Hi all,
I can't really believe that there is no email app for android that allows simple and easy copy (move) of emails between two IMAP accounts ?? On the iphone that's a built-in feature. I tried all ROMs here and it seems they all use the AOSP email.apk which does not support moving across accounts, only to and fom folders within the same account.
EXAMPLE:
I have one personal and one business account, both on the same IMAP server but with different email addresses and credentials, obviously. So now I get an email in my personal inbox that I want to "sort" into a subfolder of the business account.
Which email client can do that? I tried pretty much every single email app in the play store, not even the goot ones like Kaiten, Maildroid or Inomail can do it
What now? I can't believe my iPhone->Android transition is being held up by something this basic ?!
Wow, no one has this problem? Is it just so uncommon to have two IMAP accounts?

Forward both accounts to Gmail and write rules to filter to different folders?

Yes I know that's a bootleg workaround but I need "real" imap access, so I can move messages from one account to the other.

I need to transfer email between Exchange and IMAP. I'm assuming I'm going to have the same problem you are? So I shouldn't waste my time downloading all the email apps on the Market to try them?

Well, it can be done. And I did it back in 2010 when I had my captivate and moved from yahoo imap to gmail. I am not positive about this, but I think I used K9.
I had the paid imap on yahoo, added both accounts to the client I was using. I tried several before I got it to work. I believe it was K9 because I also used PGP for encryption.
It is free, so give it a try. I apologize for not being 100% positive. I'm now retired and just use good ole Gmail

I am facing the same problem using K9. I can not see imap folders other than the same account I am copying from. Any other app solving this problem or the settings to do it with K9?

I have the same problem and can't believe after all these years there is no solution! This is the biggest obstacle I have to being productive on my smartphone. Still no solution?

Hello,
I only have one email account set up to sync email. It is my MS Exchange account. I have it set for push.
Yet for some reason the icon on my home screen is almost always showing an incorrect number of new messages. If I open up outlook - then it seems to sync - not always synced even during key work hours - 8-8 (when I have it set for push).
I'm not sure if this is a glitch with the 3D or android something I'm doing wrong or if there is a work around. I know 3 other people with the 3D and they all have the same issue.
I'm new to android so I'll give you what info I think might be important.
I have both background and autosync checked.
I have mail, contacts, calendar, update when opened checked. I have update schedule set for push between 8-8 every day.
I tried making both peak and off hours push - unfortunately that doesn't help either.
Weird, I've been using my gmail account on exchange (I like the HTC Mail application better than the gmail one) and have yet to have any issues. Hope you get it resolved since my gmail is working fine though I'm thinking it might be something on the ms exchange server's end.

You use your gmail account on exchange? You forward your gmail email to microsoft exchange? Then have your business exchange server forwad to the 3D instead of just going direct from gmail to your 3D mail app?
I have multiple email accounts, most are gmail. I chose to access them through exchange because that allows me to use HTC mail, which has a unified mail box.
Regarding your initial problem, how many aspects of your email account are you syncing. For example, is it Inbox only or do you also sync outbox, sent, trash, deleted, etc. If you do the latter, I have noticed that the new mail count is off, because the app, after initial set up at least, will count mail synced in other folders that have at, some point be marked unread.
Going through the various folders and marking everything as read fixed the problem for me.
Hope this helps.

I am confused by those saying you are using exchange - I'm talking about using an MS Exchange SERVER. Are you sending your gmail to a microsoft exchange SERVER? I'm not talking about a gmail server or hotmail server but an actual server set up for a company that runs Microsoft Exchange. A server that when you access it from the web it says Microsoft Outlook Web Access or Microsoft Web App- Connected to Microsoft Exchange
I have only one email account I'm syncing which is on an MS exchange server. The only folders I sync are inbox and sent items. The only unread mail items I'll ever have on the server are items in my inbox. I'd like to have the icont on the home screen for mail messages show me the number of unread messages I have which are on an MS exchange email server (not forwarded from gmail or hotmail). I know other people using exchange servers that also have the incorrect number of items showing on their EVO 3D. My guess is people using gmail (direct from gmail servers) won't have this issue so I'm asking people who use MS Exchange servers. WM devices, WP7 devices and iphones from the same exchange servers show the correct number of messages.
i think it has something to do with the number of days you sync.
in outlook, mark all of your email as read (if you can do this).
hit refresh on your phone. it should say 0 unread for both.
from here you can figure out what is going on.
Thanks, I should be clear. It can be temporarily correct. FOr example if I open email on the phone and it syncs, and I open emails etc and go back to the home page and it shows no new messages which is correct.
But if I get a new email, then I open it on my computer and delete it. Hours later it will still show 1 new message on my home screen on the phone. I'd expect that sort of half assed issue if I was using pop but this appears to be something not implemented with sense or android.
That is normal for Android. Your phone notification will still show that you haven't read the e-mail from Exchange until you open e-mail on the phone and it refreshes. Annoying, I know, but it's like the notification function just isn't integrated as well as it should be.

Ok, first off, I don't have a 3D. I've got a Sensation on Tmo but I think they're pretty much the same phone.
I also had a few glitches when I tried out the Android Exchange client. But mainly I didn't like the draconian way it implemented my company's security policies and I said "screw it". I found a different client called Touchdown and gave it a whirl. I liked it so eventually I bought it. I'm not used to paying quite that much for an app when most of the others I use are cheap or free. But I use it a *lot* and it works very well. It's *much* better than the Android client imho.

Thanks for letting me know this is normal for Android. I hope they fix it as it is one of my ONLY major issue with Android. This is my first Android phone and I like Android a lot. The phone as a phone sucks but that isn't Android's fault.
I've done a search and couldnt find anything, so forgive if this is a repost.
I can't seem to figure out how to save an email attachment to the SD card. I am getting KML emails from geocaching.com and when i click on the file, i get the "unable to open the file" error, which is fine. I just want to save it to a folder i made on the SD card for my geocaching program.
I don't use stock email. I use k9 mail. Are you pressing and holding on attachment until a menu pops up? If the stock mail isn't working I suggest k9 mail from the market.

Ditto on K9 Mail... great app. Have 3 POP accounts and 1 IMAP accounts with it.

Same here.
I used to use K9 also, but I find it completely unnecessary in the Rezound and get faster mail updates with the stock email on push.
Is k9 really that good? Seems like everyone uses it now, I personally like the stock mail app from HTC.

I use the paid version kaiten. Mail and it does work very well, best email app I've used yet.
Does stock email have access to folders? I need to be able to acres them which kaiten mail does.

As an email administrator, I need access to a number of email systems. I use Touchdown for exchange email access, gmail for my primary gmail account and k9 for a variety of other pop and imap accounts, including a few gmail accounts since the gmail app is so poor at handling notification email.
In the past the default email apps have not been consistent enough. I have not even tried the default email app on the Rezound yet as I just moved my profiles over from my Dinc when I got it with the email tools I have been already using for years.
K9 works well with a lot of email systems and has the ability to use multiple identities for combined inbound email accounts so you don't have to setup multiple mailboxes.
Hello guys,
I have a common quesiton about synchronising my gmail and Exchange (work) account with my HTC Desire HD Android Version 2.3.5
At the moment I synchronise my gmail accoutn with mail, calender, tasks and phone directory.
For future use I want to synchronise with Exchange from work, even the same functions like gmail.
For gmail I use the given gmail-mail program which is implemented with Android.
For Exchange I'd like to use the "Mail" function which is also a standard tool from Android.
My question:
1. I've seen that there is the possibility to show or not show different calenders, phone books etc. When I creat the Exchange additionally to the gmail account, is there a complete new calender built with the Exchange rules or does it use my gmail calender? The same for phone directory.
I want to avoid that the two accounts will be fully mashed in the future. So, if I quit my workplace I want to delete the Exchange account and all work information will be lost but not my personal gmail account, settings and personal data like calender, phone directory etc.
2. Is the Exchange completely separated to the gmail account?
I'm a littel bit frightend to configure the Exchange accoutn because I don' want to mix up the two accounts.
I hope I wrote it in a understandable way and not redundant to an existing article.
Thanks a lot and regards
The email app and the gmail app are different, are independent one of the other. You'll have no problem, nor with the contacts.

Greets all,
Was wondering if anyone might have this issue. I setup my phone to grab my emails, I set it up as an IMAP so that this way I could get the emails but keep it on the server, so this way I can download it on my computer into outlook later on. Up until the One max, I never had an issue and always set it up the same way, I recently just noticed that after I read a email and if I delete it from the phone it seems to delete it off the server as well. I tested this out by sending myself an email and then deleting it, then going into outlook to receive the email but it wasnt there. If I got into the server its in the deleted folder and not in the inbox as it should be.
Anyone else notice this?
Well I just tried something else, I just set it up as a POP account, and it works as IMAP, Hmmm I wonder if they messed up and named them wrong, where Imap is suppose to be pop and pop is suppose to be IMAP.
Still curious to see others responses.
When i click Add account, it shows Other(POP/IMAP)
Screen shot attached for your reference, what do you get?
Same thing except I dont have Gmail or Yahoo in the list, just the other three, but thats not where the problem is, its after you pick Other/pop3. Long story short: I have my own email, I set it up through aol a long time ago when they were giving away domain names for free, then they dropped it and I had to get it registered through another place to keep it, but I still can use aol's mail settings in outlook to get me mail. The problem is I can see the email on aol's site, and download it to my outlook, but the first way I set it up on the phone I would see it on the phone and then delete it, when I go into outlook it would say no mail, but if I went to aol's site and looked in the trash it was in there where its not suppose to be, its suppose to be in the inbox to be downloaded to my outlook. But when I changed the setting to pop setting, it is working as Imap should.

Ah okay, i got your problem... i don't know why imagined that you PC was missing IMAP, but was that not the IMAP was supposed to work..., 2 way communication = IMAP
POP vs IMAP
If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.

Okay you missed the whole point here. When I chose IMAP with my email on my phone, and then delete it from the inbox (select and hit trash can) its suppose to delete from the phone inbox, but should show up as new in my outlook 2010 on my pc as new. It doesnt show up at all. If I go to a web browser and login into my email, its in my trash folder and not in my inbox as it should be.
Now if I change the setting on the phone FROM IMAP to POP, THEN is works correctly as IMAP.
they way i have always thought of imap to work is , as the other poster mentioned: 2 way communication.
if i delete mail on the phone (imap), then on my web based email, that same email will be deleted there.
if i move an email from , say, inbox to some other folder on my phone, then on the server it too will get moved there.
this is how imap is supposed to work? at least that is how it has worked for me over the years...
i have 4 email accounts on my own email server. i use gmail to fetch that mail and i also use my web based interface to access it. the mail is synced everywhere its supposed to be.
i have the all set to imap, not pop.

me too... yes that's how IMAP works, i am guessing OP has some little confusion on it..
I do understand this, but coming from a samsung galaxy note, this wasnt the case. On computers it did work this way, but every phone I've had and including the Note did not work this way, this is the first time its functioning this way, which I thought was odd.
I've been reading about the core apps in development and have some questions about the Email Client (which I understand is a port of Trojita).
In reading about Trojita itself, it is exclusively an IMAP client. The developer's page s clear that it ISN'T a POP3 client. I know that my situation isn't unique, and my situation is this:
* 5 email accounts that I need to use POP3 for
* 1 email account that I need to use IMAP for
So what will be the solution for those who want to aggregate all their email accounts into one app, when they aren't all IMAP accounts?
Thanks,
Steve

Gmail is available and I believe it can consolidate POP3 and IMAP accounts at the server level. You could setup a separate Gmail account just to do that.
ramjet73
That's right. Trojita only supports IMAP. (Btw, if you want to give it a try, download Dekko from the Ubuntu Store which is a development snapshot of one of the developers. Trojita itself isn't available throught the store yet.)
