I'm coming from an HTC M8 and have been using my work exchange emails from within the Gmail app since support was added late last year. However, the gmail app on the S6 Edge does not have Exchange as an option when adding an account - just POP and IMAP.
Is there something I'm missing, or has Samsung disabled email clients other than their own from using exchange?
Have you updated all the apps in the Play Store?
I'm having the same issue on my Galaxy S6. All of my apps have been updated in the Play Store. Any ideas? I don't want to have to run two email apps to get my work email... (I really hate exchange servers)

I believe if you disable the stock email app then you will also disable the exchange function in Gmail.

I can't speak to that as I haven't disabled the stock email app, however I did find a solution to this problem as discussed in another thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/gmail-exchange-support-t3070884
The problem appears to be that Samsung blocks the Google Exhange APK in the Play Store. However, you can still download the APK and install it after enabling 3rd Party Software installs in security settings, then it will work. You can get Google's APK here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ge-services-6-5-1729047-android-apk-download/

Do you like using Gmail over the built in app? I was actually pleasantly surprised by it.
I do. Option wise its good, quick, simple layout.

Here's the deal - I want to add my corporate email account to the stock app on my S4 however - my company has stopped approving individual Android phones to the network. They now want me to use the 3rd party app Touchdown, which I don't want to do.
My last phone was a Galaxy Nexus and was able to successfully use the activesync exchange. Is there a way to trick my company in thinking I have a GNex (approved phone) so I can use the native app? Changing the phone name in the build.prop file didn't seem to work.
I'd prefer to use the S4 native app but if I can pull the stock app from the GNex, that works too.
Thanks for your help!

I can't really answer your question, but have one of my own to you. What's wrong with Touchdown? I actually prefer it since I only have to enter my pin when I launch the app. When I configured the stock app for Exchange I had to enter it every time I woke my phone which drove me crazy. I acknowledge it's a personal preference thing.

Stock looks so much nicer. Looks like an app actually created for JB. Touchdown looks like a blackberry app from 2003. I like the way stock integrates with my calendar.
Also, I used the modified version of the stock app so I didn't have to enter a PIN

While I agree that visually Touchdown is not as nice as the stock app, it will sync the phone's native calendar with exchange.

Do you know how? My understand is that while it may sync with contacts, it can't sync with the stock calendar.

When you setup the account in Touchdown you just select the Calendar to sync.
I have used it on many different ROMs and since my Galaxy Nexus. I have noticed that sometimes it can take a while for the events to appear in the calendar. (A couple hours at times at first.)
I think you are SOL. The Exchange server you will connect to can (and is probably configured) to check a unique hash generated from your current phone that is registered at the first sync that was done on your GNex. There are hacks out there, but I have no idea how well they work.

Can you point me to the modified stock app? I'd at least like to take a look and see if it's something I can use. I'll not totally sold on Touchdown and an alternative would be nice.

I'm a little confused here. So you can use your phone but only if you use Touchdown. Does touchdown connects to your network some special way? What error do you get when you try to use your S4 mail app?

I've been using Touchdown for a few years now and I really like it but I've never found a way to have the Touchdown calendar copied/synched/etc to the phone's built-in calendar. I know this option exists for the contacts but I just checked all of the settings in TD again and an option to do so with the calendar does not appear to exist. Please tell me how you accomplish this?

When you initially set up the account it gives you the tick boxes for email, contacts, and calendar. I select email and calendar but not contacts and it has always synced my calendar.

Correct. I was told by my internal IT that they do not authenticate individual models of Android phones anymore for activesync (because there is so many different versions. ugh.). So they tell you that if your device isn't already on the list, you need to use Touchdown. I was able to use the stock app on the Gnex, but can't on my S4. The error message simply says "Setup could not finish: Authentication failed".
I was hoping there would be some way to manipulate the app so my phone would appear as a GNex to the network.
Now that the S4 had been out for a little bit I will give this a bump and hope someone had a solution Please help . Thanks!

One of the many times I restored I did have a problem with FC's and created a step 6...
6. If this doesn't work just remove those two apps from the app folder and install the 2 apks from the SD Card. Then run TIBU and convert email to a system app, if it errors reboot the device.
If all else fails you just remove those two apks, and rename the original files back and reboot. Of course as always....
Please make a backUp when trying any mod, I am not responsible if your phone breaks. Yada Yada :good:

I would suggest Hyperdrive as an option and choose aosp email client vs tw. Hope that helps. Idk if it will but it seems it would since it's based off of cm's email client.

I'm loving this new gmail. Especially with the exchange services. Unfortunately the exchange policy patch (on XDA) doesn't work with this yet, so for now I'm just using it for gmail. Can't stand having to use a pin or password! Especially when we now have fingerprint recognition.

Gmail Feature: Gmailify
There's a %100 chance that you already have and use Gmail on your Android phone. So I'm not going to exactly blow our mind when I tell you about this app. However there is a new feature that was announced recently that might have gone under the radar for some of you. "Gmailify" is the horribly named new feature that lets you use any Yahoo or Hotmail email address with the Gmail app and take advantage of all of your favorite Gmail features.
Now I can consolidate both my @Live and @gmail addresses in one app. The Gmail client has always been my favorite app to use for email. So I much prefer to use this than a third party client to consolidate my accounts.
To get stared just add a new account like you would normally and you'll see the option to add your @Live and @YAHOOO accounts. Check out this video that was uploaded to Google's YouTube channel.
Download Gmail
How many of you will take advantage of this feature?
Well, more years ago than I can remember I pretty much linked all of my emails to Gmail, so I've had this functionality across all platforms since then.
For as long as I can remember the android app has also let me choose which of these addresses to send from.
I'd recommend that approach tbh.
Can be done from the site. This app-feature lead me to it so that was useful. But I can read all the email accounts by anything accessing the gmail, Android and desktop applications.
Has anyone figured out how to Gmailify more than one account. I want to Gmailify both my hotmail account and my yahoo account. I can do either, but not both. Very silly limitation.

That's not gmailfying, thats just adding an account to the gmail app (which has been around for years). Gmailifying means gmail completely takes over, when you open gmail (from any device) you will have the mail from the gmailified account alongside your gmail. Adding an account the way you describe is just local on the app. What you need to do is "link" an account, not just add an account. To do this, after you add an account, go into the setting and chose link to gmail. However, if you already have 1 account linked it will tell you that you can't have another one linked. I hope this makes sense.

Just use 2 different users on your device, have 2 different sets of apps. With 2 different Gmailify apps, you can link both accounts separately. Will it work? Am I genius or a fool?

I gave up with the stock app as it kept complaining about needing internet connectivity & other annoyances while using it, so I've downloaded Google's own Calendar app from the Play Store & removed the built in one. The only issue with this is that when pressing the Date in the notification menu, it doesn't go through to the calendar app (they've hardcoded it to launch com.android.calendar), but that's only a minor complaint really...

Hello,
I wanted to know which email App you use. Because the original one I don't like it and Gmail on quick app is very awful :/
So if you can answer to this it would be great!
I use Gmail. Yeah Gookill is just evil.
Use a cloud based only app like Gmail.
That eliminates malware completely unless you chose to download it.
Gmail is excellent with spam and I have never gotten malware through it except if not mindful of downloaded files.
My Yahoo email got locally wifi hacked once, I don't trust it's encryption now.
Outlook is malware central
Yahoo mail, with Gmail and Yahoo account.
I have no notifications, but I check it anyway, several times a day.
Aquamail, the best.
Nine -> Just get it from Petal Search. If you paid for it on playstore you can add your subscription on the Huawei without issue, you just need to paste the order or something in the app.

Thanks to MicroG settings, now I have notifications too.
Hi, I've been using Spark, I tried also BlueMail but didn't like it at all, what made me convince about Spark is that it syncs also your gmail folders, so everything keeps as if you were using gmail app, also your signatures, contacts an many more features that makes me forget about gmail native app.
It's available in app gallery, good luck!
Another cool app imo -> "Re:Work". https://rework.so/
I was using "Nine" previously so this is their new app and even had promotion for "Nine" users.
It's not available in the app gallery but it can be downloaded.
