Please as title states, which email app do you guys prefer, on the sg2, and why please. I want to be able to use gmail, so jus want to findout what you guys are using, to receive or send your gmail emails. I also want the option to schedule the sync, so your input very much required.
I use the stock Gmail app for my gmail. gmail isn't my primary account so not bothered by any failings, etc.
I use K9 for my main non-gmail personal account. Am very happy with it, can schedule timings and specify a quiet time, when I don't want to be distured by email notifications (i.e. when I'm asleep).

I use gmail and have set it (via the web app) to collect hotmail and another pop3 account, so it's perfect for me as I have all emails in 1 app, and I do like the gmail app!
K9 Mail Sync settings.

Apologies for the delayed reply.
I think it's as follows:
Menu --> More --> Settings --> Account Settings --> Fetching Mail:
"Folder Poll Frequency".
Also under the above and within --> Advanced:
"Refresh IDLE connection".
I "think" that's what you're after... to be honest mine has always just worked.
Hope it helps!
i like samsung's email app. Only thing i cant figure out is how to put it to push.
I tried the Samsung E-Mail app but it really pissed me off more and more. You can hardly make any settings, just specify how many mails to load (timeframe) and how often to update, that's about it. the funtionality and look are standard.
I switched to K9 mail again and instantly remembered why I always came back to that app. Not only does my Push work flawlessly for both accounts (one business, one private that collects) without any "premium" account hassle making use of that annoying social hub, but I can specify all sorts of settings like how much data to transfer by default per mail, to load images, and many many more.

to make push work you have to set your mail account as an imap account. to do so you need to make it a premium account which leads you to samsung collecting your mails via the social hub ... I'd recommend k9 mail. looks the same, and you can make almost any necessary setting.
The stock Gmail app does everything I could ask for
I switched to EnhancedEmail when I used to have a DHD as the stock email client didn't sync contacts and calendars probably.
Enhanced did all the syncing perfectly, however, it just did not allow Exchange accout contacts to be created or added (i dont really know if the stock email client had the same problem or not).
With the SGS2, i used EnhancedEmail first, but recently switched to the stock samsung email client - it seems to work flawlessly, albeit, with the limitations to customisations stated by others. I use Exchange (both my my company email and hotmail) on Push, and at that, it is good enough for my usage.

Plus the stock mail app draines more battery then k9 due to being more active or active in the wrong way I don't know, but there is a big difference, at least on my phone.
Hi all! I'm considering getting the Galaxy S III. It will be my first Android phone. I'm coming from an HTC HD2 (non-Android ROM's). I have some questions regarding how well the S III works with a Microsoft Exchange Server.
Contacts
1. Assuming I have no contacts on the phone, when I input my Exchange credentials and sync, will this populate the Contacts on the S III?
2. If I have multiple Exchange accounts, can I choose to sync contacts on one account but not the other?
Mail
3. If I have multiple Exchange accounts and a Gmail account, are all of these in one Inbox or do you have to go to different screens/apps to access the different accounts?
4. Does syncing of mail work instantaneously, i.e. if I read/delete an e-mail on my PC, will it immediately reflect on the phone?
5. Do you get "push" e-mail?
Calendar
6. Can the phone handle multiple exchange calendars and a gmail calendar?
Tasks
7. Are tasks and syncing of tasks supported?
Thanks,
Bump. Anyone?

1. Your contacts sync as long as you check the option off.
2. I only have one exchange account so I dont know the answer on this.
3. I have my gmail account set up using the gmail app so I don't know this.
4. Immediately as long as you have pushed enabled.
5. Yes, as long as you enable it.
6. It can handle my one exchange calendar and gmail calendar so I believe so.
7. Yes.
Hi All,
I've got 4 IMAP accounts that support IDLE (push email) and I use Kaiten Mail to check them. As an addition, I have one gmail (apps) syncing for work. Naturally, keiten mail is the top app that wakes the phone.
I've been thinking to maybe move all these accounts to gmail (or apps) since the latest versions of gmail do all I need from an email client on the phone and I was wondering if it will reduce the time spent in syncing wakelocks.
It does seem a no-brainer to me but before I start moving my GBs from one server to another I though that maybe xda community has some insights to share?
Thanks everyone in advance!
Hi,
I have a galaxy s3 - which is the reason I am posting here - and have Android version 4.1.2 running. On 4.1.1 the email client was - in my experience - great. I had 2 gmails, a hotmail and an exchange email address syncing. There were no major speed issues or anything
When I upgraded tot 4.1.2 the sync of gmail when smooth as I expected. Then I tried to add my hotmail using active sync.
All went well and I set up my email to sync for all my emails - which I had in 4.1.1 as well and it is about 15K emails - It started downloading them in batched of 5 from last to newest. Everytime it synced about 20 and stopped. I have push set up and while roaming use the set up config - not manual - It took about 2 days to sync all my mails which I find strange because it didn't on 4.1.1 as well as download 50Kb of the message.
Is this a bug or is it my inbox or what is the problem?
Is there any other app that has combined inboxed for gmail, hotmail en exchange?
Thanks in advance,
Dunky
I don't ever use the Mail app as I have only Gmail accounts so cannot really point out the problem but what I can do is that advise you to use AquaMail (Search on Play Store) and see whether it provides a nicer experience.
Hit Thanks button if I helped you.
Not working for me since I want to use exchange active sync of hotmail: m.hotmail.com - AquaMail only supports IMAP and POP3 neither of them I like
I really hope to find some help with the problem. I can see a lot of related questions posted everywhere around the web without a solution.
It could be this is a well known problem and I just have to stop trying to fix it and wait for Samsung or Google to apply some fixes?
The problem is very simple. I have two email accounts: Hotmail and another one coming from my ISP using POP3 protocol (Home -ADSL2).
No matter what I do the Hotmail emails syncing without any problems but the other email doesn't update as per sync schedule. It works only if I sync it manually.
I have to add while my phone had 4.1.1 firmware I had both accounts auto-syncing.
Another thing is I tried enabling Auto Sync from the phone Settings>Data Usage without much effect. When it worked before, the auto sync was disabled and my Hotmail emails arrive with auto sync disabled anyway.
I really don't know what to try next. Could it be the problem with stock email client and I need to use a different client for that to work?
