When I used the stock email and activesync against my corporate email (Zimbra via NotifyLink) I noticed that the MIME headers were coming through in the e-mail and making it unusable.
The Zimbra guys think its a bug introduced in 2.3.x of the Samsung enhanced e-mail client in the way that it handles MIME (as it worked on 2.2.x):
Bug 60480 on bugzilla zimbra com (cant post link)
New to all this so my question is how feasible would it be to see what changed between 2.2 and 2.3 and possibly fix 2.3 e-mail client
Another workaround would be to find a 2.2.1 email.apk and use that instead? (i'm on 2.3.3)

where? how?
i only have SyncML, Roadsync, google...
LE: I mean native support, not roadsync to make it clear...
bump.
is there a "standard" mail apk that i could use to add an exchange account?
we know 2.1 supports multi exchange. 1 is for gmail but another one?
why on earth did sony ericsson disable this?
I'd like this too. Just got rid of my milestone which had exchange support in 2.1.
WTF? : is any possibility change mail.apk with native exchange support from diferent device ? (after root) or it`s problem litle bit deeper ... kernel module etc. ?
i love SE engineers
I'm interested to an exchange client ..decent
RoadSync it's a bug with some code lines
Hi,
I have been using the Megatron v1 ROM on my O1... The question I wish to ask is whether there is a difference in the default mail app of the original LG FW and Megatron ?
Because I was able to connect to my company's Exchange server and sync mail but I cant do so now after switching to Megatron ... (It could also be a policy change by my company and I cant reach out to the admins) ... So I dont want to unnecessaily go back to LG FW as the Megatron ROM is simply awesome ...
PS: I was unable to post directly in the Megatron thread as I am new to the forum and they wont let me post in the development section
I think there is something different between the way the stock mail app interacts w/ an exchange server and how Megatron interacts w/ exchange server. For me, I had no problem setting up my exchange account with the stock phone. When I installed Megatron, the exchange server required me to add a security password/pin to my phone. Not sure how Megatron triggered the exchange server to be more secure, but it does.
It also removes the Wifi Calling ability, too, unfortunately. These 2 things led me to go with JoeMomRom instead.

After switching from SGS to SGS2 I'm experiencing problems with my work mail. We use Zimbra as an Exchange alternative.
The problem is, all incoming mail is shown with full headers and source. HTML-mail is shown as source as well. In addition, special characters seem to be messed up. IMAP from the same server works correctly.
I've had the problem confirmed by a friend on his SGS2.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is anyone out there using the SGS2 with an Exchange server? If it works correctly for you, maybe it's something with Zimbra and the email-app version on the SGS2. Would it be possible to replace the new version with the one from the original SGS?
Edit: Maybe I should also mention that I sync contacts and calendar from the server, or I would just have switched to IMAP and waited for Samsung to fix the app.
Same thing here...
Hi,
I have exactly the same issue with SGS2 syncing with Zimbra 7.1.1.
Works well with email app non modified by Samsung on Nexus S.
Zimbra support guys said it is not their issue and marked the bug as WONTFIX:
Thank you for the information and the research. I have raised the following bug report which has been marked as WONTFIX as it is not a zimbra specific issue:
Zimbra Bug ID 60480
However there may be some updates posted there from time to time so it may be worth adding yourself to the CC list of the bug.
It is difficult to submit the bug to Samsung as they say "we do not offer support for ActiveSync problems - contact Microsoft"...
Same problem for me and all my collegue, and for different phone (GS2, HTC HERO with cyanogenmod, NEXUS S, etc). With HTC sense on my HERO it's OK. I think it's relate to Zimbra (or Exchange 2003 protocol?) Any info?
I forget, my workaround is Enhanced Email from the market (paid application).
Hi everyone,
I thought of making a thread for all Email issues with ICS on any phone. As there are lots of people out there posting a single comment on certain threads, I thought it would be nice to have a collective post where someone can look at fixing some or share knowledge. Mods if you think this area isn't appropriate please move this thread.
Email Issues with ICS
Issue 1: Google App Server Emails (Personal Domain Emails powered by Gmail) using Stock Email App on Galaxy S2 which is very similar to Android Stock Email App. Its apparent that this doesn’t work in Stock ICS on Galaxy Nexus S.
Symptom: After finishing the process of adding accounts, the Inbox keeps loading but not loads.
Reason: Google or Android has changed a key protocol within the implementation of Active sync (exchange) in ICS where redirecting of m.google.com or m.hotmail.com doesn’t work anymore.
Fix: Apparently fixed in 4.0.4 but no claims yet.
Issue 2: Stock Email App on Galaxy S2 drains battery.
Symptom: Battery only lasts 7-8 hours.
Reason: Google Sync isn’t supported by Android on any other app except Gmail app on Android Platform. Your server also requires a maximum calendar lookback and maximum email
lookback,
Fix: Clear the data from the app and cache, delete all accounts and re add them again. or change the exchange policies.
Issue 3: Corporate Emails won’t sync with Stock Email app (Galaxy S2 or Nexus)
Symptom: Connection Error, Couldn’t download all emails. wont send outgoing mail etc
Reason: Policy not supported, PIN authentication doesn’t exist in ICS, One of the features that's lacking from ICS, is S/MIME.
Fix: Change the Exchange server settings or wait for Android and or Samsung to fix the app and Active sync implementation in ICS. Encrypt your sd card (internal and or external)
Bottom Line: Google doesn’t support all the exchange policies and protocols hence suit yourself. As there are more than 4 dozen policies, they only support the most commonly used. Samsung has rubbished the already buggy Stock Email App from AOSP by adding their own rubbish.
So, we are left with a few choices here:
Change back to Gingerbread where everything use to work.
Change your exchange server policies (Corporate accounts)
Wait until Android fixes redirecting protocol for m.google.com or m.hotmail.com services
Wait until Samsung fixes stock email app
Wait until Google fixes stock email app (wont help samsung guys)
Wait until Android implements correct protocols and policies in ICS and Samsung follows up.
Really pathetic to see this happening and where google passes buck to others for their apps, I thought the whole idea of Open Source was to share and learn. Unlike Linux where its usually fixed quickly and across the board.
I have 2 android tablets side by side with identical default email settings, and my new tablet isn't retrieving email.
I'm using the default email client that comes with Android. My email has worked fine on My Asus Tf300T for the pas 18 months. It's currently running 4.2.1.
My new Asus Tf701t is not working properly. It came out of the box with 4.2.2 loaded. I have my settings correct in regards to Pop and SMTP. I can even send email fine. But it's not retrieving emails period. I'ver verified that I'm connecting. When I type a incorrect pop3 server, I appropriately get a error indicating that it's unable to connect. When I type the correct pop3 server, it connects. It even acts like it loading emails up, but nothing is coming down into my email box. I've read around and seen others having this issue as well, but have yet to find a fix.
Is this a BUG with 4.2.2? I find it really hard to believe that a updates Android version would be released with something as common as email not working.
I suppose for now I'll load up a 3rd party email program until this is resolved, or until I find a resolution locally.
I'm open to any thoughts or ideas on potential fixes.
Thanks All,
Brannon
