[Q] My and Wife's Email?

Have one arriving today. I anticipate my wife and I both will use it. Basing it in the kitchen.
Anyone know of a reasonable way for it to handle email for both the wife and myself? I'm sure we could access Gmail via the Browser, but just wondering if there is a client. Then of course I expect there to be a login / logout for each of us if it is even possible.

You could configure the Gmail app for one mailbox, and the normal Android mail app for another. They are both accessible by different icons

Gmail can monitor multiple accounts but it doesnt really do what you want to do to separate them.
This is one of my biggest beefs with tablets at the moment, there arent multiple logins. Its assumed that everyone is going to have their own personal tablet with their own bookmarks and such like a phone when it isnt the case. Hopefully Google is quick to recognize this and allow multiple accounts to access the device like a Windows machine.

I'm not sure how it is on honeycomb since the gmail app is newer than the one on the market, but on my phone running gingerbread, adding a second google account creates a separate section in the gmail app so that both accounts have unique folders rather than combining them.
You could of course add one through gmail and another through the stock email app, or access one via the browser.

Gmail will handle two accounts just fine. As long as neither of you have problems with the other having access to your account. In the upper right corner of the gmail app you'll have hte ability to switch between mutliple gmail, or google app accounts. The calendar apps will show all calendars in different colors as well and let you filter out only events from certain accounts if you'd like. Same with contacts.
If all you care about is gmail you just un check everything else in the account sync options and you will easily have your two accounts to access.

The android mail app works quite fine with gmail and push messaging as long as its set up for an exchange account and not gmail which seems counter intuitive but works great

You can also put widgets on the homescreen specific to each account.

This is great information. Many thanks!
The ASUS arrived about 15 minutes ago. Charging it now.
I'll experiment with the various thoughts, and post back how I ended up doing it and how it is working out.

I wouldn't use the Default Mail app for Gmail. You're better off using the actual GMail app.

I added my wife's account to the Gmail app, and it works great.

IMO, Default email app for gmail is crap compared to the gmail app itself.

Why not? Works great for me and I prefer it. I'm not sure why I'm better off as it acts pretty much exactly the same, and it lists my inbox subfolders better than the gmail app for me.

Email apps

Hi i was wonder is there a email apps like HTC VIVID? gmail, yahoo, hotmail all in one email apps.

K-9 mail works great
https://market.android.com/details?...result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5mc2NrLms5Il0.

K-9 is a great "free" email app for Android but if you don't mind dropping some money for an email app you can check out Kaiten Email which is a more supported and refined version of K-9. Also, I was lucky enough to get Enhanced Email when it was Amazon's FAOTD and I think it adds more features but also a higher price tag, but I have had no issues with any of them.

I have enhanced email but I like the stock better, I only wished it had the check marks so I can delete multiple email from the list w/out having to open like the enhanced email.

One thing to note...
The enhanced email developer is really interested on people's opinion.
That is a good thing!
I expect a couple of updates to this program soon.

I tried stock & K9 and found Enhanced Email works best for me after fixing a few default settings.
I've got an EE widget pasted on my lockscreen so I can see how many new emails I have without having to log into the phone.

K9 was probably more powerful & had more options. But was just too flakey.
And missing a couple critical (to me) features that made no sense why it didn't have them.
edit: Enhanced Email is flakey with Hotmail & Live (at least with settings I'm using). It's flawless with Gmail and Yahoo though. Still using & loving it.
Also, there is no option to mark email as "SPAM".

I use K-9, but was wondering what were the critical features you wanted?

K-9 does outlook exchange 2010 yet

Is there anything to auto delete bulk mail?

Email

So since I updated to the leaked ICS, I setup the default email client to my yahoo business account. I must say I hate the change to it they have made. In honeycomb I was able to set it to delete emails from the server as I deleted them from my phone, also it would download all my old emails to my phone as well. Now I can't do either of those and it goes through that social hub crap thing. Anyone have a email app that will work like the old email app in honeycomb?
Thanks

Personally, I like the solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24243224&postcount=3
It creates a new default Email app with lovely exchange integration, and you can remove Social Center

I have not rooted the phone at all so I am pretty sure I can't use tibu.

use K9 mail. It allows you to specify how many emails to sync as well as server side actions.

Yep K9 mail does exactly what I am looking for.

Help choosing an email client like *ahem* iPhone

Hi guys. Recently made the big move to android (nexus 5) from an iPhone, and really like it. One thing that I don't really like are the email apps, including the built in one. I have 3 email accounts that I use. A hotmail, a gmail and a business gmail account linked to my work email. On my iPhone, all the accounts web folders (sent, junk etc) automatically appeared. Now on android using the built in default app, all those folders seem to be for emails I have dealt with on my phone, not all emails. To get those I have to click on the folder "Google mail" and then the folders are there. It just seems to be a bit long winded to achieve something that I was able to do on an iPhone no probs. It could be the fact that I haven't set up the email folders correctly for each account. Is this something I can do?
I have also tried other email clients, but again they don't seem to be as user friendly as the iPhone email client.
Hope this makes sense
Thanks. Nick

Have you try to add your account via the exchange system? It works pretty well for me and it syncs email, contacts and callendar.
If you just want email maybe you should try cloud magic.

Maildroid is a good choice. If you really are interested in a good mail App without any add and bugs you can go for maildroid pro version. The best thing you will found in maildroid and maildroid pro are best support from developer through mail... Just give it a try with free version and if you really are interested go for pro ...

Question What is the Email app that you use?

Hello!
I'm using Gmail since IOS but i don't really like (it's pretty basic).
What do you use?
Thanks

FairEmail opensource

FairEmail +1

I use spark. Nice interface and smart inbox feature.

Gmail has a well rounded ui, comes with the phone (is not uninstallable), and just works great, with different email hosts as well, so I just use that.

AquaMail is the best IMHO.

I use Samsung own email. I think it's fantastic. Very fast and perfectly integrated with Samsung calendar app. Far superior to Gmail IMHO. In fact it only works on Samsung devices and is one is the key reasons I stick with Samsung devices.

I use Microsoft outlook. It has email and calendar in one.

I used aqua on 3 phones and must say it is pretty darn good.

I use Gmail since it will automatically sync with all the Google accounts I logged in, and I don't want to install another app just to read my emails

Samsung email, works great!

Aqua email

Blue Mail for work.

gmail for my main account,
yandex for 2 of my business accounts,
samsung e-mail for other 4 email accounts.

MS Outlook for me.......

I use Samsung email as they have been improving it over the years and I have never had any issues. Plus it comes pre-installed on Samsung phones.

Microsoft outlook. One of the main reasons I tend to stick with Samsung is the amazing synching and overall integration between my outlook contacts and calander with the Samsung native calander and its own phone/ contact list. Same for e-mail.
One thing I always wish for is S-pen integration with outlook calander. Anything I write in the Samsung calander never synchs and therefore doesn't show on outlook calandar. I'm not sure if this is something lacking from Samsung's end or microsoft's. Either way I really hope it'll be implemented soon.

I've used Blue Mail for many years. Not looking to switch
