesync working on a stock Desire running Froyo, and have the mail.apk (or current link to it) that I need to get activesync working? Alternatively, has anyone gotten K9 mail working for hotmail (using activesync, not pop3)?
Thanks in advance for any help!
I do think the stock email.apk app (and possibly exchange.apk) from AOSP for 2.2 did work on the htc desire - but I ended up using Enhanced Email from the play store instead and stuck with it.
I heard another very similar bug with the htc sensation ICS mail.apk app recently so I am still glad I stuck with Enhanced Email personally - hotmail eas been working ever since they released it!
sorry if it doesnt help much with your issue
Thanks. I've managed to find the 2.2 ASOP mail.apk eventually. It is actually working as well. Unfortunately it is somewhat limited in that it doesn't notify you about new mail in different folders.
Thanks!

Consider Enhanced email anyway then... There's a trial in the forum too
