Best Unified Inbox Push Email App?

Currently I use the Samsung Social Hub Email app.
Are there any alternatives that also support push notification, unified inbox and mark your emails as read back at the source?
It would have to support both Hotmail and Gmail for me to use it.
Thanks in advance!

that is the one i use on a daily basis, i have not been able to find a better one that pushes the mail to you
but K9 is a very good alternative for Polling intervals mails

it doesnt have unified inbox.. but i just got the beta of profimail www.lonelycatgames.com.. i used to always use this on symbian.. it is ultra fast.. compared to any other android as it truly only downloads headers.. ie 2000 message headers in seconds..
ui is a bit dated.. but i will use this to replace k9 mail.. everyone should give it a look.

You all should try and shove the email app from the galaxy tab into your system apps folder and see how you like it! its only for 2.2 though!

Hmmm... After looking at the SEVEN UI, doing a bit of reading and discovering that SEVEN typically works with hardware manufacturers to create customized version of their mail client for said manufacturer... I'm pretty sure that the stock email client that comes with the SGS is actually a customized version of SEVEN.
Mind asplode!

Hi,
Yeah i can see the "To" but if i click it or in the box it does nothing. Surely i dont have to start to type the name in and then click it?

Thats exatually what you do
select the box and start type the name of your contact
What else would you do ?

Every phone ive ever had including the galaxy s2 when you clicked in the to box it would bring uo your contact list letting you choose the contact.
Matt

You can also go to the contact list and choose to text
Go to Phone Icon > People tab, then click on the left box where their photo is.
Then on the right side of the phone number is an icon i can't describe, but that lets you text.

yeah many phones do that
But i would always search in the list anyway so for me this is a step less

Does anyone dislike the Email on the SGIII as much as I do?

Or is it just me? Every email I open that has pictures or graphics I have to scroll to the bottom and click on "Load More Details".
I really like the email in the Nexus Roms or the CMxx Roms - they ask at the TOP if you want to show pictures and then if you want them to be shown all the time. That is what I would like to have. Any idea where/how one could accomplish this?
I have tried virtually all of the email clients in the Play Store and really do not care for them fro one reason or another. I even have $16-17 invested in a few of them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ted

I purposely use Gmail for everything. Just goes hand in hand with android. I actually freeze email and exchange apk.
Have you tried enhanced email from market?
Sent front my SGS3 Epic 4GLTE Touch

If you use Gmail, you can just press "show pictures" at the top if it doesn't show them by default. It will remember your preference for that person.
Gmail also has a better theme and is generally better than than most, if not all, email clients.
If you don't use a google account for email, I believe you can set google up so it receives email from a certain address and you can send outgoing email from that address.

My biggest complaint is that Samsung put all of the controls (reply, forward, etc) at the top of the screen which makes one hand operation a challenge. I have big hands and still have trouble reaching the controls. I replaced Samsung email/exchange with the stock ICS versions on my E4GT for the same reason. I might do the same on this one as soon as I flash a custom ROM.

It's sad that it's as bad as it is, since the stock app for the SGS2 was so nice.

also, it doesn't play well with Office 365

That's the issue I'm having with the stock app too. Loading details for pics and graphics is crazy. Their should a option to autoload or the link to load should be at the top of the email

On all of my android phones I was never a fan of the stock email app when getting my work email. I then found out of about Touchdown. Its a great app to get exchange emails on.
I do like using the gmail app though.

You can not embed images in k9 or touchdown so for the way i see it that would be a downgrade

What are you settings? I have mine set to show images and it still doesn't. Can you screen cap your settings?

I really prefer the gmail app. You can forward most other email address to your google account. I know I did that with my work email so I could get them on my phone while I was in the field.

Forward with files checked, show images checked, auto download attach on wifi checked, size to recieve all, (thats an exchange account my gmail account is set to 100 kb) those are the only important settings if your using a pop3 account that might be why your having an issue. Even my gmail is set to imap.

i use the inverted gmail app

In the browser mode of gmail you have to change the settings of gmail to imap. Its set to pop3 by default.

I have never ever had a problem with Gmail.
It's just so good!

Gmail is really good especially since its push email to our phones but it lacks the ability to embed images which i have to use the stock email app for work account anyways and id rather be able to embed images than have push. Thats just my preference.

To set up notifications for new Tweets from selected accounts:
Go to the account's profile on the app.
Tap the gear icon located next to the follow button.
From the pop up menu that appears, select Turn on notifications. You can only adjust notifications for accounts that you follow.

iOS has it for sure, I use that as my text tone on iOS. On topic, try what's already been suggested about the settings in the app OP. I haven't used Android in a while, so I can't be too sure if that's the only thing you need to change.

Sorry, that Twitter page was the extent of my expertise. What app are you running. Twitter, Tweetcaster, bla bla,
I would search the store for an app that has the functionality you are looking for.

Email apps

What's everyone use for email other then Gmail and inbox??? I'm using nine now but will have to use something different because i don't think it's worth the 9bux.

I use bluemail for my exchange email

alto mail

using Newton for exchange email. honestly everything else feels incomplete - Newton has the feel of a polished iOS app. Gmail and the official Outlook app both had issues with push service not working - i'd only get new emails if i refreshed the inbox
having said that, Newton is yearly subscription for $50, so it's more than justifiable for me in a work capacity

I'm using aquamail and love it. I have it configured for exchange and Gmail. Interface is good and intuitive with great support for composing emails with attachments and pulling contacts from exchange server whether it's personal or from the GAL.

Trying aqua but it's not working with my work email

If you haven't already tried, you might have to set up a work exchange account manually. A lot of workplace and institutional exchange accounts use specific servers (not the generic Exchange or .live domain), ports, security, etc.
In most instances I've had to enter the smtp server manually, with the correct port and what not. This goes for several occupations I've had and even while I was attending school. You might be able to grab the settings logged into your exchange email at work or just hit up your IT guy and he should be willing to set it up for you.

Hmm.. There must be an option during setup that some apps might have and others don't. Shame, it's a nice email app...

I use Type Mail which used to be called Blue Mail.
I originally installed Blue Mail.
Then one day it updated itself via the Play Store updates and was suddenly "Type Mail".
Oddly enough, it looks like Blue Mail is still out there and being updated.
So IDK what happened there.
Both LOOK like the same exact app.
---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------
This thread made me finally get off my butt and email Type Mail with a support question:
Hi Folks,
First, I have a question. This was originally Blue Mail and then changed it's name to Type Mail overnight. But Blue Mail is still available on the Play Store. Are you the same app?
Okay, here is my issue that I hope you can help me with.
And I've had this issue on two phones, two OS's so far.
A Moto X Pure on Lollipop and now a Google Pixel on Nougat.
I did not have this issue on Marshmallow.
So, I disable "Battery Optimization" from TypeApp.
But Type App still seems to go into too deep a sleep?
If the phone has been sleeping for an hour and someone sends me an email, then Type App will not recognize that email and wake the phone.
It seems to only poll for email once every couple hours or something?
I've always used the "push" option when given a chance.
Thanks for the great app, please let me know if there is anything that can be done to ensure I am notified of emails more quickly.

Despite my email to them, I highly recommend Type App if you like lots of customization options.

Technically, I think the thread goes in Q&A since it's a question.
Themes is more for where you go to post themes for download or mention how much you like a theme/app.

Used to use Blue mail but moved over to Aqua it works great. You should really check their privacy statements and judge for yourself, that is the reason I switched.

I actually moved from Aqua to Blue because Blue worked better with Push notifications.
How is Aqua & Push doing for you? I have hotmail/live/yahoo/gmail accounts.

I use it for all the same types of accounts except for Gmail and the push is working fine via IMAP. What I like is the ability to use an email alias within the Aqua app, paid version of course.
