Hi Xda,
I have my pop emails configured on my phone on Gmail's latest app which allows users to create there on pop/imap emails within gmail app. So here is the situation. I have a pop email account personal one not gmail. There are quiet a few sent items in it. I want to take a backup of those sent items. Is it possible? If yes, What is the best way to do it?
My phone is not rooted but i can do. Its running on latest version of Cyanogen (Stable).
Thanks

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.
Hi,
I have a strange setup for my email. My main address is using exchange, all my email from various email accounts get forwarded to the exchange account, then the filters shove everything into the appropriate folders.
I am using Touchdown Exchange for my email.
One of the email accounts I use requires me to reply from a work address (which I can access via Pop3 or Imap). So at this point I use Touchdown for my exchange & if a message from work comes in, I go to the stock (I use CM7) email app & grab the message from Imap & reply from there.
Is there a better than stock email app? I know of enhanced mail (which I tried) & I have heard of K9 but not used it.
I am looking for something that when I flash a new rom, I dont need to re-enter my server information each time.
The stock app & enhanced mail both require me to set everything up from stock. Ti backup doesnt seem to be able to save the data in a restore'able fashion.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rich
I need to find a way to save Emails on an Android phone, no Email client will do that so far as I can find?
My ISP is POP3 ONLY and I'm unwilling to change my email address so don't say use IMAP or Gmail.
I have no problem saving messages on my BB or on a WinMo phone, why can't Android's email client do that? BB has a 'save' option on the email menu which moves the mail to a Saved folder, WinMo allows me to create a Saved folder and move email to it which remains after it's deleted on the server, exactly the same as any email client on a PC so why does Android not allow anything similar?
NOTE: I've set my PC's email client to delete message from the server when they're downloaded, that's not going to change, there has to be a way for the Android device to do that or must I go back to WinMo or BlackBerry because of this one ridiculous failure of the Android OS?
Not sure i'm seeing the problem here. If you want to save your emails just don't delete them?
Same for me. I'd love to be able to make email folders so I can organize the accumulated emails. Having all emails in the inbox just doesn't work and is a pain in the ass.

I believe you're correct, I'm currently back on my BlackBerry as one solution to the problem.
you could try opening a gmail account, sync with your pop3 account and dont tell anyone your new e-mail address
What Robbie said. You can have emails forwarded to your GMail?
Check out K-9 mail. The native email client that comes with android blows- it's bare bones and it's meant to be that way. The phone and the OS is designed to use gmail as your main email. Although a gmail account is my main email, i also have to use some other email account and the native android email app does't cut it for me. K-9 has an archive feature which will create a local folder and save a copy of that email. I am using IMAP and haven't setup anything with pop3, but give it a try and see if this app works for you.

I have set up k9 and tried the archive but it just took the message of the server, how did you copy it instead?
I've found that I'm unable to send email to the groups I've created in Gmail (thru my browser on my PC) when I'm using the Gmail app on my TF101.
I've seen where all my gmail contacts and groups are sync'd to the People app (I'm working with ICS), and I can send email to individual contacts and even initiate skype calls, but I cannot send email to a group. I can see where you can create a group, but not send to it.
Can it really be that it lacks this simple, integral functionality or am I missing something very basic here? Its even stranger when you consider that everything here is developed by Google. Is it a developer oversight or a purposeful move to cripple some functionality of the mobile app?
I hope the latter is not the case, and also hope someone can help out with this
Thanks
I've got the same problem (actually we all do..) It's not currently possible to send group emails in Gmail on android, using the stock contacts apps - seen someone suggest trying go contacts as this may work, but you'd have to initiate the email from within GoContacts as the other apps (Gmail) won't work.
So since I updated to the leaked ICS, I setup the default email client to my yahoo business account. I must say I hate the change to it they have made. In honeycomb I was able to set it to delete emails from the server as I deleted them from my phone, also it would download all my old emails to my phone as well. Now I can't do either of those and it goes through that social hub crap thing. Anyone have a email app that will work like the old email app in honeycomb?
Thanks

Personally, I like the solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24243224&postcount=3
It creates a new default Email app with lovely exchange integration, and you can remove Social Center
I have not rooted the phone at all so I am pretty sure I can't use tibu.
use K9 mail. It allows you to specify how many emails to sync as well as server side actions.
Yep K9 mail does exactly what I am looking for.
