Coming from the Note 7, I really enjoyed the Samsung email app. It allowed me to set a peak and off peak schedule to pull new emails from my work server. That functionality is something I would think all apps would include. The Outlook app doesn't even have it. At least I can't find a setting.
Any suggestion or alternate app that you may fit my needs?

Try Nine. It works very well and even with exchange 2003. You can also set the peek info but you can also change that system wide. I was able to turn on peek for Gmail which didn't work in mm without a custom ROM.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot. Appreciate it.

I will also recommend Nine. It allows you to set your corporate password to app only security. Meaning you can just use a passcode when opening the app, and not just when unlocking.
Thank you both. This was exactly what I was looking for. All set up. I have been looking for something like this for a long time today.

I've been using nine for about 2 yearsish, and I can say after my first 30 minutes with it, I never looked back. Its sad to lose the consolidated view with gmail, but the app container option and retaining device control is certainly worth the tradeoff. The UI is also rock solid, and its fully featured. Integrates with the os nicely as well, so you can still have a unified calendar, and get your personal corporate address book into your phonebook view.

What do people prefer to use as their Email client? I only have GMail accounts but find the App a bit pants.
The HTC app looks OK, as does K9, but not sure about battery use.
Anyone have any preferences?
I wouldn't recommend the HTC email application, as it keeps taking up internal memory, untill you're stuck staring at a memory low message 24/7. You can resolve it by deleting everything and configuring all accounts again though, but I guess most people cba to do that every once in a while. I know I can't.
K9 mail has a large number of users, who swear by it. I on the other hand could not deal with all the settings and ugly interface, which is why in the end I let gmail fetch emails from all of my accounts and label them accordingly. Have had no problems with the android Gmail app whatsoever, I think it works flawlessly.
So, in conclusion, it depends on what you prefer.

IMAP idle doesn't work right with default app and it wreaks havoc on battery syncing every 15 minutes for me. Pity as default mail app has a potential to be really powerful tool.
I use Enhanced Email
love it, only really go it because Improved Email went down the pan and also the Froyo stock email app wouldnt work with hotmail eas.
but enjoy it more than the stock one now
I use the stock mail app (came with redux/and miui, so i guess it's the stock one).

I am doing exactly the same. At the beginning I was using the Sense mail app but always needed to run the gmail app for my googlemail account. Now gmail fetches all my mails and labels them. Had also no issue whatsoever with the gmail app.
But as said before, at the end it depends what you prefer.
The gmail app in ICS added the ability to scroll left/right for the previous/next email. I find this feature to be more annoying than useful.
Most of my emails cannot fit on one screen so I have to scroll left/right to see the entire email. But a lot of times when I scroll, I accidentally scrolled to the previous/next email, rather than the left/right part of THIS email. I find it very hard to stay on this email when I scroll, it's very easy to jump to the previous/next email. I have to scroll very gently and slowly. If I scroll a bit fast, it jumps, if I scroll a bit more, it jumps.
i couldn't agree more. i do so wish i could double-tap to fit the email in the screen.
I prefer it actually. I get mostly promo emails, most of which i dont read and makes for faster flipping through and deleting. The double tap zoom would be nice though
I can't stand it or the ICS email app either one. I can no longer use my me.com (Apple) email address on my phone with ICS. I cannot manually put in the ports and servers and stuff. Works like a champ on GB. And it will not work with the exchange email settings in ICS either. why did they have to **** up something that was working perfectly fine to begin with. Sometimes innovation and change are just done for the hell of it not because it is better!!!!
I hate the gmail noises and always delete it. Use secure9 mail
Backup and uninstall your ICS Gmail app through TB and place this GB Gmail app in system/app.
Here is the apk.
Click Thanks if I helped.

EDIT: Original link UPDATED for GMAIL app.
So I came from the HTC One X to the S3 and it's been a great phone so far. However, the email font size is too big for me and the app isn't so great. So I have been using the stock ICS Email app for a few days now and it's been 100% stable.
If you want an awesome app with Microsoft Exchange, this is for you! I personally have 5 Microsoft Exchange accounts setup with zero issues.
To install the Stock ICS Email app:
1. Root your phone! Clear/Remove ALL email accounts/settings!
2. Download attached EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk
3. Install ES File Explorer and under Root settings, enable Root Explorer and Mount File System.
4. Go to System/App and remove: Exchange.apk, Exchange.odex, SecEmail.apk, and SecEmail.odex then reboot!
5. Optional: Remove Gmail.apk
6. Drop EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk into the System/App folder and reboot!
7. Setup your Exchange accounts and enjoy!

I recommend not using the Gmail email app and just setup your Gmail via Microsoft Exchange and add it to the stock ICS Email app. But if your contacts are with Gmail, then maybe you shouldn't unless you know how to config it separately.
are you having any issues with exchange meeting invites not displaying the meeting times? I get a accept/decline option but it doesn't display the date/time which is annoying. you can accept the invite and then check the date/time on the calendar. I'm currently running aokp for the att s3 which appears to use the default ics email client. thought I would ask before trying the one you posted.
I searched and it looks like a lot of nexus ics users also had this issue. a co-workers nexus running jb displays everything correctly.

Got this done so thanks! I did have some errors but after clearing the application data and setting up the account again it seems to have fixed things other than I show I have one message on the shortcut but nothing is there. Any ideas?
I'm going to let it cycle once by itself to see if it clears up on its own but I'm doubtful.
You mean badges? Stock ICS apps don't have badges
Thanks for reminding me. I edited the post.
Before you move forward, you must clear/remove all of your emails!
Messages you do not, but it wouldn't hurt. I don't though.
Thanks....will try this later today
So does the s3 tw motion control work with stock ics email and messaging apps? Like double tap to top and direct call?

I'm not sure what's putting it there but the icon is definitely getting updated with a message count - even when no messages are there. I used Desktop Visualizer to create a shortcut using a different icon (internet) and it still got the post count added to it. See the attached image for what I'm talking about.
Maybe I'll move the versions from my Nexus over the the S3 and see what happens.
ETA: It must be TW that's adding it because if I fire up Nova and add it the message count isn't there.
Make sure you have Exchange.apk, Exchange.odex, SecEmail.apk, and SecEmail.odex removed. Maybe it's an Exchange badge?

I renamed them by adding a ".sav" to the filename so they shouldn't be impacting things. I'm thinking of updating my Nova launcher to the paid version to see if it behaves the same as TW since it supports badges too.
The only other issue, and I think I had this on my Nexus as well, is that sometimes when I open the app it shows "Loading" and stays there. A reload makes it work properly. Curious.

I'm not sure it makes a difference, but my appts are set up with notifications in the calendar app. I can't help but think a location is required, because the notification is based on whether you need to leave for traffic issues in Google Now. However, the dummy appt I set was located at home, and it popped up.
The GN settings I have are - Card appears for any meeting, and if travel time needed, standard. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your help!
I might try a dummy appt too.
For my settings, I seem to have different options... I have - For any meeting, Only if far away, and In evening for next day. At the moment I only have the first one ticked which I thought would bring up appts regardless of time and travel...

Hi guys, could someone please have a look at our SwitchMe app and see if it works on the Nexus 7 - we dont have one of these at the office and are unlikely to get one any time soon
Basically, SM allows many people to use one device. But it has a lot of other uses. PR is after the break!
Thanks in advance!

SwitchMe - share your device!
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces just as you would on a desktop computer, with each profile having its own separate system settings, apps and data.
Some of the benefits of this technology:
Privacy
Securely share one device among many users, protect your accounts with passwords and log out automatically.
Kids
Create a profile for the kids, with only the apps and access you feel comfortable with.
Gaming
Overclock your profile for maximum performance in intensive games
Speed
Imagine a buttery smooth profile, with no kids games, messengers or bloatware to slow things down.
Testing
Create a sandbox profile to easily test applications and themes - no more nandroid nightmares!
Battery
Switch to a profile which only contains the essentials to save power through brute force.
Critical usage warning:
Incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. Before proceeding with use we strongly recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through the device recovery.
READ THE HELP FILE CAREFULLY TO AVOID ISSUES
Without the Key, this application allows a maximum of 2 profiles and no security features.
Only the standard Android implementation of Apps2SD is currently supported. Use all others at your own risk.
Most devices should be compatible as long as they have enough free internal memory to create secondary profiles. The application will warn users if available memory is low.

I just installed it and went through creating different accounts, setting admin, switching users. I don't have time to test out everything, but it seems to work fine for me.
Working fine for me, been using it for a few weeks now.
I only use the basic settings. If you need anything testing, give me a shout.

Been looking at this app for quite some time but never actually tested it out... now I have a nexus 7 it might be a time to change that.
Firstly what I would want is to set a second profile for my girlfriend, hiding all root apps and giving her a kindle profile etc, the basic stuff. I take it that is what this app is designed to do?
secondly, how does uninstalling this app work?

It all seems to work perfectly for me. Great app. SwitchMe allows me to lend my N7 to family members whilst keeping my profile intact and hidden.
My only suggestion at the moment is to allow a different wallpaper choice for the switch screen. I could then set a background with graphic instructions/welcome messages on it.

1 - yes
2 - uninstalling the app will not remove the profiles. You must manually remove them, either through the app or by deleting its data. The app will warn you that you will lose access to all inactive profiles when deleting them (restricting you to the profile youre in at the moment).

Hello, I'm very interested in this app.
I want to be able to have my own profile and one for my children to play educational games.
I would like to be able to hide applications on that particular profile even if the data is not shared across profiles on the same app.
I would also be concern about the storage. Would they be able to view the files on my sdcard from other profiles? Is there a way to prevent that or allocated some storage space for different accounts?
Also another concern that I have is with Rom updates or even switching roms. In the case I want to just update the rom and at worst I have to do a cache/dalvik cache wipe, would that affect the profiles in any way?
Edit: I just tested and I can view everything on the storage area of the device and further. Also the gallery shows all the photos that stored on the device.
As I said above, the maintenance is up to you. Regarding different roms - you can only use one base from - if you want to use a new one, you will need to remove the app and delete your profiles.
Anything to report?
Hi guys. Heres an update with some critical fixes:
1.5.3.13
Added compatibility for Galaxy Note
Fixed switch screen issue on OTA updates and wipes
Reworked wipe profile behavior
I created a new profile and named it "default". Then I chose to switch to it and my player rebooted. After rebooting though it comes up with a login screen but whenever I put in my name "default" and try to log in it does nothing. I'm completely locked out. Also I did not set any password. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Hello,
First off, I want to say thank you for creating this app. It has been working great for my family to share our N7.
I'm familiar with linux, but I am not familiar with Android. So I have a couple questions.
1. I installed an app(game) in the wrong user's profile. My son made alot of progress in it and I don't want to lose it. Is there a way to copy an app and all of its data from one profile to another?
2. If I download a new app in one profile is there a way to copy it to multiple profiles without having to redownload it again. Could this be done through ADB?
3. If I wanted to wipe the tablet and start over will doing a backup with TiBu copy all the data for every user or do I need to do a separate backup for each user?
Thanks for your help,
Chris
Been using it ever since I got my Nexus 7, works great for my wife and I.
I haven't tried the experimental fast-switch though, maybe I should.
My only recommendation is to set the priority on the notification to one of the new JellyBean ones, the lowest. That way it will stay in the notification tray, but won't show the icon on the top bar. That's something Lux and Battery Widget Reborn do really well. It still keeps the apps running, just doesn't crowd the bar with icons.

Fast switch will only affect things like multiple languages, multiple lcd densities and and other framework related stuff. Just try it, it wont make your device explode.
Regarding the notification. It is not there to keep the app in memory, its there for logging out. App doesnt need to be in memory, it will work just fine with no notification at all.
