Is it possible to use a different mail apk?

There are few ROMs I like, but their AOSP e-mail clients don't do it for me. Is it possible to use an HTC mail client on non-Sense ROMs like MIUI and CM? If not, are there any e-mail client options for these ROMs?
I'm referring to--I'm not sure how to say it--"real" clients, not like K9 or other third-party ones. Specifically, I'm looking to use the same e-mail app for Exchange/Corp. e-mail and POP, and I want to be able to BCC myself automatically on all POP mail. I don't want to use one client for Exchange and another for POP.
Thanks.

I'm guessing you provide no value to threads.

No framework means no HTC apps on AOSP ROMs, period. I don't know of any other clients like you want.

Thanks. I did check out k9 and Touchdown. Touchdown is a very well done application. It not only syncs e-mail, contacts, and calendar, but also Exchange tasks. I just played with it for a few hours. The only drawback for me is that it does not support POP, so I'd have to used a different client for POP. K9 is just the opposite--it supports POP well, but does Exchange very poorly (really not at all). The search continues...

Thank you OP. GOOOOD question.
The sense mail syncs up all my mail accounts Exchange, pop, etc. good, and all in one place. I will miss that if I go custom rom? Oh me no likey that...sorry to the "named brands" guy but I actually use my phone for all the schnizzle it's advertised to do and to actually do sh*t". I also checked out out K9 and Touchdown and went back to stock for the same reasons you cite.

Don't let the OP's comments throw you off - based on what he said, he's looking for an unusual feature (automatic bcc). The stock email application in AOSP-type ROMs (cm7, Gingerbeast, etc) works just fine for many people. It supports multiple accounts, it works with POP, IMAP and all versions of Exchange (most mail apps on the Market don't work with Exchange 2010) and has the option of viewing all of your email accounts in one unified inbox with color coding. If you want a spiffier version of the stock AOSP mail program, Enhanced Email on the Market has a few more features.

This is correct, but I wouldn't classify auto-BCC as unusually: iPhone does it. More Inspire ROMs do it. Blackberry does it. Windows mobile does it.
The reason I want it is so I have a record on all my outbound email on my laptop (which is regularly backed up). I have a rule set up in Outlook so that when the bcc emails come in, they are moved to a "Sent from PDA" folder. Works great...

OK this is good to know. The main thing for me is a unified box that supports POP, IMAP, and Exchange 2007. I actually have auto BCC turned on at the moment thinking it was a good idea...but I find it extremely annoying and can likely get by without it :-o. Good discussion thanks!

You misunderstood - when I said "unusual feature" I meant it's somewhat unusual for people to want to automatically bcc themselves on all their email. Yes I'm aware this is a configurable option in many email clients. I think it was left off the AOSP client because all of the popular POP/IMAP email services (Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Windows Live, etc) all have configurable settings to automatically store all emails, even sent ones, so that automatic bcc isn't necessary. The auto bcc feature would only be needed for people using something like an ISP email. But I realize this is still a large group of people, so the auto bcc would definitely be a nice feature I suppose. So now that I think about it, maybe more people would like to have this feature than I originally realized. :shrugs:

[App] Hotmail official

Finally for those who use Hotmail an official app with push mail and a widget not bad although the widget isn't very aesthetically pleasing.
Hotmail App

I'm gonna try this one out... there's always the stock app, which does it job good enough, imo... but this one might have something the stock one hasn't...
Thx!

Not a bad app, I expected worse.

nice one
thanks for sharing

Any chance someone could post the apk?

I've been using this for several months as the SEVEN Beta, it let you add any email account including corporate/exchange ones. Still using it and it works really well.

i recommend whatsup app..

Can you add non-Hotmail accounts as well?

Yea, it has Yahoo and Gmail and you can add Exchange accounts too as long as the account has webmail access. I think you can also add custom POP3/IMAP accounts. But for some reason the Beta is no longer available on their site. You can probably find it through a google search though it's called Seven Mail and IM Beta.

Thanks for sharing.

You know you can add hotmail as exchange email using default add account and choose exchange... all you need you hotmail email address and as user name use your email address and password your hotmail password and leave the domain empty and as for server type m.hotmail.com

Yeah same problem , it realy drains the battery.
I realy liked the app because of it html support in email, but it realy sucks because of the battery drain!
Anyone knowing a good alternative with html support and a clean interface?

I'm happy with the battery life using the app. As a matter of fact I switched to using the Hotmail app from using an exchange based email. Under Exchange, push was constantly sending POP3 requests and I was getting errors saying that I was exceeding the maximum number of POP3 requests. Battery life was terrible.
Under Hotmail/SEVEN app, battery life is great and no POP3 errors.
HOWEVER, my problems include
1. I cant add or update my contacts since it only displays the names of the contacts and no other information... like email, phone etc.
2. Some emails won't show the message body. Still trying to determine why certain bodies won't show but the majority will.
Hopefully they can fix both BUGS. Other than that, it's a decent app.

thanks for sharing, really good

Multiple Google accounts on you're phone.

How many of you have more then one Google account on you're phone?
Does it add more Battery drain or cause any issues?
The reason I ask is I have a game linked to one account but it's not my main account. In order to play the game I must use my other Google account.
I guess I'm just asking how many of you have more then one account for any reason at all.

I have 2. One private one school. It drains a bit more than one since I got both on sync. If I only have one on sync I don't notice any difference to one account.

I have several one for business and one for my personal gmail.

Adding multiple gmails wouldn't drain your battery provided you opt for a sync option too often. Since you use an email ID for game purpose and most probably you need regular updates on that better u turn on auto sync for that and just the normal one for other account.

Eight accounts, but I have none set to auto sync. (Living on a border makes setting anything that involves Data to auto sync a terrible idea.) So no battery drain.

A little off topic here, but is there any good reason to have more than 1 Gmail account set up?

I have 3. I don't see any difference in battery life.

Simple. Most of us have multiple accounts.
- A friends account. Usually the one you've had for years. It's also generally an embarrasing and/or unprofessional name.
- A professional account. Because applying for a job under 'Daworldsmahb*[email protected]' is not going to get you hired. Ever.
- A work account. Most occupations give you a company email, and more and more often it's a Gmail account.
- A uni account. Because we really don't want our professors/teachers in our Hangout/ Google+
- A spam account. For all the websites/papers/adverts/coupons you register on that you know are going to spam you with pointless rubbish. (though you usually don't set this up on your phone to sync.)
- There's more reasons.

I'm using 2 Accounts at the moment with no effect on performance or battery drain at all. Need them both because one is for private use and the other for more public

Correct, I actually own a business account, a spam account, a personal account, and a work account.
However, I set these all up on my phone (not to sync) but anyone can easily use my phone and look at the different accounts I have, right? I don't want to set up a lock on the phone because it makes me inefficient and it's pretty slow. Any workaround?
Do people also use multiple Gmail accounts just for the Play Store because I see absolutely no reason for that.

If you dont want to set up a lock on your phone, look into privacy apps. They generally have an option to lock specific apps with a password. (antivirus apps do, too, but eat more battery..)
Not on my phone, but my gmail account is linked to mum's tablet as a secondary Google Play account. Why? Because she uses many the same apps as me, and we're not rich enough to buy it all twice. (Next launcher is 13 euro's, f*ck no, that's 2 days worth of food! .) And if you remove the account, the license check comes back as invalid.

It's not necessarily the apps themselves showing I have multiple accounts, but the phone. For example if I go to my "Phone >> Contacts >> My profile" it shows I have multiple email accounts. It also shows in the Settings >> Accounts that I have a lot of emails.

Thanks for all the replys.

Email app

What all would people recommend for email.
I have been using the stock app on my phone but it's a bit restricted I think.
I've tried K9 but it's so fecking convoluted and overly complicated.
All I want is an app that will allow me to access multiple accounts easily, and quite simple delete an email which will then be deleted from my mail provider server.
I've tried to set this up on K9 and it just won't work. Having turned on my laptop I've just found I have hundreds of mails still on my account which I thought I'd deleted! Having come from Apple I'm now a fully fledged android convert but the one thing that Apple does better is mail management!
LG-G2 / Android 4.2.2

I've been using Blue Mail. It has a nice simple interface and provides some options without being overloaded like some apps.

Make sure you have your email app set up as IMAP (& IMAP authorised on your email account) that way your email will sync. It sounds like it's currently set up as POP which just downloads copies of your email. POP doesn't mark as read or delete from your account. IMAP does.

Ok, so I delete one account from k9 and set it back up bit this time add imap and it's now working more like I want it too. However, the app is still showing costs that don't exist when I look at the account on my laptop. I deleted some folders from my account.?

Email app recommendation?

I have both corporate (exchange) and gmail email accounts and I would like to manage both with a single app. I've used CloudMagic Email in the past. Do you have any experience (good or bad) with other email apps?

I'm in the same scenario and I use the Outlook app to manage both email accounts. Syncs my exchange contacts and calendars as well.

I highly recommend the Nine email app...I love it! My favorite part is that you can set exchange security requirements for the phone, or just the app.

ooh, must check out Nine then
you can also try Boxer, i've been using that for the longest time, even when it was still called Enhanced Email

Been using Nine for almost a year; definitly give it a try!

That was my second suggestion

I use Nine for my work email account even though we use Google for Work because they want me to install policies that let them remote wipe, and Nine sandboxes remote wipe to the application.

k-9 mail app is good to you can set various of settings and does not consume much battery

Im using MailWise for Exchange since it bypasses it.

I use Bluemail

I've tried many, but am very happy with Cloudmagic now

Both Outlook and CloudMagic are nice!

Jp Type mail the best!

Nine is amazing

+1 for TypeMail

I wanted to like Outlook but small things let me down.
General app speed just seemed quite slow. Something simple and constant like e-mail needs to be fast!
Strange behaviour when opening images in e-mails. Maybe I'm stupid, but I could not find a way to zoom in on them or make them full screen.
The stock e-mail app is actually quite OK on this Note 5 with my Exchange account. I've disabled it now to try out Nine. Impressed so far with the speed and fluidity of it. If something bothers me I will go back to stock.

Anything besides Mailwise that allows Exchange Bypass?? I have issues giving my company ability to wipe my personal phone...
