Hi all,
I would like to access several hotmail and gmail accounts from my phone from a single app. I tried the standard mail app, which setup great. However major problems for me are
1) It doesn't allow you to specifiy how many emails to retrieve (only their age).
2) The emails are shown in such a horrible format, and you can't alter the format of your emails.
So I tried k9 mail which has tons of features but it doesn't work well with hotmail as I have to access via pop and hence all of my folders are missing. Also there's no "email read" sync.
So can anyone advise me of an app that has the features of k9 but the compatibility of the stock app?
Many Thanks
Give K-9 Mail a try, its free on market, and works like a charm.

Surely there must be such an app??
How does the stock email app access Hotmail?
If you can't access Hotmail through imap then you won't find an app that can provide what you are searching for.

I believe it uses Microsoft Exchange and as I said, it works perfectly. However k9 has limited access through Exchange so does not work.
Surely must be an app with equivalent compatibility but extra features compared to stock app???
I don't use Hotmail myself so I can't help you there.
Search the market there are a couple of (paid) email apps, perhaps one will provide what you are looking for.

Anyone recommend a "one size fit all email app" like the iphone, for Att S2?
I'm using Exchange, yahoo, gmail. I have lots of folder in my exchange mail and the stock Mail is sux.
Moxier mail is good but only have 1 email acc. I need an app that can put all mails in one place and showing folders instead of coupel apps for emails.
Thanks
I use Gmail for all of my accounts. I set Gmail up to retrieve (pop) mail from my Yahoo account and my other email address forwards to Gmail. I have labels set up, which allows me to organize it. I've been doing this for a while and it works really well.
What about Exchange, all folder will show or i have to go settings and choose specific folder to view? it's a pain in the bu.. . I really like the way iphone's emails handle.

I've never used Exchange, but if you were able to successfully configure it for pop retrieval, it'd work just as your other email addresses, in terms of how you view them (outlined below). Otherwise, perhaps forwarding is an option. For the email address I have forwarding, I set up filters (scans incoming emails for defined rules) to apply labels (e.g., when the sender or recipient is ______, apply this label). It's something you'd have to toy around with, but I've gotten mine set up pretty well.
All emails would show in your Gmail account inbox (with labels on each one, if you've done this) and you have the ability to specifically select a label to only see mail with that label. This is something you can do online or on your device via the Gmail app (viewing individual labels). I've tried just about every email client and I've found that this method is what works best for me.
Good luck.

I was set up like this as well for quite some time - and it worked well. Recently switched to using maildroid, which I like, but haven't customized to get more functionality than I had with gMail yet...
What's wrong with the stock mail client? Seems really nice to me. Should support all of those account types and you can switch folders very easily.

Back in my Captivate days, I found the stock email client to be unreliable. Ever since then, I've been avoiding it.

The problem is with stock email. My folders didn't go in order some + subfolders.... Moxier mail gives exactly the folder in order like the outlook also display the number for new email....like the MS Outlook in computer.
I just reinstalled Moxier mail and use stock mail for yahoo, gmail also. Oh well, no choice

The stock email client is very nice and seems to work very well with Exchange. From what I've seen so far:
1) Tasks will sync
2) Folders are supported, much nicer and easier than with the Captivate
3) Flags are supported
4) Various display options such as first line preview, threaded emails, etc
5) Out of Office settings can be made from phone.
6) You can search emails on the server, not just those on your phone
7) In landscape it'll do a preview pane on the right-hand side. Not bad.
Try it, you've got nothing to lose. Seems pretty nice so far. The only thing I am missing is the ability to "check" multiple emails and take an action on a group of them (e.g., delete them all). You need to do it one-by-one. But so far it works well.
Anybody know if the stock email client can be set up for "push only" so it doesn't poll every x minutes for new mail?
Another vote for enhanced email. You can bypass exchange security rules

Enhanced Email is what youre looking for. I'm a huge Exchange user and this program easily integrates and works just like it does on iphone. You can choose which folders to keep in sync and it will notify you whenever a new message arrives in sub-folders.
The only problem I have with the stock email app is that you can't "Select All" and delete. That capability, and the ability to forward emails by clicking on several contacts and adding them , as the stock program does, are two features I really like; however, I can't find an email program that has both capabilities.

I installed Enhance email. However, it looks alike stock mail (may be I haven't explorer it much). I do like Moxier mail because it's giving me the interface just like Outlook (folder is in order same as my work laptop). Unfortunately, Moxier mail only have 1 account. Wish i can add other acc then it should be PERFECT
Hi,
I'm finding a lot of outlook apps but I don't know the difference. and I don't want to download every single one to test it. what app can read/send the outlook mails and can change the agenda?
I think K9 is generally accepted as being pretty awesome but not sure, haven't used it myself for ages.

Hi. I'm looking as well. You've found alot of apps for outlook. Where did You find them? Just tell me and I'll evaluate every one of them. This is an importent issue for me.

I reviewed the email all and went with a combination of stock features in calendar and contacts and use Maildroid for emails

Hello,
I am looking for an app that can synchronize my work mail (I access it on my PC with MS Outlook). Please tell me the name of a software that can at least do that, if not access calendars, schedules, etc.
Thanks in advance
If you even tried to setup the stock mail app it asks you for type of account. Select Exchange and enter your info. If it doesn't work your server needs to be setup to allow mobile active sync. Also depending on the policy on your server you might need to pin lock and encrypt.

K9-Mail has the option of working with Exchange accounts, and I believe it's the best mail app. Maildroid is another option, but you'll have to pay a fair bit to get access to all of its features.

Default email program allows multiple accounts, it keeps them in different folders.
Almost as complex & hard to set up as Outlook, but satisfying in the end: K9 and Kaiten. You can swap config files between the two, so you can start with the free K9.

Ditto, it works very well. I use it on both my Note 10.1 2014 and my Note II. I've had up to eleven email accounts working on it without any problem. Although it keeps mail in separate folders it also includes a unifying inbox to make it easier to keep up-to-date will all accounts, this is something I found frustrating with Outlook in that it does not include a unifying inbox, thus on my desktop PC I've now switched to Thunderbird.
Count me as a big fan of aqua mail

cloud magic is awesome
TouchDown for smartphones and tablets is the best I have ever used. It is harder to configure compared to aquamail, but once it is set up, you will be happy. I currently use aquamail for my personals, and touchdown for business (office 365 account). I highly recommend it.

I personally use CloudMagic for my email needs (1 personal Gmal, one Google Apps Gmail for school, one Hotmail, and one Yahoo). It also supports office 365 accounts, exchange, iCloud, and IMAP accounts. You have separate folders for each within the app, as well as a unified inbox option. Its really smooth and very useful, as well as looking nice too
Nine is the best Email App - just awesome https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3

Gmail Feature: Gmailify
There's a %100 chance that you already have and use Gmail on your Android phone. So I'm not going to exactly blow our mind when I tell you about this app. However there is a new feature that was announced recently that might have gone under the radar for some of you. "Gmailify" is the horribly named new feature that lets you use any Yahoo or Hotmail email address with the Gmail app and take advantage of all of your favorite Gmail features.
Now I can consolidate both my @Live and @gmail addresses in one app. The Gmail client has always been my favorite app to use for email. So I much prefer to use this than a third party client to consolidate my accounts.
To get stared just add a new account like you would normally and you'll see the option to add your @Live and @YAHOOO accounts. Check out this video that was uploaded to Google's YouTube channel.
Download Gmail
How many of you will take advantage of this feature?
Well, more years ago than I can remember I pretty much linked all of my emails to Gmail, so I've had this functionality across all platforms since then.
For as long as I can remember the android app has also let me choose which of these addresses to send from.
I'd recommend that approach tbh.
Can be done from the site. This app-feature lead me to it so that was useful. But I can read all the email accounts by anything accessing the gmail, Android and desktop applications.
Has anyone figured out how to Gmailify more than one account. I want to Gmailify both my hotmail account and my yahoo account. I can do either, but not both. Very silly limitation.

That's not gmailfying, thats just adding an account to the gmail app (which has been around for years). Gmailifying means gmail completely takes over, when you open gmail (from any device) you will have the mail from the gmailified account alongside your gmail. Adding an account the way you describe is just local on the app. What you need to do is "link" an account, not just add an account. To do this, after you add an account, go into the setting and chose link to gmail. However, if you already have 1 account linked it will tell you that you can't have another one linked. I hope this makes sense.

I have a terrible solution for your problem!
Just use 2 different users on your device, have 2 different sets of apps. With 2 different Gmailify apps, you can link both accounts separately. Will it work? Am I genius or a fool?
