[Q] Best email app for G3? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whats your best?

Blue Mail

Just started using Cloudmagic, very impressive!

That's funny.
I was just searching for something to replace yahoo mail, which I've been using for a while but is always buggy.
Last night I was messing around in the play store and came up with blue mail.
It couldn't be easier to set up and so far seems like a good alternative.
I'll give it a day or two and see if I still like it.

I use the stock email apk. It has swipe to delete and is pretty sharp looking. Loaded gone, just search for it in Google.
I would post where I got it but it was so long ago I just have it on my sd card and nice it from device to device.

MyMail is best for me

I tried Nine and its great but dont want to work with all my mail acounts cos its for exchange only, and I'm looking for something similar. Tried everything you posted but thats not the same

k9 mail is the only correct answer.

I use mailbox, quick and clean UI.

Mailwise is my app of choice.

I use the stock app and gmail. Both of them work really well for what I need.

I'm using Nine for my Exchange (resp. active sync) E-Mails and the stock E-Mail App for my freemailer.
Tried CloudMagic but it was not the right app because I wasn't able to change the "sync time window" (last 14 days, last month, ...).

S3's email app is terrible! Alternatives?? please help

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.
Gmail
Its just fine...

Another recommendation...
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.)

I'm going to try and push the SGS2 email.apk and exchange.apk later this evening. Please feel free to try it first if you have access.
I have been using Secure9 Mail for 6 months. And it has built-in encryption (if you want to use it).

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.
p.s. I have the Gmail app, but I need to access my work email somehow.
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.
What is it about the stock SGS3 email app that you don't like?

do you have the apks for AOSP?
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.

Good email client like HTC or iPhone

I love the HTC and iPhone email client, even the stock is is better but Samsung definitely sucks, do you guys know of any? Please don't say k9 the app ui is horrible it feels weird for some reason

I use maildroid. I works really well for me. I would still prefer the iPhone's mail app if I could choose because of better mail search, but maildroid is not bad at all.
Then go buy an htc.

He has a valid point. The TW email app flat sucks. He needs to switch to CM10 or AOKP because the aosp email app is so much better. He can also use root explorer and delete the TW email app and add the one from CM10. This is what I do when running a TW rom.

I personally use Touchdown for my email and the stock for my calendar and contacts. Touchdowns great, as it can sync all of my folders and not just my inbox. It's also got a unified inbox experience for all the folders.
It's a little pricey and I probably wouldn't buy it today, but I got it back at G1 launch when there aren't any other options.

Nexus 7 Kit Kat email replacement

Ok, so ever since kit kat update, the stock email app has become completely useless. The drag and drop feature has been removed and now I cannot delete not move my emails.
My question is what alternatives are worth looking into. I'm dabbling with Aquamail, but it is so focused on multiple accounts that it's features are driving me crazy. Is there anything out there that can match the old stock email app or should I give up on managing my email on my tablet?

I'm not sure what you mean by messed up notification settings, but k9 provides the standard notification options. I get sound, vibration and led notifications without problems.

Woops, I never got notified of this post. My issue with the notification settings was that K9 would never do bulk notifications, only notifications for each and every single email, which drove me nuts.

[Q] Notifications sounds

Ok I'm running 4.4.2 Sickness Version 2 on a fully rooted S4, is there any way to use different sounds for sms, and email?

.... you can change your SMS sounds in the Sounds menu in Settings... As for the e-mail notification sound, that should be somewhere in your e-mail app's settings.
Thanks, I'll look in there while I have this post pulled up
Ok it works if I use the email app to set up Gmail, but can I change the sound in Gmail on the phone? I'm looking right now
Never mind I found that in the gmail app. if you want to reach through the computer screen and Gibbs smack me for asking before looking feel free to do so

I'll put a shout out for Light Flow. It lets you customize notifications in a very detailed way. It started as an LED flash customizer, and built up from there. I've got three Gmail accounts on my phone... each has a unique sound, LED color, and vibration assigned. So, I can hear, feel, and see the different notifiers. Works great if I'm in a meeting with sound and vibrate off for discretion. a quick glance at the phone shows me if I've got an email in to my "important" GMAIL account, and a different color/flash rate if there was a text waiting.
Check it out. There's a "lite" version of the app but I'm a paid user... it's worth every penny.

Light flow, I think I'll download that and check it out
Downloaded it, I stalled it

Hell yea it rocks the only two notifications on my phone now with the sane sound are hand sent sms when I get a text and XDA when I get a notification

Gmail 5.0 anyone?

Has anyone upgraded (via the store) to Gmail 5.0? It's supposed to be rolling out now, I haven't got it yet. But I'm excited to be able to run exchange and Gmail through a single client.
I got it!! Looks amazing its like Inbox but without all the extra BS

It is great, I love it. I never got to use Inbox because my "gmail" is actually my domain with Google apps so I don't really know how inbox is. This new update to gmail is fabulous, looks great, works amazingly well. Love it. Can't way until most apps are utilizing material design...

You only need an invite for Inbox. I really like the GMail update, but Inbox is a new paradigm that matches the way I wanted to use Gmail...so for me I prefer it.

No BJ here from it but I do like it and the new layout thus far.

The new Gmail does support exchange right?
I got an Inbox invite today. Downloaded it, and no exchange support. So I'm not sure I'm going to give it a lot of time for now.
Not really a huge Inbox fan. I love that Gmail added exchange supprt, but the way you switch account is cumbersome.

If anyone has a invite to spare I'd like one. ...just saying, pm me and I'll give you email Tia
Only real issue now is (maybe I'm just missing it) that I don't see a "combined" inbox with all accounts lumped together like Samsung' email client does.

Yup. that is my biggest issue as well. I hope they update it soon. It's a big phone to be crawling up to the top of the screen in order to select a different account. A combined inbox would be ideal, but i would settle with all the accounts listed in the pull out menu rather than just the current box.
