I read that KitKat on Sony brought enhancements to Sony's stock email client.
Can anyone confirm if, using exchange, emails that get pushed directly to folders will trigger a notification yet? This was a big flaw in the past that none of the other manufacturers had and a main reason I didn't stick with the Z1.
At work, I have about 45 folders. Most emails I get automatically go to their pre-designated folders via Exchange rules. With Sony, I'd never get notification of a new email not going to the inbox, thus making the phone useless for me.
Any insight would be of great value!
Im quite sure it does, i have all of my folders from my gmail account
I dont know if the emails will show up like they are supose to with "pre-designation"

Dont think it does and most of the inbuilt clients doesnt support notifications to folders (that are setup by MS Exchange rules). Hence I resorted to using TouchDown or Moxier Mail. Both supports this and works really good!

Samsung, HTC, and LG all push to folders (which is set up in Outlook) and notify as well. Only Sony has the issue I mention.

It's really bad that Sony can't fix this simple issue, my previous HTC ONE managed this just fine. I'm thiking of returning my Z2 due to this.

Nope, got mine on thursday (Sweden) doesn't work. I have meanwhile "worked around" the issue buying thirdparty software like touchdown HD from googleplay. That will do for now. Still embarrassing that Sony can't fix this.
Im having the same problem. It sucks that Sony can't fix this.

Android stock email isn't the fastest for imap.
I tend to use K9 for this.
However, this isn't tied into timescape...
I kinda like the idea of one esthetic overview of my calls, texts and email. Since I use my phone for business, I don't really need twitter or facebook.
I tried executive assistant and pure messenger. They are ok but not half as nice as timescape...
Do you know of any other good alternatives for timescape?

Are any of you using this app successfully? I'm thinking this awesome app may be what's causing my phone to lock up and randomly reboot.
I've been using it for a couple months but I'm no power user of the app. I get maybe 1 e-mail a day that I either move to a folder or delete.
edit: I'm using Jokers rev 2/test3 rom
I use the app and so does my wife. We are for sure power users averaging 75-200 emails a day across 2-4 accounts. I couldn't handle how the built in app didn't visually differentiate visually what account each email is from (for us it makes a huge difference).
That said my phone does reboot more often than I like. I don't have lockups but I did have instances where I couldn't type or make calls without a reboot, but my wife never has this. I tracked it down to SwiftKey X Keyboard. I have since moved to another keyboard (Flex T9, and ICS Keyboard) and I have eliminated the typing issues.

It's not the app, once again...you have a broken photon lol =/. Good news is, you arent missing much with enhanced email, gmail app gets emails 5-10 minutes faster than enhanced email. I've tried it on two phones, and a tab, all same results. It's a nice idea to have all accounts merged, but with this app, that's all it is, an idea.

I don't think all three replacement phones are broken with the same exact issues. My phone has now been running for four days w/ no issues (the longest yet) after doing a factory reset and installing no apps. This leads me to believe my problems are software related. Now, I'm trying to smoke out the problematic app(s).
Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing, as my Enhanced E-Mail seems to be quite laggy sometimes, and it's almost always the first thing to show the annoying keyboard lock-up, no-dialing issue. However, I use it ALL the time so that may just be an obvious consequence ... at any rate, I'd hate to take it off the phone unless we knew for sure!

I want to agree with you but I've never had a random restart or lockup or any type of lag.
Yes I do and yes my phone reboots randomly as well as my keyboard becoming non responsive.
I've removed it as of yesterday.

I'm glad I am not the only one who gets the keyboard lock-up, no-dialing, random reboot issue. Since I stopped using EE, I have not experienced any of these issues in over a week. In a few more days, I am going to reinstall it to see if the problems return. If they do, then EE is officially the problem in my book! The app is so awesome that I hope it is a different app causing the problems. For me, the other problem app could have been Smart Keyboard Pro. I've since switched to the A.I.Type keyboard which I like better. If no problems return after I reinstall EE then the problems would have been caused by Smart Keyboard Pro on my phone.
A new version of EE (v.1.31.2) was released today! I am going to try it and see if the random reboots return. Since uninstalling EE a few weeks ago, my phone has been running FLAWLESSLY with no reboots! Let's hope that continues after installation. (crossing fingers)
Anyone currently using EE successfully with zero random reboots?

Unfortunately K-9 Mail has weak support for exchange, I connect to two different servers (or it did a few years ago, it still has only WebDAV support) and neither worked with K-9.
On a different note, do you have any reboots with Kaiten?

I used to use Kaiten and K-9. Here are the *main* problems I had with them:
Can't change font color
Can't change font type
Let's say I have 100 emails in my inbox, I scroll down to see email #59, I switch to different app for something, when I return to K-9/Kaiten, the app reloads all of my emails; thus LOSING MY PLACE in the message list. Completely unacceptable!!!
Have these issues been addressed in the latest versions?
I've been interested in using a 3rd party email app (EE, kaiten, k9, maildroid, etc) for multiple Gmail accounts. My only question is if the 3rd party app gets push email just like the stock Gmail app.
honestly, im happy with stock e-mail as I don't type full page novels, but honestly, I have hears nothing but negative on EE!

Great! Please let us know if your phone starts experiencing random reboots after installing EE if you don't already experience them.
I haven't had any random reboots but my first gripe about EE is no threaded emails. Am I not seeing a setting in EE for threaded emails?
What other 3rd party email apps have you guys used that have threaded emails?

I am very Gmail dependent and its funny when you first get the phone and setup Gmail, it doesn't do this automatically. So I always go and do this and that goes to all email once you do it.
I bet they just want to make sure you do it yourself so later you can't blame them for extra data use.
Anyways, happy that you haven't got fired
Can you let me know if the exchange email app allows you to flag emails and then sort view by flagged emails so all flagged emails show up instead of having to scroll down the list of many emails to see the flagged ones? So far I have only found sense email app to do this and touchdown which I don't like. I am on the fence of buying this phone but need that functionality. Can anybody also post some screenshots of how the exchange email app looks like?
Thanks all
I'm a HEAVY E-mail user with one Exchange account, two IMAP accounts and two GMail accounts synced to my phone. I'm running the latest version of MeanROM which I mostly enjoy but the stock mail.apk applet has been completely overlooked. I'm convinced very few users maintain EAS accounts or bother with the stock app but it's pretty key to me.
It doesn't appear the 1.22.651.3 base or Sense 4.1 did anything to address the oversized font/zoom issue with the stock mail app nor did it fix the "Display Images" button on every message with HTML content. It also broke the ability to display links but that's a different issue altogether.
Which ROMs have addressed the stock mail applet or am I stuck with +20pt fonts on an otherwise gorgeous display?
I know CM10's default email fixes the issue (and bonus--you can flip through your emails without going back to your inbox). Of course, it also forces you to input your pin every time you want to use the phone, but that's a minor bug.
Links inside of emails NEVER worked for me on this phone, even when it was bone stock.
Clickable links in an email (and text messages) on a mobile device is patented by Apple and that may be the reason why they're not working in the stock mail app.
I can't speak with authority, but non-clickable links in email may be an intentional move by HTC to avoid getting sued.

I feel your pain.
Unfortunately you might just have to go with CM10, if this is you use Mail on your phone this much. The one feature lacking from the CM10 version is the inability to set an update schedule. But everything else is at least comparable.
And, just like with the Sense version, there is a version that bypasses Exchange security so you don't have to use a PIN to unlock your phone every time.
+1 on CM10
Thanks for the responses. I'm surprised few ROMs seem to address this. I'm going to try Stock w/ Goodies or CM10 next... Are there any glaring issues to look out for?

Have you used K9 mail? The logo is stupid but the app is amazing. It always is on top of "best email app" lists. Give that a shot before changing ROMs just for the sake of the email app.

I thought about K-9 but that was back when it still had the Gingerbread UI. I still do.t think I should have to maintain a third party app for basic functionality that HTC borked from the factory.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed yet? Or will I just need to find a new mail app?

Multiuser was finally enabled. Great news on that front.
With the update to 4.3 comes App Ops! Now we can restrict individual apps from accessing personal information.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/app-ops-brings-granular-permissions-control-to-android-4-3/
It is with misfortune that this functionality will be removed if our devices get updated to 4.4.2.
4.3 update install failed
I downloaded and there was a button that said install/restart. Clicked the button it disappeared, but nothing else happened. Didn't install 4.3... restart did nothing. If i try to download system update, it tells me the system is already up to date. I don't see the update file in downloads, could it be somewhere else. Any thoughts?
I understand that on most android devices the update goes on the cache partition (which is only viewable with root).

I have the same email problem with my Hotmail: 4.2.2 worked flawlessly, but now 4.3 will not connect to Hotmail using the stock client. The workaround solution is to download and use Microsoft's official Outlook app from Google Play. You'll have to use the Outlook client to send and receive mail, but at least your email will start working again.
