[Q] Advanced Gmail client?

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.

stock client is pop, not push mail

Try the mail'd app off the norton ink. It does everything u want for free! Link is on here somewhere lol

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

hi,
in stock email app, i will to add a account for my *****@gmail.com
later, in account options, is possible to specify the "scan new messages timeout" that
implies the email protocol is pop. imap don't poll for new messages.

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?

[Q] Issue with email program.

I have an issue where my Transformers email program deletes read emails. This happens if I open an email and then if I download newer messages the read email will be gone. I understand that the old emails from the bottom of the list will disappear when downloading fresh email but surely not fresh read mail that were downloaded an hour or so ago.
I understand that in the incoming server settings you can set it so you delete emails from the mail server as well as the Transformer but this is a seperate issue.
Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know how to fix? Are there any other alternative mail programs I can use?
Neil

I reckon you have a setting incorrect somewhere as mine dont delete themselves, and ive got 5 email accounts running through it. None are getting deleted.
An alternative app for you might be K9Mail, available free from the market.

Hi Neil,
Can you gives a little bit more info? What is the email account? Is it IMAP or POP3?
What do you mean "deleted"? Have you checked with another means on the server to confirm? Or is it that you can't see them on the transformer email client?
rio

The email account is pop3. When I say deleted I mean from the transformer, I read an email then go back to inbox and download new email then the email I have just read will have disappeared.
Tomorrow I will try this same mail account as IMAP and see how that works.
I don't think the messages are being deleted from the server, again I will check this tomorrow when I return home from work.
Neil

Ok it seems as though the transformer didn't like my POP3 account, changed to IMAP and it seems fine after a quick test.

Yahoo Mail on the native email client fix

I use Yahoo Mail. I know, I know, WHY? But for those like me who are stuck with Yahoo for one reason or another and hate the Yahoo Mail Android app, I found that the solution I used for my Droid 1 solves the glitches Yahoo Mail has in the HTC Thunderbolt.
For the most part, choosing Yahoo Mail from the native email app works but won't refresh, download, or send on a regular basis. So when you are setup, go into settings (or you can setup as imap from the start) and replace "htc" for "android" in the imap and smtp server settings. Here is my original thread:

Thanks for the info....

no PUSH mail!!

Hello everyone
First of all, very very nice forum, a great place to learn and read.
I am having trouble with the stock gmail app.
itf not as push as should be!
does anyone have another app to sync gmail and get it push to the device?
Cheers !!

Stock Gmail should do the trick as it's the best there is for gmail sync. Mine pushes straight away everytime.
If you really must look for alternatives then try the Samsung email client as that pushes promptly or K9 mail for third party fix.

Are you sure that Samsung Email is able to push?
For me it does not push my mails, but I didn't try to fix it, I'm using my providers App.

the stock email app will push gmail as long as you set it up correctly through activesync...just google gmail activesync settings and put those into the email app

Absolutely I had set up my Hotmail (before official app) and it pushed every single email to me (although i had it set up via imap settings). It even showed all my folders that I had set up on my mail account.

I used both and neither pushed properly, they would sometimes and sometimes not.
You want a good mail app that will push? I can strongly suggest K-9 as one of the best out there.

and for using push gmail, I need to create an accout with which type of account??
POP3
IMAP
Exchange (WebDAV)
??
thanks for the help!

I'm using Gmail with K-9, when i first loaded it up, it configured it automatically without having to set anything specifically.
All I did from there was adjust my polling/fetching and push settings.
I've noticed even K-9 doesn't push instantly and sometimes not at all, but at least it's a better overall program I find then gmail and the stock samsung app.
I've read that it seems to be an Android thing, I suppose just another caveat you have to live with like not having a voicemail app.

Use Exchange and set up manually. Server for gmail is m.google.com.
The best e mail client is enhanced e mail available on the market.

Emailing on Android

HI,
Recently I've been using my email more often and one thing that's always bugged me/annoyed me is how emails dissapear from my inbox. Since Gingerbread-ICS-JB I know it's Android email. So when you're out and about you get emails on your phone but when you come home and check your email from your client (I used Windows Mail and an @cox.net address), the emails on your phone instantly dissapear. Sometimes I need a copy of this email! What to do...Gmail certainly doesn't do this...It syncs everything including folders(labels).

I don't know what you mean. Mine have never disappeared, unless I delete them.

Configure Windows Mail (ugh...) to use IMAP instead of POP3.

This.
Or configure it to leave a copy of the message on the server.
