I had the same problem with a different client, with the SGS2, but figured it would be fixed in the S3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621373
When an email is sent to a distribution group, there's no way to reply to the group. Instead the reply is only sent to the original sender. There does not appear to be a way to reply all.
To elaborate:
I send an email about bowling on saturday night to [email protected] which goes to all staff members, everyone receives it, all is good. However, Bill wants to reply to the group to suggest that he is a better bowler than everyone in the company, so he taps reply, and sends his email. However, the email ONLY goes to me, not to the whole group. Frustrated, Bill goes back to see how he can reply all to the group, but there is no way to do so.
How can I help Bill reply to the group? Getting Bill to remember to type the group name in, or add the group to his reply is a poor work around.
Is there an alternate app that will allow the extremely complex and bleeding edge function of 'reply all?'
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any apps/utils that notify you of new emails (without actually checking email directly on the phone). What I mean is, an app that I guess checks it in the background or whatever, then pops up letting you know you have mail "to check". When I had my "other phone" there was an app called Ultimate Notifier that did this - I didn't have to check my email constantly, and I'd only get notifications that I had email "to check" when I did.
I've found a few apps in the market, but none seem to either work at all, or even do what I'm wanting to do. I know it's not an issue to check email every hour or whatever, but sometimes I prefer to just be notified that I have an email, and if I decide to check it, I check it, if not I don't, at least I was notified anyhow.
Hopefully there's "an app" for that, lol. It's the only thing I miss coming from my "old phone" If it matters, I'm using AquaMail, and the few that I have found are for K9 mail (and haven't been updated in years).
Thanks.

I'm confused. All email I thought had this built in. I use Gmail, Yahoo (through built in email app) and Outlook through touchdown. Gmail and outlook are push so every time I get an email I can have it notify me. Yahoo checks every 1/2 hour and notifies me if I have a new email.
why would you need an external app unless you don't have nay kind of setting to auto update mail or push?

Because I don't have it set to update. I generally do, but wanted to have it the way I had it with my other device. It'd just notify that I *had* an email (it wouldn't pull it or anything), and I could choose to check it or not check it. I know it seems silly, but it's just the way I preferred it I suppose.

OK not sure if you do this to save battery life or whatever but if so it would not make sense since the other app would be reaching out (push) to see if there was any email. So it would be a wash one vs the other.

A bit of battery saving. I'm not sure how the app I was using with my other device worked (It was called Ultimate Notifier), but their system checked my email server(s) to see if I had messages, if I did, it'd just send me a push notification - I wasn't "polling" any email servers on my end.

Umm...Ultimate Notifier was made at a time when Push email didn't exist outside of using MobileMe. It was made useless when Apple allowed Push mail with Gmail and POP3 boxes. What you were, in essence, doing is polling the Ultimate Notifier server in the same way that phones today poll Gmail (or other boxes). It used no less battery. In fact, if you know how Push notifications work it doesn't matter if you have 1 service (in your case Ultimate Notifier) or 10 services, you're not using any more battery. The only thing using the battery is downloading the emails, which probably accounts for about 10 minutes of battery a day.
In essence, there's no need for an app like that when every email app can do it natively. It uses the same amount of battery. If you liked how it looked and such...that can probably be done with a few other apps (different email apps or notification apps).

Just would like to contribute to the nerds repository of information. Now that I've had my phone running for literally days without having to charge. I just wanted to share how I managed to do it, and I still am notified when new email is available..
In case if it hasnt been mentioned before, here's how it's done
1- Turn off syncing of google mail..
2 - Create an account on IFTTT.com
3 - Create an IFTTT rule to send your phone a Text Message with the Subject of the text message as the subject of the email when new email becomes available within GMAIL.

Something is clearly wrong if your having battery problems and you need to turn off sync. Are you on your phone every minute of the day? I'm sure there's alot more you can do besides turning off sync, but whatever floats your boat. My battery has been fine on my S4.
sounds like he is turning off wifi, and using this text system for email notifications instead of wifi connection
The person who had my number before me was apparently bad at even attempting to manage privacy, I get spam calls and texts for them pretty regularly. I had one scammer in particular get so angry with me that he hung up on me after 20 minutes of hassling me. Whatever group he worked with proceeded to harass me with over 100 calls in the next three days. It's gone back to a more "normal" level of spam but, lately, I'm getting shortlinks to payday loan sites.
I know how to report the SMS to my carrier, the FTC, and the FCC. I can report the shortlink to the shortening service and it immediately gets taken down.
The problem is that my phone has already "followed" the link and it shows up as a click. I can tell because the info page for the shortlink always shows a click from Chrome on Android.
I'm using Messenger and I'd prefer not to switch but I suppose I'm willing if it's the only option. There's a part of me that wants to use Verizon's messaging app because of its ability to text over Wifi and sync to the web client as well but it appears to have the same issue as Messenger and it's ugly as sin.
I'm using a Nexus 5X with stock Android.
Hello,
Looking for some guidance over email. For my work I receive sales leads via email on my work mobile (android) these are transmitted to numerous competitors at the same time. Most often, my competitors beat me to the customer, even if contact straight away!
I need a way in which I can get a step ahead. I have used lots of different mail apps most have a frequency of checking for mail every minute. However, those few seconds can make all the difference.
Does anyone know of a quicker way to receive email.
Thanks
Aj
