PUSH Email-K9, Seven. Issues!

Hi guys. I run custom roms like bc. I have issues with push email.
It seems to work on begining and then week later stops working.
Seven is early in it's beta stages so maybe why it stops working
K9 on the other hand never works on evo as push email. It won't deliever unless you do manual check. Also i don't want to do polling every 5 min or so cause that's not push email but pull email which drains battery life. Yahoo client is weird too. Not push. Don't work well. Can't use gmail as my account is on yahoo.
Any ideas? I really would like k9. Any tips, tricks etc ?

?
I have no idea what you mean. Ive been using k9 ever since i switched to droid, on my hero and on my evo.
You are not setting it up properly. You know that PUSH = IMAP right? If youre setting up your accounts as pop3, it wont push. pop3 is pull only.
Download K9 from the website, not the market for the latest release. they upload a new version every 3 or 4 days its awesome. I have 0 problems, and ive gotten everyone I know to switch to it...
more than likely it is yahoo thats the problem. Not to sound rude but android is ALL about gmail. Itll work with other clients but its just not native support. Gmail (imo) is 9000x better than yahoo/hotmail/etc.
I thinkfor yahoo/hotmail imap you have to pay for it.

I don't bother with pop. I installed latest from k9 source. .10 ver. I did auto setup. Did not set anything up manually. Shall I ? If so what would the setting be? I like k9 format but don't work. None do. I finally got maildroid to work and it works great but i like k9 format much better. I don't know why it don't work.

Oh i see you posted a link with settings. Will try that. Thanks a lot for the link.

auto settings for k9 usually dont work. google manual yahoo imap settings and go from there. You may have to get Yahoo Plus or whatever they call it

email app

Hey does anyone know any good email applications for the x10.
My experiences with K9 do not seem to be good. I dont know it doesnt work for me. My emails dont get updated, it something freezes. BUT it does have good features.
I tried maildroid but it doesnt save the emails for offline reading. Still waiting on developers response.
The stock email app is okay but lacks MAJOR SIMPLE features. Like "select all" "delete from server"
Are there any other good Email Apps??

re:
Did you email me? I respond to every email, so you should have seen something. In any event, offline cache is just set for pop3 right now. I will be supporting offline cache for IMAP in the next version which will be released next week.

lol the world is small
yeh thanks

I find maildroid to be rather awesome, would be nice if I somebody could me figure out how to access an exchange server which isnt running on port 80 for ex. http://exchange.myserver.com:8093/exchange

i have been using TouchDown from Nitrodesk. This is so far the best mail client for accessing exchange mail and it support HTML.

I find that the one that comes with the phoneisn't so bad, but it's the best looking of them all

[Q] E-Mail Notification

Okay, I have been through this so much. Email notification for anything other than GMail.
On stock, any emails that come in from say Yahoo, AOL etc get the notification bubble on the Mail app. However seems like if we flash a ROM that is senseless that this just doesn't work.
Things I have tried:
Wiped Davik Cache and re-flashed ROM
Used POP3 settings for AOL
Used IMAP settings for AOL
Used Launcher Pro, no go
Used ADW Launcher with Notification add on.
Installed 3rd party ROM with Sense.. and it works perfect. So what is it that a senseless ROM breaks?
Looking for a program that either one shows new email notifications (bubble) or what settign to make it work in a Non-Sense ROM.
Please I am not looking to kill off my AOL account as I have had it for 10 plus years. I have both gmail and aol and would like to use both.

You can link the aol account to your gmail account.

That would make all emails go through gmail. Thanx for suggestion. Lookign for why it works with sense to have both inboxes and get notificiation no problem..

Because it's a feature of HTC Sense. You run a "senseless" rom, that feature is removed.

So the capability is completely broken in a senseless ROM? No way?

I'm sure it isn't completely broken, there is most likely a workaround somewhere. Unfortunately, I only use Gmail, and run a Sense based rom, so I am not sure how it would be done. The AOSP mail client has different features from the Sense mail client on Android.

I think I get what your saying. If the mail client was left in from the Sense, whihc it usually is, that apk works only as a sense based. So when sense isn't runing it down't work anymore.
With our great developers around here would have thought a fixed would have been done by now..

I don't think very many people use AOL anymore, so it probably isn't a priority at all. You might be able to PM a developer, or post a request in the Q&A forum for it.

I get that, but you also have exchange, yahoo and all the others this phone can use.. not everyone in the world has gmail. LOL
I do appreciate you answering tho... must be some answer out there...

I can't seem to get K-9, maildroid or enhanced email to work reliably with Sense. However, when I go to sense they all work perfectly. Go figure

Hi guys,
First day with the new phone. Coming from a bb torch and was wondering if there are any apps to receive instant email?
Thanks

Um - the built-in email app? Just set it to push delivery. I'm assuming you are using an Exchange server for email?

for true push you want k9 mail in the market. there was also maildroid but people prefered k9 even though they had nearly identical features.

How is ActiveSync's push not "true push"?

well i havent cared to check lately to see if it improved but if you installed k9 on the captivate and had both running k9 would always give you a notification long before the stock app. but im thinking back almost a year, the email stock app may be improved now, lately i have only used my phone for checking email not replying or composing but i remember the stock apps being limited. k9 seemed more fully featured, could attach any file type and had a global inbox for all your accounts.

Well, I used "Improved Email" which is a slightly modified version of the stock app - primarily because it lets me setup multiple Exchange accounts. But anyway, I routinely get notifications of new emails on it before my desktop notifies me (granted, my desktop is running in "Cached Mode" - but still...).

oh sorry. due to insomnia my brain isnt working. yes the stock app may have push for exchanger servers but it doesn't for personal emails. k9 might not be "true" either but it is much faster than the stock app can be on your gmail and other accounts. i need to watch how i word things but what i was getting at is in many cases k9 is very near real time notifications for most email accounts.

In that case I defer to your experience. I don't really use my Gmail account, so I have no idea how quickly it delivers email. I only assumed the poster was using Exchange because that's Blackberry's claim to fame - and I've never understood why Blackberry users seem to think that BB is the only way to get their email immediately - Exchange server has had that functionality baked in for years.

well the gmail app delivers the gmails fast but that app sux for full time use
i used to use k9 and killed notifications for gmail and email. now i stopped caring, i dont have a work email anymore and i stopped using my other personal email from an isp i no longer use so im down to only my gmail but use my computer to reply now as nothing in my life is that urgent at the moment that i need to reply from my phone where ever i am. i may be out of touch with what works now.

Thanks for the help guys. FYI it has nothing to do with thinking that bb's are the only phones that can get instant email. Just some people arent as tech savvy or forgot since they havent owned htc/wm phones in a long time OR never owned android like myself.
I do appreciate all the help however guys!

Uneditable contacts sync with hotmail for android...?

I've been using Hotmail since 1999 and recently I downloaded Hotmail for android app. Everything was smooth until I tried to enter a new contact, where I found that I cannot do that. Partially I mean. I can only enter the name field and nothing else. I cannot edit the synced contacts too.
because HTML mail was not possible with the default mail app in android and exchange in Hotmail, I used to forward my mail to Gmail and use the Gmail app.
I was very joyed with this app release and now facing this bug.
I googled but couldn't find any solution or similar bug reports.
Am I the only unlucky person or others have this problem too. I'd there any fix for this.
I have already tried removing and re-adding, uninstall and reinstall.
I am using cm7 on my wildlife.
Thank you in advance.

You are not alone! Still looking for a solution myself.

Have you tried using another email client and signing in through it?

Same problem here. Hotmail worked great through Activesync on Android, but this app is much nice. But contacts edit is not working at all !! And not found any fixes thus far.
-sony xperia arc w/stock kernel

Still to fix
Sorry to say that I am having the same issue. Have to been able to find a fix. Please let all know if anyone can figure this out.
Thanks.

Same problem here
I too have the same problem. I erased everything, tried with another gmail account, made sure to not sync anything with gmail, with no avail. This is a huge bug.

Response from Hotmail
So I contacted Hotmail about this issue. Here was there response:
"We aplogoize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. Please understand that the ability to edit contacts on Hotmail app for Android phones is currently not available. However, our product team was already aware of it and a fix is being considered.
Thanks,
Windows Live"
Hopefully this fix will be soon.

How silly to create an app without editing capability... i have switched back to exchange. works seamlessly.

No HTML mail with exchange on my Wildfire....

I'm looking for a solution to this one too. The Hotmail app is actually pretty good, but the inability to edit contacts is an odd bug.

Solution
I tried Contact Editor Free by dmfs in the Market. It lets you edit the hotmail contacts and sync them back up.
I've only tested it for about a minute, but it seems to work.

I gotta tell you.
I've done a research. Microsoft is aware of the issue since about November/December 2011. SEVEN (the actual manufacturer) confirms it and reports work in progress (in February/March?), an update to the app has been issues by the end of February but the issue has not been addressed and has not yet been resolved.
I used Microsoft's support forums to ask the question, how to sync the contacts then, if nothing works as intended.
One of forum's moderators confirmed the issue, another asked how did I exactly try to sync.
If you would be kind enough to visit the question page yourselves and click "I have that question too", I'd be thankful. Maybe they'd actually do something instead of constantly apologizing and confirming either the issue or the progress of the works...

I tried Contact Editor Free by dmfs in the Market like Joe USer and works ok

Microsoft ? SEVEN hotmail app
Microsoft + SEVEN app bugs. Please go here and vote:

use Contact Editor free by Marten Gajda.
worked for me.

Don't know why I never noticed this before when I was using my Galaxy S2 but it hit me today on my Nexus 4. I was trying to find out why Bluetooth handsfree calling through my Garmin wasn't working and it is because the Garmin has all my contacts showing last name first even though they aren't presented that way on the phone. When I tried to view the contact directly through the Contacts app, I saw that it was showing last name first and I couldn't edit the contact to try and fix it.
We are what, over a year since this was first recorded here and still no fix other than a third party app? This wasn't an issue on my BlackBerry.
On top of that, it makes handsfree unusable since there seems to be no way to get the contacts to list with the first name first. The contacts are all fine on Outlook.com so something is getting messed up with how they are presented in Android.
