[Q] Replace Email App - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to replace the corporate email app with one from a phone client? I'd love to use a better client than the one on the Xoom.
Btw, I don't like touchdown.. k9 and roadsync don't work.

What do you mean k9 doesn't work? I installed it, and it works. Unfortunately I dnt like the layout and went back to the standard client. I still use k9 on my X.

You gotta be doing something wrong, then... It's standard activesync technology in both. And the n1 one, at least, even let's you ignore SSL certs (which was a common problem in 2.0 and less I believe).
friend, i would love it if i was doing something wrong, but i have tried everything, every combination with the settings. Worked perfectly with the "work email" app but that isnt supported for froyo. stock N1 wont authenticate. its not a small company (Best Buy) and ive used it on WM, Blackberry, HTC phones listed above, and Palm WebOS with no problems. its just the N1 stock client.
im out of ideas
Very strange. I've had better luck with email app in 2.1 and 2.2 then any previous version. have you tried leaving domain blank and doing domain\username for username? just a thought.
Edit: scratch that, that's exactly how it is setup now (no domain box) doh.
i am using the stock 2.2 mail and syncing to exchange server. make sure you have the username right
i understand the client isnt defective, just not compatible with Best Buy's requirements I guess. I know its working for many, but the stock N1 2.2 email client will not work with Best Buy. where the email client on the various HTC phones it does work (aria, evo, incredible, etc)
i believe i am entering everything correctly.
Domain\Username: NA\x123456
server: sync.bestbuy.com
ok, question here gurus...is this problem with my work email not working on the N1 stock email client possibly due to my company's requirement for a password on the phone?
the HTC email client can enforce that and make you have a password on the phone(which with an app can be bypassed). is it possible that the N1 client is unable to enforce that policy and thats why it doesnt work?

Since when has BestBuy allowed employees to ActiveSync into their work email? When I worked there that was a huge no-no.

Ahhhhhh, yes that is definitely why. It can be setup to disallow e-mail clients that don't implement the pin lock policy.
Touchdown (not free, but imo worth it) in the market does have the option to enforce that policy with a built in pin system.
K9 is a free activesync/exchange email client but I'm not sure it supports pin lock (I'd guess not, but I haven't looked).
no go. Touchdown doesnt work, and their support told me that it officially wont work with it.
tried k-9 but the app is horrible...id rather login through the wesite to check the email befire using it.
guess i gotta sell my nexus and use Incredible on my VZ line...im very saddened by this.

Whose support told you in wouldn't? Your work or nitrodesk? It absolutely supports standard activesync pin policies. Not saying i don't believe you, I mean I'm sure you tried it, just find it kinda odd.
I have N1 Froyo and my company requires pin lock with exchange sync. Since the upgrade to Froyo, I have been able to sync without a problem.
nitrodesk says Best Buy is blocking all Android phones so Touchdown will not work. i gave them server settings and all.
its not totally true, Best Buy exchange works perfectly on HTC branded Android phones, Aria, Evo, Incredible, Hero, etc...it requires the cimple pin and works fine.
although does not work on N1 or Touchdown.
using free trial of RoadSync by Dataviz and its working flawlessly for my push email, calendar, tasks, and contacts. Wierd, its half the price of Touchdown and its working where Touchdown would not.
I am on CM 5.0.8 and has no problem to work with the corporate mail / corporate calendar taken from Droid.
Yesterday I have tried to upgrade to the new FRF91 and get connected to the corporate mail - without success.
In the logcat I have seen the following line: "AuthenticationHandler( 270): Authentication scheme ntlm not supported" and the device continued to ask me for the username / password.
I went back to CM 5.0.8 just because the corporate mail and the calendar.
So I guess something was not implemented properly in FRF91 for the corporate mails ....

Android Email Client?

Ever since I switched from my Tilt2 w/at&t to my Epic 4G w/sprint, I've been obviously using my gmail account more often. Thing is, the built in email client, even for gmail & even when I try it with pop3, just plain sucks. Also, I mainly use my hotmail account, which there isn't really an app for yet. So I have two things. 1. To find a much better email client for android. And 2. To find a way to get all my hotmail to my android. Now, I can fully access and export my entire hotmail account from inside outlook. But I haven't found a way to import pst's into android yet.

I lot of people say K9 mail is the best. I would say its the best of the non-Gmail apps out there. I can't use any other mail besides gmail because I'm so used to the threaded conversations. BUT, Gmail could be better for sure.

Use Seven email client (latest version 7.5.4)with homescreen widget support
It supports Gmail/yahoo/Hotmail/AOl n more
It is push mail client.
I see that you've gotten some good suggestions. I just wanted to tell you to avoid POP3 at all costs. It's a very primitive protocol and should really only be used as a last resort. Use at least IMAP.

Hotmail can be setup for push just like Exchange.
In the email app, tap Add Account, then put in your email address and password and then tap "Manual Setup"
Tap "Exchange Account"
Set the Incoming Mail Server: m.hotmail.com
Leave Domain blank
Set your username to your full @hotmail email address (i.e. include @hotmail.com or @live.com)
Enter your password.
Tap finish.
I recommend to use K9 mail. I use it with my 6 email adresses - 1 gmail, 1 imap and 4 pop3. As far I know hotmail does support pop3, so with K9 you should be able to check all your emails, including hotmail..
K9 is a very nice email client. I've used it for about a year now with imap.

Using K9 with 4 mails accounts, 3 IMAP and one POP3.
Works flawless so far.
K9 mail client is useless as it doesnt accept Exchange, this is ridiculous

no PUSH mail!!

Hello everyone
First of all, very very nice forum, a great place to learn and read.
I am having trouble with the stock gmail app.
itf not as push as should be!
does anyone have another app to sync gmail and get it push to the device?
Cheers !!
Stock Gmail should do the trick as it's the best there is for gmail sync. Mine pushes straight away everytime.
If you really must look for alternatives then try the Samsung email client as that pushes promptly or K9 mail for third party fix.
Are you sure that Samsung Email is able to push?
For me it does not push my mails, but I didn't try to fix it, I'm using my providers App.

the stock email app will push gmail as long as you set it up correctly through activesync...just google gmail activesync settings and put those into the email app

Absolutely I had set up my Hotmail (before official app) and it pushed every single email to me (although i had it set up via imap settings). It even showed all my folders that I had set up on my mail account.
I used both and neither pushed properly, they would sometimes and sometimes not.
You want a good mail app that will push? I can strongly suggest K-9 as one of the best out there.

and for using push gmail, I need to create an accout with which type of account??
POP3
IMAP
Exchange (WebDAV)
??
thanks for the help!
I'm using Gmail with K-9, when i first loaded it up, it configured it automatically without having to set anything specifically.
All I did from there was adjust my polling/fetching and push settings.
I've noticed even K-9 doesn't push instantly and sometimes not at all, but at least it's a better overall program I find then gmail and the stock samsung app.
I've read that it seems to be an Android thing, I suppose just another caveat you have to live with like not having a voicemail app.

Use Exchange and set up manually. Server for gmail is m.google.com.
The best e mail client is enhanced e mail available on the market.

[Q] Confused by email in android

So I have yahoo mail and google mail and now setting up exchange. To get push do I have to use 3 different apps? If so why is there no unifying app for all accounts? This seems rather basic (not making the app but the need for one like that.)

Email

So since I updated to the leaked ICS, I setup the default email client to my yahoo business account. I must say I hate the change to it they have made. In honeycomb I was able to set it to delete emails from the server as I deleted them from my phone, also it would download all my old emails to my phone as well. Now I can't do either of those and it goes through that social hub crap thing. Anyone have a email app that will work like the old email app in honeycomb?
Thanks

Personally, I like the solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24243224&postcount=3
It creates a new default Email app with lovely exchange integration, and you can remove Social Center
I have not rooted the phone at all so I am pretty sure I can't use tibu.
use K9 mail. It allows you to specify how many emails to sync as well as server side actions.
Yep K9 mail does exactly what I am looking for.
