[Q] Install default 2.3.3 Android Email App? - HTC Desire S

Ok my Desire S is up and running now but one thing I'm having an issue with is connecting to my work email. It looks as though the included HTC email app isn't compatible with our exchange server so I was wondering if it's possible to install the default Gingerbread email app (as I hear this works very well with exchange now).
Is this possible to do on a S-on Desire S? I've had some joy with K-9 email but I'd prefer to use the Android default app if possible.

Try this its the original email app from my nexus s, I've just done the same things with the microbes live wallpaper and that worked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095898
so worth a try.
Email.apk
Let me know how u get on.
**************************************************************************************************************
Just installed it on my Desire S, it installs fine but having problems conecting to server, you do get manual options so it could be me doing something wrong.
Will keep trying and post back if sucsesful

HTC email works fine with my exchange work email.

Got it working, bit of an odd one, it required me to change my password at work before it would connect. Not sure if something was wrong on works' side or if the Android mail app doesn't like certain chars in passwords? Odd either way.

[APP PORT REQUEST] HTC Mail Client (Desire)

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?

[Q] Android in Corporate Environment

I was able to get a Droid Incredible out of my place of work to use for business. I am an IT guy and am looking for some specific things.
1st Exchange support. I have flashed my incredible to cm6 to get rid of sense because I like vanilla android better. This however brings the problem of losing my GAL support through the Sense email/people apps. Is there any app out there that will get this back? I have found Touchdown, and its ok, but I really dislike the fact that I have to input a pin after 5 minutes of not being in e-mail, and it doesnt really integrate itself into android. I was able to find hacked mail apks for both stock android and the email sense app. But with the stock mail app I still lose out on the GAL. And the sense email app is... ugly. Also is it possible to setup a shared mailbox like I can do in outlook? I have an iPhone 4 as my personal phone and its just much better as far as exchange support goes. Any suggestions here would be great.
Second is setting up VPN to work with cisco ipsec protocol. I cant seem to find out how to set this up, though I have read it requires rooting, which I have done.
Thanks for your input.

Yahoo Mail Problems

Anyone else having problems with Yahoo mail syncing with the Das Bamf Sense 3 rom?
i'm also having trouble, and i've not rooted my tbolt yet.
My yahoo mail hasn't synced in three days. At first i thought i messed something up because i had just rooted my phone, however, it seems i am not alone with this problem. Sure wish a fix/solution was out there.
Yep

I thought I was the only one having a problem. I'm not rooted either. Totally stock.
I don't think it matters whitch ron, I had to download yahoo app to get mail. They changed something on imap

Yeah, I usually check my mail on my phone every morning (stock ROM, stock Mail app). This morning it wasn't showing any new emails (despite the fact that I get emails from Newegg every day). I thought it might be an LTE thing, but it wasn't working on wifi, either. I cleared all my data, deleted the account on the Mail app. Tried again, and it was telling me how many messages were on the server, but it wouldn't download any of them.
Later, I force quit Mail and cleared it's data. Now instead of presenting a variety of account options, I have just Microsoft Exchange and Other listed. I picked other, put in my credentials, and it keeps coming back with an Authentication failed message.
It could be a problem on Yahoo's end

i just tried their old pop settings also, with no better luck.
Count me as someone having a problem with this as well. I noticed it a week ago Saturday as I had just installed a new ROM and couldn't get Yahoo to sync.
Try this I've been using Mail and I think you might like it. Check it out from your Android phone:

I got tired of the problems pretty sweet app or current old troublesum way..
Setting up IMAP on your mobile device To set up IMAP on your mobile device please use these settings:
Incoming Server -imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server -smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming Port -993 (requires SSL) Outgoing Port -465 (requires SSL/TLS)
Username: full email address (for example [email protected] or [email protected]) Password: the password you login to Yaho with. If you are having trouble setting up IMAP on your mobile device we recommend reviewing your phones instruction manual or contacting your mobile provider for support

I'm having trouble synching on my TB and my wife's Incredible. Is this a fluke or is yahoo blocking IMAP on purpose?
So this will only apply for Yahoo mail. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
[1] Turn off SSL and use port 110
or
[2] Set incoming server to pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk port with SSL on 995
Yahoo has apparently a bad or expired certificate which is why people are seeing all types of errors like "Invalid Login" or when adding account "Unauthorized User please try your user name and password again" ect ect.
Again use at your own risk this was information from Yahoo support.

That solution is for POP email, not IMAP. Big difference.
With that being said, I have no solution for IMAP. Using POP you'll be able to get your mail, it just won't be "pushed" to your phone.
well it works with cm7
didn't notice. I like the yahoo mail app better. More features and notifications on new messages.
the yahoo mail app is great...it has push notifications
Seems like this is a universal problem amongst carriers and devices. I'm surprised there hasn't been any press about this.
I called Verizon they said yahoo is updating there system so I think that messed
with HTC settings some how I used the yahoo mail from the market place
earlier today and it works fine and I know stock android email also works
on my back up cm7 stock I'm looking for stock email apk that would work

I was told the same thing by verizon rep as well :/
- i just got my thunderbolt sat. and after my initial yahoo setup
using the htc email app, it worked great however I ended up
installing a bamf rom and since then it has never worked.
I'm only able to send but not receive
if you can find a stock email apk that works please update us
I would really appreciate it.
Ok I fixed mine. Easy!
Downloaded Yahoo mail from the market. Installed but I never opened it or used it. It somehow fixed the settings for my htc mail app for Yahoo.
My Yahoo mail now pushes like it did before!

Best email app on CM7 / Boca

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
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Email
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
I was just wondering if some people had found workarounds
Touchdown? It's not gonna happen the application is bulky and ugly...
Thanks anyway
But there is some hope...
Unfortunately not yet for exchange accounts

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.

Already using Good Enterprise for my Work email on my tab. It's not bad actually but eats a lot of battery
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..
Now I am using MIUI rom but missing Samsung stock email app. I tried pasting apk and odex to system folder but it is not working. Is there any way to get this application on miui. I tried. Different market mail like k9, Maildroid bit nothing comes close to samsung mail app

If you follow my link above you will find a version of Samsung's app hat installs on MIUI but is a bit buggy (Will not easily allow to attach something to the email and will not support Exchange accounts)

[Q] Replace htc email app with standard android version?

The email app installed on the HTC One S is horrible compared to the standard android app when using it for activesync/exchange.
It doesn't display email properly and doesn't have message advance and back icons. You have to open the menu to get to them.
Does anyone know of a way to replace it?
You could just install a different email app. I hear good things about K-9 Mail (have not tried personally).
I actually think the standard android email app is pretty bad for Exchange, since its meeting invites do not show time or place directly.
I've used k-9 for imap connections, but it won't do an activesync connection to sync my contacts and calendar, unless there's a new version that does that.
I switched back to "Enhanced Email".
I couldn't find a way to change the ringtone in the one that came with the phone.
I also didn't like that you couldn't move back and forth through the messages like mentioned above.
I see Enhanced Email is $9.99 in Google Play.
I got it for free when it was the app of the day for Amazon.
I didn't know there were any alternatives other than Touchdown.
I'll give it a try.
Thanks.
I fully agree with you.
I already complained a month ago to htc for the lack of html support for example.
They escalated it to their technical support with no answer yet.

What are you talking about? HTC email app has the html support. Its like basic feature!
At least my exchange server, the original ics one showed html while the htc one option is grayed out and not working.

I have three different activesync acounts on my htc one, and none of them display hmtl.
Also, the attachment don't display from the mail client. You have to download them and open them directly from a viewer app.
Weird. It works on my exchange activesync account. See attached.
Attachments work fine too.

I don't think so. Whatever the exchange server version is, html should always be supported. Did you say it worked on other android phones?

When I had my Desire, I installed one of the ICS beta version (AOSP) and on that native ICS email client with the same exchange server, html support worked great.

Its definitely a bug in your email app since it works for me and other android phones. I would suggest removing the account and adding back if you havent tried that already. I would also factory reset and see if it fixes. if nothing, the only option is to get a replacement.

Thanks for the Info and efforts.
I did several factory resets with no change.
I also already had the firmware updated with no change.
I asked htc support about that and they escalated it still with no answer for more than a month.
Yet, when I enter an account which is not my exchange server like Gmail and such, I do get html support. That's why I figured the issue is related top my exchange server version...

Just out of curiosity, what is the version of the Mail app on your phone? Maybe this is not an issue in all T-Mobile US phones because of different version.
