One thing I would like Android app to improve is to utilize the bigger screen more effectively like iPad.
I enjoy a lot on using email app on iPad because it supports two-pane interface, where list of mail on the left pane and the content of the selected mail is on the wider right-pane.
I saw Galaxy Tab has something similar for its email app, and it is being discussed about the possibility of porting the apk to work on other rooted droid phone/tablet.

Will anyone try it on Archos 70 or 101?
I'm a newbie on rooting my Archos; so I'm not sure I can try it myself even I'm eager to.
Thanks
i haven't gotta it to work.. i can install it but it forces closes on opening....
dont think its supposed to be "installed" according to that thread.. just pop it in the system/app folder.
does the client have gmail support? i get the feeling its just a pop3/imap client which isnt ideal for me. still hopefully the gmail app for tablets will be released for it soon after honeycomb is out
i delete the stock email.apk and put the new email.apk in the system/app folder...
1) i install it but it force closes...
2) i put it in the folder and reboot tablet and it disappears on reboot
3) i install it with stock email still installed and get failed install
so i dont know wat im doing wrong.. i have the sde installed with rooted kernel and i cant uninstall any stock apps.. they delete but return on reboot..
Thanks for trying.
When I got Archos 70 (Froyo 2.2.1), I can't use the stock email app to setup my Yahoo mail, no matter what I did, it always said wrong login/password (either automatic or manual setup won't work); but don't have any problem with my two gmail accounts setup.
So I downloaded and installed K-9 email app from Market and it works smoothly as my only mail app till now.
Just wonder why I can install and use another email app (K-9) on my unrooted Archos, but can't do the same for Galaxy Tab email app?
It's probably looking for something in the framework files on the G-Tab, which the Archos doesn't have. Kind of like trying to run the Sense clock on a non-sense rom, it just won't work (won't work even on a Sense rom if you're not using HTC's rosie).
Basically there's something on the g-tab that's missing on the Archos..
Because the Galaxy Tab email program uses extensions ( by samsung ) put into the system.
If someone finds out what/where/how we will be able to use that app.
I've got it working but I don't have enough posts on XDA to post a link. If you go to archosfans forums and look at the gen 8 hacking forum you'll see links to the files used to get the GTAB email app working on my 70. You must use the SDE root method to install it.
Did you get pop3 working?
It's working fine for gmail, but my nprmal pop3 accounts are not loading.
Thanks. I got Yahoo and Gmail working.
In order to make it work, I have to clear cache in Manage Application first.
When composing a new mail, I can't attach document. It always fC.
My hotmail account did not download messages but even stock android email app has issues with hotmail.
It does seem to be having some issues with attachments. I think it is due to the archos mount structure.
Having been using Galaxy Tab email.apk on my Archos 70 for two days and I like it very much (except not being able to attached file for new mail, downloading attached file is ok).
Just notice that sometimes read mails are still in bold characters instead of normal ones.
Sometimes it become normal characters after being read; but next time when I launch the email app, it becomes bold again.
Anyone has the same problem?
how use this
impossible to rename or move the email.apk
and copy the 3 apks on rep system/app/
i use the SDE and the A101 is rooted
Do you use the SDE + SD Card?
Otherwise you still use the squashfs, that is readonly.
So how are you guys removing the stock email apk?

If you root your device and boot from sdcard with Uruk hack, then you can simply copy those three Galaxy Tab apk into /system/app by either Astro or Rootexplorer; and reboot again from sdcard.
Hello to all,
I have a Atrix and am moving to a Samsung Galaxy S-2 for many reasons, on AT&T. My Primary Email is Roadrunner and My secondary is Gmail. Unfortunately, there appears to be no App similiar to "Blackberry Desktop Manager" that does similar on Android, and I need to get some help with "How To" Move my Email, Text, SMS and other Messaging from the Atrix to the SGS-2.
When I open the Contact or Address Book Icon, on the Atrix it shows, "450" Contacts-( On the Atrix) Im hopeful, Ill be able to save that as well.
I was hoping I could find some help here from one of the Senior XDA Members, as to what I need to do.
Thank you in advance!

Contacts - should be synced to your Google account unless you've been storing them incorrectly on the Atrix. Log into Gmail and check to make sure your contacts are all there. If they are, you should be able to sync right up the moment you add your Google account on the GS2.
SMS and Call Logs - I use SMS Backup and Restore and Call Logs Backup and Restore from Ritesh Sahu. You'll need to pull the XML files from the Atrix's SD card after doing a backup
Apps - Titanium Backup will let you backup your apps, then "restore missing apps" on the GS2.
Emails - Gmail is stored on the server, if Roadrunner is IMAP, the same deal should apply

I have an Atrix but I'm here because I'm considering making the same move. I'd be interested to hear why you switched if you're willing to share.
As far as your contacts, if you go into Contacts then Settings, what is 'Contact Storage' set to? I'm wondering if they're really on the phone?
I see an 'export to sd card' option (hit menu while in contacts). It will supposedly dump them all into a .vcf file on your sd card. You should be able to import that into Gmail's contacts and then they just show up on your SGS2.
Good luck!
Hi all,
My father recently bought a Samsung Galaxy s II from At&T and is in the process of transitioning between jobs. He's had a Blackberry work phone since 2000 so he is looking to transfer all the contacts. The only problem is the firm wiped the Blackberry before they gave it to him. He has all of his outlook contacts, which is the bulk of what he needed anyway, saved in a zip file (Well he says its a zip file I havent seen it yet to confirm) attached to an email he sent himself. So my first question is: is there an easy way to transfer the zip of contacts to his phone and have them show up in his contacts list? If not or if its not actually a zip file, could we in theory transfer the contacts to a spreadsheet and then get that on the phone? Any help would be great, thanks guys
Jared
Probably easiest to import them to Google Contacts on a computer, then sync to the phone.
You're in the wrong forum btw, you'd want

Hello
I’m using the native Android email application in ICS 4.0.4 to manage my work’s email account ! Not a single problem during the configuration and the syncing for the first time, all folders and emails has been downloaded successfully! But after I used it for about a month and eventually made some changes in the folders organization (Renaming, moving, deleting some of them) Nothing changed in the Email App ! The old folders still appears and only some of the new one are there !!!
Anyone have any idea how to make a full sync to get rid of the old and get instead the new folders apart from deleting and recreating the account again ??
Thanks
HI guys,
I am a system admin and we are using an approved MDM to manage our BYOD policy. The thing that sucks about this MDM is that it only supports POP3 or IMAP for email protocols.The great part is that i can push my own "approved APK's to the phones. I know you can use Titanium Back up to pull email setups from one rom to another given that they are the same version. Is there a way to edit either the Gmail APK or the Email APK to have the configuration file inserted so that when it installs it has the proper setup for the user account or maybe a system file something like TB?
We are using google apps for email so either application works for this.
Thanks in advance.
