I'm using the native email app on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and for some reason spellcheck and autocorrect don't work anymore. It still works under text messaging, Gmail, and everywhere else (I have it all enabled in settings), just not in samsungs native email app. I've tried using different keyboards, but nothing resolves the issue. I've also tried clearing the data for the mail app and redoing my settings but this didn't help either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I tried searching the forums but didn't see anything about this.
Is it possible to instead just reinstall the email app? I'm rooted if it makes any difference.

I noticed that the Samsung email app (not gmail) disables autocomplete, auto capitalization, and auto period when typing in the body of an email. Is there a trick to reenable this?
Yes, I am having the same problem. I'd prefer not to use the samsung email app and use the stock one, like on my old Motorola Droid. Any way around this?
I've found that auto completion etc works fine when X9 is activated for the samsung keyboard but not for swype or for Swiftkey (nor the awesome swiftkey beta)
Am also having this problem - have tried numerous keyboard apps - all do the same thing. Ie autocomplete works fine for email addy, subject, but is disabled/does not work in the actual message content. All work fine in other text input situations such as SMS and gmail however. Very frustrating
bump for possible solution pls?
Can we freeze the built in email app, and install the standard one?
Anyone else having this issue, its fairly annoying like!!
I'm awaiting delivery of my SGS2 (tomorrow!), so I can't be sure about this, but I'm 99% sure.
Freeze the email app and forget about it. Try using the gmail app instead. You can set up your gmail account to collect email from other providers. I stopped using Hotmail and a pop3 account months ago when a friend told me about this. You need to set up the email accounts via the gmail website, rather than in the app, but it works a treat.
Not for everyone, I'm sure, but it solved all my email woes across every ROM I've flashed since.

As far as I am aware, gmail cannot collect mail from ms exchange. Plus, you'd loose the other exchange features such as calendar/tasks etc. It should be something simple to allow auto correct etc on the email text box?

You're correct - it can't get mail from an exchange server. But, if you're just using pop3 then it works great.
Yea, the gmail app works great and is updated regularly. The built in email app that supports exchange is the problem.
I was able to solve the auto complete problem by updating the phone to a newer firmware version(XWKE7), but the auto capitalization, and auto period still don't work.
The reason I asked about freezing the email app was because I had another phone, I think it was the Atrix, that had a signature bug, and someone posted a new mail.apk file that fixed the problem.
Auto correct, Auto Complete, Capitalization & Punctuation
This is a known issue. Its not there with the samsung native keyboard but there with any third party keyboard. The two keyboards which have solved the auto correct and auto complete problem is Smart Keyboard Pro and Perfect Keyboard. Auto capitalization and punctuation has still not been corrected though. But I would any day use an awesome keyboard like Smart Keyboard Pro and live without auto cap and punctuation in the email app than be stuck with the crappy samsung keyboard.
Hope this helps.
Just to let you know.
Auto capitalization on the email client is working now with "Perfect keyboard"
Quick question.......Trying to help a friend out.
He just set up his phone but all his emails are being sent out with "Low Importance" and he can't seem to find the setting. I haven't looked at the phone personally....Can anyone point me in the right direction to turn that off?
Thanks,
KB
is he using the gmail app, the other stock email app or a 3rd party email app? kinda need more information.
He's using the built in email app......His yahoo mail is also setup. I guess he says his yahoo and work email are in the same app, he opens them together.
anyone ever find an answer to this? I am having the same issue on my AT&T Galaxy s2
This seems to be a bug. I have the same issue with the stock email client. I use K9 instead.
Hey all,
I recently upgraded to ICS on my samsung galaxy SII using KIES. Since the update i cannot get the stock e-mail client to show my hotmail e-mails as read on other devices.
For example, when on GB if i read an e-mail on the phone while i was out, and then checked my e-mail on my computer when i got back home. The e-mail would show as read on both devices.
But since ICS the e-mail only shows as read on the phone, is there any way to change the settings so that it works the same as it did on GB?
All other e-mail/calender/contact syncing works correctly as does sending/recieving and deleting e-mails. It is only the read massages that seems to be an issue.
My phone is not rooted and is XEU model running 4.0.3 XLPS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem using email configured through Samsung sns.
I ended up using the exchange (push) option during setup. Once setup, goto menu / settings / tap your account / scroll down to "in case of conflict......" and change to "....... update to server"
Works for me.

Thank you for your suggestion UpInTheAir, i have tried this on my phone but i am still getting the same results :-( Do you have any other ideas?
I haven't used K9 email from Google Play since Froyo days on the HTC. You could check it out and see if that's working. The only other thing I can come up with is trying another firmware or custom ROM.
Ok, just rechecked myself. Seems to be intermittent!
I had some showing up as thread as well. I increased from 3 days to 1 month sync andlet it reload the app inbox, selected the first unread and refreshed my html email.worked, showing the previous unread message as read. Now I read another unread and or doesn't work. When back to 3 days sync and didn't work.
Bummer, just wonder if this is for just hotmail account or other. Will have to search XDA and Google to see about this bug, surely the question had been asked somewhere before?
Edit : tried a couple of modded email apks but no good.
Tried official Hotmail app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hotmail.Z7
Any changes to inbox seem to work and will show up on the Web inbox within a few minutes. Emptying the trash folder doesn't sync with the server though. Also don't know if it's a battery hog and causes wakelocks etc. yet.

A modded Google ICS email works prefectly.

Just got my S3 today and I am bothered by one thing so far...
The auto-capitalization feature only works on the stock messaging app.
It wont auto capitalize in any other text box besides the default messaging app, is anyone else having this problem?
It wont auto-cap for me on google searches, emails, or other texting/messaging apps (Skype, Vault, etc..)
I have also tried out the Swype beta, and it does the same thing.
Hey everyone,
I need some help. Since the Gmail app updated to the "Material Design" look, I've had an annoyance when trying to switch between my email accounts. In order to quickly switch, you can tap on the icon for the email address you wish to switch to. The problem is, two of my accounts are using the default Gmail silhouette, so I can't tell which one is which from the menu:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwgHw8RSjQikR0pfYWUyWXhxeFE/view?usp=sharing
For all three of my accounts, I have uploaded a profile picture via the general tab in Gmail settings in the browser. My personal Gmail shows my picture, no problem, but for some reason the other two don't come through. I'm not sure if it matters, but both are Google Apps for Work accounts . Also, I'm not sure if it has to do something with the sync settings, but I have them set up to sync email and app data.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks,
shingy
I've tried a couple other things and I still can't get it to work. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Wanted to bump this to see if anyone had any suggestions. I've tried several things and I can't get it to work. It is really really annoying. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
