Email app - Android Apps and Games

What all would people recommend for email.
I have been using the stock app on my phone but it's a bit restricted I think.
I've tried K9 but it's so fecking convoluted and overly complicated.
All I want is an app that will allow me to access multiple accounts easily, and quite simple delete an email which will then be deleted from my mail provider server.
I've tried to set this up on K9 and it just won't work. Having turned on my laptop I've just found I have hundreds of mails still on my account which I thought I'd deleted! Having come from Apple I'm now a fully fledged android convert but the one thing that Apple does better is mail management!
LG-G2 / Android 4.2.2

I've been using Blue Mail. It has a nice simple interface and provides some options without being overloaded like some apps.

Cloud Magic is good.

I use Nine and I really like it.

Make sure you have your email app set up as IMAP (& IMAP authorised on your email account) that way your email will sync. It sounds like it's currently set up as POP which just downloads copies of your email. POP doesn't mark as read or delete from your account. IMAP does.

Ok, so I delete one account from k9 and set it back up bit this time add imap and it's now working more like I want it too. However, the app is still showing costs that don't exist when I look at the account on my laptop. I deleted some folders from my account.?

The Android Apps and Games forum is for Developers to share and support their work. It isn't really the place to ask questions or discuss an App. There is an App discussion thread for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230428 Please repost your question and comment there.

E-mail App

Hi, guys
I'm looking for a good Mail App that is clean and simple.
GMail: GMail is quite good. But I don't like the fact, that I can't deactivate to group the E-Mails. If I have more E-mails, I want them seperatly and not grouped like in Gmail.
Stock Android E-mail: This is an app I'm looking for. Simple and clean interface. Only problem is, that I can't push Mail to other folders.
An app I like is k-9. But it takes a long time to configurate it. Does anybody know an app that is in between the stock e-mail app and K-9? Would be great if I could add more than one account and switch between. (like HTCMail)

I'm going to have to agree with those suggesting Enhanced Email...just switched from K9 recently and it's great so far. A big plus is that the dev is often in the chat/forums on EE's site helping figure out any problems and working on requested features.

Thanks everyone! The support for my app Enhanced Email has been incredible. I continue to give back to the community here on XDA and via Twitter just as a show of gratitude. Not sure how many people know I got my start here with my Email app which eventually made it on to the market.
Enhanced Email
Anyone knows wad is the settings for exchange hotmail & live accounts? How to set up?
Seven emaiil client is one of the best, auto setup for Hotmail, gmail, yahoo. and only real yahoo push mail client(third party), Home screen widget support too.
Now a days removed from market, you can find it from XDA too,
I can update here, but as new user i am not eligible to paste outside link

Why do people prefer gmail app over email app?

I was browsing the "post your homescreen " thread and came.across alot of people using the gmail app as apposed to the email app. I personally use the email one because of the ability to add my schools email account in it. Which one do you guys use and why?

I use both, the gmail one is pretty good.

Gmail is the only email account i use. Makes sense to use the App
I have both. But I rarely use gmail.
I use both too. I use gmail for well my gmail accounts and the reg email app for my none gmail accounts. I like both
Yeah I think I'm going to use both aswell. I have 2 gmail accounts and then my school email
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I use both because it is easy to keep my personal email from work email. Just an added barrier of sending an email from the wrong account.
I use K-9 for personal mail, Roadsync for work mail, Gmail for google account type stuff.
All email accounts auto-forward back to gmail to keep a copy of everything in archive.
I have all my mailaccounts aggregated on my own server and use K9 to access them. For me K9 is the best mail client on android, not only because it can sign and encryped my mails.

Nothing fancy, just a virtual root-server with an imap-server, a smtp-server, spam-detection and a script to fetch from all my freemail-accounts.

[App] Hotmail official

Finally for those who use Hotmail an official app with push mail and a widget not bad although the widget isn't very aesthetically pleasing.
Hotmail App
I'm gonna try this one out... there's always the stock app, which does it job good enough, imo... but this one might have something the stock one hasn't...
Thx!
Not a bad app, I expected worse.
nice one
thanks for sharing
Any chance someone could post the apk?
I've been using this for several months as the SEVEN Beta, it let you add any email account including corporate/exchange ones. Still using it and it works really well.
i recommend whatsup app..

Can you add non-Hotmail accounts as well?
Son of a... no Honeycomb love. I have the same problem with my bank's app and a bunch of others. I have spare parts. It will scale to full screen. Just let me download it, dangit! This is android, don't tell me it's not compatible.

Yea, it has Yahoo and Gmail and you can add Exchange accounts too as long as the account has webmail access. I think you can also add custom POP3/IMAP accounts. But for some reason the Beta is no longer available on their site. You can probably find it through a google search though it's called Seven Mail and IM Beta.
Thanks for sharing.

You know you can add hotmail as exchange email using default add account and choose exchange... all you need you hotmail email address and as user name use your email address and password your hotmail password and leave the domain empty and as for server type m.hotmail.com

Yeah same problem , it realy drains the battery.
I realy liked the app because of it html support in email, but it realy sucks because of the battery drain!
Anyone knowing a good alternative with html support and a clean interface?
I'm happy with the battery life using the app. As a matter of fact I switched to using the Hotmail app from using an exchange based email. Under Exchange, push was constantly sending POP3 requests and I was getting errors saying that I was exceeding the maximum number of POP3 requests. Battery life was terrible.
Under Hotmail/SEVEN app, battery life is great and no POP3 errors.
HOWEVER, my problems include
1. I cant add or update my contacts since it only displays the names of the contacts and no other information... like email, phone etc.
2. Some emails won't show the message body. Still trying to determine why certain bodies won't show but the majority will.
Hopefully they can fix both BUGS. Other than that, it's a decent app.
thanks for sharing, really good

ISP Email or Gmail/Hotmail etc?

I'm just curious what everyone uses most for day to day? Your email accounts that come included with your home internet or online services like Gmail and Hotmail?
I have 2 email accounts on my ISP that I use for most stuff. My Gmail account tied to my phone I only use for Google Play and nothing else. The reason I prefer using my ISP email is because it's less popular and less prone to datamining by big online entities like Google or MS and they're just as disposable. I guess I feel a little better deep inside letting Rogers spy on my activities than an international giant online entity.
For example, I'll use my ISP email accounts to sign up for PayPal, dropbox, eBay etc rather than Gmail.
Just curious what others prefer
Neither. I bought my own domain and use e-mail on that for everything personal - gives me as many different addresses as I want for self, webmaster etc.
Of course, there are many times when I also create a spam-drop address for web-site sign-ups.
Gmail. I have my own domains as well, and use them on Google Apps.
It's convenient. I've been using my gmail since near the start of gmail and there's no reason to really change it.

How does the search function work on that? I think Gmail has surpased hotmail as it is really easy to use and groups emails together. I never thought I would switch to gmail but it seems superior at the moment.

Outlook.com is more in line with what Gmail has to offer. MS is finally rebranding and doing away with Hotmail. I like how you can create a throwaway email addy in an instant.
Recently setup an outlook.com address and thinking if migrating to that from gmail. A few articles I have read indicate that MS will be taking users privacy a little more seriously than google does.

Suggest an email app, or solve my problem?

A friend of mine is getting her first ever smartphone and I want to help her transition as smoothly as possible. She will not give up her Hotmail account, so I need to find an app that will give her access to her emails, and preferably gives push notifications and allows easy attaching of documents.
I've been suckling on the Google/GMail teat for years and was mildly surprised when I 'unfroze' the native email app - it seems pretty decent. But it only gives options for attaching of pictures or videos, unlike the GMail app which has a generic 'attach file' button. Obviously I know that I could find my document using a file browser or other app and then 'share' it to the Email app, but this sort of 'well you can't do it this way, you have to do it that way' crap is what I want to avoid for my friend. I want everything to be obvious, easy and for her introduction to Android to be effortless.
Any suggestions, please? A free email app, with push, and easy file attachments of all types.
EDIT: I have just signed up for a Hotmail account so I can test apps myself. The Outlook.com app seems alright - anyone got experience using it? Any fatal flaws?
Try using [email protected] Mail Pro app. I use it since it pretty much unifies all of my email accounts in a neat way with plenty of customizations available for your taste. I especially like the fact that unlike with the built in app, I can create a unified email widget for all my accounts instead of having multiple widgets and it allows me to attach any kind of file, and has a pretty advanced editor. Try the free version first and see if you'd like to upgrade to the pro.

I use Aqua Mail which works very well for me, can sync with POP and IMAP accounts. Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kman.AquaMail.
Thanks guys, but after testing it myself I think my friend will be happy enough with the Outlook.com app (although the interface certainly isn't to my taste, it is simple enough and does what she needs).
