What about battery drain, somehow it seems to drain the battery a lot on my Xperia 5

I know sony is supposed to shut this app down in time. I cannot get smtp to work on my work email. I have tried everything. I think they killed their smtp support for gsuite accounts.

why not use k9

Why don't you use k9, a very good and reliable e-mail client. newest version you can find on f-droid. Playstore till now has an old version.

Inspire won't send emails

I use my hotmail account on my inspire and it won't let me send emails. It really passes me off because I have some items on Craigslist. So I have to wait until I can get home to use my computer.

Are you using the phone's native email app? Some people, myself included, have been having problems with this. I didn't really get far in getting in fixed, but I did download the k9 email app and it's working perfectly. If you're not already using that, give it a try.

Good, I hope that works for you. My native email app worked for the first 10 days or so and then just stopped fetching my email completely. Then when I would try and refresh, I would get error messages. I changed a few settings which allowed me to refresh and get new emails but it would never fetch on it's own again. I think some changes were made as k9 made an update right afterwards with a changelog that said something like; updates to security for IMAP and others. I think some changes were made that we weren't aware of but only affected certain people. It's a bummer as I really enjoyed HTC's full screen email widget!
Solution is straightforward. GO to Accounts, account settings, go to outgoing settings, and change the last two :
Security Type: TLS
Server Port: 587
Dont ask me why this works or what it means. I have absolutely no idea. I saw it somewhere on another device once and wrote it down 'just in case'. And it works!!

Well putting specifics of what you're running would help.
What rom? Connecting via Wi-fi or through cell carrier internet?

I had the same error. Mine worked for a month and stopped after a new rom flash and hasn't worked since even after i went back to stock. You have to set up your Yahoo account manually with the default email app.

jumping from the X2 forum because I've got the same problem after a nand gone wrong and a factory reset and I found this in search.
This used to work fine, I'm not satisfied setting up the email manually because I also want the contact sync functionality that previously worked.

I've had the same issues.
Good luck on finding a fix.
I got the same problem, and so does my wife (who has not messed with her phone nearly as much as I)... So, I don't think it's a ROM issue. I think it's possibly the outdated Yahoo authenticator on our phones... The Yahoo Mail app from the Play Store works though..

It has nothing to do with which ROM you are on, as I am running stock 2.3.6 (rooted).
The Yahoo!Mail app does work. I had to delete it again because it eats my battery.
You're not alone. Before I rooted, I did a factory reset to quickly rid my phone of a bunch of junk apps and afterward during setup the native email client wouldn't allow my adding Yahoo! email... said same thing, "cannot add account please try again later".
Called Yahoo! tech support, Moto, etc. Nothing works. So, I'm using MailDroid from the Market. Not a bad app but I don't like how I can't change font sizes within the app like I could with the native android client.
C'es la vie, right?
well I can tell you guys that its not the conduit, because it was working native less than 1 week ago for me until a recent wipe/flash. It must just be the setup. I'm temped to SBF back a version or two someday when I have time.
I could do without the contact sync, but I liked how it showed the Y! icon notification for the yahoo acct and other notifications for other accounts.

I liked the fact you could change font sizes in compositions and replies, as well as email sigs. Resorted to MailDroid because I like black UI along with my rom/theming.
I heard that Yahoo! changed their security settings to not allow for a non SSL devices to connect to their servers, tried manual account setup and still nothing. I'm beginning to think AT&T, Motorubbish, and Yahoo! are all out to get us!

•Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com

•Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
•Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
•Username: full email address (for example, [email protected], not just username)
•Password: the password you login to Yahoo! with.
although I'm not entirely satisfied with the workaround. I liked the special notifier icon with the full account sync that was JUST working for me until this recent flash.

This is for the generic 'Email' option in "Add Accounts", right? I'll try this out.
Wait, just looked in Settings/Add Account, and there's no red Email stamp like with 2.3.5/6 -perhaps because I'm on Lithium v1.2.1?

Yeah, no red stamp for me. But I've been on MailDroid for a month or so, and since my email is just for personal, not that big of a deal. Just mildly irritating to have something work fine one minute and not the next...

FYI I've been trying to set this up again occasionally for the last two months
today Yahoo account sync worked again!
on my presently stock rom'd DX2, but this leads me to believe that it was actually yahoo, because I know there were also Bionic users with the same problem.
I guess I'm glad I never got around to SBF'ing back multiple versions

I think Aqua Mail is the one to go for. I use it for my gmail and outlook accounts. You can even download Development builds on their forum. It has a pleasant interface and a lot of options.
i just use the gmail app , no complaints here. Guess it all depends on what you want in the app.
I am using cloudmagic for company exchange account. Works great for me.

cheers guys ill go through them and c which is the one for me..
Cloudmagic (free and perfect for exchange accounts, but a little "dangerous" about privacy) or Aquamail (very good but free version is limited to 2 accounts and adds app infos in each outgoing mail sign and paid version is expensive for me, about 4 euros).
AquaMail but has no threaded messaging, some like that feature, I don't.
SolMail is good too.
Mailwise too.

Have you ever tried MailWise Beta? It allows you to bypass the exchange security lock if that is something you are interested in or if you company policy enforces that. I think it has a nice interface as well. I guess it all depends on user preference.
I'm still stuck with samsung email for my exchange account n I think it's a pretty decent one.. I've tried Aqua and K9 but didn't really like the user interface of both

Since flashing to 4.4 KK I have went back to the stock Samsung email client. I have turned off the exchange security bypass so the default Samsung app is fine for me now.

I am running an Xposed module that allows me to turn it off. I am also using Wanam Xposed that has the option in it as well.
Edit:
If that doesn't work for you, you could always try MailWise Beta. They have an option to turn that off as well with a code. Download the app, before setting up your account, open the app, hit the menu button, click on exchange bypass and follow the instructions.

Thanks. I think then it's an issue with my phone. Searching the interwebs doesn't really say much about the topic in terms of syncing errors. and, sony support seems to indicate they have "not had one issue with exchange and email/calendar syncing."
I've had issues with android native email app not synching. Can you describe your issue in more detail, it could be the same as mine.

well the email app takes the exchange account, I get email coming in with push. but I don't get calendar events. no matter what I do.
there's no error, or message, just doesn't show up. same settings on my two year old samsung, works just fine.

thanks for the suggestion. I actually came across your msdn post a while ago. BUT, unfortunately, outlook.com (365) is not my exchange provider, so it's a moot point.

btw I'm using Google calendar if that makes a difference

yeah that actually did it! I spent the day going down the list of exchange and email clients and in the play store and when I got to mailwise, it actually synced up the calendar events.
I damn near fell of the chair
thanks again for the suggestion. I'm not at all sure what the difference is, in setting up an exchange activesync account from mailwise as opposed to say cloudmagic or the sony email app or k9, etc...
anyway it worked and I hope this thread comes in handy for any unlucky soul that faces this issue.
Just my story and suggestion:
We use the Mdaemon Server (v14) with active sync support. First synce with my Z3 went finde. But immediately after that everything got messed up.
So after a few times adding and removint the account I tried to use the original Android Exchange client - same story here. Started to work and the just stopped to sync.
As a finel solution and afer running trough tons of Google-searches I have found the holy grail for me - Nine.
The cool thing for me was that it has a 2 weeks test-period after which you need to activate it.
So I tested about 11 days without any error and decided to buy it. So far no regrets on my decision! What I totaly like is that it has a well working search and a chat-view mode for the messages.
Anyway -- just give it a try - 2 weeks free testing.
The key was 7,60€ or whatever - equals 9.99USD.

Email App - Address lines cutting off in replies
Hello dear,
There is a problem i noticed with the Z3 email client after setting up my office email on Exchange.
for example, i am getting an email from someone with multiple people in "CC" and "To".
If i do a "reply all" or "reply only to the sender", in my reply, all the other addresses other than the sender's name gets cut off from the email to which i am replying.. This is a very disappointing thing for me since it seriously deforms the email chain and make us lose track of who all where there in the earlier email. This is especially bad when using for corporate official emails.
Before switching to Sony, (due to Battery life), i was using Samsung Galaxy and Samsung email app never had this issue. Whether you reply or forward, the previous emails were intact with all addresses and details.
Any idea on how to solve this?
regards....

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.
