I'm running on CF-Root + Siyah 1.2.6 kernel + stock ROM (+ modified NFC_screen off). ROM is XXLE8.
I've been using the stock email since the begining (with only root & stock rom) with 3 Exchange accounts synced.
Email app is taking forever to launch. Navigation in email app is laggy.
Whenever I want to move emails to subfolders, it takes ages to get the whole list.
I'm still running a Samsung Captivate Glide (Rogers ROM, root, OC @1.3GHz) with Android 2.3.5 : email stock app synced with these 3 exhange email accounts: it is clearly faster, no latency at all.
Even when it comes to load the same subfolders to move emails ...
Right now, it is really the worse "email user experience" I had.
Thought ICS would do better than that. :-(
Anybody else experiencing this ?
Is there any tweaks to make this app much, much faster ...
Is there a way to replace this "Samsung stock email app" (I guess) with the standard ICS one (only if it is faster) ?
Thanks
i have noticed none of the problems you experied with the email app. though i am only using it with one account synced. The app launches instandly and never lags or something similar, try removing 2 of your accounts and see if the problem is still there. its the only thing i can think of now, if the problem persists maybe another app you installed interferes with the email app and causes problems or...?

I removed one account ...same. Slow as "usual".
I remoed 2 accounts (only one left) ... same.
I wiped the whole device. Reset to factory defaults.
Loaded one Exchange account: email app was definitely faster.
Added a second one (Exchange) ... started to get slow ... Not as slow as it was, but slower.
Found a thread mentionning a way to replace Samsung stock email app with ICS email app. Going to try that...
Same very annoying problem here.
Any chance to get the stock nexus email apk here?

Hi,
I am trying to delete emails from my IMAP account an my SGSII (Samsung stock emailing programm).
Now my problem is that all emails I delete once just reappear the next time I sync with my IMAP account. So its simply impossible to delete emails on my phone.
This problem also exists on the GalaxyTab as far as I know.
Hotmail works fine(but hotmail doesnt use IMAP as far as I know).
One simple solution would be to just not use the samsung emailing program. I tried K9 today, but I kinda dont like the fact that it doesnt come with an widget. I also like the stock program better.
Any clue what I am doing wrong?
its also not possible to open most attachments directly from inside the emailing application(.pdf,.jpg etc.).
It does work occationally but must of the time it doesnt.
Solved:
Not using Polaris Office did the trick for me.

How did you resolve the IMAP email problem? I'm experiencing the same behaviour. Gmail IMAP works fine (with the stock email client, not the stock Gmail client). However, my work email which is IMAP doesn't work correctly.
I simply stopped using the stock program.
And now I kinda started to love K9.
But K9 didn't get along with my hotmail account(it has no IMAP;always redownloaded old emails;I had a data usage of 200mb in one day^^) so I started to auto. redirect all my mails to gmail. That works flawless til now.
oh man, same here!
I use the same settings on Nexus One, V880 or even Ipod Touch, both works except SG2! any clue yet?
No I didnt find no solution.
I am happy with K9 now .

Apparently using POP instead of IMAP, you have the option to delete from the server... Of course IMAP is supposed to do this anyway, but worth considering POP - especially if the other advantages of IMAP are of no interest to you.
Personally, folder synchronisation means nothing if it can't even sync deleted emails...
I tried to chase this up with Samsung support, but of course they're useless... It's obviously a software bug, but they suggested a reflash and then trip to the service centre if that doesn't fix it...
We all know a trip to the service centre will certainly not fix it if a reflash wont...
Curiously, I've got a VHA ROM on my phone, and wondering what everyone else has, presuming it might be an issue in the branded ROM, but not in the generic ROM...
I'm sure I'm not the only one who cares, but I did a little bit of research, and although it doesn't seem to help, there's setting the IMAP path prefix (usually 'INBOX'), which should direct deleted emails into INBOX.Trash as opposed to the android Trash folder, and therefore delete them off the server.
Sadly, trying 20 variations, I still couldn't get it to work... but it might work with your email provider (just didn't with mine)
If all else fails, and you really want to use the Samsung email app (which I do, since K9 does not have activesync Exchange support - only the other one, which doesn't help me), instead of deleting emails, just go: Menu/Move to Folder/INBOX.Trash - this is the same as what Delete should be doing...
Hope that helps somewhat...
same issue: any solution found yet?
Hey all,
I recently upgraded to ICS on my samsung galaxy SII using KIES. Since the update i cannot get the stock e-mail client to show my hotmail e-mails as read on other devices.
For example, when on GB if i read an e-mail on the phone while i was out, and then checked my e-mail on my computer when i got back home. The e-mail would show as read on both devices.
But since ICS the e-mail only shows as read on the phone, is there any way to change the settings so that it works the same as it did on GB?
All other e-mail/calender/contact syncing works correctly as does sending/recieving and deleting e-mails. It is only the read massages that seems to be an issue.
My phone is not rooted and is XEU model running 4.0.3 XLPS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem using email configured through Samsung sns.
I ended up using the exchange (push) option during setup. Once setup, goto menu / settings / tap your account / scroll down to "in case of conflict......" and change to "....... update to server"
Works for me.

Thank you for your suggestion UpInTheAir, i have tried this on my phone but i am still getting the same results :-( Do you have any other ideas?
I haven't used K9 email from Google Play since Froyo days on the HTC. You could check it out and see if that's working. The only other thing I can come up with is trying another firmware or custom ROM.
Ok, just rechecked myself. Seems to be intermittent!
I had some showing up as thread as well. I increased from 3 days to 1 month sync andlet it reload the app inbox, selected the first unread and refreshed my html email.worked, showing the previous unread message as read. Now I read another unread and or doesn't work. When back to 3 days sync and didn't work.
Bummer, just wonder if this is for just hotmail account or other. Will have to search XDA and Google to see about this bug, surely the question had been asked somewhere before?
Edit : tried a couple of modded email apks but no good.
Tried official Hotmail app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hotmail.Z7
Any changes to inbox seem to work and will show up on the Web inbox within a few minutes. Emptying the trash folder doesn't sync with the server though. Also don't know if it's a battery hog and causes wakelocks etc. yet.

Hey guys,
I just upgraded from my S2 to an international S3 running on stock ICS 4.0.4 and I seem to have a problem that I can't quite fix.
My contacts app is linked to my gmail and syncs some not all of the contacts with facebook. All in all i don't really have a lot of contacts on the phone. However, most of the time when i open the contact app, there seems to be a 3-5 second lag before that app actually loads, and also a 1-2 second lag whenever i try to scroll with the letters on the right side.
Anyone else having this issue? Is there a way to fix this lag? It's not a deal breaker but it is annoying to have to wait every time i need to check out a contact.
Thanks for the help guys!!

It does it when you have facebook, exchange, google account, samsung account linked to the contacts app. Unlink and try in the app
when I using stock rom 4.0.4, my SGS3 is laggy when I open contact too (my total contact is about 750 contact). When I using custom firmware, that "lag problem" is dissapear..

i have same problem although i have around 70 contacts and when i press contacts it has lag of about 3 to 4 seconds before opening ! any help
I removed most linked accounts from the contact app, and there seems to be an improvement in how fast the app opens.
It's now linked to google (because all my contacts are on gmail), skype and whatsapp. There's still however a bit of lag when trying to scroll using the letters on the right hand side.
Still hoping theres a fix coming soon for this.
Simply put, trying to get my Hotmail account working on my Note has been a nightmare. I've tried every app I can find and none seem to work with anything other than POP3. The stock eMail client on ICS 4.0.4 *kinda* works with the exchange server, with the problem of having to scroll to the bottom of every single eMail and click on "Load More Details". The way it handles combined view is also clunky and awkward. This is obviously unacceptable. Is this fixed in JB? Do I need to install a custom ROM? I read that the HTC Sense-based ROMs don't have this issue. All I want is to have IMAP/Exchange access to both my Hotmail and GMail accounts smoothly running in one app, and for some reason it's damn near impossible.
Nobody knows how to get email running properly on Android? For something that is so simple on an iPhone, Google/Samsung have really dropped the ball on one of the most basic and universal requirements of a smartphone.
Have you tried maildroid?

Try K9mail. Its free. It also does IMAP too.

i just use the stock email app. the yellow one. works fine since gingerbread
Tried Maildroid. Tried K9. Hotmail will only work as POP3, I've tried every setting possible for IMAP or Exchange and it just doesn't work. Stock eMail works with Exchange but I have to scroll to the bottom of the message through all the HTML code and click "Load More Details" on every email before I can read it. Apparently this is a new safety feature in Samsung products, possibly starting (and ending?) with ICS, I'm not entirely sure, but it stinks. My only option appears to be using separate dedicated clients for Hotmail and Gmail. The grouping is also clunky with "combined view" in the stock eMail app, requiring 3 clicks and scrolling to the bottom of each message in order to read a single Hotmail message. Insane.
Can anybody verify if the "Load More Details" issue is fixed in any or all of the JB roms? This seems to be an issue isolated to newer Samsung phones running ICS and it's hard to find any info on it.

Hmmm. I don't have to scroll.to the bottom and hit load more details on mine. Get 20 - 50 emAils a day through exchange. Have you checked your settings? There is one for a size limit that my be causing your problem.
I will check and see what it is.

Here you go.

Tried that already, doesn't work. Still need to click on "load more details" for every single email. Like I said, I read somewhere that this is a new security feature and we're supposed to just deal with it. Something about how they don't want images to be autoloaded because it confirms to phishers that the email has been viewed. I'd like to know if this is also the case with custom roms, or is it just a security "feature" from Samsung? Also, exchange is not working properly, seems that even the stock email is acting as POP3. Again, this is for Hotmail, which as I understand is more complicated to configure than other services because of the limitations by Microsoft or something.
I would appreciate any input from people that have experienced this issue, especially if they found a fix. I was trying to avoid rooting my phone and flashing a custom ROM but this may just be the tipping point...
I use enhanced email. When you set up the account, enter your email address and password and select "manual setup"
On the set up screen make sure for iser name you use your email address for the server use m.hotmail.com
Just follow the rest of the setup and you will have it
It is a paid app, but ir works with no worries. I have my corporate mail, live mail and outlook.com mail set up as push and it works great.
Hope this helps

Hello.
Since this morning I started to experience a strange issue. It seems like my gmail is synced only one way.
I have Nexus 5 running Cyanogenmod 11 M3, Android 4.4.2.
If there is a new email sent to my gmail account, I get proper notification and I see the mail. I then go and delete that email (or mark it as read). My inbox does not have this email anymore. I refresh the mail, make sure everything is synced. Now if I open web gui of gmail on my computer, I still see that email there unread. If I go back to phone gmail, I don't see that email in my Inbox (or sometimes I do), but I can see it in priority mail box or under "all mail". It seems that whatever change I do on phone client is not properly synced back to server.
The same issue manifests also on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, running CM 10.2. It does not happen on my very old HTC Desire Z, running CM4.
I have not changed anything, it started to happen this morning. Any change done through computer web client is synced correctly. I have no idea what is going on. Does Gmail service have some issue? Anyone else experiencing it?
Thanks.
I think the first thing to clarify is whether or not you're using the native GMail app or have set up GMail through and alternative e-mail app (i.e.: Enhanced E-mail).

The camera issue is among known problems with CM11 and since CM11 stable was not released yet, it is ok. I am sure that stable version will have this problem resolved.
Clear data for gmail. Settings > Apps > Gmail. You will not lose any settings, it will just delete your email from the phone and re-sync.

Thanks for the suggestion, the issue resolved itself today on both phones. I guess there was some problem on Google side.
