The only gripe i have with the Galaxy Tab is the abominably slow Email app with Exchange integration. On any app start or when return from reading an Email it takes a full 30 or more seconds to load the Email list (i sync 1 week) and more often than not the screen / app becomes unresponsive and force closes.
I discovered that unlike Touchdown the in-built Email app simply downloads all Emails (1 week horizon) in all sub-folders (i have many, organization freak...). With Touchdown i can pre-select the folders i want on the Phone/Tab, which obviously makes the number of items much smaller.
By now i don't want to change from Email to Touchdown, because I like the integration of Emails & calendar entries, etc. native, but I have to work with the tab on work Email,... can't wait for every mail for 30 sec to load
Does anybody experience this too, and are there any remedies?
thanks
That isn't the case with me. I have 27 subfolders (really), not counting Inbox, Sent, Junk and Deleted folders. I need to manually refresh all but the main Inbox.
Response time moving from folder to folder is also a non-issue, and I sync back a full month (which is thousands and thousands of emails). I don't notice any extra delay when leaving Email and doing something else on the tab either.
I'm using Push, not timed polling, and no "peak schedule" so that may make a difference.
Sounds like you might have some database corruption going on. Try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All/Email and then "Clear data". This will nuke the mail on your device without changing your account settings. Sync up again and see if you still have the problem.
If you do, go into Accounts and Sync, click on your Exchange account, and click Remove Account, then reboot the Tab. Once you've done that, set your account back up, resync, and see what the situation is.

I will try clear data
I did see the issue reported (with no solution) on other forums though
Thanks
Edit: cleared data, same issue. I am hesitant to re-setup, because others have reported that that didn't help them either. I am on JM6, interesting that you don't hv the issue

I'm having this issue too, any solutions?
Same here,
have 50 subfolders
use Countdown actually.

Same with me. Very slow!!
It was the same on the original firmware/rom, on JK5 and JM6. Also performed full factory reset but it makes no difference.
Using the eval of roadsync at the moment and it works pretty well but it does not integrate very well with the calendar and contacts apps. I will probably configure roadsync for email and the built in app for calendar and contacts to get a working solution. Annoying and very disappointing!!
Search for the port for Galaxy S of the email app from galaxy tab, it solved the slowdowns and it removed the security pass.

This worked for me no lag when opening up my corp inbox. Tab now 100% perfect.
Had to change the galaxy email app shortcut as it was set to open the previous account by default. Even though they were called the same it always opened a blank mail box . I then had to change to all accounts. Now resolved

Be careful, it's a very OLD email.apk, from a pre-release leak of the Tab ROM.
It's missing a few features, and it has a lot more connection issues. I tried it just to bypass needing a PIN, it was not reliable.

yeah, i can see that in the referred thread...
so is there a newer version that works AND is not taking 30-60 sec to load?

It's old but is usable, the stock one is impossible to use... maybe in future updates samsung can solve this huge problem...

ok, this thread needs to be updated a bit, because just simply referring to the link is bad advise.
it broke my camera (driver crash), probably because the email.apk posted in the other thread linked does not have an *.odex file
i reverted back to the original email.apk and email.odex and my camera is working again.
scary
haha
now i am still stuck with a very slow email app

You have to use only the email.apk and keep the original Email.odex, then the camera works fine...
The only problem i found is that the version of the port is from an old version... anyone have a more recent version?

There seems to be a new firmware from samsung out... Wonder whether there is a new email client too...
Last time I tried to pull it from the fw, but didn't succeed.
Any solutions on this?
I think the problem is related with security from exchange. Because when I use the stock app I have to assign a pin to access the system, and the mail app works very slow, but when I use a modded version without the security it works normally...

Am also looking for solution still newer fw's like JME have not solved it yet
The implementation of Exchange on Android is screwed... I use an Exchange 2010 server and not all my folders show on my android device. And even the ones which show dont update ona regular basis (My Sent folder updates once in a while... Right now it hasn't updated for 2 weeks)
On top of it it doesn't update all the features/items. For instance impossible to have birthdays for contacts. Or impossible to modify an event from the exchange calendar (It's only possible to delete it)
Not much to say. It's disappointing on a phone. It's ridiculous on a tablet (you expect at ;east the email client and the calendar to be perfect on a tablet)
Same happens to me since the beginning, anyone has found a solution???
I think it's unacceptable
Thanks
Hey guys,
Just flashed to 2.2 and its working great. Only annoyance is contact pictures no longer show up in the messaging app. They show up fine in contacts, but won't show in the message app. I've seen a lot of users with similar issues, but not many on Samsung phones.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Hmm just noticed this on mine as well.
Well the issue seems to be app specific. Downloaded Handcent and Chomp and they pulled the images perfectly fine.
It appears the messaging app no longer pulls pictures from linked accounts. Set one by hand on the main contact and it started pulling the picture so I guess it can be fixed with one of the Facebook photo sync apps. Annoying but seems like the only solution at the moment.
I like the UI of the new ICS Email app. So I've using it for a bit, but it has a couple of issues.
The dealbreaker is the way it handles attachments:
1. If I get a zip archive, it refuses to let me download it, because it can harm the phone.... The I tried emailing to myself the eWallet viewer app from my Nexus S, and Email would not let me save it, because it can't find an application to open it with.... WTF?!
2. The other issue is that there is no on-icon notifications for the Email app.
Any ideas how to fix these?
So, does anyone know a workarround which allows for the downloading of all attachments in the stock Email client?
I am using K-9 now, but the ICS stock email has a much better designed UI, so I would love to be able to use it.
Anyone having a problem attaching pics using Gmail app? They never attach, regardless of how I try. Very irritating. I've had to download another email app just to send pics.
No. Mine's fine with the stock Gallery app. But try QuickPic and see if it helps.

I like QuickPic too --- I just like the way it works ---- and Photo Editor works easily for quickly resizing -- I found the attach take forever to load (maybe never load..... I gave up waiting) so I resize the photos,,,, works great.

I noticed the same thing and found that the Gmail app only attaches files that are stored in device storage. Every time I tried to attach a file stored on microsd the message goes through sans attachment.
Not sure if this is a bug or deliberate but it definitely makes the app less useful.
My issue was the opposite. I had a picture attached to an email (.jpg). And on the TF700 when I download or view it, it ends up blank. It works fine and displays fine on my SGS2. But not on the tablet. I tried deleting the saved file and re-downloading it from gmail many times and it was always a blank file with 0 KB.
