[Q] email client

What email client is everyone using?

Stock email client

I'm using stock. Seems to be fine for my IMAP accounts.

I like the way the stock client feels, I can't find a search function which really bothers me. I just wish it had more features. The problem is that email programs like k-9 mail or enhanced mail are not optimized for the tablet screen so they look kinda of stupid. I guess I just have to wait for soemthing better?

I wish it had a "select all" feature; its a pain selecting emails one at a time to delete..

I like the stock email.. works fine with my exchange server and the features that it is supposedly lacking are features that I dont really use, so I dont notice. The widget is just awesome and I love that I can easily access recent emails from my homescreen. I find myself more and more using the tablet for email while I use my laptop for the heavier work. Its great being able to have the email open on my tablet so I can read detailed instructions or long lists while I work on a project. So all I'm looking for in an email client is: works with my exchange, displays my emails on my tablet (wow! I'm needy), and has some sort of search. The widget's just an added bonus.

I'm using stock, gmail, and touchdown lol.

How to select which Email app launches from Notifications?

Hi All,
Sorry if this issue has been brought up before but i couldn't find an answer anywhere on the forums. Please note that this is my first Android device and i'm still getting accustomed to the OS.
I prefer using the stock email app over the gmail app on the galaxy S3, however, everytime i receive a mail notification and want to check it, the phone automatically opens the gmail app to check the email instead of the stock app.
I can't find anything in the settings menu or the settings in either application to help with this issue.
Anyone know how to set the stock email app as the default to open emails from the notification bar?
Thanks!

Go to settings>apps>all and disable Gmail. Haven't tried this with Gmail but I have to assume it works, I can vouch for disabling the stock browser and messenger this way.

[Q] Gmail does not display full message

Evening all
Have just got a Smartwatch 2 and although I'm loving certain things about it, there are a few things that are proving to be frustrating.
I have paired mine with my Galaxy S4 and sadly the stock email app is not supported on the device. So I migrated my Hotmail account into Gmail (which is supported) but having done so, I can only see the first line or two of any email message. This is the case in both alerts and when I try to read the message.
I've tried K-9 but don't like the look of it on either my phone or the watch, so ideally I'd like to stick with the Gmail app if I can get it working properly.
Anyone else had this issue or know of a fix?
Cheers

Not wanting to bump my own thread, but could anyone let me know if this is a common problem or just limited to me (and some reviewer who mentioned the same problem)?
Thanks

Try Watchit

It's the same for me with my Samsung Galaxy S2. However, via the app WATCHIT, I can read the whole text of the email. Watchit is supposed to only give the notification but it actually puts the whole text, while the specific app of gmail only shows 2 lines...
I am about to uninstall the Gmail App

Can tell me everyone what is the difference between 'toasts' and 'notifications' in the App WatchIt!? Sorry, I'm German and don't know what toasts in this way means. Thanks.

Great tip, thanks for this!
Watchit now installed, Gmail uninstalled and I can now see the full message. Bizarre that this needs to be done but it works!

The gmail app is only supposed to give you the first few lines of the email. It has always been like this - even on the previous smart watches.
Watchit will give you the full email but there is a limitation. If you do not read that email on your phone before getting a second email, you will not get the full email on your watch. Watchit appears to give the same text as what appears in the notification bar on your phone. Receiving more than 1 gmail without clearing the notification will result in watchit not providing the full email to your watch as the information is not available to watchit.

Notifications appear in your notification bar on the phone, meanwhile toasts are those little messages that appear at the bottom of your phone on top of everything and disappear quickly

Hi gargamel26l
Do you have problem on your hp when you activate accessibility to use WatchIt? Whenever I activate accessibility, all video will be very laggy. Any idea how to go about this. Thanks.

Suggest an email app, or solve my problem?

A friend of mine is getting her first ever smartphone and I want to help her transition as smoothly as possible. She will not give up her Hotmail account, so I need to find an app that will give her access to her emails, and preferably gives push notifications and allows easy attaching of documents.
I've been suckling on the Google/GMail teat for years and was mildly surprised when I 'unfroze' the native email app - it seems pretty decent. But it only gives options for attaching of pictures or videos, unlike the GMail app which has a generic 'attach file' button. Obviously I know that I could find my document using a file browser or other app and then 'share' it to the Email app, but this sort of 'well you can't do it this way, you have to do it that way' crap is what I want to avoid for my friend. I want everything to be obvious, easy and for her introduction to Android to be effortless.
Any suggestions, please? A free email app, with push, and easy file attachments of all types.
EDIT: I have just signed up for a Hotmail account so I can test apps myself. The Outlook.com app seems alright - anyone got experience using it? Any fatal flaws?

Try using [email protected] Mail Pro app. I use it since it pretty much unifies all of my email accounts in a neat way with plenty of customizations available for your taste. I especially like the fact that unlike with the built in app, I can create a unified email widget for all my accounts instead of having multiple widgets and it allows me to attach any kind of file, and has a pretty advanced editor. Try the free version first and see if you'd like to upgrade to the pro.

I use Aqua Mail which works very well for me, can sync with POP and IMAP accounts. Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kman.AquaMail.

Thanks guys, but after testing it myself I think my friend will be happy enough with the Outlook.com app (although the interface certainly isn't to my taste, it is simple enough and does what she needs).

App that shows more than just the last GMail/Outlook notification?

Does anyone know of an app that shows more than only the latest GMail notification? I know one exists for WhatsApp, i would like something similar for GMail and Outlook as well.

I don't think you'll find one app for it right now. I think the only way to do it is to enable notifications on the gear app on your phone for each app that you want to see on your watch and hope they are compatible. Outlook using the built in email certainly provides notifications. I use it all the time

Can you browse your new emails? Or do you only see the last email?

I see what is in my inbox. I also use Nine and it shows full emails in my inbox
