I just got a ONE. I setup exchange (my outlook.com email) I try a search for something i KNOW is in the subject field from a few months ago. I get no results and no option to server side search. Is this just the usual exchange support on android sucks?
I haven't gotten my One yet, but I have a One X and the server side search can be a bit iffy at times. I haven't figured out why myself, but sometimes things pop up and other times even if I know I am searching for exactly what it is, it will not find it. I think it's how HTC's e-mail app searches, can be a bit wonky.

Thanks for the reply. Yea i keep trying, have yet to get any hits, or even an option to search server. Ill wait for custom roms and AOSP email, as that has worked on other devices.
try the outlook.com app. looks pretty nice.

I has hoping to use the native client. However i just installed the outlook app and it doesn't search the server either, really surprised at this.
I have my One set up with exchange. I hit the magnifying glass and start typing. I immediately get the ability to select "search server". Not sure why you aren't getting the option, but it is there. I tested it asell and works fine.

Very strange. Possibly outlook.com email issues. My verizon galaxy note 2 had the same issue no search server but when i replaced it with AOSP email app, that one works and searches server automatically just like the gmail app searches gmail.

Are you using a hotmail or outlook.com email address? Also if using outlook is it a paid office 365 version or just the free one (hotmail/live type account). Thanks, this will help me get to the bottom of this.
Thanks for the replies. As stated, i tried the outlook app from the play store.. That doesn't search the server either for me. It only searches emails on the device itself.

The weirdest thing to me... I type in "ducks without feathers" on my work or home pc and that same search shows up on my galaxy s3 a little while later. Im connected to a wireless network on both and signed in to google on all 3. Is this why? Does it work the opposite where things written on the phone show up on the computers? I find this invasive if i want to search something in private but it shows on my work pc? Anyway, just curious whats going on.

because you are signed in on your PC with your mobile Google account. so they save search history to your account...
if you think this is invasive, the. I think you should logout of Google for when your searching up these things you for some reason don't want recorded.
on a personal note, I would say delete your accounts and toss your phone and stop using the internet if you think linking search history that is only viewable to you is invasive. do you know how many things are tracking you web wide, not just search history on Google?
"Ducks without feathers?" :what::what::what::what:
Like stated above, search history is saved onto your Google account and synced. You can disable it in settings, though.

I personally wouldnt use a personal Google account at work honestly. less trouble period. a better solution I think would be to use a second account for business use only. limits potential vectors that something can obtain your PW, personal info and such.
Under your account sync options sync browser is one of the available selections.
Google History
I am having the same problem however, I am not searching FROM my PC , I am searching from my phone and it shows up on my work PC. I am not even logged in to my Google account at work! How is this happening?
It's not "Sync Browser"

That doesn't stop it.
I've had "Sync Browser" disabled since shortly after I got the phone, because "Sync Browser" is a battery killer. (Before I disabled "Sync Browser," Settings->Battery showed 33% used by "Browser" when I'd done no web browsing on the phone at all; after I disabled "Sync Browser" that went to zero.) But even though "Sync Browser" is disabled on my phone, my google searches on the computer (in any web browser) are still showing up on the phone, almost immediately.
I also tried disabling "Sync Google+," "Sync Google+ Photos," and "Sync Google+ Uploads," but that didn't stop it, either.
I also tried disabling "Sync App Data," but that didn't stop it, either.
The only other Sync settings I have enabled are:
Sync Calendar
Sync Contacts
Sync Gmail
Sync People details
This is very annoying!

SO RIDICULOUS! I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I'M WATCHING UNFOLD???? YET AS YOU SEE BY SOME OF THE ANSWERS IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ANGER PEOPLE WHOM SHOULD BE ANSWERING THE CONCERNS YOU ARE REQUESTING. DEVELOPERS ON THIS VERY WEBSITE TELLING YOU TO DELETE YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT. ITS SCARY WHAT GOOGLE IS CAPABLE OF DOING, WE ALL HAVE PICTURES, DOCUMENTS, PRIVATE THINGS WE'D BE MORTIFIED WE DIDN'T KNOW WERE SHARED ALREADY. I MYSELF HAVE TROUBLE SEEING, I'LL TAKE A PICTURE OF SOMETHING I'M READING TO ZOOM IN, OR REFER TO INSTRUCTIONS INSTEAD OF 10 WINDOWS OPEN AT THE SAME TIME. I ASKED GOOGLE PLUS A QUESTION, AND IT SHOWS UP IF I GOOGLE MY OWN NAME, ABOUT GAME OF THRONES!!!! I SAY OKAY GOOGLE CONSTANTLY TO NOT HAVE TO TYPE ON MY PHONE. ONE SUGGESTION IS TO SEARCH "INCOGNITO" ITS RIGHT IN THE TOOLS ON GOOGLES MENU. GO TO (website blocked me from providing you the site) sign in there and look at everything one by one. it shows where you've been, where you've signed in, you can change all kinds of settings through that. Most of all fear google plus the most! Because they auto upload without permission your cameras pictures and aren't private by default. It used to be Picasa I think Google bought it. So much more,,,, For now start those suggestions

I dug and searched for the same thing, from what I found all over the internet, no. I resorted to using the email app for gmail and unchecking the sync gmail in my account list so I wouldn't get double notified. The stock email app is pretty good, no issues, seems a little more flexible.

Thats disappointing. (I know its not your fault)
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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
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.
from a galaxy far far away....
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

My unrooted GN2 isn't fetching mail. I'm not sure if it's a bug or user error and would appreciate some help. I've got just one [pop3] email account and use the stock email app with the latest firmware. In the settings for this account under Period to sync it's 1 month or 100 emails. Under Sync schedule both peak and off-peak are set to every 15 minutes. I haven't roamed yet but it's set to the same settings while roaming. All the server settings are correct because when I manually send and receive it works fine. If I go to settings/email from the home screen the account is listed and below it it says sync disabled, with no way to enable sync-ing. Would be grateful to get this issue solved.
I haven't use the native email app in four years now. I did this a long time ago and it's worked great for me: http://www.androidcentral.com/using-gmail-your-own-personal-push-mail-server
If you don't want to use the Gmail app, you might want to consider using one of the 3rd party email clients in the Play Store. It seems that K-9 is the most popular.
If you want to stick with the native email app I would recommend that you remove the email account and reinstall it. Someone that uses that app will probably have some better advice for you soon.
Good luck.
Thanks- I'm gonna give it a little time before I change apps. Re-installing the account will be the next thing I try if I can't figure it out soon. In the past I've used and been pretty happy with K-9 and Kaiten but after using the new phone for a week I'm happy with the stock email program- seems just as good as the others for my basic needs. The phone itself... what a leap up from the other smart phones I've owned! It's a million times better than my last two phones- Droid X and Charge.
I'm actually having the same problem. I use the stock email app for my Hotmail account. It worked fine when I first got the phone, but now I never get notifications and even when I go in and hit the sync button, it will say "last synced at x:xx" but there won't be any new messages. But if I check my mail on my laptop, there's a ton of new messages.
I'd switch to K-9 if it wasn't so friggin ugly.
Sorry- that stinks. I'm still able to get my mail but only by manually hitting the sync button. I'm gonna go give Kaiten a try again since the native app is buggy.
Update- Kaiten apparently stinks now too. There's a beta out that everyone says is not good so I went with K-9. Installed and set up easily and got is syncing properly.

K-9 syncs automatically like it's supposed to. Looks like it's just a bug in the native app.

I'll work my way thru some of these and see what I like. Tried Mail Droid and it was a little wonky for me. I installed Aqua and Emoze- will give them a try next.
AquaMail seems to be the best of the bunch. Haven't had a glitch since I started using it about 10 days ago. It's also, by a pretty big margin, the most customize-able so if you like like that it's well worth trying.
Just a general question, or just a point out. Why would google put that e-mail app in Lollipop, when gmail can take care of all your accounts, another thing the email app is not even usable when you open it. It'll just redirect you to the Gmail app. Just weird Google would do that.
Gmail handles all email accounts now. Just slide out the side menu, and the accounts will appear by the top if you linked them.

Actually, gmail *does not actually* handle anything at all besides gmail itself.
It is actually opening activities from the regular email application.
If you disable gmail, you will find that the functionality of email increases.
Either way, they both suck badly. I suggest k9mail and disabling both of email/gmail.
Gmail does actually handle exchange and hotmail .... at least for me.

Give up. You are incorrect and parroting garbage being spouted by people who have no idea what they are talking about.
In fact, how about you try this TO PROVE ME WRONG:
DELETE the following trees;
/system/app/PrebuiltEmailGoogle
/system/app/PrebuiltExchangeGoogle
But LEAVE
/system/app/PrebuiltGmail and whatever update may be installed in /data/app
Observe how suddenly "gmail" can no longer use IMAP, POP3, SMTP, or exchange.
Hmm, I wonder why that would be, if these were actually functions of gmail.
Like I said, I'm truly sorry for you, that you were dropped on your head as a child.
Why no other mail??
Apart altogether from the frankly appalling suggestions (which should warrent a permanent ban, I have a relative who was dropped when small) why (apart from paranoia and greed) does Lolli not have an option to pick up the former mail app; I don't like gmail and don't like learning a new one.

I don't know if it's greed as much as survival. I'm the same way where I prefer not to use the gmail app and YouTube app or be logged into my browser and have google search everything I'm doing. What got me excited about gmail when it first came out was it offered free pop3 with basically unlimited storage for free. Then they offered imap which was way better. All these years since gmail came out I only logged in to the actual gmail site or app very rarely, mostly just because it's better at searching for old emails. Realistically though, as awesome as AOSP and Nexus devices are, it doesnt do them any good to offer a general mail client that pushes people away from the gmail ads. Makes more sense for them to try and get us Nexus people excited about Inbox even if a lot of us are old school curmudgeons. Very few people these days use stand alone email clients outside of the office. Much more people likely use their own personal domain email using gmail as the mail client as weird as that is to us.
