Hey all!
Just got my Galaxy S6 yesterday and not sure if I am not just used to the changes in lollipop or if the changes are really that bad!
What happened to the organization of the old email app?
This may be the wrong thread and if so, please point me in the right direction.
I get a lot of spam at work, and sometimes it is easier to click on the date ticker, which selects all of the emails for that day and I can mark them as read or delete them.
Now it is just one huge stream of emails with no way to pick multiple emails at once to delete or mark as read.
Am I just missing something?
Is there anyway to select multiple emails or do I really have to go through each email individually?
And , if this functionality is not available, can anyone recommend a good email app where I can select multiple emails at once, particularly by date? Otherwise the app is pretty much useless to me.
I have an out of the box Sprint Samsung Galaxy s6 that is unrooted.
Thanks all

Been using the Gmail app for my Google and external accounts. No issues whatsoever. Stopped using the Galaxy email app built in since the S5 version started acting funky with read mails randomly becoming unread.

Gmail app looks too clunky and doesn't allow me to pick multiple emails with one click..
I use Kaiten.
I tried gmail briefly after I got my S6 but it's awful by comparison. I don't know how people use such a limited app for email.

It definitely does. You press and hold one mail and the colours kind of go grayish. Then go tapping on multiple mails to select them. From here you can perform various actions like mark as read, delete etc.

That is not the what I am looking for. With the KitKat stock email, you can pick the date...say Weds April 22. You click the box next to that date and every email on that date is selected. You are suggesting that I click each indvidual email which is exaclty what I don't want to do.
Any other suggestions?
Kaiten does not have that either.
That's an interesting filter/option. Not something I've needed before.
Have you tried some of the top rated email apps in play store?

Yes...they all are the pretty much the same and don't do the things that the email app did before.

Mike, I use the email exactly as you do. I'd click on a day and the app would check all of the emails . I'd then uncheck the ones I wanted to keep our read and then hit delete. This was magic. I'm lookin at all email apps. Have you found anything yet?

You can activate the select/multi-select option by holding your fingertip on the date bar. The selection boxes will slide in on the left side of the screen.

Hi. All. I need also for the stock Samsung Galaxy S6 the button to select/mark All mail at one time.
In HTC Sense i didn't get this problem.
I was wondering if anyone found a solution yet. I am in same situation...nice new phone but painful to go through emails. I used to select all from he date...same as OP ..then just uncheck the five or so I wanted to keep. Now I have to check 80 boxes. Any new info would be appreciated.
Use the official outlook app or cloudmagic. Problems solved.

Been using K9 email for a long time...never have a problem
might help
I know this is not what you were looking for but it might help someone looking for this...
to delete all emails you can long press on one email, until it is highlighted grey (or tick the box (to enable this box you can press the 3 dots and go to settings of that email and it is in there to enable tick box))
once you have one email highlighted, the top bar will turn orange and show the number of emails selected and the trash can etc...
if you tap on the number of emails selected (one at this point) there will be a drop down to say 'select all'...
I know it is not what OP wanted but I ended up here looking for this info so maybe someone else will too...

Hey guys,
I am trying this app as Samsung is apparently never going to update the Captivate to 2.2. and therefor we will never get the newer Gmail app that has font size adjustment, and other new features. Sorry but my eyes are a bit sick of looking at tiny text in the 2.1 Gmail app. So I installed K-9.
K-9 is pretty nice! Very customizable but I have a few questions:
1. There are so many settings in this app. Does anybody know of a good help site for this app? I just want to make sure that it pushes new emails to the device like the Gmail app does. What do I need to do to make sure this happens? It is showing 3 separate Sent folders. Not sure why I have that many.
2. Lots of images in emails are showing up as little blue question marks. (similar to flash sites on Safari on iPhone). What is happening here? These images show up fine on the iPhone Email app.
Thanks guys!
So it is pushing messages to K-9, but when I delete a message from K-9 inbox, the gmail inbox (webmail or Gmail app) does not reflect these changes.
Can anybody explain this behaviour?
Thanks!
I've also noticed that but it doesn't really bother me too much considering how much space Gmail gives me. So I don't really bother to delete anything anyway.
I just like my inboxes to match. Maybe there is some setting I am missing. I really want to keep using K-9 as it is really a pleasure to read email with.
not sure if i am right but pretty sure 2.2 is coming out mid-late Nov (next month)....

Unfortunately the Samsung press release is from Samsung UK, and is a little vague about 2.2 for carriers outside the UK getting 2.2.
I am not holding my breath.

Upon some more playing around, I have determined this is really a nice email app and I am shocked it is free. Hopefully it is secure. Amazing how customizable it is.
Do you use it instead of Gmail or Email on your device?

I use it for my non-Gmail email accounts. Really like it. I set it to auto download emails only when Active sync is on my phone which gives me an easy way to control this function without going into settings. I don't like my email to get downloaded while I am sitting at my computer at work, but all other times. Use Tasker then to turn this setting on and off at appropriate times of day and week. Never could get this to work exactly like this in WM. I love Android!!!

Yes, I do. I use it for a work account and a second personal account but keep gmail on it's own app. There are some options that make it very nice for multiple accounts and easy access. Color coding individual accounts, alternating sync times and setting "time of day" sync schedules are just some of them.
I have tried a few email apps now and K-9 slaps them all. I am having trouble finding issues or a lack of options in this free app. Almost doesn't make since. It's worth contributing to for sure.
I hope this isn't a really silly question.. does anyone know how to empty the recycle bin in the GMail app on the transformer?? I have the dustbin icon available on other folders but can't find one here (or an empty option).

Because when you "Delete" emails from the Gmail app they aren't deleted, they are archived. At least that's my guess.
If you mean the 'trash' label, it does not appear there is a function to delete all. Across the board in the app, there's no 'check all' option to delete multiple messages under a label.
I would guess if you want to empty it, you'd have to do it from a PC, or at least in the desktop version of the website.
Thanks all.. yeah looks like it's not an option on the Gmail App then.

I dont know. I find the gmail for tablet a little disturbing. There certainly stuff lacking. The amount of emails downloade is only few. And when you scroll down, there's a "download more" button. That's pretty damn annoying. When you're offline you can't go back very far.
On my EVO4G, there's a setting to download weeks worth, months worth, whatever you specify. There's none of that settings on the asus mail or the gmail for tablet. But at least you can set exchange limits.
Also you can't select a range of emails. But you can select multiple and move it to another folder by putting check marks by the ones you select then hold down a couple of seconds...then drag it to trash can...the trash can will empty itself when you exit the email.
I use the stock email app for my gmail instead of the actual gmail app. Seems to work better and have more options.

The setting is under Settings > Your Gmail Account > Labels to Sync.
Lets you set the number of days, and then you can either set each label to 'Sync all' or the amount of days you set in the top setting option.
Works fine for me. I don't have but maybe 10 emails in my inbox, and they stay synced just fine.
If you've already set the above to 'Sync all', then likely it's the data-phobic behavior built into the app. Notice there's no setting to automatically display images? Likely because they don't want the application to suck down a ton of data while you're on 3G or 4G (which costs you money).
IIRC, I think Honeycomb 3.1 has some advanced settings to differentiate between being on WiFi (where you probably don't care about data limits) and 3G/4G.

I'm not getting that setting for gmail. My exchange account has amount of days to sync, but the gmail does not. How are you setting up the gmail with number of days to sync? I don't have "labels to sync" nor do I have "sync all" in my settings. Are we talking about the transformer here?
EDIT: OK nevermind...you are talking about the GMAIL app, not the email app set up with gmail account. Yeah, I guess there's more options in the original gmail app than the one from asus.
I bought my (T-Mobile) G2x a couple days ago, switching from my HD7. I'm generally happy (and my mom is happy to be using my old phone), though I had some problems with getting 4G to work, but it's resolved now.
I'm completely new to Android and of course the G2x. I want to know what apps are a must have, any suggested mods regarding battery life or whatever, and anything else that would make my current experience an even better one!
Thanks!

Okay. Try this, it should work:
1. From the home screen of your phone press Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add account > Corporate
2. Enter your username and password. You username should be your full school email address. For instance: [email protected] ... Yours will be different depending on your school.
3. Press Next and then you should be taken to the screen as shown in the screen shot below. Fill it out like I have it in the screenshot, only replace the email address with your actual address (leave the backslash at the beginning of the email address). **EDIT** - Couldn't get screenshot to show so I just inserted a link to the screenshot.
4. Press Next and then confirm any prompts that pop up. It may ask you to allow the server to make some security changes to your phone.
5. Once you complete the setup, go the Mail app on your phone and it will ask you about enabling the security changes again. It also details what those changes are. (I think here is also where it prompts you to set up how often your email syncs.)
That should be it and your school mail should now sync to your phone. If that doesn't work then let me know.

Okay, I'm gettting really really pissed off at this issue and I need to know if this is just my tab or a honeycomb issue!! So using the stock email app (not the Gmail app) i send an email and i find that it appears as unread under sent. I figure that's fine so i click the checkbox and mark as unread--resync my email and i find that it still says unread!! Even if i give it a day or two, the "Unread Sent Mail" just stacks up...so frustrating. Am I the only one here? I can do a factory reset if that's the only option but i'm always busy and don't feel like rerooting and reconfiguring my tab to the way i want....any help? Btw, anybody else experience their alarm icon disappearing randomly during the day? Thanks for any comments or words of motivation haha

Are you talking about the 4.5 Version? It seems a little "kid-ish" to me. Especially when I am not receiving emails from other gmail users. All I see are random colored blocks with the first letter of everyone's name before the email.
I am not sure if there are more tweaks/features.. but so far I'm not impressed.

Yea the blocks for the highlighted letter of the email is kind of stupid. I do however like the option to finally empty the trash

Don't like the blocks.
Don't like when you change archive and delete options to show archive and delete it changes the swipe setting to archive) I was using it for delete.
+1 on being able to empty trash.
im not impressed with it either. its harder to delete email for one, and still no option to delete individual emails instead of the whole "conversation". At least online, there is a setting to turn conversation view on or off. That needs to be in the app as well. and i agree that the colored blocks need to change. the contact pics are ok, but colors aren't. you can shut that off though in the settings....
You can remove the blocks and pics of other users if you wish. There is an option under settings. Since I removed the blocks..... I love it!
