Kaiten Mail = Tablet version of K-9 Mail - Anybody tried it?

From Amazon Market:
Product Description
Kaiten Mail is an advanced email client for Android. Building on the excellent open-source base provided by K-9 Mail, Kaiten offers a fresh user interface re-imagined for tablets and high-resolution phones.
Built by K-9's original developer, Kaiten is simpler, easier to work with and a whole lot prettier. Frequently used commands are now available in the application's action bar. If you have the screen real-estate, Kaiten's split-screen view lets you see a mailbox and individual messages side-by-side.

this is exactly what ive been looking for! thanks for this!
Just bought it... so far, so good. I have not tested it with Exchange yet (I never could get K-9 working on our exchange server.)
Otherwise, the email preview pane is a good fit for the Nook (CM7) and even gives it a bit of an Outlook feel.
Until either Kaiten or K9 support Exchange 2010, these are a no go.

Yeah, I can authenticate my exchange server, but no push email and I can't seem to properly pull email either.
K-9 scales pretty well on the nc, how does this compare to it?

Yeah, I went ahead and got it. Better email client than the stock CM7 email, nice tablet layout and does push all for $5. Hopefully they will get true Exchange support in the near future so that I can use one email app for all my needs that is in tablet form (using Touchdown right now - Great app, wish they'd add imap support).

Good find...much nicer than either the stock email/gmail clients. Having the split-pane is what I liked about the email client in Honeycomb, which was lost once I went to CM7. Working well for me thus far (esp like option for a "Dark" theme) and not a bad price for $5.
Thanks for the input. I have been using K-9 for over a year now. Happy to support them with $5 and it certainly is worth it on the NC.
Purchased and installed. Similar to K-9 in settings and setup. Working great for my accounts. Much better interface with split pane, especially in landscape.
I like it!
I love k9 email on my NC but it is not truly a 100% offline email app (wont cache images). I get a lot of deal emails and only have time to read them on my lenghty bus ride to work.
To do this now. I have to tether to my evo which is extremely slow and wastes most of my time I feel. I'm barely using any of my emmc space and this would be an excellent use of this.
Will this cache images in HTML emails? Would this be a difficult feature to implement? (would make it in my interest to buy the app and see if the developer could add that as an option)
Thanks guys, I'm mainly looking to make my nook more offline friendly so I don't have to rely on slow tether/mobiles data speeds.

I have heard that TouchDown for Tablets is good for Exchange:

Not sure, but you can e-mail the developer and request it.

Just downloaded it, and am luvin' it so far - especially the split pane in landscape mode. Definitely a keeper! Better than K9.

TouchDown is, however, a HORRID HORRID interface. I can't stand it. I'd rather use the browser. Seriously.

Are you sure it's by the folks who do K9 right now, or just one of the guys who used to work on it? I'm reading it as if it's one of the folks who used to work on it, ie: You're not supporting the free K9. But not that it's a big deal either way.. I might ask them about it, I hang in their channel all day anyway

Using that for Exchange and Kaiten for Gmail. Like having tablet style software, but would prefer to run one email app with the tablet layout features.
Ceger
bought it form Amazon figured with all the free daily apps, I owed them.
Seems to work well. Not sure I understand the polling/exchange setup well. I have exchange setup and there is mail in my inbox.
Is it in fact doing push? or must I manually check mail compared to touchdown which only does exchange but does push
Following up on Kaiten Mail, yes indeed, this is a commercial branch of K9 and will at some point in the future be maintained as parallel branches. I can only assume at this point that K9 and Kaiten will retain the same functionality and Kaiten will get additional work on top of that for GUI and usability.
IMO K9 is just fine as-is, it's not flashy but it doesn't have to be. That said, Kaiten does look nice on my tablet. A few bugs to work out in it (hello splitters, stay where I put you!) but otherwise it looks really nice.
Hey gang,
I'm responsible for Kaiten and indeed was also responsible for K-9 coming into existence.
To the poster who asked, no, I'm not a former K-9 developer - I'm still the project dictator
I initially branched Kaiten from K-9 as part of a project I was doing for an OEM who wanted a "commercial" tablet-style mail client for their Froyo tablets. I can't say for sure when Kaiten's features will make their way back into K-9, but they will. If you're particularly desperate to play around, the current version of the Kaiten code (without the branding and under the same Apache2 license as K-9) is in K-9's git repository in a topic branch somewhere under experimental/
Looking for an app that does Email threading by topic, specifically Exchange, although Gmail would also be nice if it has all the features of the official GMail app as well. Outlook on Windows has great threading by "Conversation"( Really Topic ), I've looked at all the Android email apps and can't believe I haven't found one that does this. It would also be great if it had tablet optimizations in the layout, but I'd settle for just the phone version on tablet if it has threading.
I settled on Enhanced Email awhile back, and that works pretty well( although not a great Tablet UI ), but doesn't seem to offer threading. Don't know if K-9 does threading as I can't seem to get it connected to my works Exchange server. If someone verifies K-9 has threading then I'll work harder to try to get it hooked into my corporate Exchange server.
Am I missing something, is there an Email app out there that does this? Seems like a no brainer feature to me, and I expected any good client to have it, but apparently not, unless I've overlooked something.

Apparently not! I've looked high and low. I am frankly amazed how few people know about email threading after all of these years. Google didn't invent it, and they don't even use the standard way of doing it (In-Reply-To header). Thunderbird does it beautifully and I live and die by threading to keep all of my email straight! Google's email even in JellyBean is pretty weak.
I have question regarding your use of the Gmail app. I am a current ios user and have purchased a Note 2. I was about to reluctantly return it and get an iphone5 (sad choice, because I loved the Note 2), but since I use my smartphones for work and use emails constantly I need a slick and easy way to sync (IMAP idle/push) four email addresses to one app.
I tried k9 and hated it. No threading/conversation view. push not responsive and def not easy to use. No server search for email. On a good day, I'll get more than 100 emails to various addresses. I sometimes need to search for a specific one. and on K9 Im stuck with only the last 25. I could increase the number of saved emails, but that takes up lots of space. Sure its powerful, but I need the basic to work quickly and easily.
Its a big change for me, moving to Android that is. and I want to make it work. Can you tell me if you can use the Gmail app (which I like), and manage, read, write to and from all my account (one Gmail, 3 domain hosted addresses)?
Thanks for you help.
I use gMail & have my main gMail account grab my home & work eMail brought into their own label (which I set up on the desktop client). Once it's setup & verified I can send from any of my email addresses from my phone.
HTH
Same problem

My friend i am going through the same problem - I was *just* about to post my thread when I saw this.
I'm not going to thread jack - but below is what I was going to send - this is particularly the same problem you are facing and more over, I dont get all my sub folders and the emails dont zoom out to the max...
The Samsung Galaxy Note II is my first android device so I would require some help from you guys. I've owned iphone 2g and iphone 4 and now I thought that android had matured enough that I should jump this droid boat. Not to mention that the note 2's s-pen is a real innovation compared to other stuff android fanboys and iphone fanboys boast about.
I'm still getting used to a lot of functions about the androids and loving every moment of it. But im not particularly here to talk about that - I need some help on one thing I rely most upon...
EMAILS
iOS - email app has ALL my mailboxes (some pushing while others fetch) including their folders and sub-folders, all nicely laid out. Also whenever I open an email on the iOS device the email is zoomed out to the max and I can zoom in to my satisfaction.
Pics:
Folders of my work email & Default (max) zoomed out email - kindly check attachment
Problem - I can not get this done on the android. The following pics are from the stock email app but I tried K9, the gmail app (doesnt support exchange) but none of them could provide me the maxed zoomed out layout of the email. Niether are folders easy to access.
Pics:
Folders of my work email (missing all subfolders of the inbox) & Default (max) zoomed out email - cant zoom out any further at all!
kindly check attachment
SOLUTION? I need to know if there is an app that could work like the iOS email app?! I really want to switch to the note 2 but I still end up carrying my iphone with me and I hate it cuz one of the major reasons to switch to android and note 2 was the productivity, and yet I still end up relying on the iphone...

Hi,
a friend of mine bought a few days ago a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" to manage his clients (he's a doctor).
He started to build his contact library (he doesn't have an android phone and no gmail contacts) adding name, surname, eventually mail and phone number and in the "Note" field he wrote all the note he'd taken. BUT this field has a characters' limit, and he can't add even a letter anymore (for the most visited client of course).
I tried to search for an app for this purpose but I can't find anything. I don't even search ONLY an app, it can be enough another method using the in-build feature of the tablet and android.
I searched for some CRM app, but most of them are ugly (since it's not a power user the more simple and clean is the better) and not optimized for a tablet. I found Insightly, but it's only online, and if he does'nt have a wifi network around he can't, not only record the new data, but also access to the old ones! They MUST be always available.
I thought about a simple folder + text file in G Drive, but these are only online too. Dropbox, too.
If it can interact with the G Mail contacts (the Note field is very useful at this) it would be wonderful, otherwise he'll build up his library with his contacts.
How can I do to have these data always on the tablet (cloud sync is not absolutely necessary)??? Any idea for an app or an alternative method?
Thanks!
nobody??
He bought a tablet to use for work, without any idea on how he would use it for work or if it would even do what he wanted? If he throws money around like that, why not recommend him to get an app written for his company and it's needs. There are many app developers who design and write custom apps for clients.
Hey there
Hope I'm not being too daft here, I just got my ex girlfriend's Lumia 800 as my Galaxy S2 died and I don't see any new phone I want to buy on the market today.
I really like this phone, and the W7 interface is by far the slickest I've seen.
One thing I'm having trouble with is the email app which doesn't discriminate between "Primary", "Social", "Promotions", "Updates", and "Forums" labels in GMail.
This is pretty important to me, as I get a lot of email in non-critical labels, and I'd prefer my phone mail app to focus on the "Primary" label as I'm accustomed to with the GMail app on Android.
I know Google aren't making a GMail app for Windows Phone (yet), and it seems the "MetroMail" app which might help is only for Windows Phone 8...?
Are you guys using anything that allows you to focus on the Primary label in GMail, and if so, what?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
