Hi,
I just found this app to manage the email and looks better than the stock one.
My only problem is the conversation threads style of gmail, it doesn't appear on k9 so I have 20 different emails for one thread, does anyone know a way to group conversations in k9 like in gmail?
I know this app from G1. It's so old... I do not think, that k9 has anything more then stock gmail app. Also I do not think, that this app is still developed. I think, that your problem with mails thread comes from incompatibilities with 2.1 system (k9 comes from 1.1 times).

Hi
K9mail is a powerfull app download latest version from dev website at google code or use atrackdog to go there
Latest version 2510
k9mail seems to sync my emails (and delete them) via IMAP better than the nexus stock app
Yeah, I think k9 blows away stock app, I've been using it for over a year now. But to answer the initial question, no way to thread conversations.
Is K9 still better than stock if your using gmail?
What about search funtionality, I doubt k9 can beat the stock mail clients ability to server side searches back as far as you have mail, I didnt think pop or imap support this? or am I wrong?
i use stock for gmail, and k9 for all other imap accounts.

If you are using Gmail, no... K9 is probably not better than stock.
In fact, I used to (on my G1) use K9 for several of my alternate accounts, one is a straight up @gmail.com account - another is a Google Apps for Domains account. But, now that I can sync multiple Google Accounts on my Nexus, I am only using K9 for my ISP's account. The functionality that the built in Gmail app provides is superb (in my opinion), as mentioned by the OP the threading of conversations makes it very easy to navigate a larger inbox.
Does K9 have "real" push, I want to use it but I don't want it to kill battery faster than stock GMail apps and it REALLY need to start threading!
So wonderfully helpful ...
k9 is slow.. profimail on symbian is way faster.. unfort.
i tried to email them suggestions but they ignored me..
one reason it is so slow is it is not keeping track of highest message id per mailbox.. so everytime you connect it is redownloading the last 25 messages or whatever amount you have it set to.
the second reason is that it is downloading entire messages.. it really only needs to download headers, and keep a connection to server open while you are in the app and then download the body when you goto a message.
if they would implement these 2 changes it would be light years faster.

Any ideas?
Yes, it supports the IMAP "IDLE" command, which gives you what you're calling "push" (rather than polling for email). The latest K9 also supports the "COMPRESS" extension, which transfers compressed versions of the content, which means less data usage, and less transmit/receive time.
and latest version 3.312 supports "Storage location"
- regular internal storage
- external storage (sd card)

Nice, a great app just got better.
Just checked the market and the latest version is 3.207. Where are you seeing 3.312?
Edit 2: Didn't release K9 is open source, very nice.http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/downloads/list

yeah, I always stick to their code.google.com...releases, almost every couple of days a new one, quite impressive workers!! I havent used android default email app since,.... I dont know
Should sticky this, this app is awesome and with push and SDCARD saving all the email, even better.
..as I said, ipressive workers, update out k9-3.313-release.apk
I finally got sick of my iphone 4 and decided to give the captivate a try. So far I've been pleasantly surprised on how much I actually like the phone. It will be great once the chefs actually start making some roms for it.
So I've had my phone for 3 days and I cannot get exchange to push to it. When I open the email program and hit refresh, it works fine. Just not the push. Contacts and Calendar also work fine. All the 23 other iphones including mine still work fine. Just not the captivate.
I tried searching and found nothing that really helped so I thought I'd see if anyone had any input.
Yes. Push is enabled in the settings menu.
I cant check for myself (because my corporate exchange does not work at all with the stock mail program), but did you go into options, then notifications and set the interval to sync to "as mail arrives?"
You might want to give touchdown a try, 30-day trial, while ugly, works great

What version of Exchange is your company running? Older versions don't do Push.
Nitrodesk Touchdown. By far the best Exchange client for Android.

Agreed.
What version of Exchange are you running? Do you have OWA access? I have set the mail up with OWA address and push worked just fine. Although I currently use Touchdown. I hardly ever use my blackberry now, just sucks carrying two phones.
You can download quickoffice for free, and that should get your exchange working.

Thanks for the input guys.
We run a mixed 2007/2003 enviorment.
Now my iphone and everyone's iphone always worked without issue. So I did a little more digging and figured out what my problem was. When I checked the front end server's logs I was getting the error:
Unexpected Exchange mailbox Server error: Server: [email.company.com] User: [[email protected]] HTTP status code: [500]. Verify that the Exchange mailbox Server is working correctly.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
I found the fix. It's an exchange issue that M$ knew about and released a hot fix for it. But you need to request them to send it to you (it took M$ 5 minutes to send the file).
The fix that worked for me:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926144
Thanks again for the help!
I'm looking for a client that's as good as the iPhone mail client. I'd like it to support multiple exchange accounts as well as render html based email properly. Also an email client that will render all emails proportionally so I don't have to scroll left and right on an email unless I zoom in. Also supporting pinch to zoom would be great. I've tried K9 but was left unsatisfied on it's implementation... what are the better clients on Android?
I'm in the same conundrum(though not for exchange accounts, mostly IMAP).
Tried k9, which fails quite bad and maildroid, which is just slow. Finalyl just settled on the Samsung Mail app that came with my Galaxy S. I'm sure you can find an APK for it around somewhere if you have a different phone.
It's as close to the iPhone mail prgram as I can find on Android

I don't understand how any could could be disappointed in K9 Mail, it works flawlessly for me. The GUI is simple yet intuitive and presents the right information at the right time, it ALWAYS works, it's fast, it uses VERY little battery, it supports a great deal of functionality.
The GUI between 2 and 3 got even better adding "Move to Archive" and such type buttons, making common actions easier to do.
One more big plus; Tasker supports it, so you can act on incoming emails, send email, etc via K9.
Only two things it's missing IMO..
Per-folder alerts (I combine all emails (forwarded) into one, and most of them go into specific folders) would be nice, but I've done this in Tasker now so no biggie here.
Second, if you move mail to a folder you don't sync, it stays local and doesn't clean up. IE: If you move Trash mail to the server Trash folder, it moves on the server and on the mail client. However it never gets purged in K9 after X days or after the server deletes it if you don't sync that folder. So what I've done is I sync a few such folders once a day.
FYI, I use Dovecot for my IMAP server, one mailbox IDLE, 4-5 sync once a day. I use Tasker to turn off Syncing at night and have K9 set to not sync when it's disabled so at night K9 doesn't receive mails, turns back on in the morning for me. And when I get certain emails in (based on subject, sender, etc) Tasker alerts me in special ways.
I don't really use the encryption/signing functionality, but it also works quite well paired with APG.
I just don't see why anyone wouldn't like it if they use IMAP. I assume POP would be a similar experience. Exchange can DIAF.
I swear by K9 Mail. Best email app I've ever used. Bonus for being open-source and updated frequently too.
If you are not satisfied with the market release version of K-9 you can always DL a newer version from the development web site.
You can view changes by clicking on the source tab and then the changes sub-tab.
I used K9 as my default email client on the Mytouch 3G. It is a really good, strong, and full of features application. I highly recommend it. Right now I'm using the default that came with the Mytouch 4G because it fits my needs.
Theres always Touchdown and this another one that I can't recall name of if you want to go paid route , K9 does everything and more for me so i've no complaints, The iphone mail app is PATHETIC! look for samsung mail (social mail app) if you want but so far the best is K9 and touchdown for exchange
The stock mail app on my Captivate can't access Yahoo!mail on WIFI and when I tried K9, it slowed my phone down to a crawl. Everything lagged so badly I had to uninstall after less than an hour. And yeah, lag disappeared right after I uninstalled K9.
SO yeah, I, too, am looking for a good mail app.
Try Seven.....it's been working great for me.

K-9 for sure.
K9 works good but not with Exchange 2010
Or there's always my app! Link is in my sig. I'm constantly working on it so new stuff is being added all the time.
For me without doubt Maildroid

Yahoo email finally worked for me (both on mobile network & Wifi)
Please feel free to move this to appropriate thread/page, if this is NOT the place for it. I apologize. Just wanted to share if someone is looking for info on this.
Note: I am running Darky's 8.1 ROM, the Email app didn't work. It force closed on me several times. As a work around, I copied/replaced the Email.apk from other ROM (Axura 2.5 that I saved) into system\app folder using RootExplorer and got it to work with the below settings :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Open Email
2. Select 'Add Account'
a. Enter your yahoo email Username: [email protected]
b. Enter password: password
3. Click on 'Manual Setup'
4. Select 'IMAP'
5. Incoming Server Settings
a. IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
b. Port: 993
c. Security: SSL (Accept all cetrificates)
d. Optional: blank
6. Click next
7. Outgoing Server Settings
a. SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
b. Port: 465
c. Security Type: SSL (Accept all cetrificates)
8. Click Next
9. Give a name to your account
DONE.
Note: If I left the default 'port numbers and Secutiry Type : none' in both incoming and outgoing server settings...it DID NOT work. It would give me and error saying 'Username and password are inavlid'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good Luck.
I use K9, works both with yahoo and gmail.
Does Yahoo push work for either of you? I was able to set up Yahoo Mail using either default or K9 without trouble except it won't push.
The Yahoo Mail client pushes but lags terribly. MailDroid is the only one that will push but not sure if it's worth the money.
Running stock 2.1 on Captivate currently. Will be curious how these work when I flash something on it.
I just use the Yahoo Mail app. I love it.
Why not just use the yahoo mail application from the market. I use that and it pushes email to the phone.
I can have my phone sitting on my desk and on my computer have the yahoo mail box open. My phone beeps notifying me of an new yahoo mail message, I look at the yahoo email inbox on my computer and it still hasnt even shown up there yet. Thats how fast the push notifications are in yahoo email application. Of course you must be on a 2.2 or higher ROM for the google cloud based notifications (basically push notifications) to work.

Like I said, I've found that it lagged terribly. The push notifications were okay, but simple operations like opening emails, deleting, etc., took 5 - 15 seconds per operation. Do you think that's because I'm still running stock 2.1?
@MobileNick
Yes, K9 pushes for me on both yahoo and gmail. It will be under settings for each account you create. There is an option to push in increments of 30min, 1hr, 2hr and so on. Hope this helps.
I like to use just one app for the email since I have multiple accounts with yahoo and gmail.

Thanks. But that's not really "push" is it? That's polling. I was talking about when the email gets sent to the device right away like Gmail does.

Unlikely that it's 2.1. I just flashed to Andromeda recently and the app still lags just as bad as it did when I was on stock 2.1 as well. The app isn't so great imo.

Oh, my bad brotha. I was "thinking" it was push. But you are correct, I usually just use the polling option and set it to an hour, since that's all I need.

I found the yahoo app was terrible on stock 2.1 but once I updated to 2.2 and applied a lagfix it worked much better. still a little lag but very useable.
those of you using the yahoo app, how do you find your battery life?

No - you're cool! I've been using K-9 with an hourly polling and honestly it's not that bad. Push would be cool but not necessary.
cyco722, mechanical tool: So seems like 2.2 with lagfix is the best way to have the Yahoo app work smoothly. I'll have to try it out once I get there!

Yes, you are correct. There is a little bit of lag in the yahoo mail app compared to the gmail app. It did get much better once I loaded an alternate ROM with a decent lag fix. Its manageable in my opinion.
I havent noticed any hit to the battery life using the yahoo mail app. It sits in the background the entire time using no resources, the push notifications come via googles cloud notification service (I believe this is only for android 2.2 and up, when I was on 2.1 I dont recall getting instant notifications).
Thanks. It works for me.
I found yahoo to be way too laggy, not be able to select multiple emails for deletion. had to actually open the email to then delete. And it wouldn't work over wifi. That all added up to a crappy app. I haven't tried it for a few months to see if they fixed any of these. I use k-9 set on hourly poll.
Anyone else having problems with Yahoo mail syncing with the Das Bamf Sense 3 rom?
i'm also having trouble, and i've not rooted my tbolt yet.
My yahoo mail hasn't synced in three days. At first i thought i messed something up because i had just rooted my phone, however, it seems i am not alone with this problem. Sure wish a fix/solution was out there.

Yeah, I usually check my mail on my phone every morning (stock ROM, stock Mail app). This morning it wasn't showing any new emails (despite the fact that I get emails from Newegg every day). I thought it might be an LTE thing, but it wasn't working on wifi, either. I cleared all my data, deleted the account on the Mail app. Tried again, and it was telling me how many messages were on the server, but it wouldn't download any of them.
Later, I force quit Mail and cleared it's data. Now instead of presenting a variety of account options, I have just Microsoft Exchange and Other listed. I picked other, put in my credentials, and it keeps coming back with an Authentication failed message.
It could be a problem on Yahoo's end

I'm having trouble synching on my TB and my wife's Incredible. Is this a fluke or is yahoo blocking IMAP on purpose?
So this will only apply for Yahoo mail. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
[1] Turn off SSL and use port 110
or
[2] Set incoming server to pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk port with SSL on 995
Yahoo has apparently a bad or expired certificate which is why people are seeing all types of errors like "Invalid Login" or when adding account "Unauthorized User please try your user name and password again" ect ect.
Again use at your own risk this was information from Yahoo support.

That solution is for POP email, not IMAP. Big difference.
With that being said, I have no solution for IMAP. Using POP you'll be able to get your mail, it just won't be "pushed" to your phone.
well it works with cm7
didn't notice. I like the yahoo mail app better. More features and notifications on new messages.
the yahoo mail app is great...it has push notifications
Seems like this is a universal problem amongst carriers and devices. I'm surprised there hasn't been any press about this.
I called Verizon they said yahoo is updating there system so I think that messed

earlier today and it works fine and I know stock android email also works

- i just got my thunderbolt sat. and after my initial yahoo setup
using the htc email app, it worked great however I ended up
installing a bamf rom and since then it has never worked.
I'm only able to send but not receive
if you can find a stock email apk that works please update us
I would really appreciate it.
Ok I fixed mine. Easy!
Downloaded Yahoo mail from the market. Installed but I never opened it or used it. It somehow fixed the settings for my htc mail app for Yahoo.
My Yahoo mail now pushes like it did before!
