HI,
i am using htc SXL and wondering which one of the above is the best (quick) one to receive emails? (push email).
thanks,
You can google the differences between POP3 and IMAP.
Basically POP3 will delete messages from the server once they are downloaded to your device where as IMAP will keep them on the server but mark them read. Only if you delete them youself will they be removed from the server. So if you also read your email on another computer/device and want to see all your messages new and old, IMAP is the better choice.
Exchange works similar to IMAP as far as mail goes but also allows you to sync calendars as well. I use a calendar for work in Outlook via an Exchange server and it syncs nicely with the Android calendar app.

does this program do auto sync with exchange and gmail, and if yes, how do i set it yes (its not on the list of folder poll check frequnncy)
thanks for the help.
if anyone can think of an email client that can auto sync gmail and exchange, and has a desktop widget that works with it, please share
thank you
Does not do exchange ActiveSync. This would be the holy grail of email apps if it did ActiveSync.

IMAP has Push and Poll, POP only has Poll, not sure about Exchange. K9 does exchange, I assume if there's no options it defaults to Push but you might ask them in their own forums.
Widget, no..
Hello guys,
I installed K9 on my Android ICS on i9100, setup an Yahoo account and didn't found any way to make it Push my email, on Pull/poll at specified intervals (1, 5 ,10min, etc).
I'm looking under Account Settings/Fetching email and the only setting related is "Folder poll frequency".
Am I doing something wrong because the k9 Market page says "K-9 Mail is an open-source e-mail client with search, IMAP push email, multi-folder sync, flagging, filing, signatures, bcc-self, PGP, mail on SD & more!"
My yahoo account has an IMAP server setup, not POP so we can exclude this incompatibility.
As a default behavior, k9 only doesn't have a polling interval setup, I have to manually check for new email.
So, does Push email works on k9 email client?
I've had IMAP push working on K9, although not with a Yahoo email account.
IMAP Push relies on the IMAP server you connect to support the IDLE extension. AOL Mail does, gmail does, but Yahoo does not.
Hi all.
I am looking for a solution with Exchange.
What do I need: to have XPOutlook emails synchronized in WMInbox(offline messages via ActiveSync) AND access to Exchange server simultaneously(new/online/not synchronized yet with XPOutlook messages). There is a problem,when I synchronize Exchange and XPOutlook,all messaes are moved from Exchange to XPOutlook,so when I setup Exchange access in PDA,I see just new unread emails,if I synchronize XPOutlook via ActiveSync with PDA,I see each other messages. I do need both of them in my PDA.
As I found,I could have either Outlook or Exchange folder in WMInbox,but not these both together. So I got an idea,to synchronize WMInbox with XPOutlook and for Exchange access to use an external app.for WM. So the question is,if there exist something like this,or how to have both accounts in WMInbox?
How is your Outlook connected to Exchange? Messages should be present on both locations, not either.
Outlook downloads all new emails from exchange,emails are collected in PC side pst and afterwards they are deleted from exchange.
Is that what you want (or what the admin forced on you)? Are you using a POP3 connection? If you are using an Exchange connection (MAPI), then your local mail store is in sync with the Exchange online store.
What's the Exchange version and what's your Outlook version?
Outlook is v2007,others I don't know,but I think,the company is mostly up to date. Problem is,that I cannot do anything with Exchange. Well,no POP3 nor IMAP protocol is used.
Good Morning,
I currently have several email accounts set up with K9 email but I seem to have a bit of an issue here and there.
I have;
Two Hotmail accounts ; I am receiving emails that come to the Hotmail addresses into both my hotmail account AND into the K9 accounts on my droid. NO ISSUES.
then
One Gmail account which is my business email. I have my @gmail.com configured to forward to my @.customdomain.com. I am receiving all emails sent by people to my K9 account on my Droid but it does not arrive into my outlook . When I send an email to my @custom.domain.com account from my own outlook package, it does arrive back in my outlook inbox . So gmail seems to be routing my own outlook mail ok but not anything coming from third parties via gmail.
I am guessing it is a simple setting but where ? I have all the "delete from server" etc UNCHECKED in the account settings ....
Can anyone shed a light with what info I have given >??
thanks very much
Ok may be when k9 gets updated it sets email as already poped or read to your domain that's why outlook doesn't retrieve them. But when you send them through outlook may be due to internal routing it comes to your inbox and not through server. Try this deconfigure your k9 and see if it pops in outlook or set outlook to retrieve all mail read unread deleted poped. I don't know how.

I am new to Android and coming from a Blackberry. How can I sync the emails in outlook with my new phone? I don't have an exchange server and I would prefer to do it with the mail app that came with the phone. I would like the emails to delete from outlook when I delete them on the phone and show as read when I read them on the phone and vice versa. I would prefer not to have the emails and information sent into the "cloud" also if that is possible, but if it is the only way so be it.
I know that I can have the two different email addresses sent to my phone through the included mail app by setting them up separately, but would the emails show as read, deleted, etc in outlook if I did that?
If it makes a difference I have two email addresses that feed into outlook. One of them is pop and one is imap. The phone is an HTC Amaze.
Could I just convert my pop email to imap and set up the two email addresses separately on my phone? Wouldn't that make it so when I delete email from outlook or the phone, it will be deleted on the other?
The problem with this is my isp does not offer imap so I will have to use google email to sync with it and make it imap.
If I do this I will have to add the gmail account to outlook and my phone, but wouldn't I have to delete the pop account from outlook and the phone in order to avoid duplicate emails showing up? I think this might happen because right now if I check the pop account without using outlook the emails show up that were received after I last opened outlook. The issue with deleting the pop account from outlook and phone is I still want to be able to send emails from that address.
Good morning all,
I am looking to setup my yahoo mail via active sync again but after lots of research I cannot seem to be able to find the server name required. For example hotmail is m.hotmail.com
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Are you 100% sure Yahoo are using Microsoft Exchange I would have thought their use something like pop3 or IMAP?
Well i had the others set that way and had a feeling yahoo was too
Yahoo does not use the activesync protocol. Instead, use its imap settings.
Alternatively, you can download the Yahoo app for push mail and contact integration.
