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!

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.
Has anyone else using an exchange server found that after a couple of weeks the calender stops syncing both ways but has no trace of errors.
I have been using the default email app to create an exchange account which I have it sync for calenders. The calender auto syncs as soon as I have created a new calender entry or will sync a calender entry made from my laptop when the account is asked to sync again. So both ways work fine.
But I have found that after a couple of weeks the calender sync just stops syncing to the server or from the server. But there is no error in the sync menu so unsure what's going wrong. There is no problem with the exchange server as my laptop never experiences this nor does anyone else at work.
Keep in mind everything was great and no settings have changed to cause this to happen. This has happened twice now, maybe even three times.
This last time I found I accepted a meeting request with touchdown (great email app for exchange by the way) and the email was sent out that I accepted the email and the exchange server was updated as my laptop gained the entry, but it never showed up in my calender entry on my phone.
The way to fix it is to delete the exchange account from the phone and create it again for it to all work properly again.
I will try and get another meeting request to be sent to my phone where I accept it to find out whether this caused the problem... but I have my doubts.
Anyone else having problems getting the native HTC email to sync correctly? I have an Exchange account and 3 IMAP accounts and the IMAP accounts will not sync on a regular basis. I loaded up Enhanced Email and it works fine.
I checked as many setting as I could and all appears to be set correctly: wireless networks all set to never sleep, background data and auto-sync both checked
I can keep using Enhanced Email but it's aggravating that I can't get the HTC app to work correctly.
Anyone have any ideas?
I figured it out. When I first got the phone and went through the setup I got a 504 gateway error. I also got there 504 gateway error when initially trying to set up my email accounts. Called customer service and they said to skip out of the setup and do everything manually. She said there was a glitch in the software and that the Gmail and Yahoo account setups didn't work and that all accounts needed to be set up through the IMAP process. Needless to say this is what was causing my problem.
To correct the email sync issue I deleted all of my accounts and set them up through the Gmail and Yahoo account set up process and all appears to be working now.
I am having the same problem so I just tried this option of setting up my yahoo accounts through the set up process. It does appear to receive email much faster but there are some downsides.
My Yahoo inbox (on the website) and the inbox on my Rezound are not completely synced now. The app has the option of downloading up to 30 days of email. Mail older than 30 days doesn't show up on the phone even if it's in your inbox on the website. Conversely, email that I deleted or moved from my inbox some time ago has now magically reappeared on my phone.
Another problem is that my mail folders that I set up on the website do not appear on the Rezound mail app anymore.
Seems the negatives are too numerous to have better syncing. I'm switching back to the manual setup as all the problems I mentioned above are not there and I'll just put up with poor syncing for now.
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?
look at the section list and try again
Mods, can you please close the thread. Will post it in the other area.
hit "report" and ask for it to be moved
I am surprised no-one replied to the problem. Does it mean all people have their emails auto syncing just fine?
I mean ISP provided accounts, especially POP3 ones.
