Have been using my Captivate since Sunday. I've loaded up some apps and am really liking the unit. However, the email client (not Gmail) does not appear to support inbound or outbound html support. Did I miss something? Is there a better email client for POP3 use?

Hi,
can anybody recommend an email client, which allows for different SMTP profiles?
All of my emails drop into one single email inbox, which I sync wirelessly to my VDA GPS (Toshiba G710).
I now would like to answer certain emails (from this particulkar inbox) under a different SMTP profile, e.g. this one where the sender really has send the email to (because I am collecting/forwarding all emails to another account).
Can I do this with the original mail client shipped with WM 6.0?
If not, is there another email client which allows this?
Many thanks in advance.
Yea it seems gmail never fails to give me my email notifications right on time, right when I receive mail I get a notification no more then 2 minutes later. But yahoo seems to never update and I get my email like 30 min to a hour later. So this must be droid telling me if I don't have gmail I won't get my notifications on time. Very bias of the android OS. And it sends nobody has a sure
fix for thus as I have searched the forums and have used k9 as well it all fails.

Both GMail and Exchange mail support the feature called Push Email -- it pushes into your phone's inbox as soon as the mail server receives the email.
How do you setup your Yahoo email? I guess you used the POP3 email access which is pretty dumb and doesn't support push email (your phone has to check the mail server every so often to see if there is mail there.
There should be a Yahoo mail app created by Yahoo that also supports push email. You have to use that app in order to get the push email from Yahoo.
Hotmail now also supports push email via Exchange email support. So, no new email app needed.
I have one of my yahoo accounts set up on the yahoo app, but it only allows for one account as far as I know

Then, call Yahoo and ask them to support multiple accounts. Yahoo, Gmail and hotmail all use properitary protocols for their email in addition to support the old POP3 protocol. Gmail and Hotmail have the added advantage of supporting Exchange ActiveSync. So, in order to take advantage of advanced feature like push email, you will need the native client from the respective email provider or use Exchange ActiveSync if there is support for it. It is not any kind of bais in Andriod OS. It is the fault of Yahoo falling way behind the technology curve. POP3 protocol is created like 20 to 30 years ago. Back then, emails often take days to reach the destination.
BTW, the phone's built-in email client only supports 2 Exchange accounts max. I know Gmail client supports multiple gmail accounts as well but not sure how many accounts it can support.
Yahoo does have an app, whether it's any good is a different story. I have tried both, the email app and the messenger app and they are very laggy, almost rendering the phone useless. Then again ymmv
Is there any email client which will display even the images and give me push mail support as opposed to the Exchange client built into android ????? or is there an option on exchange to show the pictures in the messages too ??
Looking for suggestions on what the best email program is for mail received via a POP server? Enhanced Mail? Maildroid?
I am sick of the stock email client randomly deleting messages when downloading with option to leave on server.
Iv'e been using Enhanced Email for a long time now, after i tried all the mail apps i could find.
Kaiten Email is very nice and looks good, but i find it to be to complicated.
MailDroidl is to expencive.
K-9 is free, but not as good as Enhanced Email.
Moxier Mail and TouchDown has many funcitons but is also to complicated like kaiteien.
That's just my opinion ;-)
I'm using the stock email client for Exchange, Yahoo and Hotmail. Emails are being received just fine. But with Yahoo and Hotmail, updates (such as deleting a message or marking it as read) do not get synced back and forth. So if I want to delete a Yahoo or Hotmail message, I always have to delete it both on the phone and then separately from my PC.
There's no way they designed the email client to be that dumb. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I'm getting occasional duplicate emails (same email shows up twice) and at least a few cases where the same email shows up many times (up to 5 copies). Do I just need to go with a different email client?
Stock email client is garbage, I figured I would try it out and was setting it up (we use IMAP) for home accounts and it couldn't even connect to the servers. Just went back to K9 and will never look back, you might just want to switch to another client for sanity sake.
I had the same problems with my pop3 accounts and wound up switching to the stock ICS client.
Why don't you set up your email through Microsoft Exchange Activesync option on the phone.
If you have hotmail or live, server name is m.hotmail.com
