[Q] Search on stock email app - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a couple of pop3 accounts on the native android email app, but I can't seem to find a way to search for an email. I could search for them on my gs4 but I haven't found the way to search for them on here. Is there something I am not seeing??
So to wrap it up, does anyone know how I can search for an email on the native kit Kat email application (not Gmail)?

Maybe it's a pop3 thing because i'm sure it does on Live.com email (exchange activesync or EAS). There's a search button right at the top of the main window.

Shows perfectly right there.

Why is there no Gmail application (not java based)?

Seems kind of stupid. Even AOL has finally got around to updating their archaic AIM software for Windows Mobile.
one can use the normal outlook on windows mobile to send and recieve mails from gmails though
I do that. One thing I can't accomplish is deleting from the Gmail server by deleting off my device.
you should be able to by "moving" the email to the gmail trash. If you just hit the delete soft key, it just archives it
Are you saying in pocket outlook moving emails to the gmail deleted folder or in the java app?
Neither does server deletion for me.
It works for me.
I "Move" the email into the "Gmail" - "Trash" folder and it goes into Gmail Trash.
Just checked it. It's not in my All Mail anymore
Here's what i use
GMail IMAP connector. Not only does it synchronise deletions it synchronises read/unread as well. All you need to do is enable your GMail account for IMAP, not POP3.
Interesting idea...does that install directly on to your device or your desktop?
Bump for an old thread but I don't like the IMAP method.
Is there any word on getting the gmail app to work? JVM?
I want to be able to search 4GB of mail and find my stared messages quickly like I used to on my Samsung Blade (A900)

Email In Android

I setup my Yahoo! Mail and it never let me pick to use POP or IMAP. I think it's using POP because I don't see and of the folders that I made in my webmail (or other IMAP clients).
Is there a way I can use IMAP and move messages to other folders on the server?
Also when I deleted a bunch of messages, when I went to check my webmail they were still there and marked as unread. Is there something I have to do to make it delete them from the server (In Windows Mobile you have to pick "Send/Receive..."
I started using K-9 Mail http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/downloads/list
I only use Gmail and it does imap perfectly. About 5-10 second email receive time. Lets you configure each account if you want delete to delete or mark as read on your email server.
A great feature for reading lots of email from multiple accounts is all email in one list and flip through them. Speeds up email reading compared to other programs I have tried.
Is K-9 Mail not on the Market? I searched and only found plugins. I will try that link you posted
Market has 2802 the link will get you the latest ver

Huh? I don't follow. 2802?
Anyways, I installed it. How can I select multiple messages without selecting them all?

[req] email app allows moving mail between folders

Hello
I like the email client that comes with android (the one for accessing secondary email accounts). It does seem to have a major limitation though, you can not move mail around to different folders (e.g. lets say an important message ended up in my spam folder by accident, I can not see any way to move that message to the inbox)
If this is in fact possible could someone please tell me how to do it, but if it is not (which from what I can tell this is the case) can someone recommend an email app that supports this function.
Thank You
***UPDATE***
Yes I am using the vanilla/AOSP email app being that I am running cm6
The email account that I am connecting to is my AOL account. I am not 100% certain but I thought AOL uses IMAP.
So I guess the new questions are 1) does AOL use IMAP and 2)does the AOSP email app allow you to move emails between folders
If what you are accessing is a POP3 account, then I believe no email client permits you do do this (as this sounds like a sync function only found in IMAP accounts).
What I found to work best (and easiest) is to have my alternate email accounts foward all my mail to my gmail account, and have my gmail account tag each email with the name of the incoming account (hotmail emails are taged hotmail, etc.).
This lets me recieve all my email with one single app (Gmail), provides me with push notifications for every email, permits me to sync emails effortlessly, an so on.

I'd think that any email client can do it, but I personally use K9 Mail and love it, and it certainly does this.
As the above poster says, if you're using POP this might not be possible. IMAP it certainly is. You should not being using POP anyway.
Don't know about the vanilla android one but I know the HTC Email program will let you move between folders.

[Q] Search in exchange mails

Can it really be or am I an idiot? I have updated my xoom to 3.2 and configured my exchange account. However I cannot search in my exchange mails. The little search button at the upper right corner in my gmail is not there when I open my exchange.
Does anyone know if this can be enabled or do I need to get another exchange client?

[Q] Change mailto: link behavior

I've been trying and trying to find a way to change a way to change the way my MT4Gs handles mailto: links, but can't find the answer. I'd prefer to have these links open in my Yahoo account (I know...) instead of gmail. Even if I'm in my Yahoo mail and click on one of these links, it creates the new mail from my gmail account instead of the Yahoo account. The Yahoo account is set as the default mail account.
The links I'm referring look like this- mailto:[email protected]
Clear gmails defaults in applications

Thanks, that did the trick.
It took me a moment to decipher your directions. In case someone else stumbles upon this post looking for a solution to this problem, the steps are:
Settings > Applications > App Associations > Email address. Change it from gmail to mail.
no prob
