Okay, I have been through this so much. Email notification for anything other than GMail.
On stock, any emails that come in from say Yahoo, AOL etc get the notification bubble on the Mail app. However seems like if we flash a ROM that is senseless that this just doesn't work.
Things I have tried:
Wiped Davik Cache and re-flashed ROM
Used POP3 settings for AOL
Used IMAP settings for AOL
Used Launcher Pro, no go
Used ADW Launcher with Notification add on.
Installed 3rd party ROM with Sense.. and it works perfect. So what is it that a senseless ROM breaks?
Looking for a program that either one shows new email notifications (bubble) or what settign to make it work in a Non-Sense ROM.
Please I am not looking to kill off my AOL account as I have had it for 10 plus years. I have both gmail and aol and would like to use both.
You can link the aol account to your gmail account.

That would make all emails go through gmail. Thanx for suggestion. Lookign for why it works with sense to have both inboxes and get notificiation no problem..
Because it's a feature of HTC Sense. You run a "senseless" rom, that feature is removed.
So the capability is completely broken in a senseless ROM? No way?

I'm sure it isn't completely broken, there is most likely a workaround somewhere. Unfortunately, I only use Gmail, and run a Sense based rom, so I am not sure how it would be done. The AOSP mail client has different features from the Sense mail client on Android.
I think I get what your saying. If the mail client was left in from the Sense, whihc it usually is, that apk works only as a sense based. So when sense isn't runing it down't work anymore.
With our great developers around here would have thought a fixed would have been done by now..

I don't think very many people use AOL anymore, so it probably isn't a priority at all. You might be able to PM a developer, or post a request in the Q&A forum for it.
I get that, but you also have exchange, yahoo and all the others this phone can use.. not everyone in the world has gmail. LOL
I do appreciate you answering tho... must be some answer out there...

Is it possible to install the HTC Mail client (from HTC Desire) on the Nexus 1? I've grown used to the 2.1 interface and not interested in running Sense UI. However, I would like to have the HTC Mail client since it comes with full Exchange support (mail, contacts, calendar). I know it is not as easy as pushing the APK - I already tried that and got the Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]. Any ideas on whether running this app (with libraries) on the Nexus 1 is possible?
N1 already does exchange mail and contacts. just install motocal and motogal for exchange calendar and global address list.

Mail client in N1 does not seem to fully support mail2web exchange, and the client is VERY limited. I had to purchase Touchdown.
Yeah, the HTC Mail client depends on HTC's frameworks, which means you have to run a full HTC ROM to get it. you can, however, push the default 2.1 Launcher2.apk into a Desire ROM, for that stock feel with HTC goodies. (well, you should be able to. I haven't tried it, but see no reason why it wouldn't work). And if you want to go even farther, you could probably push Browser.apk, Calendar.apk, maybe even Settings.apk... and a bunch of others to make it look and feel stock, but keep some HTC goodies. And I'm sure there's a morph out there that will change the statusbar back to light color.
You dont need to push anything the launcher is there... Go to settings programs and disable dfaults for htc sense and bam u have default launcher.

I am running CorGAL and MotoCAL right now. The 2 features I am missing is the ability to look up corporate addresses from within the native email application, and have a automatic signature applied. We have 5,000 employees and although I don't email each of them routinely - I just don't want to have to look them up individually each time - nor do I want to download their email to my address book. I know Touchdown can do all of this, but I think their implementation is horrible. HTC Mail client is a nice piece of work and that is what I would like to use.
try k9mail
Very cool app with search and folders the 2.510 is awsome but i recomend to fully understand the folders class thing
Very stable and cool with attachements (my first concern )
i tried to pull the motogal.apk from the droidx froyo rom and push it in, but i dont see it in list of programs, do we need to port it to froyo? or am i doing something incorrectly? i use android commander to do this?
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.

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:
I know it's a subjective vague question - but what do you guys use? Obviously I'm speaking of a gmail account, not yahoo, etc...For non-gmail accounts obviously htc mail is the way to go. But I only use my gmail.
I've been using the main gmail app since I've been on Android until a couple weeks ago, when I finally tried HTC mail. I did this primarily for the fancier UI, and deeper Sense integration (quick launch widget, etc).
But I'm realizing that HTC mail, while impressive in its display and interface, seems to not work 100% smoothly. For instance, I've noticed a couple emails that didn't show up in my inbox in HTC mail, but are visible in the stock gmail app and on my gmail on my computer. Once HTC mail "misses" an email it will not appear upon refreshing, weird...this hasn't bee a widespread problem, but still if it happens to "miss" that one important email, that's not good...also, you lose a lot of the labeling and starring functionality that gmail has. Also - another thing is you can only sync up to one months' worth of mail with HTC, but with the native gmail app you can access all your emails. Theoretically, HTC allows you to search the server for older emails, but for some reason it's not working for me. Every now and then I need to dig up an old email, and HTC doesn't seem to want to let me do it.
Anyway - sorry if this is a lame thread, but I've been thinking about what I want to do and figured it was worth throwing it out in the general section to see what other people think.
I think, even though HTC mail is much prettier and 'fancier' - I'm going to go back to native gmail, because while it's not as exciting of an app, it seems to generally work better.
Thoughts?

aww man sorry to hear that. well think of email as speculation. would you rather hear it from the horses mouth? HTC mail is nice ... I think its for emails that dont have their own app (ie company or personal website)
Maybe its the ROM.When I was using sense 3.0 i ran both of the apps you mentioned and they came in simultaneously.

I actually think I figured the "missed" emails out - I have labels set up in gmail where emails from certain people or with certain tags, get put in a label. In gmail, all of these emails appear in my inbox as well as their respective folders...but in htc, it seems that these emails appear ONLY in the folders (labels) they are linked to, but NOT in the general inbox...which is another thing I don't like lol. I don't want to have to jump between several different folders to try to find an email. I only use the folders when I want to group a certain label together for easier viewing and for archiving, but not to actually read incoming mail...
It's too bad - I love how integrated HTC mail is in Sense...whereas with gmail, it's just an icon. With HTC you have a choice of widgets, unread count on the icon, display in quick launch...btw I'm running TDJ's port of the Sense 3.5 Runny rom...love it!
But on topic, looks like I'm heading back to native gmail. I just wish that update didn't remove 3rd party access...or at least I wish gmail would implement an unread count option for the icon or a widget...

Yeah I tried MIUI for a day myself. It was cool, different, but ultimately I preferred the more traditional 'android' setup. I was on cm7 for a good bit, but I always wind up back on Sense. I guess its vain of me but i just think the software feels 'higher end'
Gmail is superior to me for one reason only: push email. HTC mail does not offer this.

I get much better battery life using HTC mail set to sync every 30 minutes.
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

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.

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..

Why not just download another email app. Like Outlook, that one works well with all email accounts.
I'd strongly recommend K9 as an email app. Been using that since my G1 and it's still outstanding!
K9 or blue mail works great, I've used k9 for a long time, just switched over to blue, very hard to decide which one is the keeper ?

These guys are not actually correct.
The "stock" email program STILL EXISTS, and in fact, is actually INSTALLED on Pixel devices from factory!
BUT, google has merged its UI into the GMAIL program.
So you have two options if you want to use the "stock" email program;
1) Set up your IMAP email account through the GMAIL program,
2) DISABLE the gmail program, and guess what happens? The "email" program launcher icon shows up in your launcher!
HOWEVER, it really is a much better idea to use k9mail instead. It is far more feature rich.

Aquamail Pro is nice, arguably better than K9, although it was just acquired by MobiSystems so who knows how future updates are going to look. Large companies acquiring small, indie developer projects does not usually end well for the app.
Security-wise, Aquamail, K9 and Nine are about the only third-party apps I'd consider.
I know this thread is now almost 2 months old.
what I"m looking for is a mail app to keep my gmail separate from my 2 exchange emails - and it MUST integrate with a calendar widget.
I haven't found one that works best. I liked the old "Mail" app - I could left swipe to delete, right to options - all your reply, reply-all, forward options right at the top of each message, rather than the options dots.
Outlook won't get sucked into my Google Calendar.

Aquamail - I tried just about every top email app. Also needed it to support Calendar, works perfect. I use the paid version and can't imagine a more customizable Android email client. Absolutely outstanding. Extremely reliable too.

Yeah, definitely for Exchange. I still prefer K9 for IMAP (easy to have lots of aliases) but Nine is definitely where it's at for Exchange. Great integration to Calendar and more!
It seems that only the Lollipop branch of the stock email app 7.0-x is merged into Gmail. Earlier versions of the stock email app, targeted for KitKat like email app 6.3-x, are still working. I am on CM 11 and the fresh installed email app 6.3-1218562 seems functional and wants to be configured with an email account.
However, regarding security concerns it may be still better to use an alternative mail client like K9. I ask me now how that one performs on low-level phones with weak hardware. All these super-rich features of that nice K9 mailing app needs surely hardware power. I noticed a similar behavior also on more recent Gmail versions. These are far more hardware hungry then older ones. That's the reason why I like the stock email app, - it seems lightweight and fast.
