Hi all,
I currently have a problem with font size of email signatures. Is there any way of changing the font size of the signature in the native email app either through conventional means or some hack?
I've trolled through the menus as well as many blogs and forums and have come to the conclusion that that setting isnt possible through the normal menus.
I use the native email app for business and it doesnt look very profession when your signature is not the same size as the rest of the email.
Any solution would be great.
I have the exact same problem. Appreciate any help.
Thanks OP for raising this.

Anybody knows an answer to this yet? It is ridicilous that there seems to be no way to adjust the signature.............
Workaround
Ok, no news on this subject, so I just installed a third party app called K-9 mail from market.
It workes with a self adjustable sig and has a lot of other features and it is free.
So, as far as Samsung does not support font sizes on it's sig, here you go..............

I am re-posting this from another user on a different forum. He/She wrote exactly what I wanted to say so why change it?
The major shortfall of Android ICS is the inability to handle standard Internet Calendar Sharing (ICS) meeting requests (calendar invitations) sent via email.
Every other platform in the world seems able to handle a meeting invitation sent from a calendar application, whether that is from Microsoft Outlook (worldwide standard in the business world), an iCal file from an Apple device. The web-based version of gmail correctly handles calendar invites and prompts one to respond with a "Yes/No/Maybe" reply.
The native Android gmail app shows either just a blank email or sometimes the text details of a meeting invite. There is no ability to respond to the meeting request. Instead, Android places the item on the Calendar and expects the user to respond to it there. The problem with this approach is the one needs to know where to look on the calendar.
A Google search shows that this has been a known issue for years, yet Google does nothing about it.
Short of ditching the native gmail app for a functional third-party app, how can one enable gmail to handle meeting requests the way every other email application does?

What I want to know is how a black and white screen BlackBerry from the stone ages can read and reply to meeting requests yet my dual-core, multitasking juggernaut of a phone can't preform this simple function. How on earth can Android/Google turn off business users like this??? I am aware that some 3rd party apps on Android do provide this function but they all require you to connect to an exchange server! W T F Google??????

What email app?
dunno what's wrong with my ics but its working fine here, im getting invitation popups and i can respond yes/no/maybe. it seems though that the mail itself is rawtext if you open it, but the invitation will be triggered when the time is proper.

Not sure what caused your issues. I've had invites and responded from the following without problems:
1. Lotus Domino
2. MS Exchange
My systems:
1. Plain Gmail and Gmail calendar (for personal stuffs).
2. Google Apps Gmail and Google Apps Calendar (for business stuffs).
Hope that helps.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Are you saying that in the Android phone's gmail app you get meeting request emails and have the YES/NO/MAYBE buttons available? If YES are you using and ms exchange server? If NO, did the person send the request from a gmail email address?
Invitation Plugin
Check if Invitation Plugin application can solve your issue. It opens ics invites in default calendar where you can accept/decline event.
You can get this app on Google Play:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleansoft.invitationplugin
For it to work you need to enable 'Automatically add invitations to my calendar' setting in Google Calendar
support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=83117
It requires Android 4.0+ (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I'm using the native Email client in CM9 with Exchange and was wondering if there was any way to enable notification when an email arrives in a subfolder. From my searching, it looks like Google has disregarded this feature request. This is rather strange as the Gmail client allows notifications for subfolders.
I know that Touchdown and Enhanced Email support subfolder notifications but I would prefer to use the native client if possible.
Do the CM guys touch the Email APK at all or just bundle it 'as is' from ICS source? I guess I could dust off old skills and start hacking the source myself...
All in all, I'm very happy with CM9. The notification bit is just a tad annoying.
Cheers!

This has been a major gripe from me over the past year or so. Every other phone OS manufacturer has this feature built in except for Android. It's not like this is something that only a few people would use. I have rules like crazy for my work email and hate the fact that I have to run 2 different email setups to get everything to work right.
Stock app doesn't do sub-folder replications
Enhanced Email screws up big time on contact creation.
So I'm stuck setting up the stock app to just pull my contacts while using EE to pull subfolder emails notifications.

I have one folder in particular I need to monitor (autonomous alarm emails from network elements). I tried using the Email widget but there is an issue with that not updating. Bleh. I guess I'm kinda screwed unless Google releases an update or I write a patch.
Hmmm... searching Google I'm hearing noises of other firmware that have patched the Email client allowing notification for subfolders. I'll have to dig into this more later. 'Twould be cool if it was a trivial patch easily applied to current ICS/CM9 Email tree.

My GS2 running GB 2.36 doesn't support folders, but I have used EE and are currently using touchdown. The strange thing is my Acer tablet supports folders in both Honeycomb and ICS.
i noticed the other day that if you go into a subfolder using the stock app and press the menu button that you can set it up to sync. I receive so many email that I can't say for sure if the notification window notifies you of subfolder emails, but I know that if you look at all folders you'll see a gray number all the way to the right indicating how many unread emails are in that subfolder.

Yeah, I tried that. The folder will sync (I have local cache for folder) but I receive no notification of new emails when they arrive in folder. Grrrr!
I'm not sure why Google put subfolder notification in the Gmail app but not in the stock Email app. Very odd.

Or the owner of the thread found a solution and happily forgot about ever posting here
Ha! No solution but something more on the order of a workaround for my particular situation. I got rid of the subfolder and built rules in Exchange to discard messages of no import to me.
I have not checked Jelly Bean's Email client as yet. Hopefully it implements notification for child folders. If not then someone at Google needs to be flogged relentlessly.
How are you guys setting rules in the native app? Is it something that only works on Exchange? I'd love to find an app that will let me filter my IMAP account like regular apps like Thunderbird/Apple Mail do.

Sorry, I might not have been clear. I built the filter rules on the Microsoft Exchange server, not on my phone.
Who are you using for mail? Google provides a nice array of server based filtering options with Gmail. Also, the stock ICS Gmail client supports child folder (label) notification with the option of setting ringtones per folder. Pure greatness in my opinion.

As of the latest JB build the email client functions are exactly the same. I had a DROID Charge before my Nexus, and someone modified that native email client to allow notifications for sub folders. Is there anyway to customize the native client? Anyone want to give this a try?

Ahh gotcha! I do have a gmail account but also use my email from my own band/record label domain. Maybe I should just move all the lists im on over to Gmail..

The source code is available. Someone with the requisite Java skills would need to have the interest and spare time to rewrite some of the code.

It works great. I have a torrent of crap hitting my Gmail box but most of it gets filtered and tagged with a label. (FYI -- Google uses labels instead of actual folders in Gmail. For all intents and purposes they are equivalent)
For lists I actually nest lables. Parent label is 'Lists' and all the email lists I belong to are nested underneath. Filter rules automatically bypass the inbox and drop the email in the appropriate place.
See attached screenshot. In it I'm looking at 'Lists/ODK'.
I too have the same problem and have decided to use TouchDown.
I too am missing the nofitications from subfolders in the email app in Android, so I made a quick look at the source code of this app to see if it would be possible to add this feature myself.
The notification itself happens in the NotificationController.java class: https://android.googlesource.com/pl...com/android/email/NotificationController.java
I did until now manage it to get an event in this class when an email arrives in a subfolder by modifying the class EmailProvider.java: https://android.googlesource.com/pl...com/android/email/provider/EmailProvider.java
I've changed the getBaseNotificationUri method to also return an uri on MESSAGE event. The only problem now is that in NotificationController.java only the combined inbox is checked for new emails. Maybe I can change that so that every message is checked. Maybe I have some time this weekend to try this.
I've managed to build a version of the email app that shows notifications when an email arrives in a subfolder. But when clicking on the notification it just opens the inbox of the account. I have to adjust this part too. I hope I will find some time.
I've been on Android about 6 months now. First I had a Galaxy Note & now I have a Galaxy Note 2. In that time I've tried around 30 email clients (some free & some paid versions) but I've still not some across a client that can offer me some (what I consider) very simple features.
What I'd like the client to do is:
1. Be able to resize within the email view so I can see the whole email (or at least the width of it if the mail is longer than one page length). This is such a simple thing but the only one I've found that does this is the official Hotmail client but that brings with it a whole load of other issues... Even the Gmail client doesn't let you do this & you're forced to scroll around the screen trying to put together a virtual jigsaw puzzle in your head of what the whole email should look like.
2. Be able to set an option in the settings to always allow images. Again a simple feature. Something similar to the Gmail app would also be OK where you set it for each sender separately.
3. Always display as HTML.
4. Push notifications that display the message title/sender in the notification.
Hopefully someone knows of such a client but I haven't found one yet.
Thanks for your help people.

Thanks. I downloaded Enhanced Email from the play store. It does most of the stuff but doesn't let you know the source or title of the incoming mail. Just tells you that you have new mail.
Also having some problems with formatting emails in mobile view.
It's probably the best I've tried though.
You probably won't find an email client that tells you the sender and title because usually people receive multiple emails at a time from various senders.
And try K 9 mail
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
Having used enhanced email for a few days I can say that it's definitely not up to use full time. When ever I reboot my phone it deletes my Hotmail account, it doesn't notify properly, has no push for Gmail, can't format html into mobile view effectively & has a poor gui. Very expensive for why it does.
I have tried K9 before & unless it's been updated recently there isn't an option to resize an email so that the while mail is displayed at once is there?

Yes, you can pinch to zoom but I'd like to display the whole email on screen at once & then decide which part of the email I'd like to zoom into (if any). K9 & most other Android clients don't allow this. The only app that I've found that can do this at all is the official Hotmail app but the rest of the app is so basic its shocking. It doesn't allow you to always show images & on my current phone its a 3 click process to show images (in every mail you view). It also truncates all mails to a maximum of 100kb do anything over this takes a further 3 clicks to display properly. Very poor.
Try Aquamail. I absolutely love it, and it has all these features. Their mobile view is the main reason I use it. Make sure you pick up the latest beta version 4 here: www.aqua-mail.com/?page_id=217
The mobile view used to be incorporated into the appstore version. The developer took it out temporarily, and it is only in the latest beta.
Thinking about switching to a Lumia 920, however Gmail support is very important to me. It really is too much hassle to change to outlook - I've looked into it and it won;t happen.
Question: will WP8 allow developers to come up with alternative mail clients for Gmail, like Sparrow for iOS? If so, is anyone developing such an app?
What would you get from a GMAIL app that you wouldn't get from setting it up in the email settings?

Intuitive.......ok I can see all my folders and emails..... Are we talking about gtalk being in the app or something. As far as email goes it works fine for my 2 Gmail accounts.
OK let me clarify. I am talking about the changes Gmail is going to make with activesync. I would like to use an app on WP8 that handles Gmail in a way as Gmail is intended to be used including multiple labels. An example of such an app, however this one is on iOS, is Sparrow. Does anyone know of a similar app that's being developed for WP8?
PS: thanks for the tutorial for moving to outlook.com, it seems easier than I thought.

hey, no offense, but i think you're missing the point. Everyone is a individual and has some wishes how to handle things. if someone aks for something he would like to have, it's his own decision how to have it. so it's rather useless to tell him not to have it the way he would like to have it because the way YOU have it works.
and! in case of googlemail. google ****ed up active sync on purpose, so if you buy a new windows phone you have to use imap or pop. i think giving google a kick in the a.. by moving on is a good idea. they have become too strong. atm i'm testing if outlook.com is able to replace googlemail and while outlook.com is working prettyx nice on Android, maybe i will move on. there's nothing missing on Lumia except the Lable "google" everything they made is replaceable.

sorry, but atm i don't know an app like this and google btw. clarified that there's no need for them to build googleapps for Windws phone

I understand user individuality and I understand your point of view. His statement after mine would have made a better response. I am well aware of the google activesync fiasco, and Outlook.com is great my kids use it. Now I thought that they wouldn't support if for people were free customers....That is sad indeed and I will then be forced to either jump ship or get email every 5mins-2hrs either way I will have to deal with it. Regardless I hope you find what you are looking for and I can vouch for the outlook.com or gmail (with activesync).
Hi all,
I witnessed an issue regarding all android phones/versions between 2.1-4.2 without any solution, and I couldn't find any thread that talks about it in the proprietary+google search.
The issue: pic's get cropped, and I'm forced to click the "can't view properly? click here" link to the web page.
Here's a screeenshot:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-naiwBRz1aRlprYWNyUmNWMDA/edit?usp=sharing
The issue isn't for all mails, and there are some mail that can be viewed properly within the Gmail app itself.
I'm currently running the latest Gmail app as you can see with the top nav buttons.
Anyone else experiencing this issue ?
Go into : Menu -Settings - General settings - Auto -fit messages. Check it, and back out. The message should now be entirely seen in the screen. To Zoom in just tap the screen, or use the two finger spread method.
Tried that already...just forgot to mention.
any other ideas?
It's something a bit more complicated than a just a setting or wrong usage.
Other than that, the only other thing I can suggest is to unistall mail. Then reinstall.

Thanks again for your answer !
Well I've uninstalled the gmail several times when tried the leaked Gmail apps(the first one that supports swipe to archive+pinch to zoom, and obviously the last one who supports the new tabs interface).
I'll just mention it's not a specific problem but cross device and cross android+Gmail versions.
I tried every version of android/gmail combo(forwarding lots of mail to friends etc) but each time they all get the same problem.
The only thing I figured out who kinda gave me an alternative is use the stock mail client and not the gmail one, but in that case I'm loosing lots of the Gmail app functionality.
This is really something that just myself noticed? this is not one mail or a specific sender.
In the OP you mentioned that it does not happen on all your Gmail Email. Is it just from certain People / Companies ?
No, it's usually when I get promotion emails from my bank or some online shopping websites that uses big photos that are basically links.
Moreover, it's always from automated mails BUT I think that's only because I'm not receiving large photos in personal emails.
I would recheck settings. I know sometimes when I'm frustrated, I miss stuff.

I'd love to hear any other ideas
