Anyone use Blue Mail as their mail app? Seems relatively new with only 10,000+ downloads, but has 4/5 stars in ratings. I dont want to use Maildroid with Ads and need support for Office 365/Gmail at the same time. It seems there arent very many apps other than the default mail app and Maildroid that support both simultaneously.

I use Blue Mail and I love it. However, I have an issue. Maybe I'm getting dumb in my old age, but I can't figure how to switch between different email providors. Any help?

I've sorted it out.

Read my sign to know the ROM I'm on - I wanted to know the best mail client available on the Market. The stock client sucks! Have tried K9 but the UI wasn't appealing.
Looking for a client that supports FREE mail services like GMail, Yahoo, Hotmail PLUS Exchange support for POP3, SMTP and IMAP. The UI should be very clean - somewhat like the iPhone mail app or even the Blackberry will do.
Straight forward suggestions are appreciated rather than suggesting me to change my phone etc.
want also a good email app. The stock is decent but not that great.
Not sure if its the "best", but I settled on maildroid after trying a few of the options out there...

I agree. Maildroid is indeed very good.
Its a bit off topic, but while looking to improve my mailing via samsung vibrant experience i found "perfect messenger". You can set it to whatever mail app you choose to use, and its a widget that you can place on you homescreen that lets you scroll through a list of 25 to 300 messages. You can have that incluce, sms, email, missed calls, calls, etc. and without having to even open any app its a really nice quick view of your incomings.
I'd also like a better email client. I've been using K9 just because I've never found anything better. I had tried SEVEN a while back, and while it had a nice interface, it was way too slow for my taste. http://community.seven.com/main.php
Maybe I'll give it another whirl since I'm on 2.2 now.
I had RoadSync back in my mt3g days. I liked it. Don't know if it's "the best"
Cant remember if it did pop and imap, but worked well with exchange.
in my opinion, MailDroid is your best bet.
Depending on the complexity of your configuration and how customized you want it to be, k9 will give you more configuration options... maildroid still gets the job done.. IMO
ymmv.. Best bet is to try both and see which you like.
I have been on lots of fourms. Att form is ok but you have to be careful of some of the advice same with other. This is the place to be.
One that note I like to hear from Blackberry coverts
blackberry still the best when it comes to email clients. Has anyone found a email program Paid or not that work as well as BB.
See if I can make myself clear. BB has all the emails from all your acounts. ( not just one but as many as you like) lets say gmail,hotmail,yahoo,comcast ect. They are all in on place. When you get mail they all show there in one icon. You cand send recieive and compose from this on place. you dont need to even go to your yahoo mail or your gmail. Its is all stored in one nice area along with saved file email deleted mail. not just for one type email client. And works with microsoft exchange.

This seems to be a common but unaddressed issue with AOxP ROMs. Apparently ICS does a poor job of splitting messages nor does it allow more than 100 messages to be sent an hour. For messages that are split the text received is garbled (not in the order sent or unreadable). It does not matter what SMS app you use (Handcent, GoSMS, or stock) the results are the same.
To recreate the issue, send a text with 200 characters or more, to 20 or more recipients. While that message is sending, send another text (test) to one person. You will get a popup stating that a large number of texts are being sent; press cancel to stop or ok to keep sending. If the message is sent the recipient will either not get the entire message or it will not be received at all. This is for messages sent to any carrier (GSM or CDMA).
This is such a frustrating issue for me, I am willing to pay for help. If you are a developer, and are willing to help, please let me know. If the fix works it should be made available to everyone.
I did try this tweak to no avail.
Sir, I see and understand your question/request.

Thanks I'm cool with that. Just don't want it to get lost in the shuffle, or not receive the attention it deserves.
That's a fk ton of texts. I'm curious why you would want to send so many texts on a regular basis? Not flaming, just genuinely curious.

I lead a men's ministry and the best way to communicate with them in realtime is via text.
How realtime is Google +, making a circle for just your group, but then all would have to have Google accounts....?
A Fan page via Facebook...?
Twitter page wth just your group?
Palringo: desktop and app...I use it.. Palringo...you can make room/chats for just your group...Palringo is a server-based instant messaging client for various platforms. It supported several protocols such as AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, XMPP/Jabber, Google Talk, Gadu-Gadu, ICQ, MobileMe/iChat and Facebook IM.[1] As of May 11, 2012, Palringo stopped supporting third party IM protocols to focus on their own group messaging system
Idk...just ideas... Just an idea till your request is looked at?

Great ideas! Unfortunately many of the guys are not tech savvy and even less do social sites. Most of them have regular, non-smart phones. All of them have text plans so this is the agreed up method of communication. Trust me, I'd rather do something like Facebook. I have 6 phone lines for my family (four children). All the children text. We do so little calling that we have the smallest/lowest voice plan AT&T offers. I just can't believe AOSP has built in limitations for texting in 2012.

a non-AOSP rom is not an option for you?
some do work great ya know....
How about using google voice for texting. I use it along with the stock messaging. Doesn't seem to split texts. No mms support as of yet, but texting works great. Just need to get a google voice number. You can use that number strictly for your ministry. Can even receive calls on it on multiple lines. Works very well. You can also send and receive texts from your PC.

That's actually a great idea. I will give that a try. I still want the functionality in the ROM if possible.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any apps/utils that notify you of new emails (without actually checking email directly on the phone). What I mean is, an app that I guess checks it in the background or whatever, then pops up letting you know you have mail "to check". When I had my "other phone" there was an app called Ultimate Notifier that did this - I didn't have to check my email constantly, and I'd only get notifications that I had email "to check" when I did.
I've found a few apps in the market, but none seem to either work at all, or even do what I'm wanting to do. I know it's not an issue to check email every hour or whatever, but sometimes I prefer to just be notified that I have an email, and if I decide to check it, I check it, if not I don't, at least I was notified anyhow.
Hopefully there's "an app" for that, lol. It's the only thing I miss coming from my "old phone" If it matters, I'm using AquaMail, and the few that I have found are for K9 mail (and haven't been updated in years).
Thanks.

I'm confused. All email I thought had this built in. I use Gmail, Yahoo (through built in email app) and Outlook through touchdown. Gmail and outlook are push so every time I get an email I can have it notify me. Yahoo checks every 1/2 hour and notifies me if I have a new email.
why would you need an external app unless you don't have nay kind of setting to auto update mail or push?

Because I don't have it set to update. I generally do, but wanted to have it the way I had it with my other device. It'd just notify that I *had* an email (it wouldn't pull it or anything), and I could choose to check it or not check it. I know it seems silly, but it's just the way I preferred it I suppose.

OK not sure if you do this to save battery life or whatever but if so it would not make sense since the other app would be reaching out (push) to see if there was any email. So it would be a wash one vs the other.

A bit of battery saving. I'm not sure how the app I was using with my other device worked (It was called Ultimate Notifier), but their system checked my email server(s) to see if I had messages, if I did, it'd just send me a push notification - I wasn't "polling" any email servers on my end.

Umm...Ultimate Notifier was made at a time when Push email didn't exist outside of using MobileMe. It was made useless when Apple allowed Push mail with Gmail and POP3 boxes. What you were, in essence, doing is polling the Ultimate Notifier server in the same way that phones today poll Gmail (or other boxes). It used no less battery. In fact, if you know how Push notifications work it doesn't matter if you have 1 service (in your case Ultimate Notifier) or 10 services, you're not using any more battery. The only thing using the battery is downloading the emails, which probably accounts for about 10 minutes of battery a day.
In essence, there's no need for an app like that when every email app can do it natively. It uses the same amount of battery. If you liked how it looked and such...that can probably be done with a few other apps (different email apps or notification apps).

Very simple question. Seems like I can't find anyone else who has this question for some reason. I would think that several other people also wonder about this, unless I just simply missed something.
How do I choose a custom mail app for mail? When I choose a theme and click on the widget for email, it asks me to choose Email, Gmail, and Voicemail. However, I use CloudMagic for my email, so this doesn't work for me...
Does anyone have any clue how I can fix this?
There is no clue. Themer only supports gmail at the moment.

Icon notifications for any app has just been released into the beta testing community, so it shouldn't be much longer for that to arrive. However this is different to displaying email counts in Zooper, which is a much more complicated process.
