Stock email app

I just got my phone a couple days ago and love it but couldn't figure out how to change from different email clients when using the stock email app. It allows you to set a default but are you able to go to a different email account besides going to the message app where is takes you to texts, email, fb, etc.
Thanks in advance and sorry if I sound like a noob.

I don't know your answer but if the "other" email account you want to use has an app in the market (most of the big ones do) I would suggest using that instead. Most stock android apps are pretty much just there to get you up and running until you install something better. I only use the default for exchange access for work.

OK that is probably what I will do then. I just would like to have all my emails in one place so it is easier to check.

Oh it's certainly capable. It's just nice getting "native" features like proper labels in gmail and such. If the stock email app isn't to your liking and you want to stay with an "all in one" app then check what the market has to offer.

Messaging App gives you Universal Inbox

Use the Messaging App instead of the Email App - Messaging gives you a Universal Inbox, or option to open any individual email account, Text Messaging, or Facebook.
(I haven't found an email app in Market that looks any better or does any better, for me)

Html links are not clickable in email

New to android coming from an iPhone4. I set my email accounts using the email app but URLs in any email I receive are not shown as hyperlink and they ate not clickable.
What setting should I change so links in email are shown as hyperlink and can be clicked without having to copy and paste.
Thanks

If I recall, Apple apparently sued HTC for using hyperlinks in emails. I'm pretty sure you can find some articles on it through a Google search.

I found out that the emails is defaulted to the smallest size so they all come in as text only with no html. Have to change it to a larger size in settings then they work. Don't know why that's the default. Lame.

Thanks for your feedback. I tried all different font sizes but i still get URLs as plain text.

check your mail account settings and confirm that the Format setting is set to "HTML" (without the quotes). links in my 3 exchange accounts are clickable.

Thanks for the tip. I checked my exchange account and the format option is disabled. Not sure if it is a server setting.
My gmail settings does not have the format setting at all.
I downloaded the k-9 email client and it does not have this issue the. Html links are shown as hyperlink in the email.
Btw I have Samsung galaxy tab2 and it does not have this issue.

Its not the font size, its the mail Kb size. Increase to 1mb and you should be fine.

@mactruck _ thanks for the tip. I set the size to maximum. Restarted the phone bit the problem still persist. It did help a little. Not sure if it will fix mails that are already downloaded. Let me retest with a new email.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I was able find the cause so if the link starts with http...... Then it will be displayed as a link but if the link starts with www.cnn.com then it will be displayed as plain text.
BTW: the size settings needs to be set to 1MB or maximum also. This is required.

Same issue
I have tried making the setting to maximum size, but that didn't change it either. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know. Thanks!

Are you using gmail app or the HTC mail app.
The gmail app never recognized links on my EVO, I then added gmail to the HTC mail app and it worked
Sent from my Synergized Aggressive Lionfish Evo using the XDA app

Same here. With any maximum size setting, links are not parsed. Even links that begin with "http://" are not clickable.
This is using the HTC mail app and only applies to plain text emails (sent or received). Full HTML messages (such as newsletters) display links fine.
Any ideas?

If you're referring to a Gmail account setup in HTC's mail app, had to configure mine as an exchange account to get clickable links. Now when I receive notices from XDA I can access the forum threads via the link.

Thank you. That is interesting.
This is happening across all my accounts: Gmail, professional, personal. They are all IMAP. Unfortunately several will not work as Exchange. I did not know Gmail would and will try that.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again.

Just got an HTC one x and having the same problem. Seems like a stupid issue to have with such an advanced phone. I have to select the link text with those 2 green bubbles that are not easy to bring up, copy, open internet, select address, and try to bring up the edit menu and paste. I increased to max size and it seems to have fixed the problem for some emails but not others. There must be a permanent fix for this.

Thanks for confirming. That's what I do as well, and I agree it's ridiculous. I guess we should all probably try reporting this to HTC.
Going off topic a bit, I had a Moto Atrix previously and I have to say HTC's email app is way better than the one on that phone, which had major issues. Maybe this is due to ICS vs. Gingerbread. At least this app is reliable. I previously had to resort to using K-9, which is very full-featured but has a few issues of its own.

I would be willing to bet that this is why we cant click links...

Weird. I have no troubles at all clicking link. I click them everyday and they open the stock browser/chrome no problem...
I even have it on the smallest font too.

Weird, it works fine for me in stock mail app. It seems like some people are having problems with links in mail AND text messages but I'm not having those issues. Every link that I get I can click on and it opens whatever browser I have set as default. I am having problems adding invitations to my calendar when I accept them from the stock mail app though, and that's a big problem for me.

Well, but simply having a link take you to a browser certainly isn't patent infringement--or every email client out there would be in trouble! However, you could be right that the HTC app originally offered a variety of options, which would appear to violate the patent, and that they somehow removed the simple ability to click at all...
To those whose links are parsing correctly: this happens even in plain text messages? For me, newsletters and other fancy HTML content works just fine but all plain text links remain unclickable.
(Re. font size, I think someone said it was increasing the max. message size, not the font size, that resolved the issue for them. Neither helped for me.)

Deleted emails keep coming back

Do you guys have a problem with deleted emails reappearing in your inbox after having already deleted them? I think it is more an android problem than a TF300 problem as my previous android tablet using Honeycomb and Gingerbread did the same thing. I find myself having to delete the same email several times before it finally stops coming back.
I also noticed recently that I am getting a little audible "chirp" when new email arrives along with the visual notification on the bottom right of the screen. Has ICS always been doing this or is it something new?

It could be that you don't have the app set to delete email from the server when you delete, and thus it is resyncing it. The chirp could be stopped by either disabling notifications in the app, or making sure the notification volume is set to 0.

Possibly your email server is incorrectly configured.

Yeah, I should try kaiten, but there is no free version to try out and it costs 5 bucks to do what looks like the Asus app already does.

Lollipop email app really this bad?

Hey all!
Just got my Galaxy S6 yesterday and not sure if I am not just used to the changes in lollipop or if the changes are really that bad!
What happened to the organization of the old email app?
This may be the wrong thread and if so, please point me in the right direction.
I get a lot of spam at work, and sometimes it is easier to click on the date ticker, which selects all of the emails for that day and I can mark them as read or delete them.
Now it is just one huge stream of emails with no way to pick multiple emails at once to delete or mark as read.
Am I just missing something?
Is there anyway to select multiple emails or do I really have to go through each email individually?
And , if this functionality is not available, can anyone recommend a good email app where I can select multiple emails at once, particularly by date? Otherwise the app is pretty much useless to me.
I have an out of the box Sprint Samsung Galaxy s6 that is unrooted.
Thanks all
Mikeinstlouis

Been using the Gmail app for my Google and external accounts. No issues whatsoever. Stopped using the Galaxy email app built in since the S5 version started acting funky with read mails randomly becoming unread.

Gmail app looks too clunky and doesn't allow me to pick multiple emails with one click..

I use Kaiten.
I tried gmail briefly after I got my S6 but it's awful by comparison. I don't know how people use such a limited app for email.

It definitely does. You press and hold one mail and the colours kind of go grayish. Then go tapping on multiple mails to select them. From here you can perform various actions like mark as read, delete etc.

That is not the what I am looking for. With the KitKat stock email, you can pick the date...say Weds April 22. You click the box next to that date and every email on that date is selected. You are suggesting that I click each indvidual email which is exaclty what I don't want to do.
Any other suggestions?

Kaiten does not have that either.
That's an interesting filter/option. Not something I've needed before.
Have you tried some of the top rated email apps in play store?

Yes...they all are the pretty much the same and don't do the things that the email app did before.

Mike, I use the email exactly as you do. I'd click on a day and the app would check all of the emails . I'd then uncheck the ones I wanted to keep our read and then hit delete. This was magic. I'm lookin at all email apps. Have you found anything yet?

You can activate the select/multi-select option by holding your fingertip on the date bar. The selection boxes will slide in on the left side of the screen.

Hi. All. I need also for the stock Samsung Galaxy S6 the button to select/mark All mail at one time.
In HTC Sense i didn't get this problem.

I was wondering if anyone found a solution yet. I am in same situation...nice new phone but painful to go through emails. I used to select all from he date...same as OP ..then just uncheck the five or so I wanted to keep. Now I have to check 80 boxes. Any new info would be appreciated.

Been using K9 email for a long time...never have a problem

might help
I know this is not what you were looking for but it might help someone looking for this...
to delete all emails you can long press on one email, until it is highlighted grey (or tick the box (to enable this box you can press the 3 dots and go to settings of that email and it is in there to enable tick box))
once you have one email highlighted, the top bar will turn orange and show the number of emails selected and the trash can etc...
if you tap on the number of emails selected (one at this point) there will be a drop down to say 'select all'...
I know it is not what OP wanted but I ended up here looking for this info so maybe someone else will too...

Anyone using MailDroid?

MailDroid is my standard mail app, used it on many phones. But I'm having trouble using it on the Mate. When a message comes in the notification sound is cut off very quickly or doesn't sound at all.
The developer says the app works OK on the latest Android, but I think it might be related to the unusual Huawei chipset.
Is anyone else here using MailDroid?

I use it and it works just fin, NO notifications problems.

I am having the same issue. Any resolution? I have tried different stock sounds as well as my own; all get cut off or play for a split second.

Still no fix here. I thought it might be due to the Mate's very strict battery saving. But I've tried all the settings without success.
I know MailDrid's tech support were looking into it - perhaps you could drop them an email?

I sent an email to the Dev. We'll see what happens. I am like you, love Maildroid and have used the paid version for years. I have MD on my Mate8 and I do not have this issue with the notification sounds.

It's a real pain only getting a short beep, always a danger of missing emails coming in.
It doesn't happen with the built-in Mail app, but that is nowhere near as good.
If you hear something, please come back here. I'll do the same.

Thanks. I sent a follow-up email, still no reply. What are you using in replacement in the meantime? I tried AquaMail - seems ok. Blue Mail, Outlook + myMail look nice, but not customizable.
I really need an app that is customizable where I can have multiple accounts, be able to specify Reply-To, etc

I'm using BlueMail at the moment. As you say it's not as flexible but at least you can hear when you get a message.

Try this... activate notifications in the Gmail app. Turn sounds + icon notifications off in Maildroid. Place a Maildroid widget on your Home Screen which shows the badge count of new emails. When Gmail sound-notifies, open via Maildroid. Once the message is read, the Gmail notification icon disappears from Notifications Bar.
PS... still no response from the dev from my 2 emails.

Thanks! I'll try that, and give the developer another email

Yes, I've been following it. I'm not at all sure that this is 100% a MailDroid fault. Some other email apps are affected, some aren't.

I gave up. I switched to AquaMail Pro. Very similar and highly customizable. $4.99. No notification/sound issues!
