I recently discovered this app called Boomerang and it seems a pretty close alternative to the OVERHYPED Mailbox app for iPhone.
Have any of you guys tried the boomerang app? Is it as good as Mailbox? Does it deserve more hype?
Learn more about the Boomerang app here:

Looks promising only drawback for me is it doesn't have support for exchange yet.

Well it is Gmail only for now but I expect support for other mail services and exchange is coming soon.
K9 Mail is great. I have been using it for some time now and don't have any problems with it. It supports multiple accounts and also has a unified inbox which is really useful.
What is so great about Apple mailbox? My mother has it and I thought it was lame

not the Apple Mail app, but the Mailbox app
i use gmail, i also have a yahoo mail account that i sometimes use, but their app is not as good as gmail
(i tend to use official apps, not apps from third party)
Having come from iOS, this is one of the few apps I miss. This and Sunrise. Apparently there is a version in the works for Android. I don't get why people are so lazy with android apps? Are they much harder to create or something?
I've been using K9 mail ever since I began using android devices and it has never steered me wrong. I am able to manager 3 gmail accounts and 1 hotmail account flawlessly.

WHAT IS IT???
Only available on Iphone, is now for the first time, it's for Android and the app is better than when it's on Iphone.
"First thing I need to mention is that Instagram is a lot more than just a free photo enhancement app for your phone. It connects its users to a photo-based social network that's over 30 million users strong. With this powerful social functionality, the app makes it incredibly easy to not just polish and share photos, but also to keep tabs on friends through the built-in Instagram photo stream. So it looks like the answer is yes, Instagram's got a bit of Tumblr blood in it, and that's good."
Go here for more info:

You can download from the Market (Google Play).

A photo filtering app with user accounts that let you share pictures with each other.
In other words, it's nothing new.
I am a concert from the iphone and I am used to emails autofitting the screen. On this phone neither the gmail not the notice email app does that. I hate scrolling left and right when an email has an image or text that is not in simple format.
Anyone know an email app as good as the iphone native one. Presentation wise.

Havent tried these, but they may fit the bill as to what you're looking for:
MailDroid

InoMail

Not quite sure if it's visually the same as the iPhone App but K-9 Mail is simply the absolute best in my opinion and rock solid. Not only does it resize for you but you can also get rid of that annoying conversation view in Gmail.
I looked at the first two suggestions and not like them. Will try K9 next.

Two good ones.
Not as simple as the iphone mail, but if you want to connect to exchange and get the most use out of it, Moxier Mail is the best one I've used. You can sync calendar, conacts, todo items. It's also the most expensive at 20$ but it was worth it to me.
Before I found the 'GoogleEmail' Exchange updated apk's, I bought Enhanced Email, which worked fine because it was light years better than the stock Samsung email client, but since using the Google version, I have not reinstalled Enhanced Email. Just my $.02

I've tried them all, none of them have left me very happy compared to the iPhone mail app. Touchdown wasn't too bad, but the idea of paying $20 for something not as good as stock on my previous phone was a serious turn-off.
Well I guess the search continues huh? I realize I'm not the norm, but I find Gmail to work just fine, except with certain attachments.

Why the heck facebook takes 100mb ram??
Because its coded very poorly. FB is like crack to most of its users, so they don't care it uses a ****-ton of resources, so FB has no reason to bother coding it efficiently. Like a ton of other apps too. As the phones get more powerful, the devs get sloppier since they don't have to optimize. Same with computers, or any electronic, so few users are going to notice it doesn't matter to lose the few who do over sloppy code when compared to the money and time it might take to write it efficiently.
It doesn't pay to pay attention to such things anymore, there are just way to many of the clueless around out-spending the discerning consumers at a break-neck pace (i.e. the success of the iPhone). Join the herd or be forever disappointed.

yeah u r right, good point! that background detection is pretty bothering though.
Worse still is that even their mobile website is so poorly done that it sucks ever so slightly less than the app. So the only way to use Facebook reliably is with a computer. And morons were surprised when the ipo tanked!
Now ask yourself, did I really just read that? Yes you did.

Thinking about just using the browser instead of the app, it's so frickin bloated.

Friendcaster is a really nice replacement, but it lacks permissions to show all the content, so often you get redirected to the browser. Facebook doesn't only create s crappy app, they also stop third party apps from making better ones :/

Dolphin Browser with the 'Desktop Browser' Addon and Full screen mode does a Facebook just fine. I find the mobile web version a bit more sufficient than the app. Justmy opinion...

A little convoluted, but if it gets the photos to load every time, worth it. That's really my major gripe with the app, after you look at a few photos, they stop loading. I have to back out, force close, and clear cache to get them back.

Thanks!
suggest Aqua mail too
No active sync support kills a lot of mail clients for me. AquaMail and [email protected] have no exchange support at all and K-9, Kaiten and Kaiten 2.0 do not work with Exchange server 2010 which is what I need. The layout for Touchdown is complete dog ****. They need a full redesign before I even contemplate paying $20 for it. The Moxier layout is better than TD but its still stuck in 1999. Enhanced email would be a good client if they offered a split view layout. IMO the most promising client at this time is MailDroid. I like Emoze as well but the layout needs a little work. Color schemes are funky.
Any other observations are welcome. I feel like I'm on a never ending exchange client pursuit.

I'm happy with Gmail except for the attachment limitations (regularly needing to attach documents and files) so am interested to see what apps get recommended in this thread.
Why run a custom Launcher?
Why root?
Why flash different rooms?
Why install a different browser?
Etc, etc, etc...
Because Android is Awesome and if I wanted to be ghey and stay "stock" I'd buy a Crapple.

You need to go with an app like Touchdown then...unless you do some major fiddling around. I think a global search on XDA will come up with some hits to a "native Android" mail app to get around Exchange servers security requirements. Touchdown is much easier...

As one of those IT guys, chances are it matters little to them.
Touchdown works well. If y'all are cloud based then AFAIK your IT dept might well have little control over the config. Native box on site, more local admin control. But keep in mind, Exchange 2K7/2K10 can get squirrely when a device other than MS connects. Apps like Touchdown do help smooth the road a bit. You may want to sit down with your IT people.....get 'em a coffee...and see what can be worked out.
