Which is? The one on the phone? What's that? (I have couple of "standard clients" on my android phone.)
Can you forward the message to an email account that you can access on a PC?

Is there an email accnt that can't be accessed through pc? If you are using the stock mail client. Once you open it. There will be a save option beside it after.

yes the stock email clint.
the photo i want is in the email as background not as an attachment like you mentioned. so there is no save option.
i tried using the outlook app but it seems complicated.

You seem to have missed the point of the Android environment. I have various options on my devices. One of them is Mailwasher. I can even use my browser.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Try these:
K-9 Mail – Android Apps on Google Play
myMail—Free Email Application – Android Apps on Google Play
All Email Providers – Android Apps on Google Play
I could go on – there's a heap of them, a dozen or more – but don't want to rub salt into the wounds.

That makes life more complicated.
But email is email. It isn't locked to the device you use. (Ignore Simona Simmy. They clearly don't have a clue. What does the play store have anything to do with your email?)
Can you forward the message to a PC account that might have a bit more capability?
Or is that what you meant by the Outlook app?
I can get at all of my email accounts on my Android devices and on my PC. So, if I get an email through gmail, I can also access it from my PC, first with my browser, then with any other email client I like.

can a Chrome browser plugin steal my Google password?

i am looking for a way to schedule sending emails with my Gmail account. i came across Boomerang for Gmail which does exactly what i need it to. it installs as a plugin for Chrome browser and once installed, when i compose a new email in Gmail account, right next to the "send" button, there is now a new Boomerang send button.
what i need to know is if plugins like these can steal passwords. i know i should have thought about that before i installed it but it didn't occurred to me until after the fact. thanks for letting me know!
if permissions include access to cookies it can

They can easily steal your password if they're active when you type it in, but not after that.

As far as I am aware, unless they have some sort of keylogger, they cannot get your password, per-se.
However, (As also mentioned above), if they have access to cookies, they can login in your name. Additionally, some sites have the ability to hook in with google, and get "access" to your account if you approve it.

I could quite easily write a Chrome extension that popped up a window with your username and password in it, but it would have to capture them at a login screen, and not with a keylogger.
An extension has access to every control on every page that it is running.
Chrome would tell you, when you installed the extension, that it could access your google username and password though, so it could never do anything without you first allowing it to. Saying that though, there's a lot of people that just click 'Okay' without knowing what they're clicking!

[Warning] the "official" Windows messenger app is leaking your email and password

[Warning] the "official" Windows messenger app is leaking your email and password
Hello all!
I have seen that between 10 and 50 millions people are using the Windows Messenger app by Miyowa on Android.
Just to let you know, this app is leaking your email adress and username in clear text in logcat.
I created in 3 minutes a demo application that "steal" these credentials (and they are not stored in the app, that's just a demo, but if a was a bad guy, I could send that to my own server ;-)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.WazaBe.WindowsCredentials
One the app installed, just play a little bit with Messenger and open my app, it will display these credentials.
So the only advice I could give: uninstall immediatly Windows Live messenger!

Uninstalled, thank you for sharing!
That's a serious leak, have you contacted the developer also? Hopefully they fix that soon.
Yes, they seem to have taken my warning seriously.
App has been updated and promised a fix (v2,0,88)
I have currently no time to test it but I guess they did it!

Mail and SMS app

Last time I used Android there was a SMS and Mail app, I recently got a Nexus 5 (Lollipop) and I have hangout and gmail, is there anyway I can remove hangout and gmail and use the sms and email app? By the way my device is already rooted (couldn't wait )
I personally love Hangouts, but there's also the "Messenger" app which is the new SMS. As far as email goes, the old Email app has been integrated into Gmail. Settings / Add Account.

Sorry about this can you please move it to Q/A.
No problem I have contacted a Moderator. Should get moved soon. You might want to read the XDA rules before making any more threads in the future. Thanks for understanding

But to answer your question. You can use root uninstaller or Titanium Backup to uninstall system apps. Then grab what ever apps you want from the play store. All google apps were moved to the play store including messaging and email apps

I got the messenger app and it's perfect, is there a replacement app for gmail so I can add my emails, it's very frustrating to have to use Gmail, specuially when you need switch between emails quickly.

Use the messenger and email app from AOSP GAPPS.

It only takes 2 clicks to switch between added email accounts in Gmail. IMHO that's about as quick and simple as it could get (and if memory serves, the same number of clicks required in the old Email app).
There are email apps that will combine your inboxes if that is what you are looking for. I use mail droid. But just have a look on the Play store.

Samsung Email App - not getting VIP notifications?

Thanks for the help in advance.
Trying to get alerts only when VIPs email
Under "Notifications", I have "VIPs" set to Yes, and then my <email> set to No
However, I see no new notifications.
(When I set <email> to Yes, I do get notifications, but then I get notified on everything)
Is there a setting I missed? Thanks!
version 4.0.43-1
I got the same problem. Samsung S7 Edge VIP notification doesn't work. I tried the same procedure as yours.

Try a newer version or use a different email app?
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun.../samsung-email-4-0-63-0-android-apk-download/
Microsoft's Outlook seems about the best available
Did it work for you?
Tried the newest version on the 3rd website, Version: 4.0.63-0.
It still won't work.

I did some research on Microsoft's outlook. It didn't provide such a functionality. This should be built in by manufacture. Blackberry can do this nicely 10 years ago, which is still the only reason I am keeping using blackberry.

With Outlook I only get notifications from family and friends, never from spam or junk mail, subscriptions or other stuff

SMS Backup+ alternative?

Is there any alternative to old SMS Backup+ app? I want SMS messages uploaded to Gmail and watch them like conversation. SMS Backup & Restore is great but not that great because messages are in .xml file and I can't see contacts separetly.
Maybe you can try Coolmuster Android Backup Manager, if your phone is Android based. This tool can help us back up text messages and other data from Android phone to the computer easily. Then you can check it easily. And more, it's free to do that. Just have a try.
actually I tried on another way.I have web hosting and now I upload SMS messages to the server.
But I have email address from web hosting paired with gmail my messages are not mowed on gmail.
But at least now I can upload messages online.

how and what do you use to upload to your server?
I already have my own blog website. So I created another email address which is used only for SMS backup. And then put IMAP settings from this email to SMS Backup+

okay thanks
I read up on accessing it this way using an app password
how safe is this though do you know?
seems like if the sms+ app was compromised, they would have a password to get into my gmail account which bypasses 2factor
I don't know how safe it is. But if they want to get into your gmail account that would do even when it was only one click away from connecting.
But now they can access only to your another email address.

I was thinking of my main gmail
I'll just make a gmail account for SMS texts only, thanks!!
Oh, you thinking of mail gmail account. Maybe you can try other email providers, like yahoo.
On your gmail you can only transfer emails. But because it was in different folder gmail did not automatically transfer. You need to do it manually. It's annoying, yes.
But more safely because you can select what you want to transfer.
