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

Yea, did that this morning. Use sense and the mail app and it works perfect. Everythign else, nada.. seems all i see that wok is Gmail outside of sense.
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.

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:
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..

Son of a... no Honeycomb love. I have the same problem with my bank's app and a bunch of others. I have spare parts. It will scale to full screen. Just let me download it, dangit! This is android, don't tell me it's not compatible.

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
I switched recently to Boca and could not be happier in terms of performance and battery life.
I am missing one thing though: the well designed / slick / beautiful email app from Samsung (probably the only touchwiz thing I miss I would say)
Which email app are you guys using? Kaiten, Moxier, Enhanced email look interesting. Any advice?
I remember a post a year ago explaining Samsung's email app was just a derivative of another one but I cant find the ppst anymore... Could be interesting to explore this as well

Email
I tried Maildroid, it seemed okay. I prefer Samsung email over the Gmail app too...
I really like the Samsung email app on my 8.9. I use that for my work email and keep my personal email in the gmail app. On my galaxy s and my (former) evo I use the enhanced email app. The developer for that app was really responsive when I first got it (back when it was $0.99, and had less than 50 downloads). I originally got the enhanced email app because it was the first one I could find that offered exchange phone lock password requirement bypass.
Thank you, I will have a look I checked K9 and Kaiten mail but I can't believe they still don't support Exchange 2010
I lve the Samsung app, definitely my favorite but I haven't found anyway to install it on a non Samsung ROM. I tried restoring with Titanium backup, I tried installing through ADB, but then got some certificates issues... Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Couldn't find anything on the web with people able to go around and install it
If you want the samsung mail then you need to use a Touchwiz based rom. Boca is a CM7 based rom. Other than that if you need trie exchange support then touchdown is the best. Or just use imap and kaiten.

Yes I know that you need a Samsung Rom to have the right certificates for Samsung's apps which is definitely not the case with AOSP or CM ROMs
I was just wondering if some people had found workarounds
Touchdown? It's not gonna happen the application is bulky and ugly...
Thanks anyway
But there is some hope...
Unfortunately not yet for exchange accounts

Its not even about certificates more so than the whole touchwiz framework that needs to be there. If you are just after two pane email.for your gmail, run 160-182 dpi and set browser for ipad and you will get the gmail ipad site. On the other hand, Touchdown is not ugly once you fiddle with it but is the only working EWS client next to ICS I believe, unless you want Good for Enterprise (shutters at the thought).
Lemme know what you end up with.

Already using Good Enterprise for my Work email on my tab. It's not bad actually but eats a lot of battery
I am not looking for an app for GMail, but my personal exchange email. It looks like the one tat messes the least with your overall Android experience is Enhanced Email (And it does support Exchange 2010 accounts). Only downside is it doesn't seem to add any proprietary calendar and to be honest the default Android calendar is relly... ugly... (And not very practical)
Forget about Enhanced Email... It looked interesting from everything I read... BUT I tried the eval app. It resets all the sync emails every time I get over a few days emails... (Could be an issue with the trial version though, but if you make a trial version, you make it good....)
Besides it doesn't allow you to input from your device more than the name, number and email of a contact. Forget about birthdays, etc...
The developer seems reactive but it'snot going to be enough. Aaah I miss my Samsung's email client !!!
So, not I wont get this and I may very well stay on the stock app even though it misses pinch and zoom as well as search...
I hope ICS will be better. Anyway K9 is getting close to a good working solution for Exchange 2010 so I will probably wait until then..
Now I am using MIUI rom but missing Samsung stock email app. I tried pasting apk and odex to system folder but it is not working. Is there any way to get this application on miui. I tried. Different market mail like k9, Maildroid bit nothing comes close to samsung mail app

Happy to find someone who shares my opinion
If you follow my link above you will find a version of Samsung's app hat installs on MIUI but is a bit buggy (Will not easily allow to attach something to the email and will not support Exchange accounts)
I'm not new to Android or Marshmallow, just the S7 and the Samsung skin and apps. I currently hooked up my company's exchange client using the S7 account manager and am using the mail and calendar app in Knox. Anyway, the crux of it is ... I'm not really liking the way the mail app works. I was previously using Touchdown on my Moto X and have been pretty used to that. Is there any opinions on whether the default mail client sucks, or is good does somebody have an Exchange (Activesync) mail client they REALLY like and want to suggest?
Or is this just a case of 'give it a few weeks to get used to it' sort of thing.
The same thing applies to the dialer, though I feel more stongly about this. I much prefer the stock Android dialer to the Sammy one. Can somebody give me some guidance on how to switch back.
Also, I'm really not liking the messaging client. That's easily switchable, but before I completely abandon it is there any really good things about it I'm missing out on that should make me reconsider?
Thanks,
- Steve

+1 for the Google Messenger. It's the only one I've used for a while now.
As for Exchange, I put all my work stuff into My Knox - using the stock email client - and perfectly happy there. I used to use Touchdown as well.
