I'm trying to get my email running and I'm having problems with both of the above mentioned email apps. Any help is appreciated.
I'd like to use the stock email since it's a little more polished and simpler and does everything I need. But every time I sync email with my IMAP accounts it resets all the "read" email to "unread". My exchange account for work works great with the default app.
With K9 I can get the IMAP accounts working normally but it won't pull down any Exchange email after the initial sync. I've been all over the forums and can't get it running, which seems pretty common.
Has anyone experienced the default email app behaving as I described and been able to fix it? Any advice on setting up exchange i K9?
Thanks for any help!

Im looking for an advanced version of the gmail client. Paid or free, it doesnt matter.
I need the basic functionality currently on offer (just for gmail addresses really), but with more options. Landscape view like in touchwiz would be nice, as well as better attachment options, etc..
Pretty vague but you know what i mean
Why not just use the stock Samsung email client?

Dave
that k-9 mail is meant to be good
maildroid looks promising to , one free and one expensive version..
Try Moxier... thumbs up from me. Only cost 20 bucks

The stock client still doesn't deliver notifications properly on my jk5 rom.

Nonsense! I get push email from my GApps account using the stock client.
Hint: Use Exchange ActiveSync, which Gmail supports.

later, in account options, is possible to specify the "scan new messages timeout" that

First of all you are wrong in that IMAP doesn't poll - it can use poll at intervals if you wish. IMAP IDLE is a pseudo push, and that is what you are thinking of, but it is still a form of polling in essence.
However, all of this is immaterial!
In the stock email client, when you set up a new account you enter your email address and password. At this stage, you could click next and it would set up your Gmail account as IMAP. However, if you click Manual Setup, you get 3 options:
POP
IMAP
Exchange
Select Exchange account and then enter the follow:
Domain\Username : [email protected] (or [email protected] if you are using GApps for Domains)
Exchange Server : m.google.com (for both regular GMail and GApps for Domains email)
Press Next, and then you get the option to change the "Email Check Frequency", which by default should be "Automatic (Push)".
Job done! True push on stock email client.

Wow, just wow. I didn't know about that exchange stuff. That's insane! Thanks!
hi,
i have configured my gmail account in order to send emails using another identities.
in gmail is possible to select the identity of the sender, but not in stock email app.
it's correct or i'm wrong
Thanks for the info, I just set this up on my tab and I can use the account to send mail but it seems like it's not receiving; also when I click the sync button it says unable to connect to server. very strange.
Thanks. It work perfectly in my tab.

AWSOME!
just tested this on my tab i like the mail app a little bit better then the gmail IMO
so it seems I'm the only one getting this connection error when I attempt to setup gmail exchange on the samsumg email app =(
Has anyone tried this with more than one exchange server? When I try to add an exchange server, the exchange button is grayed out. I'm guessing it's because I already have a different exchange e-mail setup?
Edit: Interesting - I deleted my other exchange account and I'm getting the same "Unable to connect" to server error message everyone else is getting. I even changed the domain to Google (using some old knowledge I used to do something similar to this to sync my contacts with Google on my old Windows phone devices: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138636).
Any ideas?
I had set up several gmail exchange accounts, and they all worked. However i think that app is memory hog, it's slow, with buggy notifications and in the end i switched back to the standard gmail one. Did you notice that there isn't really any alternative email client on the market?

Can someone recommend an improved email app to me?
I currently am using the default program on cm7. I want one that downloads the messages as well as headers (default takes time to load each.) Also one that lists more emails at once and let's you search them. I really just use pop3.
Thanks

I Personally use K-9 Mail. Can anyone tell me though, does IMAP accounts support PUSH notifications?
Because I set K-9 to only update every 1 hour on the server, but if I send a test email I get it on my phone INSTANTLY. So is this constant polling, or is that push?

Yes, K-9 supports IMAP push(IMAP_IDLE) although it might still be a good idea to have it poll periodically as a backup. Here is a list of K-9 features with push holding down the first bullet.
One annoyance, which is not a K-9 issue but rather a google issue, is with gmail's implementation of IMAP push as it fails to sync read/unread flags. An email you've read in K-9 won't show up as read on your computer(or vice versa) until a poll is done or an email is deleted from the server to update other devices. This works fine with my school IMAP account so it's no fault of K-9 but rather google not pushing read flags for gmail.

get the same result with default mail app. official hotmail app works though.
Don't have any issue here with default mail app. Did you guys set it up as Exchange mail or something else. I'm using Hotmail exchange server setting.
the stock htc mail app is a wakelock whore and doesnt even sync :'(

I don't know what that is. That's probably your problem. When I was using Samsung Galaxy S1/S2 phones, the default Hotmail setting always uses POP mail settings.
So, I always manualy setup my Hotmail using Exchange server settings:
UserName: your hotmail email address
Password: your account password
Server: m.hotmail.com
The default hotmail setup in accounts is newer, uses the correct exchange account settings. The problem is the sync itself, not sure where the problem lies, bit its annoying. You can manually create the exchange account and its still messed up.

I'm using the stock ics mail app and it works way better my Hotmail and Gmail accounts. Sync is almost immediate.
same problem here,
any solutions yet?
Hotmail Sync
I am having the same issues. It seems to be the stock HTC email app. I have no problems with Enhanced Email or the stock Android email app. I wish there was a fix for this as I like to use the Productivity lockscreen which only works with stock HTC email client.
It (HTC Stock email) works fine for my other exchange accounts and has no problem with push.

I've got the same problem, too since i've done a hard-reset of my device.
The integrated Facebookclient got the same problem like the hotmailaccount. Syncing failed!!!
Is there any solution for the problem? I also rooted my device now and installed a custom rom but the problem is still there and very annoying beause there are no more contacts on my device.
i get the same thing if i use the hotmail setup under accounts. i just used the generic email setup instead and it works fine for email. i don't think you get the calender sink that way but i don't use hotmail for my calender.
i have 2 hotmail accounts one from 00' and pne from 11' the second the newer working perfect the old one radomly working but never can send email from it
Mine is not just limited to hotmail...sync is experiencing problems...with facebook, skype n yeah obviously hotmail...anyone knows a workaround for this?

I do a factory reset and now both of my 2 hotmail account does not sync
So I download the hotmail app for now
Same issue here. Running Clean Rom 4.1 SE.
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
That is all she wrote.
Seems to be fixed on the newer 2.33 Asian region leak from today. Hotmail is working again for me.

After deleting emails and after deleting from trash, they come back as new mail
Have tried setting up as imap and pop. Same either way. How to correct?
Yeah, noticed that too dude. It doesn't happens often, but it happens. It could be a bug on exchange services package, a service that gives commands to operate on email app and regulates everything you do in your mailbox, synchronizing them. I'm using an outlook.com account, and you? I'd like to know if this happens to everyone who's not using a gmail.com account or even to them
I used OWA, Nine, Aquamail, bluemail, enhanced email for all my exchange and active sync emails but none had issue. never liked the inbuild email app on any phone as thats just a basic one
