I was trying to find an old email that I got a long time ago then I realized that every time when I try to search for an email and I forgot which email account the email was in, I will have to use my iPhone to find the email. I've been using maildroid and the search is completely useless. It doesn't do all inbox online search, and even if I do individual account online search, it still doesn't seem to work as well as the iPhone's email app. Is there an app on the play store that searches email as well as the iPhone's email app? It's very annoying to have to go back to my iPhone whenever I try to look for an old email.

Which email do you have? Gmail? Try to sync more then 3 days old mails (Settings -> Days of mail to sync).
Try to use Aqua Mail - email app, Or K-9 Mail app
I only have yahoo and gmail. I tried syncing more than 3 days old mail, but when I search emails, it just doesn't go far back enough. When I do a search, my iPhone could find all the way back to 2008, but on K9 or maildroid, it only does offline searches or online search for individual mailbox and offline searches couldn't go as far back as 2008.

My wife is looking for the best Email client for use on the TF. I use K9 but the interface is not very good on the tablet and she does not like it. Nor does she like the Asus one because emails are not stored for very long.
I was telling her to try Gmail but I never liked it because it seems very slow to receive new mail.
What is everyone using on the TF?
Seriously gmail is slow? Did you use it on the gmail app? Cause my phone tablet update before my gmail inbox on browser.. its about protocols. If you are using gmail in K9 via POP3 or imap and comparing it against your work exchange account it will seem slow.
Beyond this you could check the xda forums for the samsung galaxy s tab email app or give kaiten mail a try (available in amazon appstore).kaiten mail is k9's tablet optimized email app.

That's for exchange servers

Thanks for the good suggestions.
Would like to stick with a free app if at all possible. Also, she doesn't have a need for communicating with an Exchange server.
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.

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 ...

Hello.
I'm noticing that the stock email client won't search my emails directly from imap server but make an offline search instead among the emails that are already synchronized (in my case past 2 weeks).
That's awful and make the search very useless.
It's interesting that exchange online search works OK.
As far as I remember, my previous phone (Galaxy Nexus with aosp) could search online trough IMAP as well.
Any ideas to get this working?
Regards.

Hello all I have been a long time XDA member and took a leave of absence due to MS not really tailoring to Windows Phone.
I just picked up a S8+ and it is a nice device but I am struggling a bit and remembered how hopeful this site is.
Is there a single email and calendar application that can handle all my email accounts (live, office 365, work exchange)?
In addition I seem to be missing a good bit of contacts as I have my primary live account and gmail account on the device.
I can tell you this is a nice device but coming from Windows phone setup is tedious I have to figure out my facebook contact sync and WhatsApp sync as well.
Any tips from a convert would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for all your help my new family
I have been away from xda for quite sometime because I had an iPhone, switching to this phone also was a bit painful but it turned out to be easier than I thought.
You have Gmail, I'm using it for my work email (Microsoft), Hotmail, Yahoo and my Google account. It's works very nice.
As for the missing contacts, you can go to settings and accounts and add any account you want, open it, and activate contact sync. Not sure if it can sync Facebook contacts. Or you can just try from the Facebook settings
Hi there,
im using Outlook for syncing mail and calendar. However using samsung calendar app you have everything synced and good to go. Also, you can sync your exchange/office365 to show your contacts in contact list.
What have I notcied, that Microsoft have much improved their apps on Android. Take a look at BlueMail as well - it syncs gmail and office and any other mail you need.
For Facebook i'm using Metal as I hate stock facebook app.

Yeah but the native Samsung Email and Calendar apps don't grab this information. In addition adding new contacts is such a pain as you have to do it directly in the outlook app instead of the default phone/contacts app. I have had this issue numerous times.
I hope they are able to fix this as I shouldn't have to migrate all my shared calendars to google from outlook.com to be able to work with them.
Great device but these items should just work and I think it may just be a Samsung issue I am working on getting another device to test.
As amon87 said BlueMail is the way.
