Is there a consensus on which is the best email app? Is the stock Samsung email client good? I have a gmail account, but also a school account. Is there something other than these two that's generally considered good?
I need to get to my corporate Exchange email server and I always used Touchdown. The user interface has a bit to be desired but I liked that I didn't have to enforce a pin on my phone when I unlock my phone (with touchdown you only have to enter pin when going into the app).
Now I've discovered Enhanced Email which I like much better. No pin needed anywhere and it allows me to use the native calendar app on the s3 which I love.

I prefer the ICS email app, but without root there is no way to install it.
Or is there?
Is there any way to make the gmail app handle other addresses? It works pretty well imo.
No, the Gmail app is just for Gmail, but the original ICS email app looks exactly like the Gmail app and it can handle Gmail and other addresses. We just need a way to get it on the phone without root out a root method that doesn't trip the counter.
I never thought I would like touchwiz but I am surprisingly happy with it. I know that with kit kat on the horizon I will want an asop rom to get the update faster. The only thing holding me back is that the samsung mail or calendar app syncs exchange tasks through active sync.
Do you know of another free or low cost app that does this... And no to touchdown
How in the world does the stock mail app not do this... Or does it!! I know it didn't in 4.2.
Edit: I assume that you can't run the tw mail app in a stock rom can you?
My wife recently switched from Gmail to a Hosted Exchange. She dislikes the stock App that comes with her Galaxy S2 and wants something that is more like the gmail app, especially conversation view etc.
What good apps exist as replacements? She is happy to pay.
The stock Samsung email app is OK but robust it is not. If you want more consider AquaMail Pro. Free trial and a few bucks to own. Very good looking and powerful. Keep all of your email addresses in one spot.
I have no connection to the app other than I own and like it.
K9 mail real good opensource mail client.

i like the Sammy Email but +1 on free and robust
I agree Aquamail is quite nice IMO. Did not take long for me to get the pro version... For couple bucks it is well worth it.... Knowing also how much work is required to access exchange via ews the app is in fact cheap... Only complain is no sync with Outlook contact and calendar AFAIK.
Thanks for the heads up on this app that deserves it.
Cloudmagic is great too

blue mail it's the best.... ????
If I require mail, contact and calendar sync with 3 Exchange accounts what is the best non stock email app for me to try? I have been hating the inaccurate notification style of the stock Samsung email app
Nine is my email app of choice. Plus it shows the exchange calendar in the stock calendar app.

+1 for Nine. I have been looking for a good Exchange Email App and when I found Nine I knew I hit gold! It is by far the best Exchange Email app around... and I have tried many.

If MS Exchange compatibility is your prioirity you cant beat Touchdown. It is not free however. But you can get a free trial to try it out. For me its well worth the price.
Yes, Cloudmagic. I just went through and tried most of them, and Cloudmagic I've been using for about a week. Aquamail did look good, I just didn't have the time to go through and learn all the functionalities of it. I'll probably give it another try once I'm able to spend more time learning it.

Definitely Blue mail is the go-to mail app, it is free Nd it is multiaccount with push notifications and looks great on the GTS
The new Gmail does all that and is free

But Gmail doesn't have push notifications
Is it only the included mailapp (and calendar) from Samsung that works with the tab after papergarden? I assume you know what I'm talking about, no? On videos from YouTube I believe the widgets covering the calendar and mail widgets are yellow and green.
If third party mail/calendar apps doesn't work together with said widgets, isn't it better to stick with the stock apps?
No way.. Blue mail is the one. They will repond quickly also if you send in ab issue. Plus its works constantly for push on mulitple accounts. Stock for some reason goes to sleep and emails come in up to 1 hour late. I thought google would have fixed the isue from note 3. Not every since they stopped supporting exchange mail settings 2 years ago.
who runs blue mail? There no info who they are?
I like mailbox, perfect for me.
type mail
It's fairly new but I love it I think it's better than aquamail pro, I have them both downloaded but I think Type Mail is alot faster. Did I mention completely free.
Don't know how many people realize this, but Outlook.com is the only free cloud service that would let you synchronize your email, calendar, tasks and contacts between MS Office Outlook and Android and iOS without having to install any software on desktop.
This is huge for people working in managed application environments where you can't install any apps on work machines and use Outlook for company emails.
Google requires a paid 3rd party sync software, and Apple requires installation of the free iCloud.
Outlook.com account can be set up in Outlook app without any 3rd party downloads, and at least in Outlook 2013 will sync email, contacts, calendar and tasks (no Notes). You can then get all of this on your Android or iOS device by setting up an EAS account.
Now, the problem.. so far the only Android widget that I could find that would show both the calendar and the tasks from Outlook.com is Samsung's Mini Today. The problem is, it's not available unless you use Touchwiz.
There may be some paid widgets - I didn't want to pay $ upfront only to find out they didn't work. But so far each and every free or freemium widget I tried would not show Outlook.com tasks.
Any suggestions ?

You are speaking from the bottom of my heart. I am in quest for other than Samsung TW calendar & tasks widget for over a year, from the beginning I have an Android device. Until now I have not found a widget that would be able to show calendar & tasks from Microsoft Exchange account that is used in our managed enterprise environment (and I tried them quite a bunch).
It is actually one of the main reasons why I stick to TW ROMs. MS Exchange Calendar & Tasks is a must for my work and personal life and I would like to have everything in one place.
Even worse, the S Planner widgets are not available in alternative launchers - only in TW launcher. And that really is an annoyance.

I would be even willing to pay for something that works but so far I have found nothing.
So, in fact, no suggestion, just crying and complaining :crying: (and hoping that someone would point to something I have overlooked).
