Hi All,
I was just wondering I have been using the stock htc mail application to get my company email on my Eris. The application does not have a "all documents" view. This pretty much makes it useless to me because I use a lot of mail rules to move my email into folders as I receive it. I can see I have unread messages but I would have to comb through folders to find the actual mail.
I had this problem while working on the stock 1.56 android release that came with the phone and also with the 2.1 leak.
I was wondering if anyone has encountered this before and has come up with some sort of fix, or has a suggestion for another mail application. Also even if there was a way to show number of unread messages in the folders view that would also work.
Just one more FYI my company email comes through exchange.
Thanks!
You could try the Touchdown app. I personally did not like it, (also using Exchange) but they offer a free trial period to try it out.
Using Touchdown I am having the same issue that I had while using k-9. It pretty much does not work.
I am getting the email OTA Via an exchange server but the email is actually lotus notes based. Its a pretty crummy setup but because my office only supports blackberry it was the only OTA solution I could come up with.
Has anyone used Commontimes - Mnotes with K-9 and got it to work?
If so could you post instructions
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"
I enter my username and password under the yahoo email option in the mail app and it keeps saying I have no new messages but I know I do... Anyone else have this problem or have a manual fix?

Yahoo mail still exists???? Get Gmail if problem persists.
I had the same issue. Even when I switched to display 20 messages from any date, it would say no mail but also say x available on server. If I tapped that it would compose a new message. I haven't used the native mail app in a while so after that I said screw it and went back to K9.
yes
same problem and looking for fix, I'm going to try sending the yahoo text/yahoo mobile from my computer to my phone and see if that works
Had same problem. I skipped it, went to it later and it went through.

Help
I am having same problem. My work uses yahoo mail to post overtime. I am losing cash so I hope they solve this quick. Yahoo is what company adopted for email so switching isn't an option.

You could always use the browser until you get it fixed. Probably something to do with the server ports. I'll dig around on the Hero boards and see if I can find the settings.

I am having the same problem. I downloaded the yahoo mail app from the marketplace as a workaround.

Seriously, K9 mail. It's free in the market. It is the best mail app I've seen. And when we finally get some sort of root, you can use titanium backup to backup your data and if you switch roms or whatever use that to restore your accounts and settings instantly.
It appears to be a known issue. I cannot get my Yahoo mail to open using the stock Email app either, I can send but I cannot receive. You can use the Yahoo Mail app, that works just fine and has a nice user interface, but me, personally I prefer using the regular Mail app for all three of my email addresses. My Yahoo address is only mainly for crap. If people think using Yahoo is archaic, I use ***gasp*** *OH NO’S*** my ISP email address which is where all my important stuff goes, banking stuff and so on, and the address I give out to close friends and family. Only reason I have a Gmail account is because you’re forced to in order to use an Android phone. Hopefully a fix for this problem is in the works.
I'm surprised anyone uses anything other than gmail with an android device for personal email.
Same problem here. Started happening just yesterday for me.
A Sprint rep told me that Yahoo blocked port 25 on their servers which is causing issues across all phone platforms. He also said that Yahoo wants to start charging people for Yahoo Plus in order for it to work, but I have found no confirmation of that. As a matter of fact, I found at least one Yahoo Plus user who is also having this problem using the native mail app from another HTC phone.
I have contacted Yahoo about the issue and will post their response here when I get it. However, it does seem to be a very widespread problem.
I will be waiting for an answer because I would rather use sense for emails then the app.
glad I wasn't the only one.
same problem here. I noticed I was not getting yahoo mails today. I use mine for business, and frankly don't ever want to use another email. Yahoo has been consistent, reliable for me for over 14 years.
I downloaded and installed the Enhanced Email app on the Amazon Appstore today.. special for today only for 4.99... seems like a good program..
I did not know about K9,, I could have saved the 4.99... but I think the Enhanced email app has a lot of features I haven't started using yet.
same issue with yahoo..
set up quickly.. but no emails coming in...
and yea been using Yahoo for years.. not going to switch because gmail is android friendly lol
i want a fix too, i use gmail, hotmail, and yahoo and want them all on my phone with stock software. depends on who i am giving my email to or sending to as to which account i use

I have the new HTC Evo 3D and Yahoo mail does not work with the
native HTC Mail app. Before this phone, I had the original HTC Evo and
Yahoo worked fine with the HTC app over the course of one year that I
had that phone. I upgraded to this phone last week, and for 5 days
Yahoo was working fine on the HTC mail app, but it stopped working
yesterday. Gmail and my work email still work through the HTC mail app
and my Yahoo mail is still working on my computer, so I believe the
problem is on Yahoo's end.
Please advise if this issue had already been reported and if it is being
worked on.

I use Gmail for personal use (friends/relatives) and Yahoo for commercial use ie. Amazon, Netflix, forum addresses, etc.. Keeps my Gmail absolutely spam free and when I get a Gmail I know it is really an email I want to see and have pushed to my 3VO.
I had the Yahoo set up problem too, just got my 3VO yesterday. Finally got it to work with the standard mail app. Turned out to be a security issue on my account, and after I changed my password to a more secure one, and after I signed on to the account from my 3VO browser, I was able to set it up using the manual mode (IMAP).
Remember to remove the "htc." from the incoming and outgoing server addresses though.
Well, I searched the forums first, and the exact question I have is here, still unanswered. Hopefully this does not get me on anyone's bad side, but figured it was worth one more shot.
My question is pretty basic. I am on the HTC EVO 4G LTE, and I prefer to use the stock mail app instead of the specific gmail app, primarily because I use the "contacts" feature a lot, and like to be able to email people from that contact profile.
Whenever I send something to the trash from my EVO, it gets sorted into a label in (gmail on my desktop PC) called "IMAP/Trash". I want simply for this to go directly into my trash, and not be labeled/sorted separately. That's my whole question- is there a way to do this? With sent/trash/whatever, I'd like it not to get sorted into separate IMAP labels in gmail when I access it via my web browser.
I realize that this works seamlessly when using the gmail app on my EVO, but I'd prefer to use the generic email app. I do not see any setting which allows me to configure this on my phone, and I have tried every available option I can find in my gmail settings, but to no avail.
I would hugely enormously appreciate any help anyone might be able to give me.
Thanks in advance.
Have you looked through the settings while logged in from a browser? There may be something there to let you change where it goes.
Instead of IMAP setting, setup your gmail as exchange. Do a google search for the process. Then you'll have push email and all your folders should match. Hope this helps. Btw gmail searches my contact list? Not sure why yours can't. Good luck!

I don't know if you found an answer, but I was able to fix it by going to the desktop Gmail settings, "Labels" tab > then check the "Show in IMAP" for Sent mail, Drafts & Trash. Then removed the unwanted Labels (IMAP/Trash, IMAP/Sent & IMAP/Draft).
Simply put, trying to get my Hotmail account working on my Note has been a nightmare. I've tried every app I can find and none seem to work with anything other than POP3. The stock eMail client on ICS 4.0.4 *kinda* works with the exchange server, with the problem of having to scroll to the bottom of every single eMail and click on "Load More Details". The way it handles combined view is also clunky and awkward. This is obviously unacceptable. Is this fixed in JB? Do I need to install a custom ROM? I read that the HTC Sense-based ROMs don't have this issue. All I want is to have IMAP/Exchange access to both my Hotmail and GMail accounts smoothly running in one app, and for some reason it's damn near impossible.
Nobody knows how to get email running properly on Android? For something that is so simple on an iPhone, Google/Samsung have really dropped the ball on one of the most basic and universal requirements of a smartphone.
Have you tried maildroid?

Try K9mail. Its free. It also does IMAP too.

i just use the stock email app. the yellow one. works fine since gingerbread
Tried Maildroid. Tried K9. Hotmail will only work as POP3, I've tried every setting possible for IMAP or Exchange and it just doesn't work. Stock eMail works with Exchange but I have to scroll to the bottom of the message through all the HTML code and click "Load More Details" on every email before I can read it. Apparently this is a new safety feature in Samsung products, possibly starting (and ending?) with ICS, I'm not entirely sure, but it stinks. My only option appears to be using separate dedicated clients for Hotmail and Gmail. The grouping is also clunky with "combined view" in the stock eMail app, requiring 3 clicks and scrolling to the bottom of each message in order to read a single Hotmail message. Insane.
Can anybody verify if the "Load More Details" issue is fixed in any or all of the JB roms? This seems to be an issue isolated to newer Samsung phones running ICS and it's hard to find any info on it.

Hmmm. I don't have to scroll.to the bottom and hit load more details on mine. Get 20 - 50 emAils a day through exchange. Have you checked your settings? There is one for a size limit that my be causing your problem.
I will check and see what it is.

Here you go.

Tried that already, doesn't work. Still need to click on "load more details" for every single email. Like I said, I read somewhere that this is a new security feature and we're supposed to just deal with it. Something about how they don't want images to be autoloaded because it confirms to phishers that the email has been viewed. I'd like to know if this is also the case with custom roms, or is it just a security "feature" from Samsung? Also, exchange is not working properly, seems that even the stock email is acting as POP3. Again, this is for Hotmail, which as I understand is more complicated to configure than other services because of the limitations by Microsoft or something.
I would appreciate any input from people that have experienced this issue, especially if they found a fix. I was trying to avoid rooting my phone and flashing a custom ROM but this may just be the tipping point...
I use enhanced email. When you set up the account, enter your email address and password and select "manual setup"
On the set up screen make sure for iser name you use your email address for the server use m.hotmail.com
Just follow the rest of the setup and you will have it
It is a paid app, but ir works with no worries. I have my corporate mail, live mail and outlook.com mail set up as push and it works great.
Hope this helps
