Having come from a Blackberry and being frustrated with the Android mail experience (yes I tried all the other 3rd party stuff and they are crap), the Mail app in 4.3 is a big improvement.
The 4.4 stock email app is even better.
It has that slick UI in a very Google like style.

That does look like the google mail app with those big squares. I don't really get the value of the big square with one letter in it.
It's the capital letter of the senders name.

4.2 Email app also supported imap, but didn't support push. It was just able to check every few minutes, and that' no real push.

Then I'm sorry, I thought IMAP has no querying period, only POP3 does. Maybe I'm wrong, but I was able to set up stock email with GMail via IMAP and new messages were synced with the phone immediately. Now I use GMail app and disabled stock E-mail so cannot test it...
It works with exchange activesync?

I've always used K9 mail because the 2.x stock Gmail app wasn't that good, but I'm really liking the ICS Gmail app. Only problem is push mail doesn't work. I tried the stock Email app too and that's not working either. I would hate to have to use K9 with a great stock app, but I really want push mail to work. Any suggestions?
I did a brief search and didn't come up with anything useful so sorry if I missed a known fix for this.

Sync is on for both of my Google accounts and still no push mail. I flashed the Android Revolution Hd ROM but I don't think that would have anything to do with it.

I've been using gmail perfectly fine for over 2 years now. Push has always worked for me. From an OG Droid, to Nexus S, to Galaxy Nexus.
Working great for me; I can hear my computer ding when I get a new email at virtually the same time my phone does, so I am satisfied that push mail is working.
Weird part is that I've never had an issue getting push mail through K9. It works on and off with the stock Gmail app.

Well good chance it is, since push mail works perfectly on stock. I have 2 Gmail and 1 regular email account set up in the Accounts section and all of them work perfectly.
Probably is the ROM. I don't really need push mail until I'm back in school anyways so I'm not gonna worry about it too much.

Riiiiiiight, so you flashed a custom ROM on your phone and so it must be Google's fault that push email isn't working for you, when it is working for everyone who is running stock ICS? Yeah of course

K9 uses IMAP_IDLE for 'push email', whereas the Gmail app (from what I had read back when I first got an Android in 2009) uses it's own method for push email. It may even use C2DM. This may explain why you are not having trouble with K9, but are having trouble with the proper Gmail app.
It does seem to be the custom ROM you have flashed.

I liked the stock email app on the galaxy S2, I figured that once I got my s3 that email would be similar, but it's not, it is much much worse. Is there any way to install the old mail app from the S2 on the S3?
I have tried the alternative email programs from the play store and I just don't like them.
Please help!
Thanks a million.
Enhanced Email...
I may not be correct, but.... I believe the GS2 used an email program built by Seven.
You may look and find an apk for Seven email+IM that should be similar. I personally cannot find a download link for it.
If you go their website, they do have a BETA Android program. http://community.seven.com/download.php Again, not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but may be worth a shot.
Edit: It appears they abandoned Android in the last year or something and the only client they currently are shown as making is the one for Hotmail's Android client. Sorry.

K-9 Mail is IMO a good email client. I don't know if it's one of the alternatives you tried and didn't like.
It's larger that Enhanced Email, but cheaper... (free)...
I'm new or I'd post a link to the Play store.
(I have no affiliation with K-9 Mail whatsoever.)

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've tried all the free email apps on the play store and none of them really did it for me. Finally tried enhanced email too and that is a step in the right direction, hopefully I don't have any troubles from it.

Try touchdown by nitrodesk. It's one of the best

Only one I found I liked was Inomail,
What about the AOSP Google email? I think it looks great and works very well.
yea if you need to check an exchange acct at work I usually go between nitrodesk touchdown and moxier mail. One of those should be perfect for you I prefer touchdown really.

the rom NoAOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759245
uses the email client from google nexus; a user there said it was the only email client they've used on the S3 that allowed them to connect to their work email.
perhaps download that rom, open the zip with 7zip and pull out the email.apk and put it on your phone.
try to install it normally, if not you may have to copy it to system/app with root explorer (reboot afterwards)
might be worth a look

In the SGS2 email you could make it inverted and control font size from the app.
I pushed the old app every way i could. No joy. May try a flashable zip, but I can't see that making much difference... I guess it would have to be ported.
If I try to video chat with new app and hangup before they answer my phone reboots. Anyone else have this issue?

Confirmed on stock official at&t ROM. If a video call is ended before the other person answers phone stops responding and has to be powered down. My Nexus 7 does not appear to have the same issue though so let's hope the update comes soon.

Hangouts has already replaced talk, and I personally think it's loads better, if only more people used it I would definitely consider it a possible whatsapp replacement.
I don't have any issues with the app as some of you have experienced. (xperia s with jb .197)
The real question is, what will happen to g+ messenger? As we now have 2 messaging apps from Google.

It has replaced it, yeah, but you can still use the old Gtalk if you want.
G+ messenger will be gone with the new G+ update.
I used google talk a lot for work, so was kind of worried about this change overall...as i don't use G+ for anything (nor fb for that matter), but also liked how google talk on my phone, and gmail's browser conversation thing sync'd easily...
as far as the android hangouts app, whatever...it works, didn't really care what it looked like...but i will say the chrome extension for hangouts is much better than how gmail integrated. I can now have any number of my work/home machines connected to hangouts without having gmail opened. Not sure if this is how G+ worked before, as I wasn't going to bother using that.
I'm still learning it...but also prefer how hangouts doesn't seem to be archived into gmail automatically...you can set it up to do that, but it doesn't just default to dumping a pointless 3 line conversation into 'all mail'...I know you were able to change all that with google talk, just didn't feel like messing with it.
So whatever in my case...its definitely not worse for me. The bigger problem still is, and always will be, the trends of what people use. I still get numerous fb messages a week despite it being obvious that i'm never on there...then border line threats for ignoring someone haha.
LG Optimus G PRO email stock app sucks! Can HTC one be fitted?
Hi guys, I'm newbie here, and I'm writing from Spain, so at first sorry for my english.
Well, I've just bought a LG Optimus G PRO yesterday, and noticed that the email stock app is more bad than expected.
i was wondering if it's possible to install the stock mail app from HTC ONE (M7) with the sense 5.0 skin.
If yes, I would be glad if someone know how to do and I can pay with paypal for this job.
Loads of alternatives in play store. I actually think its a good app.

Not sure if that can be done but like the other guy said there's tons of alternatives. I use Y Mail for my Yahoo account, GMail for my GMail account, and the stock mail app for my account provided by my cable internet provider. I wasn't a big fan of the stock mail app on my HTC One X+ though I'm sure it's probably changed a bit since then. Good luck!:fingers-crossed:
