So, after installing the CM12S update yesterday, I noticed that the email app built is now "powered by boxer"
When I tried setting my hotmail adress it redirected me to a hotmail page with permissions requested by the app (as opposed to just working as usual). I skimmed through the privacy policy (source) and found the following tidbits:
"When you log into your email account in Boxer, you are granting Boxer permission to securely access your information contained in or associated with those accounts. You are also providing your email address by logging into the application.
Where possible, Boxer uses OAuth, which is an open standard authorization protocol that allows third parties to access user data without the need to know a user’s password. This helps to keep your information as secure as possible. We never know or store your password on our servers."
I am not sure if this is an overreaction on my part, but the bit about "allows third parties to access user data without the need to know a user’s password" didn't sound like something I'd want.
So I went ahead and grabbed the email.apk and exchange2.apk (I needed the exchange component too) from my previous backup of the CM nightly 20150411, then reverted to CM12s and installed those apks (worked flawlessly, thanks to Nyan_ from the oneplus forums for the suggestion).
Am I overreacting? Also, if anyone is interested, I can try providing the apks.
it is how many apps sneakingly gain acces. Not much is know about thirdparty apps and their security. But if you want to be safe, just use official apps and be weary about allowing acces and such.
I dont think Cyanogenmod would supply rogue and bad apps though, so you can probably trust it. So its probably fine

Boxer is talking in the first person perspective from the Email provider's standpoint. So OAUTH allows a client application to access user data. That's just telling you a definition of what OAUTH is. It doesn't mean Boxer itself is allowing 3rd parties to access your data.
---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------
FYI, Boxer is based on the AOSP 4.4 source code with newer patches from 5.0/5.1 incorporated so things like OAUTH were back ported from 5.0. That code is for the most part as it was in AOSP with minor changes to support Hotmail OAUTH which stock Email didn't support. Your oauth token isn't being shared with 3rd parties and only Boxer's application id can even access the data along with that OAUTH token. Your emails and contacts and calendar data and everything else on your device is safe.

I just tested sending an email to my hotmail, and I got it right away.
You installed both the exchange2 apk and the email apk?. I created the account straight in the settings of the email app, and chose corporate at it's type. Push notification was then the default choice. Prior to installing the exchange apk, I did not see the option for push notification.

What are your hotmail.com exchange settings? Maybe I can use that. When I added the account, I didn't get the option to choose exchange. The next step was to choose "PUSH" and which categorizes to sync.
If I choose "MANUAL SETUP", I then get the option to choose Exchange but I don't know the Exchange settings.

To sync with my company's ActiveSync server, I HAVE to check both "Use Secure Connection" and "Accept All SSL Certificates."
However, the latter choice is not appearing in my MAIL setup screen, ONLY the Use Secure Connection checkbox. As such I'm not given access to my work's mail server. I've seen it on almost every Android device... why would it be missing on TBolt?

No VZW had nothing to do with the mail app...
I am a bit confused by this. My exchange server shouldn't work with Android AT ALL... however due to HTC's ... how shall we say... engineering it works perfectly.
Wonder why you have to select all certificates...
How do we get HTML emails to show up on the stock app? All it gives me are text links.

Mine show up as HTML... not sure what is wrong on yours. Both GMail and Exchange are showing up fine.
I guess I just haven't found what I need to change in the setting yet then. I can be slow and special at times.
Ok, after more investigation, I have have realized that my exchange email is on plain text only, but... the option to change it is grayed out and unclickable. What am I doing wrong? I can't change the option from plain text, and I really don't like it.
It is crippled or at least modified
I'm pretty sure MAIL is crippled or at least modified. If you use MAIL to setup IMAP accounts, it will not let you specify an IMAP path prefix, which is a royal pain for me, since I can't view my sent emails without that IMAP path. That was one of the main reasons I jumped from WinMo to Android! Looks like I'll be rooting sooner than I thought (I've loved the Tbolt as-is until now)
On yours, does it have the option where it is suppose to allow you to check between html and plain text, grayed out? My personal email is fine, it's just the exchange email that is giving me fits. I can change the normal account. Oh, and html worked fine on my D2 with exchange.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Set up fine here, both before and after root with the stock mail app that came with the phone. I do have the choice of HTML or Plain Text and neither is grayed out. I have only one choice for security and it says "This server requires an encrypted SSL connection" which is checked. My admin also pushes a security policy requiring a PIN or password after a 15 minute time out.
To get rid of the exchange security, and get both SSL check boxes, I installed this app.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007
It doesn't work with the HTC message widget, but at least it gets you corporate email.
Have you tried telling it proceed? I had the same qualm, and I hit next and it prompted me to accept the certificate even though it was invalid.
Yeah, I have set up the account, and it works fine other than the fact that I can't get HTML emails in anything other than plain text. I go emailapp>menu>more>settings>send/receive>recieve settings and under receive settings the message format is grayed out and unselectable. I know it's not the server, because I had it setup fine on the D2. I have also tried deleting the account and starting over from the beginning, and it still does this. So I don't know what to do to fix it.
Any update on the HTML email issue? I'm rooted, so I can swap the native app with any other other Sense friendly app. It works well in Touchdown, but I prefer to use the native mail app -- it's much cleaner and well integrated. I just REALLY need to see HTML and graphics in my emails.
It used to be fine with my Droid X, so I know that it's not a server policy. It's just broken in the TBolt's native mail app.
thoughts?
I haven't really had the time to investigate further. I've just let it be for now. Semester will be over in two weeks, then I can look more into it.
Greetings folks,
I want to use to Native Email App which came with N5, KK (4.4.2). After the update to 4.4.2, I was able to configure my Official Email account using SSL certificates. But I am still not able to -
1. Search the emails
2. Auto Sync my sub folders. I have to enter them and swipe it down to sync it. No auto email notification like inbox.
I am using TouchDown the free version. It is expensive to buy a license, plus it is not well integrated with ROM.
I rooted and installed KangKat and then Carbon, thinking probably it may work in any of them. It did not.
What do you recommend. I have checked with other fellows in the team, they say the Native App sucks, and it does not have search capability, some of them shifted Galaxy-4. I could not find any touchwiz ROM, or for what matter any any HTC Rom. I am sure their email app are better than Native Exchange Email App by Google.
Please recommend I need to -
1. an Email Client which is able to do two authentication. I mean in which i shall be able to import my certificate before i connect to the exchange/mail server.
2. be able to search my email
3. Sync my Calendar
4. Sync my sub folder.
Another good to have feature, probably i will spend time later figure out how to change the ROM, so that when i install SSL certificates for phone, it does not by default enforce security and i have to put a lock-pin (such a time waster).
Thank you fellows.
Thanks

thanks again for the suggestion. I'm not at all sure what the difference is, in setting up an exchange activesync account from mailwise as opposed to say cloudmagic or the sony email app or k9, etc...
anyway it worked and I hope this thread comes in handy for any unlucky soul that faces this issue.
Just my story and suggestion:
We use the Mdaemon Server (v14) with active sync support. First synce with my Z3 went finde. But immediately after that everything got messed up.
So after a few times adding and removint the account I tried to use the original Android Exchange client - same story here. Started to work and the just stopped to sync.
As a finel solution and afer running trough tons of Google-searches I have found the holy grail for me - Nine.
The cool thing for me was that it has a 2 weeks test-period after which you need to activate it.
So I tested about 11 days without any error and decided to buy it. So far no regrets on my decision! What I totaly like is that it has a well working search and a chat-view mode for the messages.
Anyway -- just give it a try - 2 weeks free testing.
The key was 7,60€ or whatever - equals 9.99USD.

Email App - Address lines cutting off in replies
Hello dear,
There is a problem i noticed with the Z3 email client after setting up my office email on Exchange.
for example, i am getting an email from someone with multiple people in "CC" and "To".
If i do a "reply all" or "reply only to the sender", in my reply, all the other addresses other than the sender's name gets cut off from the email to which i am replying.. This is a very disappointing thing for me since it seriously deforms the email chain and make us lose track of who all where there in the earlier email. This is especially bad when using for corporate official emails.
Before switching to Sony, (due to Battery life), i was using Samsung Galaxy and Samsung email app never had this issue. Whether you reply or forward, the previous emails were intact with all addresses and details.
Any idea on how to solve this?
regards....
Just got this phone (from US store) and looking for manual setup in the email app. Running the newest firmware FRD-L04C567B385.
When I select other, it asks for account setup but there is NO option for manual.

Xfinity, Comcast Email, Honor 8 Configuration
How to get Xfinity, Comcast email working on Honor 8 with the newest July 2018 update for Imui.
Other, nor exchange configuration worked for me. However, there is a custom config setup for email for gmail and yahoo mail. I tried the Yahoo setup with my comcast mail and it did not work. But wow, using the Gmail configuration selection, erasing @gmail.com and putting in my comcast email with password did the trick! It immediately pulled up the configuration to manually put in the server, etc. It allowed me to configure my comcast email in about 30 seconds using the correct settings you can find on the internet for android like imap.comcast.net and 993, smtp.comcast.net, 587, I think. Anyhow, those are posted all over the internet but not the trick I mentioned above using the stock email app and using the gmail setup but erasing the gmail.com part and putting in your comcast email. Works like a charm. Hope this helps folks.

aquamail app on huawei app gallery
bluemail app on huawei app gallery (still has google push warning)
the only reliable & instant notifications are with yahoo mail app and microG installed.
... but now microG is causing problems with whatsapp and I cannot use whatsapp due to a google play services error
my conclusion .. is at this time .. there is no instant & reliable email notifications for gmail and outlook without using GMS (at least via microG).
I use Fairemail (also available via Fdroid) and am pretty happy with it (with and without Google services)

I installed Gms the first day I received the device using the Greek you tube video.
As already told, nearly all Google apps are working, including maps, fotos, YouTube and even Google pay.
Only issues remaining are some bank apps (not all), and notifications for all apps using Google cloud messaging.
I then installed Bluemail and received mail notifications from Gmail and other exchange accounts.
Using Autosync account activator app I know receive also notifications from Gmail app.
Regarding Netflix, its working but not available in Playstore, had to install it via Aurora store.

Interested in the part bolded above. My assumption is that the notification issues are the same irrespective of whether you install GPS or not? e.g.You install GPS to get the missing apps such as Photos, Google pay etc but you will still be left with no notifications for almost all apps.
It is the lack of notifications that are starting to really bother me, pretty much all I have workling are outlook, sms and whatsapp. Messenger lite too works on and off. I thought I would be ok with that but I really am not!

I do not have GSM services installed. And I’m not going to install Google services. All Microsoft applications work fine.

It is the lack of notifications that are starting to really bother me, pretty much all I have workling are outlook, sms and whatsapp. Messenger lite too works on and off. I thought I would be ok with that but I really am not!

yea .... notifications really suck .. otherwise I would have been very happy without GMS .. just going naked HMS.
i have installed microG and it is a short-term solution .. not perfect, but notifications are better.
use chrome to convert to english, but there is a comment that huawei are working on a fix .. twitter screenshot ... there was an update of HMS Core today .. doing some testing today ...

thanks .. any chance you have tested skype (full version) notifications with GMS?
some people are testing without GMS, or without microG .. so it is a bit confusing to compare results!
These are the steps from that thread. The thing is I think these are not really the steps as to get it really working properly you need to add the full playstore install instructions to step 4. At least I think that is the case? i.e. It will not work properly if you just go the fakestore route?
1. Reset mobile phone
2. Install Services Core
3: install Services Framework Proxy
4: either install the real AppStore with the Lila app or install the store (FakeStore release)
5: start and set MicroG. Now create all the accounts you need (no longer possible afterwards),
restart your phone and install your apps.
My concern going any of these routes is many of the files scan as a virus e.g. for the full GPS method the step files are fine but the backup ones at the start return multiple positives, likewise for the above the fakestore app also scans as a virus. I get these are modified files etc etc but given the purpose of doing all of this is to then enter credentials and use payment apps it does give me some pause for thought.

1. I have not heard of anyone suggesting microG as a Google Play Store solution for Huawei. I thought we were just talking about using microG for notifications and you only need the fakestore for that.
2. Reset mobile phone step is optional ... just install apps after install of microG in order to register into microG google cloud messaging.
3. microG has been around for a long time, used in many ROMS, and open source .... I do not think you need to worry entering your google credentials to use for microG for notifications.

Thanks, I guess just uninstall the apps that you want notifications for and then reinstall.
MicroG scanned clean, it was fakestore that scanned as a virus.

1. yes .. that's what I did and it worked fine. ... after testing and some success (but not perfect) .. then i did a reset and started from scratch (but after testing again after the reset, it did nothing different) .. still a few successes and a few fails.
2. oh ok.
Could be a false positive as just the one positive hit for AdWare.AndroidOS.ekdy whereas the full GPS approach backup (stuff in Huawei/Backup folder) files triggered multiple positives.

either way .. it doesn't worry me at all .. wouldn't surprise me if it is a positive hit .. it is obviously not a legitimate service .. but like i said before, microG has been around for years, installed hundreds of thousands of times in ROMs, open source, etc.
