One thing I would like Android app to improve is to utilize the bigger screen more effectively like iPad.
I enjoy a lot on using email app on iPad because it supports two-pane interface, where list of mail on the left pane and the content of the selected mail is on the wider right-pane.
I saw Galaxy Tab has something similar for its email app, and it is being discussed about the possibility of porting the apk to work on other rooted droid phone/tablet.

Will anyone try it on Archos 70 or 101?
I'm a newbie on rooting my Archos; so I'm not sure I can try it myself even I'm eager to.
Thanks
i haven't gotta it to work.. i can install it but it forces closes on opening....
dont think its supposed to be "installed" according to that thread.. just pop it in the system/app folder.
does the client have gmail support? i get the feeling its just a pop3/imap client which isnt ideal for me. still hopefully the gmail app for tablets will be released for it soon after honeycomb is out
i delete the stock email.apk and put the new email.apk in the system/app folder...
1) i install it but it force closes...
2) i put it in the folder and reboot tablet and it disappears on reboot
3) i install it with stock email still installed and get failed install
so i dont know wat im doing wrong.. i have the sde installed with rooted kernel and i cant uninstall any stock apps.. they delete but return on reboot..
Thanks for trying.
When I got Archos 70 (Froyo 2.2.1), I can't use the stock email app to setup my Yahoo mail, no matter what I did, it always said wrong login/password (either automatic or manual setup won't work); but don't have any problem with my two gmail accounts setup.
So I downloaded and installed K-9 email app from Market and it works smoothly as my only mail app till now.
Just wonder why I can install and use another email app (K-9) on my unrooted Archos, but can't do the same for Galaxy Tab email app?
It's probably looking for something in the framework files on the G-Tab, which the Archos doesn't have. Kind of like trying to run the Sense clock on a non-sense rom, it just won't work (won't work even on a Sense rom if you're not using HTC's rosie).
Basically there's something on the g-tab that's missing on the Archos..
Because the Galaxy Tab email program uses extensions ( by samsung ) put into the system.
If someone finds out what/where/how we will be able to use that app.
I've got it working but I don't have enough posts on XDA to post a link. If you go to archosfans forums and look at the gen 8 hacking forum you'll see links to the files used to get the GTAB email app working on my 70. You must use the SDE root method to install it.
Did you get pop3 working?
It's working fine for gmail, but my nprmal pop3 accounts are not loading.
Thanks. I got Yahoo and Gmail working.
In order to make it work, I have to clear cache in Manage Application first.
When composing a new mail, I can't attach document. It always fC.
My hotmail account did not download messages but even stock android email app has issues with hotmail.
It does seem to be having some issues with attachments. I think it is due to the archos mount structure.
Having been using Galaxy Tab email.apk on my Archos 70 for two days and I like it very much (except not being able to attached file for new mail, downloading attached file is ok).
Just notice that sometimes read mails are still in bold characters instead of normal ones.
Sometimes it become normal characters after being read; but next time when I launch the email app, it becomes bold again.
Anyone has the same problem?
how use this
impossible to rename or move the email.apk
and copy the 3 apks on rep system/app/
i use the SDE and the A101 is rooted
Do you use the SDE + SD Card?
Otherwise you still use the squashfs, that is readonly.
So how are you guys removing the stock email apk?

If you root your device and boot from sdcard with Uruk hack, then you can simply copy those three Galaxy Tab apk into /system/app by either Astro or Rootexplorer; and reboot again from sdcard.
Hi,
I have installed a modded CM9 rom (hydrogen) that is discontinued now.
As soon as i have a little time i will look for a new rom but now i have to access an exchange mail created at my office and notice that there is no mail apk in the rom (just the gmail).
How can i access the exchange server now? Is there a way to get the default mail that have exchange support back? APk ou flashable ZIP?

You have a "Corporate" option to setup an Exchange account in your phone. Check that out.

Ohh, I forgot one thing. I also have flashed a pack (scripts) that changed some things in the rom. One of the changes was delete the Email.apk and Exchange.apk.
Now i guess i need to restore them if i want to access the exchange server, am i right?

Reclaim your Contacts !
Actually turned out simpler to do than i initially thought it would be.
Enables "Keep Locally" ( keep_local ) option for adding new contacts instead of forced google account.
Prevents google from deleting all you contacts when you remove your account
Disables google contact sync
The offending package comes with gapps if you got google that way.
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk you will find it in /system/app/ (need root file explorer to see it though)
You can make this fix in 3 ways, the first may not need root but i cant test as my phone is rooted.
In Settings>App find it in the list of all installed apps, click it, click disable. (please someone tell me if they can do this without root)
Use a root file explorer such as "Root Browser", navigate to /system/app/ backup the app .apk to your sdcard for example, then delete it.
You can also try clicking the app .apk in "Root Browser" and choose uninstall, but i could get this to work.
Thats it ! , no need to reboot. Enjoy
(to test it worked, just navigate to Settings>Accounts>(your google account) and you will see there is no longer the option to sync contacts)
:highfive:

What would be the thing to replace this with? It's important to have something as convenient as what we're replacing. You can export you contacts to a single .vcf file. This can then be bluetoothed over to your desktop, uploaded to a server or transferred by USB or sdcard but what we really want is something as convenient as Google Contacts which syncronises to a place/server that you control automatically and easily.
Not sure if there's an alternative app out there though for this?
There's Go Contacts, ContactMoney and alternative dialers but I don't think these have alternative sync methods.
I think I'd prefer something from the fDroid/homebrew/commandline way. Perhaps a SyncML solution, or just something that automates the process of exporting contacts, encrypting them with a basic password and uploading to dropbox or an email address.
i was thinking the same thing, like ftp/sftp backup. it could be done pretty easily but i may not be the person to do it , i havent looked around though and suspect there may already be something already that could do this...
btw, yes i love f-droid too and recommend everyone to install its repo browser app and check out whats on offer.

In f-droid you find funambol (syncML), LDAP Sync and aCal (CardDAV).
I don't use any of them (to lazy to set up a server) but with some effort you should be able to make contact-sync work for you.

I purged GoogelContactsSync and GoogleCalendarSync from my device.
For syncing I use SyncMate(free), which I found pretty convenient.
hotmail/corporate sync
This worked fabulously till i decide to use a Hotmail account (with the stock email app), from that moment on the problem reappeared, just instead of trying to store the contacts in gmail, it now tries to store in Hotmail/corporate account!!!!
Has Google hired all the stupid developers that Microsoft fired??? Microsoft is becoming famous for it ability to consider their clients stupid and the attitude: when-know-what-you-want-better-than-you, now Google seems to be going with the same mentality!
Any idea how to stop this on the hotmail account?
p.s. my only workaround was to use the Hotmail app instead of the stock email app, unfortunately the Hotmail app (Microsoft, remember?) thinks i will never need to see any email older than 30 days?!?!?! WTF???

I use MyPhoneExplorer - it syncs my local contacts to my Thunderbird and vice versa. It syncs calendar events too ... so eventually I've got a copy and it's all local. One thing it doesn't do is contacts photos, so I also use SuperBackup to make a copy on my SD card (this way I can get the pictures up quickly).
When contacts are in Thunderbird (I've created there an address book just for syncing the phone) I can re-arrange, edit, etc. and when syncing back the pictures are retained ... Then I do SuperBackup to have a copy of new phone book with pictures.
Regards,...

This little app will do the trick:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.mylocalaccount
After you install it, go to Accounts and create one "MyLocalAccount". After that, all you have to do is to transfer your contacts from the Google account into the "Local contacts" account just created. You can do this with the built-in Export/Import contacts tool.
f . . k the google, they work for attack to our privacy only :\
Hi, i want to reverse this topic
sync google accounts
It's been a while since I've been through this, but unfortunately I have a similar problem. My problem is "Google account" in accounts and sync. But I can only select google photos when I click on the sync mark. No selection box for contacts. How can I fix that?
The device has clone s3 and ics 4.0.4 on it. The gapps packages available for this release also do not work. It does not synchronize people in any case. I cleaned the data from the applications, I deleted Accounts.db and reinstalled it.
Finally, I found the following lines for Accounts.xml and added it, but still there is no positive situation. What else can I do? Thank you.
Syncable = "true"> <authority id = "3" account = ".." type = "com.google" authority = "com.android.contacts"
<PeriodicSync period = "86400" />
</ Authority>
I am currently using K9 email which seems to be the least bad app for POP3
This has a global config for server deletion (POP).
It is useful, when travelling, to got rid of unwanted emails there and then. Is there an email app which, when you delete an email, it prompts if you want to delete from the server also?
I have had apps previously which did that, on Symbian and Windows, but don't know of any for Android or IOS.
Another solution is an app which downloads headers only; these exist for Windows and usually have a server delete option. Such an app is handy anyway, in case somebody has sent you a 20MB email while you are roaming But I have never found one for Android. It must be dead easy to write...
Or of course one could install a second email app which is configured for server deletion and just run that for this purpose, but that's stupid.
Another solution for cleaning up the mailbox is to use webmail...
I don't think anybody reads this forum but in case somebody finds this on google, I can confirm Maildroid does exactly that I wanted.
Hello everyone!
I'm having an issue with the built-in Email app on my RN4X (mido). For some reason it creates duplicated labels (folders) on my Gmail account.
For example, the app creates its own "Sent" folder, which I then see in the Gmail web interface as "/[Imap]/Sent", the same with Trash and few more folders.
Usually with other apps, the workaround was to set an IMAP default prefix - which is [Gmail] in this case, and the mail app realized which folder is which and used the standard ones in Gmail, but the MIUI Email app doesn't seem to "understand" this.
Can someone please enlighten me here? Do you use Gmail with the built-in Email app?
PS: Of course, the simple solution would be to use Gmail app and be done with it, however, I'd like to keep my mail accounts in one app and I don't really like how the Gmail app handles multiple accounts (you can't set it to default into "All Inboxes", etc.). So the built-in app seems fine for this and I don't really like to install yet another app (Outlook, etc.) to use it for something as simple as email.
I'm using the latest update of everything on my phone, so I don't think the issue can be here. But if someone has an older version of an app that should be working, I'm all for it.
Thanks a lot!
