Hi,
I have already tested few mail app ( the stock one, the message 1.0.0024 coming from HTC I think and touchdown)
I am looking for a free app which would be able to :
* retrieve mail from an exchange server, Touchdown and message are good . The stock app give me error message half of the time.
* set an automatic synchronisation on the inbox and on a selected lists of subfolder. Touchdown is ggod for that
* handle the inbox tree in a non totally stupid way ( stock app is ordering by name !!! and I can't figure out the order from message 1.0.0024 ... maybe by date of creation or depending on the age of the captain). Touchdown is good for that
* display correctly the html mail with array ( only touchdown does it even if it doesn't allow to reply to nice html mail .... it will put the mail in attachment !!)
* be quick. Touchdown is extremely slow. Maybe it has to do with the lag of the SGSbut it's definitely slower than the 2 other app ( but better looking)
* nice to have : handle also different mail account like hotmail
For the moment, Touchdown is the best choice but I can use everyday a mail app which can take 20 sec to open a mail and an other 20 to delete it.
Any other idea ?
Thanks
try k-9 mail
Thanks for your post ... it makes me try one more time to setup K9 with exchange
And it seems to work.
At least I have some mail and part of my folder.
will check out their wiki to see how to configure the folder. It seems quite complicated but quite flexible.
For information I had a wrong webdav patch before
Ok so I sepnt at least an hour on the wiki and I can;t find why I can't see any subfolder !
I can see the inbox, the sent item, the contact, the calendar, the spam ... but no subfolder onf the inbox
Any idea ??
Thanks
i just read a bunch of reviews on it but no real "how-to", I'm buying my Samsung Vibrant tomorrow and I plan to get this app so I'll play around with it and see if I can get it setup right
Isnt K9 taking too much space and that too on the internal mem. needs an sd storage properties for mails/data.
Is there an app which does so.

Hi!
I would recommend Improved Email by mtwebster, I do believe it will be to your satisfaction, works with all kind of email, with it you could also accept/decline meeting invites from exchange, been using it for some time now and I'm very happy with it.
All other email apps I tried had problem with at least on of the account types; pop3, imap, gmail or exchange but not this one.

I am testing as well... i want to access company mails mainly (ok, contacts and calendar would be great too, but it's not essential) and three imap accounts. What i have tried so far:
- stock: works, but forces me to enter a security code (triggered from exchange server admin). Besides that, the stock app doesn't have any settings to change preferences on imap servers (folder location, etc.), therefore a no-go.
- k-9: i am using k-9 mail for all my imap accounts, works like a charm, i can point to the correct folders (for sent mails, spam, etc.), but i can't get exchange to work, although i tried various options from their wiki.
- touchdown: i tried this app as well, works very well. As i am using exchange 2007, it shows only new and unread mail, no old mail. Besides that and the fact that it seems to be rather slow (and expensive for this poor performance), it would be my first choice.
Any other suggestions (or hints, how to get k-9 exchange work or touchdown faster) would be really appreciated.
All the best,
ww
P.S. i9000 froyo jpo.
I am using moxier mail. A bit expensive bit does the job. I mainly bought it to have access to my company GAL. It syncs mails, calendar, contacts and tasks but not notes.

Is Moxier mail synching contacts with pictures or without? I think, i will give it a try although there is no demo version... but i have 24 hours to test it
Greetings,

P.S. maybe i will give the modified stock email.app a try... seems that one xda user has removed the security addons... more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007

I tried improved email. It's pretty good except that the email I sent via it is in 1 long line when viewed in the outlook client.
I don't know what you are doing but the stock email app has none of the problems you describe with outlook.
- I have never had an error downloading a message. I use Push for delivery. (other options have battery drain issues), so you don't have to "schedule" a sync since it is always in sync
- Messages are sorted in recieved order for me
- Images in HTML emails I have no issue with
In short - I think the stock email app works perfect with outlook, in fact it is better than the Microsoft Outlook mobile I used to have in WM 6.5.

For my country, no version is available - beta versions seem to be very buggy. I am testing moxier right now - looks quite nice for the first hours...
Okay, it is just for exchange, but it is working fast and almost without any errors - for all other mail accounts i am still using k-9.
Allt the best,

You forgot the new security settings (which means, if your exchange admin turns on the "use a pin to secure your phone" feature). After i tried the stock mail app of froyo, i had to turn pin code on screen lock on. Besides that, the system never managed to sync more than 100 contacts - therefore the stock app personally is a no-go.
All the best,

Dunno why but for some reasons, the stock email app will FC when opening certain emails, especially those with alot of frames.
On my side I use touchdown (and old version that i "found" ;-) on the net) because I need to have access to the GAL.
Had no issue with it except that it is slow.
If the stock mail app would have supported GAL i would not really had looked other mail app.
Doing so, if a free app would support GAL i would switch!
Is there a good alternative to the Gmail app? I need support for threaded view, and must be able to view messages when offline.
I have my personal Gmail account synced to the Gmail app, but I also want to see my company email (which uses Gmail as a back end) in an app. Don't want to mix business with private emails though.
At the moment I access company mail through the browser interface which isn't optimal.
Thanks!
You can try K-9 mail app

Doesn't support threaded view.
U can use the default exchange mail app. Just setup as IMAP account.
Have tried a lot of different mail clients, but ended up using K9.
K9 do not have the most sexy GUI and I hate the icon even I know why devs keep on to it ... but honestly ... come on a head of a robot dog LOL
It have some smal bugs, but all together the best mail client I have tried until now.
I actually likes it so much that I contributed with a Danish translation.
BTW its open source and its possible to download latest version from http://code.google.com for free
Best mail client is Maildroid:

Better than K9 and does support threaded view.Just try it...

Thanks, have tried it and it's not bad. The threaded view is a bit cumbersome though, it groups messages correctly, but you need to exit each message to view the next instead of just scrolling down. Will keep it though.
Wish I could duplicate the Gmail app actually, or even better port the Mail app from iOS.

Why don you use default samsung email? It can be set as pop3 or imap. Can create multiple account on it.
Why don't you use Gmail?
If you have two Gmail accounts just add them both to your phone. Your mail won't mix, you'll just have to select the account you'll use in the upper left corner.
Or you can use the default Samsung app like anlimdy22 suggested.

Honestly, couldn't get that to work - just forced closed time and time again, and when it did work it couldn't verify the settings (the very same ones that K-9, Maildroid and the Gmail app could). Better apps are usually available externally

You're right, I assumed that it would mix emails from both account but it actually works well. Can't say I think the system to switch between accounts is the smoothest possible, but usage-wise it's still the best experience I've found. Thanks.

Yes, K-9 is powerful and feature-rich but I just prefer the Gmail app. The threaded view alone is worth it. Each to their own though!

Turn off word suggestion in Swype, it will help you to edit mail in default email app.
On the subject, the stock GMail app is the worst client I've ever seen. No multi touch is a PITA. The stock email app is good, still not the very best out there. Tried almost all the clients, Maildroid and all, yet to find one which suits my need, K9 was good, maybe I've to try it again.
Its really unbelievable that the client in iOS I used 3 years back was way better than all of these in Android!!!

Actually, I'd say the iOS Mail app is still better - where better, for me, means easier to use. Swipe-to-delete alone makes it a winner.
Yes, that's correct. Simplicity of using is way beyond everything.
Anyway started using K9 again, nice, but I couldn't get the idea of getting 'Message Sent' confirmation/notification! I guess it was present before or am I missing something...!

Hello everyone,
My dad has purchesed the new nexus 7 and he's very pleased.
since he's eyesight is not what it used to be
he bought the new nexus 7 so he could read emails in landscape mode (wide view)
and he wants to see the mail message on the whole screen.
Too bad in the gmail application you see on the far left side all the other messages taking about a 1/4 of the screen
size.
is there a way to disable it or use a 3rd party application so my dad could see he's emails in full screen?
Also,
Since i'm new to tablets how do you use the gps nevigation,
I mean there is no 3g so I cant use waze and so on.
Would be helpful to understand how can we use the gps to nevigate while driving.
thanks alot you guys!
You could install an offline map. I use OSmand, an open-source map, which means that it tends to have a lot more detail than proprietary maps. It includes maps for the whole world but you need to pay if you need more than 8 installed. It also includes navigation, setting your own POIs, a Wikipedia layer if you have enough storage space, etc.

The other question regarding gmail landscape view?
this is our main concern.

Once the maps are installed it does only use GPS.

I don't use third-party mail apps. But any mail app should be able to retrieve mail from Gmail, either as a POP3 or IMAP client. I suggest you search the Play Store for "email" then do a Google search for "Gmail POP settings".

use IMAP not POP for battery saving

andOSM is good, and allows for caching. I also highly recommend Orux maps if you want to do treking etc it is my favourite.
E-mail App's I recommend k9 mail (it is FL/OSS - and support a bunch of cool features) You can change font sizes etc within it. Also don't use POP3 for collection in gmail. Turn on IMAP and use that instead - as it allows push notifications and you won't each up your battery with having to check with the server if mail has arrived as you would using pop3.
The OP said, "My dad has purchased the Nexus 7" so I recommended POP settings...

K9-Mail has everything full screen in landscape and you can set font sizes for everything too. You can turn off the split screen in settings.

Lol guys... None of those suggestions is an "alternative app". Two restatements of what he wants to avoid. One statement of a website, not an app!
I myself don't use an email app alternate.
But I like aCalendar+ from app store. It jives with my needs (not a super complicated schedule,) and I use the app for events I plan to attend and appointments. Reminders work well.

I'm using Nine for email, as I have many rules setup for organization but needed an "All Mail" view. For Calendar, I'm just using GMail and APW. I've always used TouchDown when not on HTC devices (HTC has a well built email app of their own that has an all mail view), but decided to give Nine a go with the Pixel and am not disappointed in the least.

Type App for email and Event Flow for the calendar.
TypeApp for email. Google calendar because I haven't had any issues with it.
Nine for exchange email for work, gmail for personal email and Business Calendar 2 for all my calendars. I love that calendar program, have used it for past few years.
lemmings love jumping off cliffs..why...everyone else is doing it..
I use Inbox for email and, even after years of using a smartphone, I've still never had a reason to even use a calendar lol
I use Google Calendar and AquaMail.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Try Google's inbox for mail, works really well.
I always try new calendars (and always go back to Google's). give cal calendar or Sol calendar a try.
I use Bluemail. Very feature rich.
I use Boxer email, can view all my email amounts in one combined email and has the option to mark emails as read from the notification (a rare option in a lot of email apps). For calendar I use the Google calendar but interact with it using the "Calendar Widget:Month" widget using a Google theme.
I like both Gmail and calendar, but use APW for my calendar widget
Besides an Xposed mod, which we can't do yet, is there another way to bypass it? Maybe even a different app to setup the exchange account for email? IDK. I hate the restrictions tho lol.

Is this a corporate account? If so I recommend accepting the restrictions and security. If it's your personal account then I know there was an app I used on my S7 that could bypass it I just can't remember the name (not helpful I know).
There's an app called Nine that can apply the security policy at the app level instead of the entire device. It's a paid app and somewhat expensive, I've been using it for years and it works really well.

The app Mailwise does what you are looking for, and it's not too bad of a mail app, either.
I had the same issue, our IT people required remote wipe ability, and obscenely long password requirements just to unlock the screen.

I've been using Nine since my company moved us to a hosted exchange. Don't remember how much it cost me, but definitely worth looking into.
I second the usage of mailwise. it's a pretty good mail application generally speaking..
Mailwise for me too. http://mail-wise.com/faq/#bypass
Oh man, I'm in the same boat. The Exchange security settings for one of my client email accounts is obnoxious. If I enable the account on my phone it will no longer let me use a swipe pattern or pin to unlock the phone. It only lets me use a password. The password also has to have at least four digits, one #, and at least one capital letter. It's absolutely ridiculous. Fingerprint still works, at least. But that's annoying when my phone is on my desk.
So I don't even bother enabling that exchange account on my phone. Instead, I discovered Newton Mail (play store link) a few months back. This has become my go-to email/calendar solution on both my phone and new Windows 10 machine. It's a fantastic email/calendar app that's extremely fast and has material design for Android and fluent design for Windows 10, so it flows really well with both platforms.
The only downside to this is I can't rely on Google calendar on my phone since it won't show meetings/reminders for this Exchange account, since I refuse to enable it within the system. But I've learned to use the calendar built into Newton Mail, which is actually pretty excellent. It even works with the new Google widget for the Pixel 2/2 XL. The widget updates with the upcoming event just like it would with Google Calendar. And clicking the event opens up that specific event in Newton.
I highly recommend giving Newton a try. Especially if you also use a Windows 10 machine.
Thanks for the replies everyone! I'll try some of these suggestions, much appreciated! For the users that have nine, does the calendar show in Google calendar or do you have to go into that app to see it?

Nine is just an email client (like Newton Mail). It doesn't communicate with the Google Calendar app on your phone. It has its own calendar baked in.

Just installed Nine to handle my exchange account. It immediately started syncing to the Google calendar. So happy to be able to use Google Calendar again, now that I can truly see all my events in it.
Nine is the best.
If it is just for the ActiveSync policies, the Exchained app can bypass those and let you keep using gmail.
any update on this guys?
