Is it possible to add or modify the list of built in email providers that Android knows about?
For example, at our company we are using Pantech devices. When the Email application is launched for the first time it asks you to select your email provider: MS Exchange ActiveSync, gmail.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, att.net, aol.com, aim.com, lycos.com, Other(POP3/IMAP).
I want to modify this to include our companies default email settings if possible.
I've already rooted the devices to customize them so that is not an issue; I just simply cannot find ANY information about this. Are they built in to the APK? I've opened the APK but couldn't find anything inside of it that seems to list the providers.

I want to be able to send an email out of my app, based on the user pressing a button on my app's Activity. The email needs to be sent automatically by the application upon button press, i.e. I dont want to show another email form to the user. And the email should be sent ***using the user's default email account on the phone*** not an email account that I hardcode into my app. And I dont want to have the user key in their email credentials into my app's configuration, I just want to be able to call some android api and say "send this email with this subject and body to this email address, using the default account that the user has set up on the phone".
Is this possible? If so, how?
thanks

Haven't tried it myself but using the SEND_TO intent might be a good place to start experimenting. Documentation is a bit lean on usage though.

I am trying to get assistance in developing an Android E-mail application that is specific to one email server. I am in no way a programmer or developer of any sort. This application would be used to access personal email for military members. I know that this can be accomplished with most standard email clients already available on the market. My intent is to create an email client that has the correct server, port, and security settings locked so that the only customization that the user would have to input is "username" and "password".
My limited experience of application development consists of: downloading and installing "android sdk", "eclipse", and "adt pluggin". I have watched a few tutorials on app development. Then messed around on eclipse for a while. At this point I realized I am way out of my experience level and decided I need to ask for help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a brand new LG3 smartphone, where I want to install a microsoft exchange mail. However in the process it is required that the mail server is allowed to change a number of safety settings on the phone. The mail provider claims that the server do not need to do this, and if I try to install the mail on an I-phone theses request do not come up. Can anyone tell me why this requriement comes on the LG3 and equally important should I allow the Email server to do all these things - ex erase the data on the phone?
Hi,
Can you clarify? Do you mean LG G3?
Regardless, apps have the permissions they have. Really all we can do is install them or not install them.
Thank you. Thread closed.
Hi
Just got a TMobile Z3 to replace a TMobile Note 1, and am generally very happy with it.
However, whilst the Note stock email client opened a (for want of a better description) word processor mini-app when you created or edited an email signature, the Z3 stock email client just pops up a simple text box in the same situation.
I want to be able to create a more structured signature than the Z3 seems to allow - is this a limitation of the Sony skinning, the current Android version, or am I missing an option? If the stock client can't do this (for whatever reason) can anyone suggest an alternative email client that can handle signatures.
TIA

I've not seen any device with default email client that offers more than a simple text signature (not to say there isn't)
Hey all,
After a brief departure from Android to iOS, I have came back with OG Pixel.
While I love everything about it so far, I have issue setting up my work e-mail on Gmail app.
Everytime I enter all the information needed, correctly, it tells me
"This server requires security features that your Android device doesn't support, including: Restrict text email size, Restrict HTML email size".
Funny thing is the work e-mail works perfectly fine on Galaxy models...
From googling, I've found out that it might have to do something with Gmail version?
Any input would be greatly appreciate!!!!
