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.
Anyone noticed that the Note features SMS Sync with Exchange 2010? Haven't used a Samsung Android phone before so wasn't sure if this was just a standard Samsung thing or specific to the Note but it's overall really nice. I thought this was something only available if you used Windows Mobile 6.5, but it's working great on my Note.
Anyways, just noticed it and thought it was kind of cool. Wasn't sure if anyone else had seen it as well. Here's the Guide if you're interested in learning more about it - http://help.outlook.com/en-us/beta/910552b1-c99c-4046-8bbc-9d2e8dbcbfda.aspx
Yep, this is the first Android handset I've had that does it. Nice to see Android starting to make inroads into the more advanced features of Exchange. The Note also syncs tasks, too, which is also a first for me (for Android - of course WM6.5 had these features years ago IIRC). Now if the Note could sync notes, it would be nirvana (and a pun). And if S-memo were somehow integrated with exchange notes so that your s-memos were synced with Exchange and viewable in Outlook and OWA...there are serious places Google could take this if they felt like it.

My god, the thought of this just makes me want to hurry up and deploy 2010. Screw public folders!
(we are still in test on SP 2010)
HTC started working in syncing Exchange tasks in Sense 3.0 or 3.5 as well. I can never remember which version is which.
SGS2 already syncs tasks. But I have no Exchange 2010 to test with. So not sure if SMS is supported on SGS2.
on the epic touch 4g on sprint which is there sgs2 i never had sms sync.
I've had the feature since I put the vanilla Samsung 2.3 ROM on my original AT&T GTab. I always turn it off. It was cool to see an SMS in Outlook but the sender was listed as the phone number and I couldn't reply to the SMS from Outlook. If you can reply to the SMS with Outlook with your server, then the feature is more useful.
you need exchange 2010 to do that. 2007 will let you recieve them.
Hi, I'm new here. I'm using a HTC HD2 with WM6.5 (and Office 365) and have no experience with Android. SMS sync is the main reason why I'm still on WM6.5. But the phone has been giving me problems and I've been seriously looking at alternatives. Was looking at the HTC One X plus Touchdown (exchange Activesync client app) but learnt that TD still has bugs for SMS sync.
Was very excited when I saw this thread. So I gather the Galaxy Note has it's own Samsung stock EAS client which allows SMS sync? Does it work well i.e. all texts sent and received on your phone syncs up to OWA and Outlook and vice versa? What about the Galaxy S II?
Would really appreciate your sharing your experience with this. Thanks.

Have you tried cruising the android market? I doubt that samsung is the first to have actually done this.
just a quick search of the market found this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nitrodesk.touchdownpro&feature=search_result
not sure if it would work for you, but it's a place to start. With that being said you could essentially find ANY android phone you want, but the note is still the best
touchdown will do it but one of the issues is if the carrier supports the feature. at&t just happens to support this. the sgs2 international had this functionality as well. i found this out from another person in the company i work for.
Hey guys, thanks for the reply. Yes from what I've read, Touchdown seems to be the best option out there - far ahead the competition. Plus not only do they sync the usual stuff (email, contacts, calendar, tasks), they apparently also sync notes and SMS. A godsend for me...just like WM6.1/5! I dug further and even joined the forums in Touchdown but then found out there were still bugs with SMS sync and others. So I held back. And I found this thread. I've been scouring the net just to figure out what people's experience are with each but nothing is clear. As it stands, it just appears I have 2 options:
1) Get Touchdown (full featured EAS) and hope they fix the bugs, get a newer ICS phone
or
2) Get a SGS2 or SG Note (assuming the SMS sync works well), forego the notes sync.
Or maybe wait for SGS3 and hope the SMS sync feature is carried over?
sms sync works with stock email client
anyone able to use this to SEND sms? outlook 2010 supports the feature, and the message gets as far as the outbox on the note, but for some reason, goes to the email outbox, and not the sms box.
Also - if you have any alerts configured SMS sync screws that up. I had a rule that would send me a TXT message whenever my SQL server sent an email with high importance (aka a failed job). Exchange wont do that, becasue SMS sync is on.

You can still have public folders in 2010 and theyre easy to migrate. The SMS sync is delayed (I dont use it, I use google voice) but fine.
Yeah you CAN have Public Folders, but since we just invested in a large SP2010 farm I don't WANT public folders.

I've got to ask... how is it working great? I bought a note, set up SMS Sync (on both the stock GB and the stock ICS), and neither was usable. Sure, I could send SMS from outlook fine, but:
Sent SMS did not get displayed on the phone in the email client, or the SMS client
Received SMS displayed in the email client but do not show who they are from
Received SMS in the email client can not be replied to
SMS sent via the SMS client on the phone do not display in the email client on the phone, and do not get synced to Exchange
I could go on... but basically, it wasn't usable. How did you find it?
For what it's worth, I tried Nitrodesk's thing and it wasn't any better. I have a strong suspicion Samsung may have bought it to integrate into their phones actually, as it had the same bugs.

I just bought a Samsung S3 and my experience with the native Activesync and Exchange 2010 is ok but far from great. Here's what I am experiencing:
1) The native Activesync is not matching the contact name in the Activesync Contacts with the incoming SMS message. So, when I am looking at the SMS message in the Android "MESSAGES" icon/app, I DO see a matched 'friendly' name. But, when it gets sent to Exchange via Activesync it drops the friendly name. So, in the Android EMAIL icon/app, I only see the sending phone number.
2) When I'm using the full Outlook client at a computer, I see the TXT message come in and with the full Outlook client it only shows the sender as the 'phone number' and no matching occurs there as well. I think the root cause is no matching at the phone, so it's a pass-through here.
3) When I reply to one of the SMS messages with the full Outlook client at a computer, replyabilility does work and it puts the sending phone number in the TO: field and still no matching.
4) FAIL: In OWA (Exchange 2010) there is NO replyability with the SMS message. You can select REPLY but it does not automatically fill/paste in the destination TO: and you have to manually enter it. This lack of replyability is only with OWA, but the full client.
5) Performance, is fine, messages fly great and instantly.
This is my first Android exerience. I came from a Windows Mobile phone, and I chose the Android function over the iPhone because the iPhone does not support SMS Sync. My phone is stock, no apps added except Facebook. I did try to load Touchdown but I could not get all the functions to work. All that was sync'ing was email, no contacts/SMS/Notes/Calendar....etc. I did not spend more than 10 minutes troubleshooting so I abandoned efforts.
My phone is running 4.0.4, Kernel 3.0.8- 1092717
I promptly disabled my SMS sync. I don't need all my personal text messages flowing through my employer's line of sight. Not saying I have anything to hide, but they just don't need it.

Hey All:
There seemed to have been some work in the past getting the AOSP E-mail Client up and running on Touchwiz, but I can't find any updated Lollipop AOSP files.
Does anybody know if we can get the Lollipop AOSP E-mail Client up and running on the S5 running (rooted, custom) Touchwiz roms? I'm looking for its Android Wear integration (and can't get Gmail's exchange abilities running).
Thanks for any help.

E-mail client It has been replaced by Gmail. You have to use gmail as a client also for account not google.
Unfortunately all that I get are crashes on Gmail when I sideload in the Exchange support. Are you sure that the AOSP client isn't available? Samsung still builds their custom version for lollipop; it just doesn't have decent Wear support.

He literally just told you gmail replaced the aosp email client. also the exchange support afaik was only needed to be sideloaded with the first few builds of that gmail update. since lollipop came out exchange can be done natively by the gmail app alone
EDIT:
I made a mistake gmail only nativley supports exchange on nexus devices. install this http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ge-services-6-5-1729047-android-apk-download/ to get it working

I should have been more clear to keep from getting flamed. I wasn't attacking him, I was just asking whether the two were still available simultaneously, in the same way as Hangouts hasn't fully replaced the Messenger application (and the latter has been released to the play store). I deserved that tone of a response.
Installing the Exchange Services and using Gmail to handle my Exchange account results in FC's of Gmail on boot and any time I try to access the Exchange account in Gmail. I'm on a Galaxy S5 (W8) running XTreStoLite (a stripped down but otherwise stock Touchwiz ROM). My hope was that AOSP is still around. If not, then maybe I'll try the Nine e-mail client.
No offense intended and glad someone came to the original responder's aide after my rude comment.

I'm switching from a Moto to Nexus shortly and was upset to see no more stock mail app, I am going to try the apk's from the above thread. Hope they will work, Gmail just isn't as good.
I was using the stock Email app, but since I updated to Lollipop I always got the "Exchange Services has stopped unexpectely". I got tired of waiting for a update/fix and decided to use a 3rd part mail app.
I have read through and testet different mail apps and ended up with two candidates:
Nine
Type Mail / Bluemail
I love both - specially for the features to combine mails with tasks, so I can be reminded of mails later etc. Only difference for me is that Nine is a paid app and Typemail is free.
However I need your help on the privacy! It seems some mail clients store mails temporary on their server, scan your mails and sell information to advertisers and maybe other stuff? Does anyone has insights on this and preferable regarding these apps?

You could try K-9 Mail, an open source mail client. It is available on Play Store as well as on F-Droid.

Thank you for reply. I tried K9, but I really don't like the older looking inbox view and it doesn't have the extra features such as reminder for later read of emails.

I am also afraid of email apps that rely on third party mail servers for the very reasons you have stated above. Were you able to find an android app that "fetches" and isn't associated with scanning or selling private info? I have heard good things about TypeApp and BlueMail - but there seems to be a third party email server involved, which I would really like to avoid. Also, I would prefer not having a unified mailbox, as I have five separate emails that I am constantly checking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Seems that you quoted the wrong member.
Hi I need a good email client because ever since I updated to marshmallow gmail doesn't sync automatically anymore and yes I've tried everything from deleting and reinstalling gmail to clearing it's data, clearing play services and framework data, removing all the accounts and re-adding them and doing a factory reset but nothing works it'll work for a little while but then stops again after about an hour also went on the gmail forum and asked there and saw dozens of other people having the same problem with no luck on getting a solution
If anyone had any other ideas besides switching to a different email client it would be greatly appreciated as I'm accustomed to the gmail app I also tried inbox and I still don't get notified when an email comes in. It's really frustrating as I rely on receiving email notifications promptly for work and checking my email every fifteen minutes to see is getting old real quick. I tried blue mail but don't care for it
Thanks Rob
Delete. Sorry, I jumped the gun in replying. ?
I like Aquamail Pro on my G3. I also use Lightflow to control how it notifies (both LED and audio). Great combo.

Thanks I'm setting it up now and it seems alright thanks
CloudMagic is an awfully slick solution for e-mail while mobile, provided you can tolerate the delegation of retrieving your e-mails to their servers in the cloud and you don't need any fancy folder management or message composition. My experience has been quicker handling of e-mails and better battery life too since you're set free from the ugly cycle of push notifications.
k-9
K-9 Mail is IMHO the best Android Mail Client out there for IMAP & POP3. Been using it for many years. Open source, still under development, very feature rich and customize-able.
