E-mail app? - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

I was wondering what people are using for their E-mail application. I have tried a couple different ones but I am still looking for the better one. I hope that I have posted in the right place. This is for app questions I hope.

it would help if you listed the ones you have tried so people dont waste time recommending them
i have used sense (of course) and K-9, i prefer K-9 but hate it because it does not resize the email to fit portrait mode, but lanscape is better but still not resized properly, not sure why the hell they would make the ap not resize the email.
it also allows a different "reply to" than your smtp server account you are using, incase anyone uses a 3rd party smtp service or server other than their ISP's or uses their isp as their redirect smtp.
i have to because my mail server is behind my ddns address and it looks like spam to alot of systems so my incoming is my ddns but my outgoing is my ISP and i use the reply to as my ddns incoming.
other than that i dont even know what other ones there are.... :\

What version of K-9 are you using? They're up to 3103 as of this post. I'm on 3102 and have no such issue with resizing for portrait or landscape.

recently found this...i have not yet tried it

Exchange using K-9 mail

I am unable to get Exchange to work with K-9 mail, Does anyone have this working?
I really need an email app that will allow me to edit inside Exchange...

the default email app in the tab is good enough. i don't know about k9 mail. you're trying to which email provider?
Moxier Mail or Touchdown are the best for exchange on android. They're not free though.
Never did work for me either. The only reason I wanted a replacement of the native Email client was the inability of the native client to word wrap the long lines properly (or none at all). So all those branded company emails eventually appear so tiny and unreadable unless you zoom them in. K-9 never worked because our company server has Exchange 2010. I'm going to try Moxier Mail, and let's see if that works ( or works better)
Moxier mail wraps text perfectly on my phone. Haven't tried it with the Tab but I'm sure it'll be fine.
Well, I end up using Touchdown..so far, it has been good, at least I can copy and paste...thanks to all the input..

Sorry to revive a slightly old thread, but this is relevant
K-9 is real close to having exchange 2010 functionality. (I'm to new to post a link to the google code repository for proof)
I enjoy Enhanced Email. Its real good.
You should really REALLY try the default email app on Gingerbread. Judging by your signature, you are still using your tab on Froyo.
The eMail client that comes with Gingerbread on the tab is far superior to the initial one that came with the tab. To be specific, inline images load faster, you can respond to meeting requests and it feels a lot more responsive.
The zoom problem is not fixed, but in my experience it happens less than it used to. This is subjective as I may receive far fewer messages that cause this behavior, but I'm just saying... give it a try, it won't hurt.
Cheers,

But it doesn't show html emails.
Mine does show all emails, HTML and plain text alike, including embedded interactive objects such as flash. It actually uses the same browser webkit as Chrome, though it has some performance issues in this respect (not as smooth as the browser IMHO).
PS: inline images cannot be placed inside plain text emails (I make references to such objects in my previous post) :-D

Anyone know if K-9 is now real real close to having exchange 2010 functionality? K-9 seems to be the 'defacto' email support option for smartwatches, so I might use it just to grab emails for a smartwatch.

Is it possible to use a different mail apk?

There are few ROMs I like, but their AOSP e-mail clients don't do it for me. Is it possible to use an HTC mail client on non-Sense ROMs like MIUI and CM? If not, are there any e-mail client options for these ROMs?
I'm referring to--I'm not sure how to say it--"real" clients, not like K9 or other third-party ones. Specifically, I'm looking to use the same e-mail app for Exchange/Corp. e-mail and POP, and I want to be able to BCC myself automatically on all POP mail. I don't want to use one client for Exchange and another for POP.
Thanks.

No framework means no HTC apps on AOSP ROMs, period. I don't know of any other clients like you want.

Thanks. I did check out k9 and Touchdown. Touchdown is a very well done application. It not only syncs e-mail, contacts, and calendar, but also Exchange tasks. I just played with it for a few hours. The only drawback for me is that it does not support POP, so I'd have to used a different client for POP. K9 is just the opposite--it supports POP well, but does Exchange very poorly (really not at all). The search continues...
Thank you OP. GOOOOD question.
The sense mail syncs up all my mail accounts Exchange, pop, etc. good, and all in one place. I will miss that if I go custom rom? Oh me no likey that...sorry to the "named brands" guy but I actually use my phone for all the schnizzle it's advertised to do and to actually do sh*t". I also checked out out K9 and Touchdown and went back to stock for the same reasons you cite.

Don't let the OP's comments throw you off - based on what he said, he's looking for an unusual feature (automatic bcc). The stock email application in AOSP-type ROMs (cm7, Gingerbeast, etc) works just fine for many people. It supports multiple accounts, it works with POP, IMAP and all versions of Exchange (most mail apps on the Market don't work with Exchange 2010) and has the option of viewing all of your email accounts in one unified inbox with color coding. If you want a spiffier version of the stock AOSP mail program, Enhanced Email on the Market has a few more features.

This is correct, but I wouldn't classify auto-BCC as unusually: iPhone does it. More Inspire ROMs do it. Blackberry does it. Windows mobile does it.
The reason I want it is so I have a record on all my outbound email on my laptop (which is regularly backed up). I have a rule set up in Outlook so that when the bcc emails come in, they are moved to a "Sent from PDA" folder. Works great...

OK this is good to know. The main thing for me is a unified box that supports POP, IMAP, and Exchange 2007. I actually have auto BCC turned on at the moment thinking it was a good idea...but I find it extremely annoying and can likely get by without it :-o. Good discussion thanks!

You misunderstood - when I said "unusual feature" I meant it's somewhat unusual for people to want to automatically bcc themselves on all their email. Yes I'm aware this is a configurable option in many email clients. I think it was left off the AOSP client because all of the popular POP/IMAP email services (Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Windows Live, etc) all have configurable settings to automatically store all emails, even sent ones, so that automatic bcc isn't necessary. The auto bcc feature would only be needed for people using something like an ISP email. But I realize this is still a large group of people, so the auto bcc would definitely be a nice feature I suppose. So now that I think about it, maybe more people would like to have this feature than I originally realized. :shrugs:

Um - the built-in email app? Just set it to push delivery. I'm assuming you are using an Exchange server for email?
for true push you want k9 mail in the market. there was also maildroid but people prefered k9 even though they had nearly identical features.

How is ActiveSync's push not "true push"?
well i havent cared to check lately to see if it improved but if you installed k9 on the captivate and had both running k9 would always give you a notification long before the stock app. but im thinking back almost a year, the email stock app may be improved now, lately i have only used my phone for checking email not replying or composing but i remember the stock apps being limited. k9 seemed more fully featured, could attach any file type and had a global inbox for all your accounts.

Well, I used "Improved Email" which is a slightly modified version of the stock app - primarily because it lets me setup multiple Exchange accounts. But anyway, I routinely get notifications of new emails on it before my desktop notifies me (granted, my desktop is running in "Cached Mode" - but still...).
oh sorry. due to insomnia my brain isnt working. yes the stock app may have push for exchanger servers but it doesn't for personal emails. k9 might not be "true" either but it is much faster than the stock app can be on your gmail and other accounts. i need to watch how i word things but what i was getting at is in many cases k9 is very near real time notifications for most email accounts.

In that case I defer to your experience. I don't really use my Gmail account, so I have no idea how quickly it delivers email. I only assumed the poster was using Exchange because that's Blackberry's claim to fame - and I've never understood why Blackberry users seem to think that BB is the only way to get their email immediately - Exchange server has had that functionality baked in for years.

well the gmail app delivers the gmails fast but that app sux for full time use
i used to use k9 and killed notifications for gmail and email. now i stopped caring, i dont have a work email anymore and i stopped using my other personal email from an isp i no longer use so im down to only my gmail but use my computer to reply now as nothing in my life is that urgent at the moment that i need to reply from my phone where ever i am. i may be out of touch with what works now.
Thanks for the help guys. FYI it has nothing to do with thinking that bb's are the only phones that can get instant email. Just some people arent as tech savvy or forgot since they havent owned htc/wm phones in a long time OR never owned android like myself.
I do appreciate all the help however guys!

Best email app on CM7 / Boca

I switched recently to Boca and could not be happier in terms of performance and battery life.
I am missing one thing though: the well designed / slick / beautiful email app from Samsung (probably the only touchwiz thing I miss I would say)
Which email app are you guys using? Kaiten, Moxier, Enhanced email look interesting. Any advice?
I remember a post a year ago explaining Samsung's email app was just a derivative of another one but I cant find the ppst anymore... Could be interesting to explore this as well

I tried Maildroid, it seemed okay. I prefer Samsung email over the Gmail app too...
I really like the Samsung email app on my 8.9. I use that for my work email and keep my personal email in the gmail app. On my galaxy s and my (former) evo I use the enhanced email app. The developer for that app was really responsive when I first got it (back when it was $0.99, and had less than 50 downloads). I originally got the enhanced email app because it was the first one I could find that offered exchange phone lock password requirement bypass.
Thank you, I will have a look I checked K9 and Kaiten mail but I can't believe they still don't support Exchange 2010
I lve the Samsung app, definitely my favorite but I haven't found anyway to install it on a non Samsung ROM. I tried restoring with Titanium backup, I tried installing through ADB, but then got some certificates issues... Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Couldn't find anything on the web with people able to go around and install it
If you want the samsung mail then you need to use a Touchwiz based rom. Boca is a CM7 based rom. Other than that if you need trie exchange support then touchdown is the best. Or just use imap and kaiten.

Yes I know that you need a Samsung Rom to have the right certificates for Samsung's apps which is definitely not the case with AOSP or CM ROMs
I was just wondering if some people had found workarounds
Touchdown? It's not gonna happen the application is bulky and ugly...
Thanks anyway
But there is some hope...
Unfortunately not yet for exchange accounts

Its not even about certificates more so than the whole touchwiz framework that needs to be there. If you are just after two pane email.for your gmail, run 160-182 dpi and set browser for ipad and you will get the gmail ipad site. On the other hand, Touchdown is not ugly once you fiddle with it but is the only working EWS client next to ICS I believe, unless you want Good for Enterprise (shutters at the thought).
Lemme know what you end up with.

Already using Good Enterprise for my Work email on my tab. It's not bad actually but eats a lot of battery
I am not looking for an app for GMail, but my personal exchange email. It looks like the one tat messes the least with your overall Android experience is Enhanced Email (And it does support Exchange 2010 accounts). Only downside is it doesn't seem to add any proprietary calendar and to be honest the default Android calendar is relly... ugly... (And not very practical)
Forget about Enhanced Email... It looked interesting from everything I read... BUT I tried the eval app. It resets all the sync emails every time I get over a few days emails... (Could be an issue with the trial version though, but if you make a trial version, you make it good....)
Besides it doesn't allow you to input from your device more than the name, number and email of a contact. Forget about birthdays, etc...
The developer seems reactive but it'snot going to be enough. Aaah I miss my Samsung's email client !!!
So, not I wont get this and I may very well stay on the stock app even though it misses pinch and zoom as well as search...
I hope ICS will be better. Anyway K9 is getting close to a good working solution for Exchange 2010 so I will probably wait until then..

If you follow my link above you will find a version of Samsung's app hat installs on MIUI but is a bit buggy (Will not easily allow to attach something to the email and will not support Exchange accounts)

[Q] Alternative Email Clients

So I have had my 12.2 since the second week of April. My 2 week return period came and went as I do like this tablet a lot. Coming from an iPad and working in a MS world I really loathe the Samsung default email client. The font size is horrificly large. The font settings in the client and the system itself seem to have little to no effect making it look fugly. (yes im aware this is an opinion)
Outlook is great on my phone but looks like a** on this tablet.
I am a Hotmail/Outlook user (I do have gmail but been forwarding to Outlook for 2 years now and I suppose I could go back and try the Google client if need be)
I was curious as to what other clients the other 12.2 users are rocking...
*note - not rooted........yet*
First, try changing to a different font other than default. There are several which come with the P900, as well as a large number you can buy on the playstore for 99 cents. Some make the default Samsung email client quite usable IMO.
That said, look at cloud magic. It's a great all in one solution.
I use Aquamail. It has a number of user configurable items and seems to work very well. For Web outlook connected to my enterprise account I use OWM Web email.

I second Aquamail. I've tried a handful of exchange compatible ones and this one is currently tops on my list followed by Touchdown.
K-9 for me, using IMAP servers. Took a little digging to figure out how to configure a couple of things, but once I did, it's been very intuitive and flawless for me.

I love K-9 too, but they need to release a tablet UI skin. The mobile UI leaves a lot to be desired when you go into tablet portrait mode.

I almost always use it in landscape on the tablet, so less of an issue. Just wish I could get some of the "Send..." options like Reply as visible commands!
Derp. I meant landscape mode. Yeah, so we agree. K-9 needs a tablet skin!

Does cloudmagic work with multiple exchange calendars? Currently I'm using Touchdown and generally it works OK but my exchange account at work has calendars for meetings, on-call shifts, car use, and a bunch of other stuff. I haven't had any luck as of yet locating an app that could do this. Despite that KitKat supposedly supports it.

i'll add my vote for k-9. been using it for awhile, does everything and works really well with multiple accounts from multiple sources (9 email addresses spread over gmail, yahoo, and live) keeps everything color coded and organized so i know exactly what came from where.
google client... ugh. as far as i know there is still no way to disable 'conversation view'; where it group emails together in coversations with newest on the bottom, so you're guaranteed to NOT notice new messages and be unable to find anything.
-lq
I could never get K9 to work with the exchange servers my company uses. I've tried a few others including purchasing licenses Touchdown and Moxier. I ended up settling with Aquamail which seems to be the most stable and reliable app yet for my needs. The widget settings are just right as are the theme settings (I like transparent scrolling widgets and dark app themes) and the UI itself works well on tablets.
[email protected] works great!
