Stock Email app not loading older emails? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

So I been kinda frustrated with the stock email app.
I have 2 emails, a Gmail and a Outlook.
When you are in shared view you cannot just scroll down to load older emails, it goes to like latest 2 days max.
I can go in to each separate email and scroll down to load older emails, which is super slow.
Then they show up in shared/all view.
But when I close the app (shut it completely) it all goes back to default and it loads like the latest 2 days again.
Is this just how the default app behaves? Never seen such horrible feature lol.
I would prefer to use stock because of the icon etc and I do like the minimalist design.
side question: I guess there is no way to get a full month view in the default Calendar app? you know month with text like google calendar, samsung calendar etc?

This is probably how it behaves, I use Gmail app and I don't have issue seeing older mails from my gmail and non-gmail account

Yeah It seems like that, just thought it was weird, and really bad
Gmail works fine, as does bluemail etc.
Guess I will use Bluemail
And await a working systemless root so I can use Unicon to change system icons and names

Gmail App is better than stock email app. Now we can configure it for our office mails too.
So it will be better to use Gmail app rather than using both apps.
And the problem you mentioned here won't be there in Gmail App. However it depends on your personal preferences.
Regarding your side question: Im also expecting this feature. Currently in weeky view, all the calendars such as FB calendar, Google calendar can be viewed at a single place which is differentiated by their background color.

Which program do you use for gmail?

Hello there,
i use the program gmail that comes by default, and i think it´s great.
But, one thing i´ve noticed is, this software doens´t work with the multiscreen. Only messaging. But messagin it´s not push email, but only sync from time to time, which it´s diferent from the gmail program.
Which one do you use for gmail? the messaging program, or the gmail app?
many thanks
By messaging app is that the stock samsung email app? If so that's what I use only because I monitor 4 email accounts. If I had only a Gmail account to monitor I'd use the stock Gmail app. I find it much better then all other email apps put out by the companies.
Yes it is.
But if we want to use the multiscreen we have to use the messaging app, which its not push, But the gmail one

Correct. For push you need stock Gmail app. However I think in jb someone said there are more options for multiscreen. Or on the Note 2 essentially you could do any apps. Hopefully that will make its way to us.

WHOAHHHH!!! Samsung really listens.......i.mean.REALLY.listens........WHOAHHHHHHHHHHHH :good:
The samsung email app does work with push on gmail.
Just configure as "exchange server" and use m.google.com as adress.
Disable calendar syncing at next dialogues (as it would sync your gmail calendar twice)
I will continue to use the gmail app, I'm holding out until the note2 like multiscreen update.... anyway, the email app does have interesting features, like rich text editing and pasting graphics inside a mail

Use the Gmail app. It's the true stock email client for Android (and it supports accounts other than Gmail).

Hmm maybe its cause I added an account already using the email app? I'll try removing it.
Guys, GMail App is ok for home / occasional use (it's too messy and colorful) but not for a professional use, with several email accounts and few "tons" of administrative messages daily. Conversation view in HTC Mail was a life saver, in Samsung Mail is - until now - the only real downside.
Waiting with great interest for such an improvement!

Stock email app NOT gmail

Anyone know how to get the old stock email app working on pixel? I've installed an old apk but as soon as I try and open it, it says to use Gmail and points me that way. Makes me feel like I'm using an iPhone.

I just got my phone set up yesterday. Are you saying there was a different default e-mail app on this phone at some point? Mine only came with the Gmail app. Seems strange to me to not have Gmail be the stock email app on a Google phone.

Wow. Thats too bad. Guess I'll have to wait for a custom rom to use it again. Its still in Cyanogenmod builds, maybe its in gapps. Anyhow, I really liked keeping it separate from gmail.
Yeah. You may be able to build it from source from CM but sounds like a pain.

Why not just download another email app. Like Outlook, that one works well with all email accounts.
I'd strongly recommend K9 as an email app. Been using that since my G1 and it's still outstanding!
K9 or blue mail works great, I've used k9 for a long time, just switched over to blue, very hard to decide which one is the keeper ?
Sent from my Pixel using XDA-Developers mobile app
These guys are not actually correct.
The "stock" email program STILL EXISTS, and in fact, is actually INSTALLED on Pixel devices from factory!
BUT, google has merged its UI into the GMAIL program.
So you have two options if you want to use the "stock" email program;
1) Set up your IMAP email account through the GMAIL program,
2) DISABLE the gmail program, and guess what happens? The "email" program launcher icon shows up in your launcher!
HOWEVER, it really is a much better idea to use k9mail instead. It is far more feature rich.

Neat, I didn't know that! Still gonna use K9 myself but that's pretty cool!
Aquamail would be my recommendation for a mail app. Easily the best and easiest to use of the six or eight that I tried...

That's a good find but unfortunately doesn't work for me. My mail server wont play nice with the Gmail app so I can't even get it configured. I still tried to disable Gmail but didn't see the stock email app. I then installed a stock email apk and it installed but still gives me the same screen saying that Gmail is the new everything app

Aquamail Pro is nice, arguably better than K9, although it was just acquired by MobiSystems so who knows how future updates are going to look. Large companies acquiring small, indie developer projects does not usually end well for the app.
Security-wise, Aquamail, K9 and Nine are about the only third-party apps I'd consider.
I know this thread is now almost 2 months old.
what I"m looking for is a mail app to keep my gmail separate from my 2 exchange emails - and it MUST integrate with a calendar widget.
I haven't found one that works best. I liked the old "Mail" app - I could left swipe to delete, right to options - all your reply, reply-all, forward options right at the top of each message, rather than the options dots.
Outlook won't get sucked into my Google Calendar.

Aquamail - I tried just about every top email app. Also needed it to support Calendar, works perfect. I use the paid version and can't imagine a more customizable Android email client. Absolutely outstanding. Extremely reliable too.
Use Nine for Exchange. I've been using it for years, best Android email client.

Yeah, definitely for Exchange. I still prefer K9 for IMAP (easy to have lots of aliases) but Nine is definitely where it's at for Exchange. Great integration to Calendar and more!
It seems that only the Lollipop branch of the stock email app 7.0-x is merged into Gmail. Earlier versions of the stock email app, targeted for KitKat like email app 6.3-x, are still working. I am on CM 11 and the fresh installed email app 6.3-1218562 seems functional and wants to be configured with an email account.
However, regarding security concerns it may be still better to use an alternative mail client like K9. I ask me now how that one performs on low-level phones with weak hardware. All these super-rich features of that nice K9 mailing app needs surely hardware power. I noticed a similar behavior also on more recent Gmail versions. These are far more hardware hungry then older ones. That's the reason why I like the stock email app, - it seems lightweight and fast.

Anyone using MailDroid?

MailDroid is my standard mail app, used it on many phones. But I'm having trouble using it on the Mate. When a message comes in the notification sound is cut off very quickly or doesn't sound at all.
The developer says the app works OK on the latest Android, but I think it might be related to the unusual Huawei chipset.
Is anyone else here using MailDroid?
I use it and it works just fin, NO notifications problems.

I am having the same issue. Any resolution? I have tried different stock sounds as well as my own; all get cut off or play for a split second.
Still no fix here. I thought it might be due to the Mate's very strict battery saving. But I've tried all the settings without success.
I know MailDrid's tech support were looking into it - perhaps you could drop them an email?

I sent an email to the Dev. We'll see what happens. I am like you, love Maildroid and have used the paid version for years. I have MD on my Mate8 and I do not have this issue with the notification sounds.
It's a real pain only getting a short beep, always a danger of missing emails coming in.
It doesn't happen with the built-in Mail app, but that is nowhere near as good.
If you hear something, please come back here. I'll do the same.

Thanks. I sent a follow-up email, still no reply. What are you using in replacement in the meantime? I tried AquaMail - seems ok. Blue Mail, Outlook + myMail look nice, but not customizable.
I really need an app that is customizable where I can have multiple accounts, be able to specify Reply-To, etc
I'm using BlueMail at the moment. As you say it's not as flexible but at least you can hear when you get a message.

Try this... activate notifications in the Gmail app. Turn sounds + icon notifications off in Maildroid. Place a Maildroid widget on your Home Screen which shows the badge count of new emails. When Gmail sound-notifies, open via Maildroid. Once the message is read, the Gmail notification icon disappears from Notifications Bar.
PS... still no response from the dev from my 2 emails.
Thanks! I'll try that, and give the developer another email

Still no fix or response from dev, There have been (2) updates to the app since our last posts; none fix the issue.
Yes, I've been following it. I'm not at all sure that this is 100% a MailDroid fault. Some other email apps are affected, some aren't.
I gave up. I switched to AquaMail Pro. Very similar and highly customizable. $4.99. No notification/sound issues!

Issues with stock e-mail app

Hello there!
I've noticed, that sent e-mail are not saved/moved (don't know which mechanism should be) into "Sent" folder. Well... they are, but they're just available from phone - there's no sign of e-mails on webmail or directly on desktop e-mail application (like Thunderbird or eM Client). Does any one experience similar issues?
my email app working good , sending and incoming mails all are good
Is your email account setup as IMAP?
Besides, I remember there's an auto BCC in the Settings menu that you can set to always auto BCC yourself...

I don't have this exact issue, but I noticed that any email more than a week old seems to be removed from the app and has to be searched for manually, especially the starred emails. I'm using a Yahoo account for mine though.

I'm not the OP, but the stock mail app is just a portal to these various email servers. For some reason though, the stock app doesn't continue to store messages older than about a week and you have to search the email server to retrieve them. It's annoying, but it works.
I tried using the Gmail app, but it lacked some of the features I use in the stock app. I also tried inbox and Yahoo's own app but neither of them would connect to my work email account.
So just like the OP, I'm having some issues with the stock app but it works better for my needs than the others. If you're also using the stock app, please chime in with your experience.
