[Q] standard email (NOT gemail) client issues - Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps

Whenever I put in the correct info it just says retrieving email indefinitely.
Anyone else used the app with or without problems?

Have you enabled pop/imap from a desktop pc in gmail itself?

Nope, but I'd really like to use the seperate apps since I have a gmail for my personal use and I have my business email which I use for my freelance work, and I'd rather keep them strictly seperate.

I misread you before, sorry. You still need to set up any other email accounts you are using to enable pop or imap access, so if its not enabled already you will get the type of error you describe, or it will just time out.

Well, it works fine on my phone with the same settings. It's set up for POP3.

I actually like the asus email- i used to be a K9 fanboy until i tried the Asus stock yesterday- have 4 diff emails going to it with no probs. The email widget got stuck on 8 unread emails for a while so i just deleted it and than brought it back and it works great.
Still use k9 on my phone and Archos 101.
I had to set each acct to pop or imap like SD said above for the asus to work correctly...

how would I set the account to POP3? also why does POP3 work for my phone running gingerbread with default mail client and exact same settings?

Anyone else have issues with the widget for the default mail app not updating with the number of unread mail? Other than that it seems pretty good to me.

That should be fixed by running the first firmware update.

Have to say, the stock email app almost good enough to tempt me away from K9.
Is there any way to get the app to download more emails though? I have about 300 emails in my IMAP account. Everytime you tap on "Load more messages", it downloads 25 messages. Have sat there downloading 25 at at time until all 300 are displayed. However, when I quit the app, then reload it later in the day, it automatically syncs and removes all my downloaded emails, until there are only 25 left in the Inbox again.
Bit annoying...
Alternatively, is there an app that combines the features of K9, with the split pane appearance of the stock app?

Yup. From the maker of K9 - Kaiten Mail. A little rough around the edges, but exactly what I was looking for (same as you).

[APP] k9 mail client

Hi,
I just found this app to manage the email and looks better than the stock one.
My only problem is the conversation threads style of gmail, it doesn't appear on k9 so I have 20 different emails for one thread, does anyone know a way to group conversations in k9 like in gmail?
I know this app from G1. It's so old... I do not think, that k9 has anything more then stock gmail app. Also I do not think, that this app is still developed. I think, that your problem with mails thread comes from incompatibilities with 2.1 system (k9 comes from 1.1 times).
k9mail
Hi
K9mail is a powerfull app download latest version from dev website at google code or use atrackdog to go there
Latest version 2510
k9mail seems to sync my emails (and delete them) via IMAP better than the nexus stock app
Yeah, I think k9 blows away stock app, I've been using it for over a year now. But to answer the initial question, no way to thread conversations.
Is K9 still better than stock if your using gmail?
What about search funtionality, I doubt k9 can beat the stock mail clients ability to server side searches back as far as you have mail, I didnt think pop or imap support this? or am I wrong?
i use stock for gmail, and k9 for all other imap accounts.

If you are using Gmail, no... K9 is probably not better than stock.
In fact, I used to (on my G1) use K9 for several of my alternate accounts, one is a straight up @gmail.com account - another is a Google Apps for Domains account. But, now that I can sync multiple Google Accounts on my Nexus, I am only using K9 for my ISP's account. The functionality that the built in Gmail app provides is superb (in my opinion), as mentioned by the OP the threading of conversations makes it very easy to navigate a larger inbox.
Does K9 have "real" push, I want to use it but I don't want it to kill battery faster than stock GMail apps and it REALLY need to start threading!
So wonderfully helpful ...
k9 is slow.. profimail on symbian is way faster.. unfort.
i tried to email them suggestions but they ignored me..
one reason it is so slow is it is not keeping track of highest message id per mailbox.. so everytime you connect it is redownloading the last 25 messages or whatever amount you have it set to.
the second reason is that it is downloading entire messages.. it really only needs to download headers, and keep a connection to server open while you are in the app and then download the body when you goto a message.
if they would implement these 2 changes it would be light years faster.

Any ideas?
Yes, it supports the IMAP "IDLE" command, which gives you what you're calling "push" (rather than polling for email). The latest K9 also supports the "COMPRESS" extension, which transfers compressed versions of the content, which means less data usage, and less transmit/receive time.
and latest version 3.312 supports "Storage location"
- regular internal storage
- external storage (sd card)

Looking for a good email app

What is the best email app out there. I currently use the stock email app and have tried k9mail but I don't like the way either of these deal with folders. I would like to find an email client that can actually work with folders. Any suggestions?

I personally like the pure series thats available in the market it allows you to combine your sms,email and gmail all on one widget with options for skins and such. Also allows for manual and automatic refresh I like it alot been using it for several months. good dev support etc.

Gmail is the best by far
What I was looking for was an email program that had better nested folder access more like you have on the iPhone. I gave up my iPhone for the Hero but their email program had much better folder control.
I use Gmail. Once you understand how to use labels to mark your mail folders are no longer relevant.

Gmail won't do exchange though, will it? I have the stock mail app set to 'as items arrive', and I seem to remember the gmail app won't do that (admittedly I haven't played with that app in awhile).
Googles Labels are very similar to Folders, once you understand them. Take a look at this:
http://lifehacker.com/5513040/gmail-adds-nested-labels-sneak-peek-to-labs
Also, with Gmail on my Hero, if I have Gmail open on the browser on my laptop, I can actually see the emails come in faster on the phone, and then within 30 seconds on the laptop.
I would say, give it a try, set up an account and see what happens.

I have used Touchdown for Exchange and it does support Push email if your exchange server does. It isn't too bad, and there is a trial in the market.

Well my goal would be to be able to use one app for gmail and exchange. Right now I'm using k9 for gmail (I hate the gmail app and don't really like the stock mail app either) and stock for exchange.
I'm looking for a good email widget for CM7 RC2. I just synced my work exchange account with my phone and tried K9 but it was giving me an IO Error (no idea what that mean). I've tried looking for any type of widget, but not really finding anything good. You guys have any suggestions?

Yahoo eMail on Captivate - Successful

Yahoo email finally worked for me (both on mobile network & Wifi)
Please feel free to move this to appropriate thread/page, if this is NOT the place for it. I apologize. Just wanted to share if someone is looking for info on this.
Note: I am running Darky's 8.1 ROM, the Email app didn't work. It force closed on me several times. As a work around, I copied/replaced the Email.apk from other ROM (Axura 2.5 that I saved) into system\app folder using RootExplorer and got it to work with the below settings :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Open Email
2. Select 'Add Account'
a. Enter your yahoo email Username: [email protected]
b. Enter password: password
3. Click on 'Manual Setup'
4. Select 'IMAP'
5. Incoming Server Settings
a. IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
b. Port: 993
c. Security: SSL (Accept all cetrificates)
d. Optional: blank
6. Click next
7. Outgoing Server Settings
a. SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
b. Port: 465
c. Security Type: SSL (Accept all cetrificates)
8. Click Next
9. Give a name to your account
DONE.
Note: If I left the default 'port numbers and Secutiry Type : none' in both incoming and outgoing server settings...it DID NOT work. It would give me and error saying 'Username and password are inavlid'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good Luck.
I use K9, works both with yahoo and gmail.
Does Yahoo push work for either of you? I was able to set up Yahoo Mail using either default or K9 without trouble except it won't push.
The Yahoo Mail client pushes but lags terribly. MailDroid is the only one that will push but not sure if it's worth the money.
Running stock 2.1 on Captivate currently. Will be curious how these work when I flash something on it.
I just use the Yahoo Mail app. I love it.
Why not just use the yahoo mail application from the market. I use that and it pushes email to the phone.
I can have my phone sitting on my desk and on my computer have the yahoo mail box open. My phone beeps notifying me of an new yahoo mail message, I look at the yahoo email inbox on my computer and it still hasnt even shown up there yet. Thats how fast the push notifications are in yahoo email application. Of course you must be on a 2.2 or higher ROM for the google cloud based notifications (basically push notifications) to work.

Like I said, I've found that it lagged terribly. The push notifications were okay, but simple operations like opening emails, deleting, etc., took 5 - 15 seconds per operation. Do you think that's because I'm still running stock 2.1?
@MobileNick
Yes, K9 pushes for me on both yahoo and gmail. It will be under settings for each account you create. There is an option to push in increments of 30min, 1hr, 2hr and so on. Hope this helps.
I like to use just one app for the email since I have multiple accounts with yahoo and gmail.

Thanks. But that's not really "push" is it? That's polling. I was talking about when the email gets sent to the device right away like Gmail does.

Unlikely that it's 2.1. I just flashed to Andromeda recently and the app still lags just as bad as it did when I was on stock 2.1 as well. The app isn't so great imo.

Oh, my bad brotha. I was "thinking" it was push. But you are correct, I usually just use the polling option and set it to an hour, since that's all I need.

I found the yahoo app was terrible on stock 2.1 but once I updated to 2.2 and applied a lagfix it worked much better. still a little lag but very useable.
those of you using the yahoo app, how do you find your battery life?

No - you're cool! I've been using K-9 with an hourly polling and honestly it's not that bad. Push would be cool but not necessary.
cyco722, mechanical tool: So seems like 2.2 with lagfix is the best way to have the Yahoo app work smoothly. I'll have to try it out once I get there!

Yes, you are correct. There is a little bit of lag in the yahoo mail app compared to the gmail app. It did get much better once I loaded an alternate ROM with a decent lag fix. Its manageable in my opinion.
I havent noticed any hit to the battery life using the yahoo mail app. It sits in the background the entire time using no resources, the push notifications come via googles cloud notification service (I believe this is only for android 2.2 and up, when I was on 2.1 I dont recall getting instant notifications).
Thanks. It works for me.
I found yahoo to be way too laggy, not be able to select multiple emails for deletion. had to actually open the email to then delete. And it wouldn't work over wifi. That all added up to a crappy app. I haven't tried it for a few months to see if they fixed any of these. I use k-9 set on hourly poll.

[Q] Email Client?

The installed email client (not gmail) looks decent but fails to support TLS as well as map folders such as Trash -> Deleted Items. I read the forums and noticed that Google neglected mapping issue since 2009!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1811
I tried K-9 Mail for my IMAP email and found it to be quite decent but have a few issues:
1) Is there a widget that can display unread e-mail just like the default one? or last 3 e-mails display?
2) Can I replace the icon?
3) Is there a roadmap to include like a two-pane display like the default email client? Or another email client that is Honeycomb optimized?
4) Is there a way to disable the default e-mail client service since I will be longer be using it? Do I have to care about such services running in the background?
Thanks in advance!

Try Kaiten mail from the Market. It's based on K9, and made by the same person. Has the split pane thing. Little less polished than the stock offering, but the feature set more than makes up for it.
As for disabling stock, I guess just delete the accounts - shouldn't take up any resources that way. Or, go the whole way, and root your Transformer, then you can delete the Email.apk
+1 on Kaiten Mail. 4 updates in the past week - the developer is on top of it, and responds to emails. It's much more polished than it was 2 weeks ago.
Didn't know about Kaiten! Thanks! Hopefully it has the folder mapping. I guess I can find out by trying it for 15 minutes.
Do you know if there is a widget that would work with it?
+1 on Kaiten.
I don't think there is a widget for it. I wish there was...
There is no widget, and I've asked the dev about this - he has got some higher priority additions to make, and will hopefully have a widget done over the summer.
Well, despite rebooting working for me as mentioned above.. it appears as though a problem has crept in with the Asus email app.. basically if I have the transformer's WiFi sleep policy set to "WiFi off when screen off" then the Exchange push email config I have with my gmail stops working.. a reboot fixes it, but I know that this was working before...
The only thing I can think of trying is deleting my email setup and re-applying it - which I've done now.. will see if that cures anything but not holding my breath..
Anyone else using Exchange sync (to gmail) with the Asus email app.. and the same WiFi sleep settings?
I'm trying out Kaiten mail as well. Had some definite enhancements over K9 though some little glitches. For a dollar over the weekend in the Market it's worth playing with. Think i still prefer gmail app bc I got used to the convenience of the conversation style grouping which I find very handy for reviewing strings of messages. Hope to see Kaiten mail evolve as I'm sure it will.

Email app deletes Inbox contents during synch

Hi folks,
The native email app on my Verizon Galaxy S III is setup for POP3 send/receive with my ISP account, just as I've configured on prior phones. When it "syncs" email, anything in my Inbox on the phone literally disappears and new email is downloaded and shown in the Inbox. Sometimes, email sits on the phone for a day then is erased on the next synch.
I've tried turning off synch for this POP3 email under Settings -> Accounts, which seems to keep the Inbox populated longer than an hour or less, but nothing prevents emails from being removed up to a day after being received.
This behavior is unwanted and seems a bug - exact thing happens on our other GS3.
Ideas welcome.
UPDATE: I found a repeatable scenario for this symptom and reported it to Verizon Technical Support. This seems specific to email programs based on the stock ICS code for this phone. I have purchased Kaiten email as a workaround option (it's very good, IMHO - K-9 email is the earlier, still-free version of Kaiten, if you are interested to try).
- ooofest
The included email application also irks me as well; even when I set it to sync ONLY my inbox, it floods me with email from all my other folders, including the junk folder... And to top it off, it syncs waaay more than I tell it too..
Anyways back to your problem, have you tried clearing the email application's data? Perhaps starting fresh with the application might be what you need.
To do that, just to Settings -> Application Manager > Look for 'Email' , press it, and then hit "Clear Data".
When you launch email after that, it will be as if you first opened the application.
Hope that helps..
Thanks, we've tried clearing, deleting/reinstalling the accounts, etc. and no go. I've setup these same POP3 accounts on multiple devices in the past for all sorts of email clients and this is the first to wipe out prior emails before my eyes.
Email should be rather basic and is kind of essential, so a bug like this is odd.
I also don't understand what the Settings -> Accounts -> Email -> Synch checkbox is supposed to do in this case, since the Email app has settings to check for new email every 15 minutes and does so if I uncheck that box in the phone's Settings.
Unfortunately, I haven't found another email client - pay or free - which has a decent interface in comparison to this basic app. It seems stupid to pay for such a basic feature, so I'll phone this in to Verizon as another complaint about the phone (i.e., it won't be the first, unfortunately - I'm hoping this feedback gets to Samsung eventually), but am willing to try other clients just to get a clear, basic interface and solid operation.

Well, if your phone is rooted (it is much easier to do it now in less than five minutes), then you could also replace the stock email application with the aosp email application. It'S the email application that's on pure android. I find it much better than the included app.

Yeah, I've been avoiding root - even with the new procedure - in case the phone needed to go back in due to any h/w issues, since I had WiFi oddness in the first week (which has since gone away . . . even more odd). Just didn't feel like going through unrooting, etc. if returnable issues continued.
It might be what I need to do, though it can't hurt to give Verizon a call and report this app behavior.

I am having a somewhat similar situation. Using the stock email app on my S3, my inbox seems to be deleting any emails older than 1 week? I do have it set to "Never". Anyone else have this?

Yes, though this happens within 24 hours for both of our GS3 phones, despite the "Sync" values in Settings for each account.
I am literally seeing the emails disappear before my eyes on refreshes, as they don't even go into Trash. Something seems awfully amiss.

Don't forget to thank the op of that thread (too )
I decided to root the Galaxy S III (with the quick method), deleted the shipped email and exchange apps, installed the AOSP versions from ICS and . . . emails disappear from the InBox even faster, now. So, there's something odd going on, here.
I found a copy of the Verizon stock image for our phones, researched how to convert and mount the system.img.ext4 file contained therein, pulled out the Samsung SecEmail and Exchange .apk and .odex files, then recopied them into /system/app. Rebooting had my Samsung email working again, bugs and all.
So, now I'm going to unroot and call Verizon Support. Titanium backup had a backup of these apps, but when I uninstalled the apps from the phone . . . it also deleted the backups, apparently. Hm.
Thanks.

Definitely freaky behavior! I don’t have a phone with POP3 in front of me so I may not have the menu wording exact. I found that if you change Amount of Mail to Sync to “1 Month or 100 Emails” (it was the last option in the drop down box) it corrects the deleted email problem.
Hope this helps,

I dont know if you want to go through this or not. I was having serious email issues also. stuff deleting, not receiving, not pushing...etc. I was rooted with a newly flashed Rom and thought maybe it was the Rom causing the issues. Everything on the Rom was working perfectly except this. I also use my email for work so it was important that it work correctly. I had just spent several hours setting my phone up but decided to wipe clean again and reflash. In my set up with Bean V5 it asks if I wanted to restore any emails already set up. the first time I pressed yes, this time I bypassed and instlled everything and prcedded manually not using auto. Everythign went through fine and my email and the rest of the software seems to be working just fine. It was a lot of work and wasted time but hopefully it will be worth it if all works well. Just a thought.

When I reinstalled the default Samsung email + Exchange APKs after backing out the AOSP versions, I went through "Manual" configuration this time . . . we'll see if that matters, but it really shouldn't. Thanks for the suggestion.
- ooofest
Ouch, it's still not working? If manually setting the settings doesn't work, perhaps it is an issue with the email service you are using... If there is a web interface for your email service, perhaps you have a setting for deleting a message after a certain amount of time or after you view a message. Perhaps that's the case?
Just a thought, I hope in the end it all works out for you

Yeah, it's rather odd. I tried our Droid Incredible, Incredible 2 and Galaxy Tab (all on Gingerbread) yesterday, with no problems retaining our POP3 emails.
Seems to be a POP3 issue related to the ICS email client. Testing with a Play email replacement today . . .

OK, while on the phone with Verizon Support, I figured out a repeatable problem scenario:
Setup a POP3 account using the default Email app
Pull down emails from your server using POP3. There will be new emails in your phone's local Inbox and you can do anything you like with them (i.e., all functionality is enabled and operates as expected).
At this point, you can sync/refresh the Inbox for your POP3 account as much as you want and the emails you downloaded remain local to the phone.
Delete some or all of the previously downloaded emails from the server. This happens sporadically in our case, because only our PCs delete emails from the mail server at various points in the day, but our phones poll for new emails every 15 minutes.
You can still sync/refresh the Inbox for your POP3 account as much as you want and the emails you downloaded remain local to the phone.
Send a new email to your account, i.e., place a new email on the server.
Refresh your account's Inbox on the phone by either re-opening the closed Email program or hitting the little refresh circle in the upper right corner while viewing the Inbox.
Your new email will be downloaded from the server. And, all emails that were deleted from the server will disappear from your Inbox.
So, the local Inbox disappearances only happen for emails that were deleted from the server, during a synch that brings a new email to the Inbox from that same POP3 server.
I reported this scenario to Verizon Technical Support for submission to Samsung.
There may be other repeatable scenarios which cause local Inbox emails to disappear from the stock Email app, but I am not yet aware of them.
They had another report of the same issue, with only recommended workaround being the installation of a new POP3-supporting Email app (they suggested K-9).

I can tell you K9 won't work, either. It also deletes all your emails that aren't on the server once you sync just as the stock app does, however I didn't try K9 with the stock email app deleted so who knows? I guess I'll give it a try with the stock app deleted and report back.
I'll be following this thread, meanwhile I'll probably re-activate my Thunderbolt or my old BlackBerry because, unfortunately, I cannot live with this bug.
UPDATE: Use Titanium BU to remove email app(s), reboot and install Aqua Mail, it retains emails after they are deleted on the server!
This means TOUGH LUCK, ebay people, my Galaxy S3 is NOT FOR SALE!

I've moved to the purchased Kaiten email app - from the author of K-9 - and it works great. Respects the settings for each account and there have been no unexpected actions. UI is solid, too.
