Hello Everyone,
I moved from Xperia to Pixel and i really miss the Xperia's email app. I used to set it up to access email's from work (Exchange server) and i could see the calendar on Google's calendar as well. I know i can do this if i set up Gmail to access work email but Gmail has issues syncing Sub-Folder and the Outlook app is well plain ugly and does not sync with Google calendar.
Do you guys know of any email app that works like Xperia's email app?
Regards
Sanjay
For syncing with my Echange server from work I like Nine

Hello,
This is my first Android phone after using the iPhone. I added all my Gmail accounts to the email app from Samsung, and I'm still not getting push email. It's set at IMAP and everything. Do I need to set it up as an exchange account?
Thanks.
you need to use the gmail app for gmail to push as far as i know If you only use Gmail, you can remove the email app from that bottom dock by going to the applications screen and hitting menu there is a setting to arrange via grid and then rearrange apps and you can drag the gmail app down there and remove the email app

Thanks for the quick reply. That slightly is disappointing since the Samsung email app has an universal inbox where as the Gmail email app doesn't. Is there an app that would help with this issue if I were to root the phone?
I apologize in advanced if I sound stupid or don't make any sense. I'm still checking up with all the Android lingo
How would I go about adding a non gmail and a non exchange account? Would the Gmail app support that? Or would I have to use the Samsung email app for that?
Thanks.

The Gmail app only supports gmail accounts I believe. You either have to use the Samsung email app or forward your emails from your other accounts to gmail.
Another suggestion is to use K-9 Mail. I have my Gmail, AOL, and Hotmail accounts added to the K-9 Mail and Gmail and AOL both give me push emails and I have Hotmail set up for polling every hour.
K-9 seems to be the best alternative because I didn't want to forward all my emails to Gmail and the Samsung email app wasn't pushing my emails like I wanted.
If the samsung email app supports exchange active sync, you can use it to get gmail and it'll push. Gmail now fully supports active sync. I had my iphone set up that way and I got push emails from Gmail no problem.
The Google Gmail website shows you how to set up Gmail as if it were an exchange active sync account. Its really simple and worked great for me for over a year. I have the Captivate now and only use the Gmail app, but I only have one Gmail account, not multiple ones like the OP.

That's exactly what I'm looking. That works out perfect. Thanks again! And if I ever want to sync my contacts and calendar with Gmail, I can always turn off sync for mail but keep sync active for contacts and calendar.
Thanks again.
Ok so I've bought LP but have a problem. It won't sync with my Googlemail account. Add the GMail widget, nada. Add the calendar, nada.
I have removed my Gmail app (root) in favour of the SE mail client, so maybe this has effect but surely the calendar should sync? I have my google mail account configured in Accounts & sync and it works fine elsewhere.
Anyone else run into this problem? There are lots of hits on a Google search, but no answers that I can find. I'll post to LP's board if no-one knows but figure the responses here will be better
My bad - it seems that you need to have the stock calendar sync'd to Googlemail & then LauncherPro feeds off it. I just didn't expect that cuz I had other 3rd party calendars that didn't depend on the same
Hi
I just got my transformer and realize that there are 2 email client in it. The Gmail and the default. I just wondering if it is possible for me to delete the Gmail client. I want to keep the system email client since it got a widget. I don't want the other Gmail Client to be working, but somehow I cant delete it and whenever I link my transformer to my gmail, that Gmail client will be linked too. Thank you all for helping.
You need to be rooted, then you can delete, or better move to another directory, the Gmail.apk that is in /system/app/.
Just turn off notifications and sync for the Gmail app. Don't have to delete it just don't use it
Why bother deleting it when you can just deselect mail and contact sync when you connect your google account?

Hi! you can deactivate the sync in the settings->accounts and sync.
the gmail client also has a widget. it also supports push email with gmail accounts. if your email is gmail, then it's definitely the better client.
if you have have other email services, i'd recommend you setup your gmail accounts to fetch them, and it would also work nicely with the gmail client.

This, if anything go the other direction and remove the other email client. Gmail is push, meaning it doesnt require a sync interval and doesnt have to constantly check. When email is ready it just shows up, far more efficient.
Rather than using the yahoo mail app i simply use gmail to access my yahoo account, but for the last few weeks it hasn't been syncing.
I delete the account and re add it and it works for a day but then it stops syncing, i delete the account again and add it and it works for another day but then it stops. Any idea what the issue could be? Is yahoo neutering anyone that isn't using their app to check mail?
All the time. It's been like this for months.

Surely yahoo has been scrambling to fix this issue... no?
Experience this since the July 16 update. Before this, gmail doesn't support 2-step verification for Yahoo and you need to generate a password from Yahoo's setting. Now it supports 2-step verification, but the issue persists just like what @peachpuff mentioned
Yahoo Email is a good mail client but it is not properly working for a few years. if you want to switch yahoo mail then you can go Gmail Email client. It is good and fast work. you can recover old data in Gmail mail client with a third-party tool. Visit here more info: softaken yahoo to Gmail software

Tl;dr: Why wouldn't a "clone" of K-9 Mail connect to gmail?
Hello friends.
I know this is a long shot, but here goes:
If I make a clone of K-9 Mail (not for any nefarious purpose or anything like that, I simply need to change the app name so that the play store won't offer me updates) using App Cloner, the clone wont connect to gmail server to check my mail. Instead, it gives an SSL error.
It works perfectly on hotmail, yahoo, and my school's mail, but not on gmail.
The original checks my gmail with no problems, and the settings are the same.
Can anyone shed some light on the matter?
Best regards!
