I am testing MailDroid as an replacement mail app on my ICS SII for getting my mail from an exchange server. I am using the free version with ads -- parallel to the native mail app.
What amazes me, is the data usage of the MailDroid compared with the Exchange Services is round about 10 to 15 times higher then with the native app.
Is that normal? Does anybody has a recommendation of a exchange mail client that behaves a little more reasonable?
I haven't tried it in a very long time, but maybe the reason for high traffic is that it refreshes (re-downloads) the mail each time, rather than making the incremental changes it should?

Recommended Exchange Mail Client?
Thanks UpInTheAir. Any recommendation for an other exchange mail client?
I can not get K9 to work with our exchange server. Any hint on what I should try next would help (Touchdown?, Moxier? Others?).

I'm not sure if you're rooted, but I have used a modded exchange email app for my hotmail accounts. Fairly basic and no html, but worked with push and changes made were reflected on the server if settings are changed to "update to server in case of conflict".
Just need to remove account, clear both email and exchange data/cache in applications immediately before booting into CWM to flash zips. Will force close but don't worry. After flash, may force close again, but clear again. If still have issues, do same and reboot into CWM recovery, clear cache & dalvik & fix permissions.

I have a strange problem with the default email app. There's like 10 copies of each email, doesn't save sent emails, don't send deleted emails to Trash folder. Anyone facing the same problem? Any available solution?

How are you configuring your email? Is it a windows live account, yahoo, gmail, etc?
Is it POP3, IMAP, or Exchange?
Personally I had a problem when configuring my windows live account with the default (Exchange) method. Whenever I send an email, it gets sent twice or thrice! I worked-around this issue by using POP3, which has many shortcomings, but it solved that issue.
Windows Live Messenger (@msn.com), it was automatically configured. Do you recommend a certain configuration? Thanks!

The issue I had with duplicate emails was resolved after updating to 3.2
I have a new galaxy tab 10.1 running 3.2 and still have the issue with multiple emails going out, and items not deleting from my deleted mail.
I've tried the stock email as well as K9. I own my own domain and use my own email. I've set it up as an IMAP account. I also have a Samsung Epic and always had the same issue there too.
I really would like a fix for this. It's pretty ridiculous that 'email' is such an issue. It's not like it's a new technology.
Help..
R
I got same prob with gmail app and my google acc. on my tab (running on Overcome Rom with Pershoot Kernel)
Maybe it has something to do with coustom rom's?
Not sure it has to do with custom Rom. I'm still using stock on my galaxy tab.
My exchange email has stopped. All of a sudden it stopped syncing and gave me an error. I removed the account and then re added the account and it says couldn't open connection to server. How can I fix this and what would cause it. Please help.
I am running paranoid android rom. I wiped cache and davlaich cache as well.

What error code did it give you?
None. Just said it could not open connection to server. It just started doing this today and it wouldn't work so I removed account and now can't even add it back

Usually with those it either means there's a certificate error or the port/security settings have been changed on the server side. Can you check the settings with your server admin?
It happened on my tablet too over the weekend. I powered it up and it gives the same error code and won't connect to the server. So this isn't just a phone problem which is good. Something has to be going on for it to affect phone and tablet email. It is exchange that is not working. I use Gmail app for my emailing, but use email so it will sync my calendar etc from work

Got this too, still in Oct 2012
It doesn't look like this has been fixed since I'm still dealing with it today on my new asus tf700.
exchange
As far as I know, android can't handle exchange good. I tried to use a so called clients to syncronize between our exchange server and theese 2 apps (Exchange ExMail and Exchange by TouchDown ), but I always had an issue that after I read a mail on my phone, in my dekstop client it was still unread. I used MIUI on defy. Okay that was a year ago and I didn't tried again, but on my friends apple 3GS the exchange client works perfectly. Maybe your problem is related to android client side problems.
Probably a repost, but I didn't see it here. Anyone have the email app connected to Google apps working? Mine keeps saying cannot connect to server. I don't want to just use gmail app because its for my work email and I want to use the peak/off peak settings so I don't get notified of every work email while sitting at my work computer.

If you mean a using a gmail account in the stock email app yes i do because the stock email app allows you to embed images and no other client or app does. I have no issues with this account in stock email app.

I have the exact same issue as the OP and there are a couple of threads (somewhere?) with no resolution.
Before everyone chimes in with "My Gmail works fine" the problem is with google apps accounts. That is a google email account with your own domain that you most likely pay for or use with business accounts.
It is a really frustrating bug. You put in the correct credentials and setup works fine but upon returning to the mail screen the app just says 'Cannot connect to ACCOUNT"
One possible workaround is to use the mail app from the galaxy note or similar devices as described in a thread in the themes/apps section but you loose the peak/offpeak settings.
If anyone has any more info please chime in!

Right now I'm using IMAP and it works....but the whole point of exchange active sync was to utilize the peak and off peak settings while I'm at my desk so I don't get duplicate emails and it saves battery as well.

I am using the last Nov 12 CM10 update and I had problem connecting my exchange account with the stock email app. I tried Enhanced Mail, but it did not sync my exchange calendar. So I disabled the stock Email just to see if the EE will sync the calendar. No luck. The problem is that the stock Email app disappeared. I tried to flash new google apps, but the email still does not show on my app screen. I do not wish to do a reset for now. Is there a way to load the Email app again, and how to make it work with an exchange account. Thank you very much in advance!!!

That's where the magic power of the moderators comes in. PM one of the forum mods and they will move it to the right place.
I will take a look at my exchange settings and stuff and will try and figure out a solution for you when you thread gets moved

I know exchange works on CM10, I'm using stock right now. Gapps has nothing to do with Email so that is why it didn't work. Clear your cache and data for Email and Exchange in setting>application>all.

The problem now is that the Email app is not listed under app or in settings under apps. I loaded a app pack form recovery, but still the Email app is missing.
Any help on this? Really appreciated!

Install new nightly of cm10. Its in the package so either the install will add in back or you can pull it from the zip and push it to /system/apps and fix permissions.

Sorry for the long post.
I have a gmail account and a hotmail account. Gmail works fine but hotmail is not syncing with the phone. I can see on the web app of hormail that I have received new email but I press the sync button on the mail app and nothing happen. I verified the password and is the correct one. I was reading that it happening to some people on the s3.
Tried to delete the account on setting/accounts and it say that some apps need the hotmail account and that I need to reset the device to factory. Tried to delete the account from the email app and it shows me "delete account failed-503 service unavailable" I have been looking through the forum and cant find an answer. Is there's a way I can delete without resetting ? im stock but rooted Thanks in advance
Figured out! deleted the stock email data from titanium backup and it deleted the account. Set it up again and seems to becworking fine!
You could also clear the data on the mail app...once cleared, go back to the email app and youll run the set up all over again

When I flash new rom, I try to avoid following....
1. dirty flashing (flashing over existing rom without wiping my own ass)
-> sometimes creates problems with functionality, but not always
2. retrieving titanium backup with yellow lettered internet bookmark, all red lettered datas, and any 'Account' data.
a)For internet bookmark, retrieve green lettered one but not the yellow one. Retrieving both yellow and green ones will combine 2 same bookmarks.
b)Do not save nor retrieve any red lettered datas.
c) Do not save or retrieve any 'Account' data which is on the list among other datas(regardless of what color it is), or it may create functionality problems such as syncing your email.

I tried to delete on the mail app but it was giving me an error. Then I went to TB and wiped the data there and it worked. I was able to setup again
Hello,
I am having the same problem with my note2, only for my yahoo account. I am not familiar with the solution listed above as I don't know what Titanium backup is. I have not done anything to my Note since I got it, as far as changing ROM or anything. What is the best way to resolve this since I can't delete the account?
Thanks
Is there anyone that can help with this problem? I have a stock Note 2 and my yahoo account stopped updating out of nowhere. Now it also won't recognize my login info so I can't send messages either. I have installed the Yahoo app but prefer to use the stock email app for one stop to all my email.
Any suggestions welcome...

Try going to Settings, then Application Manager. Find the email application and clear data. Exit from the application manager and then open your email app and set up your yahoo account again.

Stanz,
Yahoo mail works better for me if I set it up manually. You can let the email app find the servers and such on its own, but that's where I've had most of my problems. If you follow the prompts in a manual set up its pretty intuitive. Delete your Yahoo account and try that.

I wasn't able to delete the accounts. It was giving me a timeout error. I went to titanium back up and wiped the data ftom the stock email. Then I setup again the email as "others"
