[Q] Advanced Gmail client?

Im looking for an advanced version of the gmail client. Paid or free, it doesnt matter.
I need the basic functionality currently on offer (just for gmail addresses really), but with more options. Landscape view like in touchwiz would be nice, as well as better attachment options, etc..
Pretty vague but you know what i mean

Why not just use the stock Samsung email client?
Regards,
Dave

that k-9 mail is meant to be good

maildroid looks promising to , one free and one expensive version..

Try Moxier... thumbs up from me. Only cost 20 bucks

The stock client still doesn't deliver notifications properly on my jk5 rom.

stock client is pop, not push mail

Try the mail'd app off the norton ink. It does everything u want for free! Link is on here somewhere lol

Nonsense! I get push email from my GApps account using the stock client.
Hint: Use Exchange ActiveSync, which Gmail supports.

hi,
in stock email app, i will to add a account for my *****@gmail.com
later, in account options, is possible to specify the "scan new messages timeout" that
implies the email protocol is pop. imap don't poll for new messages.

First of all you are wrong in that IMAP doesn't poll - it can use poll at intervals if you wish. IMAP IDLE is a pseudo push, and that is what you are thinking of, but it is still a form of polling in essence.
However, all of this is immaterial!
In the stock email client, when you set up a new account you enter your email address and password. At this stage, you could click next and it would set up your Gmail account as IMAP. However, if you click Manual Setup, you get 3 options:
POP
IMAP
Exchange
Select Exchange account and then enter the follow:
Domain\Username : [email protected] (or [email protected] if you are using GApps for Domains)
Exchange Server : m.google.com (for both regular GMail and GApps for Domains email)
Press Next, and then you get the option to change the "Email Check Frequency", which by default should be "Automatic (Push)".
Job done! True push on stock email client.

Wow, just wow. I didn't know about that exchange stuff. That's insane! Thanks!

hi,
i have configured my gmail account in order to send emails using another identities.
in gmail is possible to select the identity of the sender, but not in stock email app.
it's correct or i'm wrong

Thanks for the info, I just set this up on my tab and I can use the account to send mail but it seems like it's not receiving; also when I click the sync button it says unable to connect to server. very strange.

Thanks. It work perfectly in my tab.

AWSOME!
just tested this on my tab i like the mail app a little bit better then the gmail IMO

so it seems I'm the only one getting this connection error when I attempt to setup gmail exchange on the samsumg email app =(

Has anyone tried this with more than one exchange server? When I try to add an exchange server, the exchange button is grayed out. I'm guessing it's because I already have a different exchange e-mail setup?
Edit: Interesting - I deleted my other exchange account and I'm getting the same "Unable to connect" to server error message everyone else is getting. I even changed the domain to Google (using some old knowledge I used to do something similar to this to sync my contacts with Google on my old Windows phone devices: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138636).
Any ideas?

I had set up several gmail exchange accounts, and they all worked. However i think that app is memory hog, it's slow, with buggy notifications and in the end i switched back to the standard gmail one. Did you notice that there isn't really any alternative email client on the market?

[Q] Email app?

What's a good e-mail app for multiple accounts?
I have 2 msn accounts - one personal and one for school
I really can't find anything in the app store. For some reason, K-9 isn't letting me create a 2nd e-mail account. Maybe I'm doing it wrong

I agree, I've tried them all, maildroid, enhanced email, improved email, seven and K-9 is the best. I've got 5 imap email accounts all set up to push. Never miss an email, even when traveling internationally.

Yeah but with K9 how do I set up msn? Because it won't recognize it?

Ya I'd have to say k-9 is good. I've never used maildroid. Is it good.?

Android Email Client?

Ever since I switched from my Tilt2 w/at&t to my Epic 4G w/sprint, I've been obviously using my gmail account more often. Thing is, the built in email client, even for gmail & even when I try it with pop3, just plain sucks. Also, I mainly use my hotmail account, which there isn't really an app for yet. So I have two things. 1. To find a much better email client for android. And 2. To find a way to get all my hotmail to my android. Now, I can fully access and export my entire hotmail account from inside outlook. But I haven't found a way to import pst's into android yet.

I lot of people say K9 mail is the best. I would say its the best of the non-Gmail apps out there. I can't use any other mail besides gmail because I'm so used to the threaded conversations. BUT, Gmail could be better for sure.

Use Seven email client (latest version 7.5.4)with homescreen widget support
It supports Gmail/yahoo/Hotmail/AOl n more
It is push mail client.

I see that you've gotten some good suggestions. I just wanted to tell you to avoid POP3 at all costs. It's a very primitive protocol and should really only be used as a last resort. Use at least IMAP.

Hotmail can be setup for push just like Exchange.
In the email app, tap Add Account, then put in your email address and password and then tap "Manual Setup"
Tap "Exchange Account"
Set the Incoming Mail Server: m.hotmail.com
Leave Domain blank
Set your username to your full @hotmail email address (i.e. include @hotmail.com or @live.com)
Enter your password.
Tap finish.

I recommend to use K9 mail. I use it with my 6 email adresses - 1 gmail, 1 imap and 4 pop3. As far I know hotmail does support pop3, so with K9 you should be able to check all your emails, including hotmail..

K9 is a very nice email client. I've used it for about a year now with imap.

Using K9 with 4 mails accounts, 3 IMAP and one POP3.
Works flawless so far.

K9 mail client is useless as it doesnt accept Exchange, this is ridiculous

[Q] what replacement email app is used by many ?

ehm gmail app is only for gmail I guess I wonder what more general-use email app many ppl use (and like). It needs to connect to my own email server (POP3) etc.

Kaiten Mail.
Besides the native e-mail clients pre-installed on my phones/tablets and K9 this is the only mail app I ever used.
IMO the best.
Every other app I tried had a few flaws I didn´t like.

Kaiten is my choice.

Enhanced email : it's support pop3, imap and exchange
Only con's : interface is not still adapted for ICS (no dual pane like gmail)

Kaiten is in fact the best, has all the good features, but there's no free version.
K9-mail isn't tablet adapted, made for vertical view, doesn't have dual panel view (most efective on tablets).
Other option is MailDroid, it's free, has all the goodies including dual panel viewing.

Thanks for all the suggestions. More are always welcome ofcourse.

Check the options and help in the gmail web interface. I have it fetching mail from 2 accounts and sending using their SMTPs. Not synced with the accounts though, so mail not removed there, nor sent mail stored except in gmail.

You may want to look into Moxier for Tablets and there is one other that has a tablet-specific version of all apps (Email, tasks, calendar, etc)... They are not free, but have free demos available (2 week fully functional demos) - I always end up back with the stock apps for one reason or another though... But, if you need to sync tasks, etc with Outlook, they are a nice option since there is no tasks app in Android by default....

Help choosing an email client like *ahem* iPhone

Hi guys. Recently made the big move to android (nexus 5) from an iPhone, and really like it. One thing that I don't really like are the email apps, including the built in one. I have 3 email accounts that I use. A hotmail, a gmail and a business gmail account linked to my work email. On my iPhone, all the accounts web folders (sent, junk etc) automatically appeared. Now on android using the built in default app, all those folders seem to be for emails I have dealt with on my phone, not all emails. To get those I have to click on the folder "Google mail" and then the folders are there. It just seems to be a bit long winded to achieve something that I was able to do on an iPhone no probs. It could be the fact that I haven't set up the email folders correctly for each account. Is this something I can do?
I have also tried other email clients, but again they don't seem to be as user friendly as the iPhone email client.
Hope this makes sense
Thanks. Nick

Have you try to add your account via the exchange system? It works pretty well for me and it syncs email, contacts and callendar.
If you just want email maybe you should try cloud magic.

Maildroid is a good choice. If you really are interested in a good mail App without any add and bugs you can go for maildroid pro version. The best thing you will found in maildroid and maildroid pro are best support from developer through mail... Just give it a try with free version and if you really are interested go for pro ...
