I've noticed the HTC email app isn't the most up to date when it comes to read and received emails compared to the stock email app which comes on the tmobile rom.
For example, I have the same email setup (both are set to push) on the HTC Email app and the standard email app. The standard email app will get the emails a few min before the HTC email app and will update the status on the emails (read/unread) way before the HTC email app.
The thing is I like all the options which come with the HTC email app, so what email app do you guys use? Is there anything better?
Things i love about the HTC email app
- i can setup my out of the office directly from there
- groups my conversations
- the overall presentation/eyecandy of the app

Yahoo mail? People still use yahoo mail?
Yahoo settings
Incoming server setting
imap.mail.yahoo.com:143 no security
Outgoing server settnig
smtp.mail.yahoo.com:587 no security
The sense default email app (Mail) does not handle Y! mail folders, but the android default email app (Email) does.

the HTC Sense mail program is a bit flaky. try the default android one. It should do what you want, but it doesn't work with the Mail widget on the home-screen

Check out Roid its in the market, Thats what am using for yahoo mail ...
Am I missing something? When I setup my phone I set it to sync with GMail, contacts, mail and calendar.
Then when I click the mail widget it prompts me to setup an email account???
Why does this not link up to the application installed on the phone. I was expecting to see an indicator on my homescreen when I got new mail.

your clicking on the htc mail icon. which is for other email services (ie exchange, yahoo. etc.)
remove that icon and add the gmail icon to use.
Yep the Mail Widget DOES NOT work with Gmail. Since Gmail is one of those wonderful proprietary apps it has closed API's even HTC can't use so there aren't apps that can read your Gmail inbox. This the HTC Mail widget only works with HTC's mail implementation.
Download "gmail unread count" in the market will do what you are asking for.

We REALLY need a properly unified inbox in 2.5.
Yea it seems gmail never fails to give me my email notifications right on time, right when I receive mail I get a notification no more then 2 minutes later. But yahoo seems to never update and I get my email like 30 min to a hour later. So this must be droid telling me if I don't have gmail I won't get my notifications on time. Very bias of the android OS. And it sends nobody has a sure
fix for thus as I have searched the forums and have used k9 as well it all fails.

Both GMail and Exchange mail support the feature called Push Email -- it pushes into your phone's inbox as soon as the mail server receives the email.
How do you setup your Yahoo email? I guess you used the POP3 email access which is pretty dumb and doesn't support push email (your phone has to check the mail server every so often to see if there is mail there.
There should be a Yahoo mail app created by Yahoo that also supports push email. You have to use that app in order to get the push email from Yahoo.
Hotmail now also supports push email via Exchange email support. So, no new email app needed.
I have one of my yahoo accounts set up on the yahoo app, but it only allows for one account as far as I know

Then, call Yahoo and ask them to support multiple accounts. Yahoo, Gmail and hotmail all use properitary protocols for their email in addition to support the old POP3 protocol. Gmail and Hotmail have the added advantage of supporting Exchange ActiveSync. So, in order to take advantage of advanced feature like push email, you will need the native client from the respective email provider or use Exchange ActiveSync if there is support for it. It is not any kind of bais in Andriod OS. It is the fault of Yahoo falling way behind the technology curve. POP3 protocol is created like 20 to 30 years ago. Back then, emails often take days to reach the destination.
BTW, the phone's built-in email client only supports 2 Exchange accounts max. I know Gmail client supports multiple gmail accounts as well but not sure how many accounts it can support.
Yahoo does have an app, whether it's any good is a different story. I have tried both, the email app and the messenger app and they are very laggy, almost rendering the phone useless. Then again ymmv
Hi,
I just got my first android phone (HTC Sensation), and I'm kinda wondering if there is a setting that would allow me to return to the mail listing after deleting a mail instead of going to the next message.
Thx.
What email client you using?
I switched to Kaiten Mail which has this option. I don't remember seeing it in the stock Mail app.
I'm using the pre-installed mail client of the HTC Sensation.
What is it called tho, are you talking about gmail?
I use Ehanced Email and you have this option, but i have found the option on gmail too.
If you are using Stock Gmail... you can go into Gmail>settings>auto advance > and select the "conversation list" option....
No, I'm not talking about GMail, but the Stock Mail App, which I use for my IMAP and Exchange mail accounts.
I dint think it came with HTC mail, but if it does then no, there's no option to do this i believe.
I would suggest either getting Gmail or Enhanced Email.
I'm a newbie with smart phones. I'm coming from a dumb phone and just ordered a Nexus 5. Looking at Nexus 5 specs and stock apps, I don't understand why the Nexus 5 has an Email app and a Gmail app. Isn't Gmail, e-mail? Why does Google separate e-mails? I have Gmail accounts, AOL e-mail accounts and Time Warner (Road Runner) e-mail accounts. Can I send and receive all my accounts in my Gmail app? Can I send and receive all my accounts in my Email app? Isn't all e-mail, e-mail? I don't understand the separation. Is Google making e-mailing, unnecessarily complicated? Are some e-mail accounts blocked out from one app or the other?
The gmail app is only for GMail, and is highly optimised for GMail. For example, it has the tabbed inbox (General, Social, Promotions, Updates, and Forums).
The email app is for any e-mail (POP or IMAP). Of course you can use the email app for GMail through the IMAP feature in GMail, but you won't get the optimised experience.

Use Email app to add all your email accounts.
But, if I were you I would start phasing out the AOL and RR email acounts and only use Gmail, this use only Gmail app.
I did this a few years ago and set an auto-forward on all my RR email. Whenever I would get an email sent to RR, I would update my profile's email on that account/service/website's. I now have one email and have the additional features that someone already mentioned above.
