Hi, just got my Honor 7 (from Amazon deals at £175). Liking it mostly so far, but have a few small issues.
I used Google Inbox for email, but since adding Inbox app I get double email notifications - from both Inbox and in the Gmail app.
I cannot remove the Gmail app as it is a system app and cannot be removed.
What can I do about this please?
Thanks!

open gmail > settings > notifications > [off]
and you could stop it syncing with gmail altogether with:
system settings > accounts > google > [email protected] > sync gmail [off]
@meza101 - nice price by the way, boxing day week sales offer?
Thank you, works perfectly.
Yes it was in the boxing day sales week. I saw the price and thought it worth taking a gamble on. I'd tried the P8 on demo in Selfridges recently and was impressed with the build quality.
The EMUI has some nice features, but on the whole I'd be happier with stock Android.

I have one Exchange account and two IMAP accounts. After using the Note for about a month, my stock email client was getting slower and slower. It became essentially unusable today; I couldn't even select a message to load. Reclaiming memory and force closing/rebooting did nothing.
I noticed email was taking up 85MB in the applications screen, so I cleared storage and set up my accounts from scratch again (PITA). Now email works much better and only takes 3MB of space. I'm assuming there's a memory problem in the email app, so anyone using it who experiences this, try setting up your email again and see if it helps (obviously do not do this if you use POP and don't have copies of your messages elsewhere).
I take it back...laggy again after half a day. Can't do anything with the Note for about 10 to 15 seconds after opening an email account.

After a hard reset everything is snappy again.

good thread, are we the only 2 who find the stock email app to be Turribly laggy?
what options are there? i am new to Android.
tx --- art.
I stop using it. I already started deleting apps that i dont use to keep them out of memory.

My response to this was lost (tapatalk). I switched to Enhanced Email, which removes the lag issue completely. But it isn't without its own issues. It doesn't sync tasks and if you enable calendar sync it eats your battery within hours. Too bad the stock client is so bad. Maybe ICS will fix it, but EE is probably my best option for now since I have Exchange + 2 IMAP accounts and I really want a single/combined inbox option.
i will check out EE, tx haus!

ahh $10, not worth it to me. this is for my business, but i dont wanna spend $ if i dont have to.
i wonder if using gmail or K9 for my own business' email to push emails from my godaddy email account to my Gnote is safe.?.
any opinions on gmail or K9 being secure for business use?
I too am looking for a decent email app, has anyone tried K-9 Mail??
Another +1 for EE.
The stock email was laggy to the point of being unusable. EE runs really smooth with a month of email sync'd in both my exchange and gmail accounts. It does however use up about 53MB of RAM.

You spent $300 on a phone for business and the one-time $10 charge puts you over the top?

yes
i've spent enough $ on app's that i later regretted buying. this problem seems to be something simple enough that a free app would take care of it. i could be wrong though :-\
so far the free GoDaddy app has sped the process up and i get my emails lag-free now
Recently moved back to Android after three years with iOS. Purchased the Droid DNA. I am having a few problems with the move, but the main one seems to be lack of instant notifications. I need instant notifications from Twitter, Facebook, and E-Mail. This doesn't seem to be happening. It looks like I am at the mercy of Jelly Bean's AutoSync which syncs like.... every few hours.
Is something broken?
Use a different client for Facebook and Twitter which has instant notifications! Play store has tons of different clients!

Oh, the official clients don't have instant notifications? That's weird. Thanks for the info.

They do have push notifications. Check in their settings.
friendcaster pro is a Facebook client with push notifications, it works really well
I found out the problem is with HTC's E-Mail client. The problem doesn't exist with the default. I had to purchase Enhanced E-Mail, which is working good.
I'll try out Friendcaster Pro, thanks.
Hello all,
Looking for a mail program that will receive mail from 3 to 5 accounts and filter it into a separate folder for each account.
Thanks,
John

Default email program allows multiple accounts, it keeps them in different folders.
Almost as complex & hard to set up as Outlook, but satisfying in the end: K9 and Kaiten. You can swap config files between the two, so you can start with the free K9.

Ditto, it works very well. I use it on both my Note 10.1 2014 and my Note II. I've had up to eleven email accounts working on it without any problem. Although it keeps mail in separate folders it also includes a unifying inbox to make it easier to keep up-to-date will all accounts, this is something I found frustrating with Outlook in that it does not include a unifying inbox, thus on my desktop PC I've now switched to Thunderbird.
Count me as a big fan of aqua mail

cloud magic is awesome
TouchDown for smartphones and tablets is the best I have ever used. It is harder to configure compared to aquamail, but once it is set up, you will be happy. I currently use aquamail for my personals, and touchdown for business (office 365 account). I highly recommend it.

I personally use CloudMagic for my email needs (1 personal Gmal, one Google Apps Gmail for school, one Hotmail, and one Yahoo). It also supports office 365 accounts, exchange, iCloud, and IMAP accounts. You have separate folders for each within the app, as well as a unified inbox option. Its really smooth and very useful, as well as looking nice too
Nine is the best Email App - just awesome https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3

I agree, Nine is the best Outlook-esque email app I have used on Android. Very nice UI, crisp and modern, able to change fonts for outgoing messages, etc...
My wife just updated to 4.4.2 OTA and since then her "me" contact contains both accounts on her phone (mine and hers) and makes mine default. Is there a way to choose which is default?
From looking I assume that simply uninstalling g+ will fix this.
I have my account set to never sync anything but google play books/music/apps.
I left keep contacts up to date in g+ unchecked.
Anyone offer any assistance? I guess she doesn't really use g+ anyway so uninstalling may be the way to go.
I think this is actually a product of Google plus. Try unchecking the "improve contacts" option for the profile you don't want.

Also unchecked with keep contacts up to date.

The stock Samsung email app is OK but robust it is not. If you want more consider AquaMail Pro. Free trial and a few bucks to own. Very good looking and powerful. Keep all of your email addresses in one spot.
I have no connection to the app other than I own and like it.
K9 mail real good opensource mail client.

i like the Sammy Email but +1 on free and robust
I agree Aquamail is quite nice IMO. Did not take long for me to get the pro version... For couple bucks it is well worth it.... Knowing also how much work is required to access exchange via ews the app is in fact cheap... Only complain is no sync with Outlook contact and calendar AFAIK.
Thanks for the heads up on this app that deserves it.
Cloudmagic is great too

blue mail it's the best.... ????
If I require mail, contact and calendar sync with 3 Exchange accounts what is the best non stock email app for me to try? I have been hating the inaccurate notification style of the stock Samsung email app
Nine is my email app of choice. Plus it shows the exchange calendar in the stock calendar app.

+1 for Nine. I have been looking for a good Exchange Email App and when I found Nine I knew I hit gold! It is by far the best Exchange Email app around... and I have tried many.

If MS Exchange compatibility is your prioirity you cant beat Touchdown. It is not free however. But you can get a free trial to try it out. For me its well worth the price.
Yes, Cloudmagic. I just went through and tried most of them, and Cloudmagic I've been using for about a week. Aquamail did look good, I just didn't have the time to go through and learn all the functionalities of it. I'll probably give it another try once I'm able to spend more time learning it.

Definitely Blue mail is the go-to mail app, it is free Nd it is multiaccount with push notifications and looks great on the GTS
The new Gmail does all that and is free

But Gmail doesn't have push notifications
Is it only the included mailapp (and calendar) from Samsung that works with the tab after papergarden? I assume you know what I'm talking about, no? On videos from YouTube I believe the widgets covering the calendar and mail widgets are yellow and green.
If third party mail/calendar apps doesn't work together with said widgets, isn't it better to stick with the stock apps?
No way.. Blue mail is the one. They will repond quickly also if you send in ab issue. Plus its works constantly for push on mulitple accounts. Stock for some reason goes to sleep and emails come in up to 1 hour late. I thought google would have fixed the isue from note 3. Not every since they stopped supporting exchange mail settings 2 years ago.
who runs blue mail? There no info who they are?
I like mailbox, perfect for me.
type mail
It's fairly new but I love it I think it's better than aquamail pro, I have them both downloaded but I think Type Mail is alot faster. Did I mention completely free.
