Anyone else having trouble with the stock email app? Its brutally slow and freezes the whole phone. The problem is that it syncs with the stock calender app which I need. K9 mail does not as far as I know. I wish it was possible to remove our replace the stock email app with a newer or older or fixed version or something, but I don't have root and I don't know how to without it. Any suggestions for this problem or similar experiences?

I was having issues with the stock email app. Any message I would send from my phone it would stay in the outbox and not actually send the email. I would try manually pushing the email and that would not work. My suggestion is to try enhanced email from the market. I have been using it for a week now and the customizations above the stock email are worth the price. I believe you can Google it and download a free week trial version from their website.
You can try other mail clients but if you are using your phone for work and connecting to an Exchange (or exchange-like) ActiveSync server, take it from someone who is not only a heavy email user but also the email co-admin for a 5000 user environment, Touchdown by Nitrodesk right now is the only fully functional non-buggy exchange mail client for Android. If you are only a casual or occasional email user then Enhanced Email is ok, but still has a lot of bugs. I have a lot of experience supporting everything else out there (Including a few hundred Blackberry Enterprise users, and iPhone users) and right now Touchdown for Android is the only stable one that has feature parity with a real corporate email client.
Having said that, the stock mail client on CM7 is a lot less buggy than Samsung's, HTC's or Motorola's. So if you really need to use stock for some kind of calendar integration or because your favorite widget only supports stock mail and you are comfortable with flashing custom roms then CM7 give a try.
Hi, i'm really new to all this root/cwm/flash thing, i hope i am posting to the correct thread. It seems that the stock email client will not work on unNamed rom, probably because social hub is not installed. It just won't set up the account. (I did install social hub using the addon provided by the unNamed, but didn't work, social hub won't add any account for that matter) Gmail does work. I just wanted to point out this issue, to see if someone is having the same situation.
Sorry, i'm a complete noob.
One of my issues with android has been the cumbersome email to calendar integration.
My need is: read and email, let's say it has a task or goal I need to complete in one week. I would like to just plunk the email into my calendar one week from today with an alarm.
I know Touchdown and blackberry smart can do this but this is obviously not a bb and touchdown does not work with pop 3 accounts.
I was hoping Samsung may have integrated this feature. My HTC evo 3d doesn't.
I hate the default Samsung Galaxy S III email app, is there an email app similar to ICS email?
Have you tried ICS email itself? From say, CM9? I swap out the SecMMS.apk with CM9 as I prefer it. Well thats a lie. That works but I found a black one elsewhere.
Only difference is I have to name it SecMMS.apk instead of keeping its original name of MMS.apk.
Of course you may not be rooted though?
there 's loads of decent email apps if you look on play store .. k9, maildroid, etc ... or enhanced email which i use its a gr8 email client but its not free
I have to set up an Exchange account to get my work email, and I must say that the stock 4.1.2 mail app is pretty good, except for one thing - I can't figure out how to fit the emails to screen like I can in the Gmail app. Even if I pinch to zoom out, it will still not fit the whole (HTML) email to screen.
Please tell me that there is some way around it. I have looked at the other mail apps (K9, EE, etc), and I just don't like them.
I never thought I would like touchwiz but I am surprisingly happy with it. I know that with kit kat on the horizon I will want an asop rom to get the update faster. The only thing holding me back is that the samsung mail or calendar app syncs exchange tasks through active sync.
Do you know of another free or low cost app that does this... And no to touchdown
How in the world does the stock mail app not do this... Or does it!! I know it didn't in 4.2.
Edit: I assume that you can't run the tw mail app in a stock rom can you?
