Kaiten Mail = Tablet version of K-9 Mail - Anybody tried it?
http://www.amazon.com/K-9-Dog-Walkers-Kaiten-Mail/dp/B004UBB1G2
From Amazon Market:
Product Description
Kaiten Mail is an advanced email client for Android. Building on the excellent open-source base provided by K-9 Mail, Kaiten offers a fresh user interface re-imagined for tablets and high-resolution phones.
Built by K-9's original developer, Kaiten is simpler, easier to work with and a whole lot prettier. Frequently used commands are now available in the application's action bar. If you have the screen real-estate, Kaiten's split-screen view lets you see a mailbox and individual messages side-by-side.

this is exactly what ive been looking for! thanks for this!
Just bought it... so far, so good. I have not tested it with Exchange yet (I never could get K-9 working on our exchange server.)
Otherwise, the email preview pane is a good fit for the Nook (CM7) and even gives it a bit of an Outlook feel.
Until either Kaiten or K9 support Exchange 2010, these are a no go.

Yeah, I can authenticate my exchange server, but no push email and I can't seem to properly pull email either.
K-9 scales pretty well on the nc, how does this compare to it?

does this have anything that the Notion Ink email app doesn't?

Yeah, I went ahead and got it. Better email client than the stock CM7 email, nice tablet layout and does push all for $5. Hopefully they will get true Exchange support in the near future so that I can use one email app for all my needs that is in tablet form (using Touchdown right now - Great app, wish they'd add imap support).

Good find...much nicer than either the stock email/gmail clients. Having the split-pane is what I liked about the email client in Honeycomb, which was lost once I went to CM7. Working well for me thus far (esp like option for a "Dark" theme) and not a bad price for $5.
Thanks for the input. I have been using K-9 for over a year now. Happy to support them with $5 and it certainly is worth it on the NC.
Purchased and installed. Similar to K-9 in settings and setup. Working great for my accounts. Much better interface with split pane, especially in landscape.
I like it!
I love k9 email on my NC but it is not truly a 100% offline email app (wont cache images). I get a lot of deal emails and only have time to read them on my lenghty bus ride to work.
To do this now. I have to tether to my evo which is extremely slow and wastes most of my time I feel. I'm barely using any of my emmc space and this would be an excellent use of this.
Will this cache images in HTML emails? Would this be a difficult feature to implement? (would make it in my interest to buy the app and see if the developer could add that as an option)
Thanks guys, I'm mainly looking to make my nook more offline friendly so I don't have to rely on slow tether/mobiles data speeds.

I have heard that TouchDown for Tablets is good for Exchange:

Not sure, but you can e-mail the developer and request it.

Just downloaded it, and am luvin' it so far - especially the split pane in landscape mode. Definitely a keeper! Better than K9.

TouchDown is, however, a HORRID HORRID interface. I can't stand it. I'd rather use the browser. Seriously.

Are you sure it's by the folks who do K9 right now, or just one of the guys who used to work on it? I'm reading it as if it's one of the folks who used to work on it, ie: You're not supporting the free K9. But not that it's a big deal either way.. I might ask them about it, I hang in their channel all day anyway

Using that for Exchange and Kaiten for Gmail. Like having tablet style software, but would prefer to run one email app with the tablet layout features.
Ceger
bought it form Amazon figured with all the free daily apps, I owed them.
Seems to work well. Not sure I understand the polling/exchange setup well. I have exchange setup and there is mail in my inbox.
Is it in fact doing push? or must I manually check mail compared to touchdown which only does exchange but does push
Following up on Kaiten Mail, yes indeed, this is a commercial branch of K9 and will at some point in the future be maintained as parallel branches. I can only assume at this point that K9 and Kaiten will retain the same functionality and Kaiten will get additional work on top of that for GUI and usability.
IMO K9 is just fine as-is, it's not flashy but it doesn't have to be. That said, Kaiten does look nice on my tablet. A few bugs to work out in it (hello splitters, stay where I put you!) but otherwise it looks really nice.
Hey gang,
I'm responsible for Kaiten and indeed was also responsible for K-9 coming into existence.
To the poster who asked, no, I'm not a former K-9 developer - I'm still the project dictator
I initially branched Kaiten from K-9 as part of a project I was doing for an OEM who wanted a "commercial" tablet-style mail client for their Froyo tablets. I can't say for sure when Kaiten's features will make their way back into K-9, but they will. If you're particularly desperate to play around, the current version of the Kaiten code (without the branding and under the same Apache2 license as K-9) is in K-9's git repository in a topic branch somewhere under experimental/
As an iOS ex-user, I miss lots of apps that I used in iOS. One of the most important of them is Tweetbot.
I've been searching for a great Tweetbot replacement and the only tolerable ones that I found are Plume, Boid and TweetDeck. But I am being forced to use the terrible official client because of the push notifications. Those clients have some sort of "placebo" push, which is slower and is less battery-efficient.
So, there's my question: can I use another app to push Twitter mentions to my device? Personally, I've got 2 ideas: an app like Boxcar (available for iOS, developers say that they are working on an Android app, but it feels abandoned) or some way to redirect official Twitter's notifications to Plume when I tap on them on Notification Center.
Thanks!
I created the service appfeed.net (in my signature) that allows users to add apps to a list and receive notifications via RSS when the app is updated or is on sale.
The service is up since 1 year now, and I have a couple thousand users tracking many apps, but I am not able to monetize it correctly to be able to maintain it.
currently the only income is from donations, which are rare, currently after the renewal for the 2nd year I am already paying from my pocket for the hosting.
The problem is that after the initial sign up, users will visit the website rarely, so ads on the website will be mostly useless. I was looking on a way to put ads in the RSS feed, but AdMob and AdSense by Google stopped offering Feed ads.
What else can I do to earn some money to be able to maintain my service?
try http://www.websitetoapp.net
This is a great service and one click to make an app.

Is there a way to not allow this to be done without uninstalling the TweetCaster app? I checked in the app's settings and I don't see any way to stop or not allow updates. I do have Google Play's settings at "Do not auto-update apps" - would this be sufficient? Or may Twitter go behind everyone's back and do this independently through their app and bypass Google Play? I do not want Twitter to be able to identify what apps I have or otherwise have access to my S4 to "target ads" to me.
Please note I Do Not have the Twitter app, I have TweetCaster (if it's different than the Twitter app? I don't know?) I heard facebook was doing this same BS & people deleted the app (I Do Not use FB) and am looking for a way to not allow Twitter to do this (if there is a way to). Thanks (I don't believe the last line below)

Twitter Plans to Peek at Your Apps to Serve You Targeted Ads
Twitter will soon identify the other apps on your phone in an effort to personalize your experience on its service—i.e. serve you targeted ads.
The company discusses the move on its website, and according to the news site Re/code, this sort of tracking will begin with a new version of its iPhone app, set to roll out on Wednesday. A new Android version that works in much the same way will roll out over the next week.
Now a public company, Twitter is exploring many different ways to boost its revenue, and one method is through better targeted ads. The company already has some personal information about those using its service—what they type into their Twitter profiles and the tweets they post—but now, it wants more. “To help build a more personal Twitter experience for you, we are collecting and occasionally updating the list of apps installed on your mobile device so we can deliver tailored content that you might be interested in,” the company says.
In this way, it’s following the lead of Facebook and Google and so many others that seek to target ads. The difference is that Twitter doesn’t have access to nearly as much personal data as Facebook, which inherently encourages users to provide information about themselves, or Google, which operates a wide range of services atop its own mobile OS. So Twitter is reaching out into other parts of the phone, something that is easy to do. The Apple/Google mobile OSes provide ready access to information like this & many apps take advantage of this—some going much further than others.
Twitter says it will point users to its new data policy, via an in-app notification, before it starts collecting any personal information. But the new update is opt-out, which means that in order for the company to stop gathering data on your account, you must explicitly turn this data collection off. But few users are likely to do so.

I think Tweetcaster is a third party application just like Falcon doesn't have anything to do with the default twitter app. .Or you can just see if that option is listed their within the Tweetcaster application to opt out of it.
Recently I've come to realize I use a fair number of Google's services, in addition to Android. I think I need to diversify a bit. If there aren't any decent alternatives, I'll stick with Google for that specific app, but I'd like to explore my options. I'm particularly partial to open source software, and I wouldn't mind a developer/suite that handles a couple of these together. So far I've switched to (but still willing to accept suggestions):
Search - DuckDuckGo
Browser - Mozilla Firefox
Storage - Dropbox, Box
Now, I'm looking for:
Email-
Maps -
Calendar -
Notes -
I'm not interested in switching to any of Microsoft's services, either. Windows is enough for them.
Thank you.
I know what you mean. A bit of variation is a good thing.
Maps: I particularly like Maps.me. For browser-based, try http://www.openstreetmap.org/
Email: A great open source app is K9 Mail.
Notes: I generally take all my notes in DroidEdit(There's a free version too) and ColorNote. If you need more functionality, Evernote is an option.
Calendar: Try Cal.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
For email, I'm also looking for a free, basic service in addition to a client app.
Sorry, it looks like I originally posted this in the wrong sub-forum.
Regarding free email services, what do you have to say about:
Zoho
GMX
Mail.com
Inbox.com
Thanks.
Sorry to keep bringing this up, but how about email from:
Autistici/Inventati
Riseup
e-mail - yandex
